I just spent 2 weeks in the psych ward after planning suicide. My Pastor took me to the hospital and had me admitted. My life was saved that day and my faith in Jesus has been renewed. I will be getting baptized on Saturday. The enemy had me in his grip for a long time and I fight this battle daily but with Gods help I make it through each day. I want to be in God's presence but ONLY when He brings me there.
Hallelujah sister
Stay strong Bonnie I love you and so does the Lord hold on to the faith and best of luck and blesses on your journey praise be his name ! 🙏🏾❤️🔥
You are not alone sister. I pray God bless you abundantly.
I pray God may bless abundantly as well. In Jesus name I pray, Amen
I'm curious, why do people think their life is being saved by Jesus when they're just being taken to a therapist?
My son in law passed away 2.5 years ago. He was an Army veteran and fought in Afghanistan. He had a ptsd breakdown. He was hearing voices and thinking people were after him. He even went to the VA hospitals and signed his self in to get help.
He was home for 2 wks before he went missing on a friday. He was found on Sunday but it was to late. I now help raise my grandson's.
I really needed to hear this.
May he Rest in Peace ❤
@@Phoenix.R thank you
I myself am a 55 yr old vet with ptrd, I've been battling with my demons horribly the last three weeks and I can see how someone can think it might be a way out but I can't be! I have to believe if you kill yourself for ANY reason you are hell bound. Unless you do it to save someone else's life. I can't fathom ruining my shot at heaven, I just couldn't do it.
Joe
@@mariagloriagonzalez6022 thank you for your service. I am extremely you are dealing with those demons.
I most certainly will be praying for you!! Please keep your mind set on that and do not let them win. I'm going to tell you it is the hardest thing ever watching my grandson's want for their Daddy.
I’m so terribly sorry for your loss…. My brother also served in Afghanistan, many years ago, and came home with severe PTSD and just last year was diagnosed with schizophrenia.. it’s been heartbreaking to watch him go through that… I pray, In Jesus name, that you and your family will feel the compassion of the Holy Spirit and will be surrounded by endless support and compassion as you grieve. I can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling, but I pray that you will feel the Peace of His presence as the Lord carries you in His loving arms.
I don’t share this a lot but I’m thirteen. When I was around 10 I had these really bad suicidal thoughts and tried to hang myself a couple times. Eventually the school found out and called my parents and apparently they were going to send me to a mental hospital without telling me and my parents had to literally beg the school not to. I became more in touch with God after that, and I went into therapy. I’m happy to say, that I only have mild anxiety and ADHD, but I am enjoying life and am happy with myself!! :3
In my country, if a school or the police try to put a student in a mental hospital, they will find themselves in court.
I'm so happy that you found God and I hope you're doing well!! God bless you
My aunt committed suicide in 2020, I heard she had hung herself by her neck in my dad’s shop with my uncle walking in on her dead body tied to the ceiling, it made me devastated. Rest in peace Aunt Sarah ✝️🕊️ May God hold you in his kingdom safe and sound no longer sick.
I'm so sorry about that I pray for her, ❤️💖✝️
My uncle committed s*icide because his gf wasn't the best person and was really affecting his mental health and locked him out on a balcony and he jumped,
Also I'm not sure if he was a christian or not.
On the bright side there is no heaven
Yes there is also WHAT KINDA PERSON SAYS THAT IN THIS VIDEO @@Fightmoreyuour.

