I've been thinking about killing myself a lot more lately.
Hello umzza,
Christians are not immune to the despair that leads to suicide. The enemy is a great deceiver (John 8:44). Who wants us to forget that victory is already ours in Christ (John 16:33).
A suicide cost me a friend of many years, that I loved dearly. Often, I still feel that pain. God loves you dearly, trust him. Scripture teaches if we'll draw near to God, he will draw near to us (Ja 4:7)
Matt 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Also see Mk 1:13
(NOTE: Temptation will come, do as Christ did, stand on the Word & fight back: Isa 54:17, Matt 16:23, Rom 6:14, 2 Cor 5:21)
James 4:7 (B) Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(NOTE: FIGHT him & keep fighting. The sign of a true champion is: When knocked down, they GET-UP & fight back)
Genesis 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
(NOTE: Sin lies at the door of our hearts)
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
(NOTE: Genesis 4:7 teaches sin lies at the door. Here, Rev 3:20 teaches Christ is also standing at a door. Open the RIGHT door)
2 Cor 10:
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
(NOTE: Thoughts of suicide come from evil spirits)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
(NOTE: REJECT any evil spirit that exalts itself against Gods word. Place your mind & faith in Christ. I'm standing in prayer with the other brother & sisters on this thread for & with you. We love you in Christ)