I've been struggling with suicidal thoughts a lot over the past months, and I just want to say that this video has been really helpful and brought me much closer to god. Thank you for your service, god bless you.
So sorry to hear you’re going through this. May God be with you through this hard time and may you never give up🙏🏾🙌🏾
I tell you brother I like a lot of the messages that your brain but you are so wrong on so many points here. There are numerous scriptures that talk about losing your ability to be saved. Very clearly the Apostle Paul says we are being saved, not that we are saved no matter what as you claim. Jesus talks about bearing fruit or being cut off the vine and being burned in the internal fire. The Apostle Paul said I run the race with endurance lest after preaching others I myself in disqualified. He also talks about being enlightened and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and then going back to your life of sin and they're no longer remains a sacrifice for your sin but rather a terrifying expectation of judgment. The message that says you are saved no matter what is the most dangerous preaching in the church today.
We’re praying for you fam. Trust me, when you come out the other side you’ll stronger mentally and spiritually after. As the Bible says you just have to hold on and stay still. Bad times never last, but gods children and his son Doo. Let’s all pray for you and others going through the same thing
Father, I bless Your name. Deliver this person from suicidal thoughts, feelings, and actions. Thank you, Father. I ask in Jesus' name, amen.
Me too
My daughter tried to commit suicide in 2016. She survived and has a TBI. It is a miracle that she survived and I truly believe God saved her. I thank God every day for saving her. 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤ 😊
im so thankful shes alive
I had a Catholic friend who tried to commit suicide. Unfortunately he succeeded, and as the video states, it left immense grief. For the longest time, I was extremely worried where he would end up. This video helped ease my worries, but also a request for those who read this: please pray for his salvation in the face of his suicide.
what’s TBI?
@@Dayinthelifewmimi traumatic brain injury.
@@lorifeil895 Thank you. And my bad.
Lost my brother to suicide. Unexpected. He was a nurse practitioner, and if you were too poor to pay, he wouldn't charge you. I pray that he is in heaven.
He definitely is ❤
@@strawberriesstar Thank you. So good to hear that.
@@strawberriesstari hope he is but how do you know?
@@thizz707gr
They dont know.
Didnt even know what the guy believed.
Just wanted to make it sound good with a "little white lie"
@@BrownBrown270 yeah that's what I'm thinking
My best friend on ten years died by his own hand. I don’t know how religious he was, but he taught me many things. He’s one of the reasons I regained my faith. However his mother hated him, blamed him for everything and he wanted her attention and love. His sister tried to kill herself years prior, but failed and she was showered in love. I think he tried to do the same and went too far.
I light a candle or turn on one of those candle lights in his memory every Saturday I go to church. He saved my life and even though he took his own, I hope god acknowledges all that we did for each other. I hope that counts for something. I hope he’s there when it’s my time to come home.
Goodbye Walter. For you, I’ll do everything I can to live a life worthy of two men and may god love you more than I did. May he forgive you more graciously than I ever could. May he forgive me for failing to act, for failing to see when it mattered most.
To anyone else here who may be having thoughts of dying or using death to your benefit, I beg of you to reconsider. Even if you haven’t met them yet, there are people who need you somewhere and even if that somehow isn’t true god needs you here. I don’t know why, I can’t say how long you will be here for, nobody can. However I can say with certainty that you were put here for a purpose.
To those who might have friends who you think are at risk, don’t do what I did. I bet on his strength. I bet that he’d be strong enough to fight on until he would come to me of his own accord. I was wrong and he paid for it. As do I. If even the suspicion comes into your head, attack it with everything you got. I can tell you with certainty that if I could go back I’d rather have pissed him off or gone too far and have him be here.
For all those who know the way let your feet never succumb to the desire to walk another path. For the seekers of righteous who are lost upon the winding road, I hope you are guided home in time. For those who couldn’t care less about high concepts, I hope that in time you’ll come to understand the wisdom available to you for the road is always there for you to walk as long as you live. May god be with you all.
God bless you
❤️❤️❤️
I’m sorry for your loss, god bless you
I'm sorry about what Happened I pray for you,
God bless.❤️✝️
I’m not Christian yet I wish you the best luck. Accept My condolences.
Personally, no matter how depressed I am or how many suicidal thoughts I have, I would never attempt to end my life again and risk spending eternity in hell. Where you will be spending eternity is important, and it is something you can't undo once it happens, so please don't risk spending it in hell and instead continue to live for Jesus because you're alive right now for a good reason and God loves you!!
@@Dream-Eternal87 Hell is biblical Hell is real my friend
@@Dream-Eternal87 If you end up in Hell🔥 it is for eternity unless God👑 allows you to experience it and open the person's eyes and come back but other than that after you die and end up in Hell🔥 you are there for eternity.
@@JoseHernandez-mt1fxthat doesn't fit the character of a loving and just God to create a place for us to burn forever. Makes way more sense that we burn up and cease to exist. Eternal life is only given to those who are saved
@@bandolierboy1908 I know you don't want to believe it but it's true look at all the people who have had outer body experiences and seen and experienced Hell🔥 i have had my experience in Hell🔥 also
Amen ♥️🙏
"Give your loved one to God, and trust him with their soul" that hit me in a way I needed to be hit today. Thank you.
I agree. Profound statement
I cried when that part came up with the drawing of it. It hit me too 😭
Amen but pause tho
The only one who can mediate for our souls, and the souls of our loved ones, before God the Father is Jesus Christ.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus - 1 Timothy 2:5 King James Version) -
But if God commands you to murder (premeditated), that's hunky dory (eg Abraham with isaac)? What about murder in war (premeditated)? What if God commands genocide, r-pe, and other war crimes (eg amakelites)?
I'm a christian, but the ot kinda makes me wonder if the ot God was the same God or if a certain other 😈 had masqueraded as god back then
Several years ago, I struggled with a horrible anxiety. I did “everything”, but every day the anxiety was getting worst and worst. I prayed and prayed to Jesus and God to heal me, but I was feeling they weren’t listening to me. In the end they were always there. I’m here today, because they healed me…they never let go of my hand.
God will always hear you
Psalm 55:16-17 says, But I call to God, and the LORD will save me. Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice. Not a single prayer slips by God, because there's no time of day He isn't listening.
I've been praying for 14 years for my anxiety to go away. I've wanted to die because living with panic disorder is horrible. But I haven't been healed. Idk
@@djdb1214 you might be praying, but do you really feel and see God? Do you really have faith in him?
It always bothered me when Christians would flat out condemn someone, a person who was mentally hurting, suffering, and not getting the help they needed, to hell based on their suicide. I think Catholics tend to make condemnation by a person their belief system. I always felt that my God was not quite so black and white. He knows our minds, hearts, and souls. Thank you for this video. Of bless you.
Catholicism is a cult. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Always follow up any so called preacher to see if it aligns with God's word.
Im not Christian but followers like this are why I have so much love for Christian people. I was skeptical at first, but really had respect for this message toward the end. This person reached out with love and understanding.
That’s how god wants us to present him. Love, because he is love❤
You should consider becoming one, people like these are only a reflection of the God we serve he is good and loving but most importantly just. Ask him to reveal himself to you with an open heart and you’ll be changed promise
you should join the Christian community then! it's filled with people who are friendly and loving and are devoted to serve and honour God (but don't be deceived by those who put on an act just for show, you'd regret being around them). we'd be really happy if you become a Christian but don't feel pressured to become one :)
I find that many who say they aren’t Christian are some of the most nicest people with hard core morals, and I just think if they were a Christian they would be a strong one 💪 I pray that He reveals Himself in time because His timing is perfect
Do not listen to this. Thou shall not murder is a commandment. A Christian committing this will not enter heaven
I saved a loved one’s life when they attempted suicide. They had a terminal illness and were a person of great faith. It was the only time I ever saw an angel. I had stabilized her (I had advanced first aid training) and I was waiting for paramedics and I saw a beautiful angel sitting with us. I felt a deep sense of calm. I asked the angel if they were there for her and the angel said, “I’m here for both of you.” Praise Jesus for a gospel of grace. I believe that suicide is forgiven, as it is the depths of pain and sorrow, something only Christ can truly empathize with. Thank you for this video.
Suicide should NEVER be an option for a true follower of Christ (for a child of God). We must diligently seek the presence of God every day; We must seek his holiness every day in: prayer, fasting and Scripture.
13 BUT HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED.
Matthew 24:13 (King James Version)
19 BRETHREN, IF ANY OF YOU DO ERR FROM THE TRUTH, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
James 5:19-20 (King James Version)
Go do it then i dare you if it allowed and didn't Jesus died for your sins so basically you are sinless and to be honest Christians is religion man worshipping
@@r.a.gutierrez1465Tell them what it says though. The other things. Your comment is purely judgemental & goes against God's intention for our charity towards others.
@@biscuitbuilder27 thank you. 💜
@@biscuitbuilder27but he/she is right. If you are truly a follower of Christ, suicide is and will never an option. Jesus Christ is our savior, He will save you, seek and ask. That's a promise of God.
I lost my son Jan 6th due to suicide, he was in heavy distress and not in his right mind. I believe in the mercy of Christ. My son believed in Jesus. I know hes with the Lord
Prayers and condolences 🙏🏽
@@misses1768 thank you ❤️
God bless.
Im super sorry I can imagine how hard that was for you ❤
Yes he is! I don’t really like these kind of videos where people say if you take away your own life it’s a sin. Taking someone else’s life is a sin. But forcing someone to live a life they never asked for or want to be in is a bit cruel. Families that lost their kids, please continue to pray and don’t listen to the negativity about it being a sin. It’s not your fault.. don’t blame yourself. Stay positive ❤
The idea that suicidals go straight to hell is literally one of the major factors that kept me away from God and from my faith for many years. It’s disgusting. People commit suicide for a whole range of reasons, but more often than not it’s because of the monstrous actions of other people, and those said monsters wearing human skin will in all likelihood show up to the funeral pretending to be grieving knowing full well that they purposefully caused it. If anyone deserves to be thrown into the pits of hell, it’s the people who drive others into suicide, not (more often than not) poor innocent people whose lives are so miserable and scary that they feared it more than they feared dying!
Yep, I don't like comment section under this video. Placing guilt (or mark of failure) upon suicidal people for not being able to withstand cruelty of indifferent world is cruel in itself. They don't understand, that suicide is result of people who could have prevented it, but didn't do anything and by putting their very "effective" prayers, that depressed one would magically pull of 360, noscope, gg on suicidal thoughts is the same as doing nothing, remember. INDIFFERENCE KILLS MORE THAN ANY MURDERER WOULD
NO, suicide does NOT revoke salvation. Salvation is by faith alone and not works. If suicide meant loss of salvation, it's a works salvation.
It always bothered me that the people saying you shouldn't be thinking like this don't help you at the same time but pretend they did
because religion is simply disgusting.
Suicide to dosnt keep you from heaven, bible says the only unforgivable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit
I’ve recently made a commitment to God and myself that I will not take my life with my own hands, however I can’t count how many times I’ve begged God to take me to Heaven. The mind battles, the torments, the mental anguish, having to constantly fight my own mind, has been a lot on me
I struggle with the same thing, I hate my own mind. I have faith that God will give me mental freedom. God bless you🙏🏾
How are you doing now? If you’re still struggling please do seek some help - find people who can understand ❤
God loves you!
Ditto, and I think 95% of people would go to heaven NOW if God would accept us.
@@unforgettable8720Ditto! Life is hard when demons can easily influence our mind and thinking.
My cousin recently passed away last week from suicide she suffered from bipolar depression. it was really heartbreaking to me and hurt my heart very badly and it was a big shock to not only me but my family as well. So when I opened UA-cam and saw this was the first video on my UA-cam channel I cried really hard, because I was praying to God recently about this.
❤❤❤❤
"Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:33-39 🫂
Never let anyone's words or accusations separate you or your cousin from the love of the crucified, risen Jesus Christ. ✝️❤
im so sorry for your loss
praying for comfort for you and your family
If she was one of God’s chosen! She will go to Heaven! A lot of people might disagree, but I’m my soul a! Once you are God’s you are his! The only unforgivable is is to deny Jesus Christ! Love and peace be with you!
Jesus has her ❤ rest in that
This is how I see it too. I cannot wait to be done here, but I will wait on the Lord. He has a reason I’m here no matter how miserable I am. I belong to Him not me.
This is 100% WRONG ! If it is Wrong to Murder someone, Than it is Also WRONG To Murder Yourself !! 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. KJV
I grew up in the worst city in the usa. Iv allway every day read my bible. Because of jesus my life is fantastic!!!!!!!!!
He or she’s most likely wasn’t going to heaven on the first place psalm 38:10-12 says the meek will inherit the earth no sin is greater then the other Jesus death is for the forgiveness of sin suicide included ❤
Yes amen
During my worst thoughts, and during actual serious consideration and planning to commit suicide, I found Jesus. He put little signs in my life, telling me to look for Him, to start having hope. I wanted to cry when I figured out how much Jesus knows about my suffering and everyone else's. I now feel so much closer to Him, to the point where hearing or even thinking His name feels so much more impactful and brings grace back into my heart. I fight battles and repent against sin in the name of Jesus.
That is good to hear! Jesus has been tempted just like we are, so he can help us!
Exactly what happened to me in April this year😁 I had the nerve to search up, is suicide a sin? (Grew up in a religeous household, ik my parents don't lie so I trust them and their beliefs wholeheartedly) From there I've gotten closer to the Lord than ever
does that mean its okay di suicide?? lol
@@AzmiMaulanaHamdani Only true Christians who take their own lives will be let into heaven. Most people who have done it, have sadly not been let into heaven
@@skylar323 so what's the difference if I'm christian and taking my own live because I'm going to be in heaven anyway? What's the good thing living in this world if I'm saved by killing my self? It's getting absurd man can you answer that
A few months ago, I had Catholic friend of mine take his life. As this video states, it left me and countless others in immense grief. Since then, I had been extremely worried where he was going to end up. This video has been incredibly helpful in easing my worries, but also makes me have a solemn request for anyone who sees this: please pray for his salvation in the face of taking his own life.
Your friend is okay. They have gone home and all is well. Father loves us unconditionally and as a father he wants us to be happy. He knows all our struggles, he knows all our pain. Through the actions of Jesus Christ all are welcomed into heaven say it be those who actively fight against Father, those being the sons of perdition. I can assure you, your friend was not one of those. May peace find your heart and know that I speak the truth. God bless.
So youre endorsing suicide = as an easy gateway to heaven? If this is the case, all die hard christians should just commit mass suicide and wake up in heaven right?
If your friend believed the gospel, that Jesus Christ died for *all* his sins, He was buried and rose again the third day on his behalf, trusting in Jesus Christ alone to save him (not trusting in turning from all sins, etc or his own works of righteousness), then no matter what, your friend is in heaven, period. We are saved by grace through faith alone plus nothing, and the very moment we are saved, we are *sealed unto the day of redemption.*

*Eternal life is a FREE GIFT.*
Romans 5:15 KJB “But not as the offence, so also is the *free gift.* For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is *by one man,* *Jesus Christ,*hath abounded unto many.”

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time *Christ died for the ungodly.”*
*Jesus did it ALL and paid it ALL with His Blood, because we couldn’t without going to hell forever.

*THE GOSPEL* of *our salvation* is given to *us* specifically by *our* appointed *Apostle PAUL* in *1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB:*
15 Moreover, brethren, *I declare unto you the gospel* which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS* according to the scriptures;
4 And that *HE WAS BURIED* , and that *HE ROSE AGAIN* the third day according to the scriptures:
*THE SIMPLICITY OF SALVATION: BELIEVE (TRUST) THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED-SHEDDING HIS BLOOD AS THE PAYMENT FOR ALL YOUR SINS, HE WAS BURIED & ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY* on *YOUR behalf.* They very moment you *believe,* you will *receive* the *free gift* of salvation *instantly* and *irreversibly.*

God knows if he is in hell or heaven.. tough jesus follower dont kill himself or her self
i’m sorry i have no idea, i’ve always come to believe it’s a very firm answer that we can’t argue after death :( i’m very sorry for the loss of your friend
My younger brother committed self-deletion last year. I recently came back to God and repent, confessed my sins and i prayed that his soul is with Him.
I have a very close friend that I met online in 2021 and she sometimes told me that she has suicidal thoughts because she has some family problems. At that time, I was scared because I don't want to lose her so I tried to asked her to changed her mind because God has a purpose for her. Then after many years, I thank the Lord that she's still doing okay until now. I always told her to keep moving forward and don't lose hope because God will always guide her everyday. We've been online friends for almost three years and we promised that we will going to meet each other in real life in the future. I pray to God that she's doing okay.
Thank you for making this video because I realized that suicide is not the answer of every problems. I pray that God will shed the light of those people who went through the darkness of their life and always remember that God loves you everyday.
Jesus saved me when i was at my lowest point. The demons were fighting so hard for my soul not to end up in heaven and I'd think about suicide every day, but God was with me and i eventually found him which im so grateful for 😢❤
I lost a friend in highschool to suicide 😢. After seeing all the people at his funeral I was saddened that he didn't realize how many people loved him and will miss him. But I believe he's in heaven, because he saved me. I just thought about how many people my death would affect,and it made me stop. His death was ~35 years ago and I still remember everything about the day we learned about his passing. Now since I've become a reborn Christian if I feel darkness attacking me I call out to our Lord Jesus Christ and ask him to dispell the darkness and shield my mind so it won't return.
People will only care when you are dead... Why he didn't know people loved him when he was Alive? Fake people
He could have been forgiven only if he didn't know God
@@user-gx2wi6mj9kHey, you appear to be Catholic. Can I ask you a question? If someone were to unknowingly commit suicide without understanding that it is a grave sin and have limited knowledge of the Bible, can they still receive forgiveness?
@@FBI-iq4kp let me start off by saying that I'm a sinner who desperately needs deliverance myself. Now. A man can not unknowingly comment suicide but if that man has any knowledge of God, even through reading one scripture of God he has gained at least a little bit of knowledge once he understands what he read but with a 1% chance of forgiveness and mercy of God that man will rest through Jesus Christ and a man with no knowledge of God commits suicide... that man has a higher chance of being forgiven but I highly believe that God will show himself to a man with no knowledge of God. And once again. I'm not saved and delivered myself yet. I hope I answered your questions
@@FBI-iq4kp oh one more thing if there was no hell I would have ended my own life years ago but I know since I have knowledge and experiences from God I know that I would go straight to hell if I had murdered myself years ago
Lost my Brother to suicide August 25th, 2022. My Brother loved Jesus, so when my nephews ask if he's with Jesus, I answer yes. Doesn't make this not difficult to hold onto and trust in, through the damage it's left behind. If you're thinking about it, just know it's going to cause unbearable pain to those of us still here. Fight for your life, lest you pass your pain onto those you love and love you. It's more wirth it to struggle than to leave that with someone else. Jesus loves all of us, keep the faith.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll keep you, your family and your brother in my prayers.
God bless.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
there is 1 thing missing in the list of things that will not separate us from the love of God: SIN. "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom. 8:38, 39
“Things present” is everything that currently exists and sin is still present
@@Mr.K316 were you freed from sin or freed to sin? did you experience this the day you got saved? "Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin....So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:34, 36
"And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness...But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, your fruit leads to holiness, and the end, eternal life." Rom. 6:18, 22
"looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." Titus 2:13, 14
You can separate yourself from the love of God and many have.
@@HOOSIERDADDY24 Amen, brother. you are correct. salvation is conditional. "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons," 1 Tim. 4:1
"Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end," Heb. 3:12-14
4:54 however the only person who truly knows whether or not you're saved... Is God.
Plus if suicide wansn't a sin then the enemy wouldn't encourage people to do so.
💯
agreed.
Hell is real, if God didn't spare the angels how much we, humans.
Let's be real.
99 percent taking life is not going to be peaceful in eternity.
Suicide is wrong if you are true Christian you do not commit suicide you're taking your own life satan is a enemy of God Jesus is going to destroy Satan suicide is not the answer Jesus give you life satan want to destroy U trust in Jesus Christ he loves you
" if suicide wasn't a sin then the enemy wouldn't encourage people to do so."
Great input. An obvious point of view, that I never saw in that light.
The enemy is in the sin business, but Jesus is in the forgiveness business.
Thank you, for this video. I’ve been a Christian my whole life, saved and baptized… but have endured a series of traumatic events all through out my life (I’m 27) that had weighed so heavily on me that I felt extreme hopelessness and made several attempts on my life and developed an addiction to SH.. by the Grace of God I am still here.. 2 years ago I joined a faith-based recovery program and God really worked on my heart. It’s been nearly a year and a half since I last gave in to SH and longer since my last attempt… I may have scars covering my body, but I know God has a greater plan for me and I can use my story as a testimony of God’s Grace and love and kindness and compassion.
im thankful youre still here. praise God
What kind of trauma
You don't need God you need professional mental health counseling. Good luck.
@@19and23areCodedid you watch the entire video? He said that we shouldn’t abuse Gods grace for us and that if we are doing so without remorse for our sins we probably aren’t true believers as it is.
@@19and23areCode It’s a little difficult to understand exactly your point of view through a comment with just text, but I think what you’re saying is basically what I meant, that we are not supposed to continue in sin. People make mistakes but willingly living in sin is different then messing up once in a while. That also doesn’t mean to use “messing up once in a while” as an excuse to sin. Hebrews 10:23 says “if we continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins” and yeah 1 John 3 says similar things as well. Ephesians 2:8-9 says we are not saved by our own works but by grace through faith, we did not receive salvation through our works, it was a gift, but it’s also out of respect and obedience that we continue to not sin, because God hates sin and can’t be around it. If we did continue to live in sin, we’d be doing an injustice to the one that endured so much for us (Jesus). Imagine going through so much only for us to continue to live in sin. Besides that, if we are truly Christians, aka literally followers of Christ, we will try to be more Christ like every day (and the Holy Spirit will help us with that) while also not being perfect, if we were perfect, we wouldn’t have needed Jesus.
you never know the thoughts & intents of the heart in someone else's mind, smile on their face..but devastation on the inside, if you've never been there, you cant say..oh, they're wrong
My son committed suicide. His diagnosis from Stanford Hospital was schizo-affective disorder, which means that he would drift into schizophrenia frequently. At the end, he heard them all the time. Ten months after his death I heard him say ‘Mom’ telepathically. No message. Just ‘Mom’. I made a note on my calendar. Some time elapsed before I realized that that was the date of my father’s 105th birthday. Shortly before he died, he told me that he really missed ‘grandaddy’ - my father. I am so looking forward to joining him and the rest of my family when it’s my time. But not before my time.
Very well presented video, thank you.
I am almost 64, and started feeling depressed at age 8, and suicidal by age 11. I was undiagnosed until age 31, and have been on and off prozac and other meds for 25+ years. I have been a born again Christian since I was 31 also. I still get attacked every 2-3 years by thoughts of suicide, but have become better and getting help when it hits and starting to fight back by prayer to God to stop the thoughts and attacks. It isn't easy, but I am still here and loving my life!
I trust in the Lord Jesus Christ's Saving Gospel. The Saving Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is that he died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the 3rd day, by which we are saved, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4kjv.
Praise God. I have been suicidal before. I told God to let me just die when I was 20. At work a piece of sharp steel went right thru my left calf. The artery was cut in two. I almost bled out. After that, I didn't want to die.
Does Prozac work?
Thank God for modern medicine, right?
Antidepressants is sin to God only God can heal you, have you seeked the Lord
Your life is a precious gift. NEVER THROW IT AWAY. No matter how dark things get, there is always something or someone worth living for, I promise you!

That’s why it’s hard for me to believe a true believer would ever commit suicide. I would have at one point in my life if I had not had the true Source of strength to turn to each day until the worst of my trauma had passed. And it took years. We have someone we can turn to and not give the devil satisfaction. Saturate your day with scripture, prayer and praise music. I put encouraging scripture on sticky notes all over my apartment, everywhere I looked. It was plastered. I wrote out my pain to the Lord in a notebook and cried out to him to take my pain away and help me. I had worship songs playing to help me focus on God. Focus is so important.
@Dustandfuzz not really you can be tempted to do it even though you're a christian, this word is so stressful.
“Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?”“If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and that is what you are.”
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 CSB
Explain
@@thatoneguy1299 directly quoting the Bible
@@thatoneguy1299 , anyone who kills themselves goes to hell
@@aizn928 Thats depends on your interpretation of "destroy him" and your interpretation of what "destroying the temple" is in this context.
Note that such an interpretation here would extend not just to suicide but also poor diet/ exercise habits.
The context of this passage is about not building your beliefs and theology around human leaders and specific teachers. I personally would find an interpretation around "destroying the temple" as destroying the gospel focus of my life by over emphasizing a specific leader, not as suicide.
I will always remember my teacher who simply dismissed the question with "true Christians will not commit suicide"
This is why, as Paul said, not many should aim to be teachers..
If your reading this, it’s okay to not be okay but just know God will always love you
I had a friend who intentionally overdosed on drugs. She was depressed after her infant son 's tragic death a year earlier. She did accept Jesus about a month before her death. She seemed ti getting better after her salvation, so her death shocked all of us. Before this, I had always believed that suicide was a one way ticket to Hell and even told her that. However, on the day if her official passing I had a vision and was caught up to Heaven. I saw her in Heaven and she was holding her infant son in her arms. She said, "Don't be sad for me, be happy for me, because I'm happy." She then said to me, "Thank you for always being there for me and thank you for never giving up on me." I said to her, "When I'm ready to come home, you and Gage (her infant son) better be there ready to greet me!" She leaned in closer and said, "I will". Her parting words to me were, "Help Steven." (the father of their other 3 children). Then the vision ended.
Infants don’t exist in Heaven. What purpose is an infant in heaven? A helpless baby that does not grow? That seems unfair, doesn’t it? It’s selfish thinking that a mother who lost their small child will see that person again as a small child. Selfish because the parent wants that child the same human size they had on earth. That’s not fair for the soul that is that child, to have a helpless eternal body.
@@AnotherKid23it’s a vision bro. The child is obviously not going to be a helpless baby forever in heaven. Visions are visions. They’re symbolic.
@AGGSab So what was the symbolism for all the rest of the vision?
@@danielortega9943 it speaks for itself. The vision is literally just giving this person closure. The person had previously believed suicide was an instant ticket to hell and if someone close to someone with this mindset committed suicide they would be immensely distraught. The vision proved them wrong and gave the closure on the matter. Whether the vision actually happened or not does not matter. The vision served its purpose.
Wow!!!!
Ive lost my trucking Job due to overwhelming anxiety and stress after five years. Ive struggled with finances and my mental being. I felt really deatached from reality because i would get frequent panic attacks. I would pray to God most of the time to motivate me and make me stronger. Here i am 7 months from now i do feel better and i am able to work again. God is my savior. I love him because he was there when noone was there.
to destress; avoid coffee, alcohol, drugs. sugar and wheat can alter your psyche so you can get your starch from rice or potatoes, sweet content from honey or stevia. you can take magnesium (300mg) before bedtime and niacin (nonflush variety) 2 of the 500 mg capsules before bedtime or 1 during daytime stress. these helps work wonders!!
Thank you for this video. I am struggling myself with SI. The testimonies of all these people in the comments means a lot too. Thank you and please pray to the lord to lay upon me his grace.
Suicide should never be justified under any faith circumstance. Suicide is a sin against the owner of the temple, the Holy Spirit that indwells.
This is so good to know.
About eight years ago my brother committed suicide.
He was such a good man a loving man a loving father a good husband.
However he was going through a lot very private so didn't discuss it with anyone.
It was a shock to us when we found out what he did.
It's good to know that a person doesn't go to 🔥 for having mental illness.
I have been asking and praying to God to forgive my brother.
So again this is so good to know❤
Sorry to say sister but your brother went to hell directly..but u can still go to heaven by following Jesus christ ,not the one who preaches in your church,u have to analys it for yourself,....so sister don't believe anyone before you yourself analysis things from bible.not the person...
@@TheOneNonlyMe that is very heart breaking actually, but you're right. This video does not and not capable to tell the truth about it. It is harsh but the Bible does not teach that a person who committed suicide can still go to heaven.
I watched this testimony from UA-cam before, the lady shared her son having mental illness too and chose to suicide and they are Christian, the mother was so upset but God gave her a vision to show her that her son is with God, i think suicide due to mental illness was something exceptional? Well, only God will know what happened to a person what he/she is facing...... , if you are willing, continue to pray for your brother's soul, may God have mercy....❤
he is stupid for suicide. that means he isnt commited in christianity
@@lamkw6329 brother I don't know which testimony that you have watched, but tell them and you also be clear that ,being a christain does not mean you can go to heaven, Mathew 7:21-23. And don't you know that mental illness itself come from devil. Why? Because u r not close to God,u do not follow the step of christ, and when you see yourself away from God, that's where devil use you to do such thing which is the biggest crime in the eyes of God.. mental illness was only the one step of devil to make his plan successful. ie to kill yourself. Revelation 21:8..and abt that vision that she is talking abt,,if the vision resemble the god words then only it is from God,if not then it is from devil

This year has been extremely hard for me. I had never struggled with my mental health like I have this year, it was terrifying that I felt I was not in control. I knew I wanted to live a life by God’s word but I felt attacked and in a deep hole. The only reason I am still here is because I told God that I needed His help or I would perish, and then I kind of let go. I pray for everyone out there struggling with these issues, I hope that soon we can all be okay
I feel that but life gets better
Life doesn't necessarily get better but He is the deliverer. It was a demonic spirit urging me to suicide several times over the years. I cried out to God and he answered. He can and will help if you trust in his counsel. Your mission is for the kingdom, not man's opinion of you or how much you aquire.
This year has been the worst for me and alot of people
@@andymac1764 The devil is working hard but we got to praise the Lord harder because He is the King
Thank you, i hear you. That deeply attacking feel is so bad.
God saved me, when things were going dark, he brought he into the light
The enemy knew that one day my testimony would be so powerful that it can turn hearts to Jesus. I had accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior but no one walked with me. So from a young age I struggled in my faith and was very depressed during my teen years. Now at 55 Holy Spirit showed me the truth. He has preserved my life from many attempts in the past to testify in this hour. I was broken. I was lost. But Holy Spirit broke through it all last year and brought me back to Jesus. Now my testimony through thick and thin is being used to bring others to the love of Jesus Christ ✝️
It's obvious why it's asked. And it depends on the context... Accidental suicide or causing your own end to save someone else's life or dying in a war or similar circumstances can be permissible depending on the context. However, ending yourself because you don't want to live anymore isn't going to take you to Heaven. That's the sad truth. People need to understand the seriousness of such an act.
Agree !!

I talked to school counselors, i even told friends, other than the counselors the friends i told how i was feeling they said they don’t believe me, until it gets to the point where i actually take my own life they’ll believe me, I prayed every night so God can remove my depression and fill my mind with joy, now i’m free from depression, I wouldn’t say I’m really happy but I’m no longer upset 24/7 and the depression is gone so I thank God for that.
im thankful youre alive
Never stop praying...just like how God has saved me and gave me a new strong mind....you can be strong too but you also need to know that there are demons behind every depressions pulling the strings....renounce the devil and resist him n he will flee from you...

@@the.seagull.35 The last suicidal thought was sometime ago in 2022
Trust me you will hurt so many people, you cannot clearly see things when you’re depressed. Suicide doesn’t end the pain it just passed it on to others
My baby brother killed himself 4 days ago, he was suffering from mental illness drug addiction and extreme depression, he was homeless and starving to death, he couldn't bare the pain anymore and shot himself in the head. I keep praying and begging god to forgive him and have mercy on his soul and not allow him anymore suffering 😢
Your brother died from his illness. He is free from it now. God would never punish someone for dying from their illness. Your brother's illness was mental. I'm so sorry for your very tragic loss. May your brother rest in peace.
@edie4321 thank you brother 😢

THE BIGGEST LIE FROM SATAN-- TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND THINK YOU WILL STILL GO TO HEAVEN ! 100% A DOCTRINE FROM HELL.
You know, despite not even knowing as much about scripture back when my father lost his life to the enemy, I still believed he went to heaven and that alone was enough to change me and dig even deeper into my faith and how I can bring awareness to such a thing to other people.
Just keep your faith in God! No matter what anyone else has to say! God has the last say in everything! Amen God bless youu🥰

0:50 “Thou shall not murder” that also means don’t murder yourself
Jesus ensured Grace is above the Law.
James says that if you’ve broken one covenant, you’ve broke them all. Since no sin is greater than another it’s no different if you feel anger in your heart towards someone and die in a car accident…No sin outdoes Christ’s blood
@@MrHumpah12 Yes, also 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God'
We are all sinners. enuf said.
But we're NOT saved by works or keeping commandments. Otherwise, Jesus died for nothing.
There is no such thing called self murder. Murder always involves taking the life of someone outside of yourself.
A single moment of despair does not compile a life time of faith.
It depends on the circumstances. God's mercy is infinite, but so is his justice.
Man. That part, "Trust God with our souls" 🙏🏾
I had NDE/RAPTURE type of experience years ago and stood before "THE LIGHT" and it was confirmed for me that we can not loose our salvation. Father made it "VERY CLEAR" to me that there is NOTHING I can do to loose His love.😉🙏
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin. So no one, no Christian, can remain saved if they commit that particular sin. Rest assured that many will say to Jesus that they have done all these things in his name and he will reply that he does not know them.
The age of prophets are long past. NDEs and visions are all new age, occultic, and demonic. Do not be deceived.

Doesn't that show just how awesome God is? He not only once but several times has reassured you that your son is in heaven. He's there, and will be there waiting for when it's your time. The best thing about this is, you'll never be separated again, there will be no more sickness, suffering, anger, depression, etc. That's always helped me when over the years I've lost loved ones. Praise Jesus, he loves us more than we can even fathom. You will see your son again ❤
Always always always remember that Jesus has a purpose for you and your life. No matter how dark it gets he is with you, he is for you, and your suffering will not go unrewarded in this life of the next. Just to keep going is glorifying God and what you do in this suffering during this wether it’s wake up in the morning or reading his word or going to church on Sunday morning or helping in ministry, he is cheering you on and heaven is celebrating.

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."
John 9:1-3 ☀️✝️
As someone who has fought depression most of his adult life, I truly enjoyed watching this. I am a believer, and I fight the thought of suicide several times a year. I've attempted it in the past and have what I think is an amazing story about it. And because of that failed attempt I promised God I'd never do it again. But that doesn't mean I don't think about it from time to time.
This made me feel better. Here’s to hoping I see my dad again one day. Knowing he’s maybe in a better place give me peace.
This story has the best ending and a beautiful beginning. All my life, I've gone through physical and mental torture from my parents and all of the stepmoms I've had. On my 18th birthday, my father and his at the time wife had taken me to their church for marriage counseling. There was a girl 1 year younger than me who was fond of me. She followed me around wherever I went around the church. I never asked her to. My stepbitch ended up telling the whole church that I had pedophilic feelings towards her. This is the day I became an adult. My dad didn't even try to help, so I moved to New York to live with my mother. Even there, I still had nobody to turn to for help with bullies, abuse, etc. After 5 months of surviving, I found myself at the ledge of a bridge with a 120-foot drop into shallow waters at midnight. I saw a set of headlights approaching and started slowly leaning forward. I heard the opening of a car door and not even a second after that I was yanked back onto the bridge by my teary-eyed father whom I thought was still in Missouri. 3 years later, I'm happily married, with a son on the way.. 'Niko Alan Wolfe.' Take it from me. You have so much to live for!
Wow if that's true thats an incredible story. God saved your life that night, without any doubt. That was the heavenly Father who knew you would be there that night, and arranged for your own dad to be there too. Think of the pre-planning that went into that miracle from God. He had to set so many things in motion, far in advance, to make that happen for you. Jesus truly is a wonderful King and all-powerful Savior... this story shows me just how much Jesus loves you. He even went further than this for you. He gave his life to forgive your sins. He rose to give you the hope of eternal life, if you put your faith in him. I think he's earned your faith. ❤✝️
"You have so much to live for" not unless we're all blessed like you were. Not everyone will be blessed with a family. God doesn't treat everyone fairly here on earth. Sometimes there's nothing to look forward to in this life, nothing but suffering and pain until we've endured until the end.

I just cannot get myself to go back in again. I can't meet new people or make friends, at least in person. God is telling me that church and family are good things. I just can't do it.

Sorry to hear that, lost my elder sis 13 yrs ago, but one thing those who take away their life is because Nobody/families listens to them. They're tired 😢and they chose that as away to rest from their families. I think they also want to take revenge on those toxic/controlling/ abusive families and/or whoever they deal with. That revenge is to make them suffer for the rest of their life through guilt/shame/self-blame " I/We wish.... regret. Those families will never be happy again when someone is missing from the table. Yea it's painful.
I remember the devil used to constantly lie to me saying that if I killed myself I would come back as a better person on earth, and be able to start over again, and be able to not make the same mistakes as I did last time. I no longer believe in that anymore, and I now want to strengthen my relationship, and obedience to the Lord, and God.
A true believer in Christ, giving up on life because of seemingly insurmountable odds such as addiction, loss, broken heartedness, etc...they're salvation isnt cancelled by any means.
I had been struggling with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, and I have never struggled with my mental health like I have the past few months, I had thoughts of loneliness, depression, or being a failure in life. But one day my friend invited me to go to church with him and I agreed. When I went there, something in the atmosphere felt different. Everyone was nice, my friends were there, people were talking and laughing, there was no sign of pain or suffering. We had a pastor, and one thing he said stuck out to me the most. “The air you’re breathing is a gift, Your eyesight is a gift, and your life is a gift” it gave me a new perspective on life. I realized, hating life is not something to hate, because everyday is a blessing. To live is a blessing. To laugh is a blessing. And the thing is, if you really have faith in god and you have salvation, that doesn’t mean commit suicide. It causes so much more pain and suffering for those who knew you and loved you. I want to have a closer relationship with god and this channel is helping me. Jesus loves you. Have a blessed day/night
Wow.... So inspiring. Thank you so much
I'm autistic, so my anxiety is usually elevated. I'm glad you found relief ⛪️
I was not looking for a video about this topic. It just showed up. I very recently know someone that committed suicide, the person accepted Christ but was battling drug use. I believe he fall to the addiction one last time and in the end did what he did. This video is helping me to process it all. Thank you and thank God for showing/leading me to this video.
Your friend make it to heaven. His sins are forgiven. Christ bore our sins on the cross.
He is our bridge, our way back to God (heaven).
@@benstr8156 I am confused. He died of our sins in the past right? The sin of Adam and Eve eating the fruit and the sins of the people in ancient times when He lived who were sinners. But just because He wiped that clean, we cannot continue to sin, He gave us a second chance to prove ourselves.
(This isn't about op's comment, I pray that their friend is in heaven)
@@VoVina111 John 1:29 ..Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Note: the sin of the world
"we cannot continue to sin" - the flesh is weak. We will continue to sin.
Thank you for sharing on this tragic and difficult topic, with a balance of empathy, firmness and carefronting.l ❤🙏
I'm a firm believer that it honestly depends on the person, their mental and emotional state at the time, their age, as well as their heart. God is a very compassionate and understanding God. Killing someone isn't the same as taking your own life. That's like people saying if I teenager dies, is murdered, and they haven't been saved that they're going to hell. That is so not true. And I wish folks would stop saying this person or that person went to hell after dying. We don't know what happened in the final moments before they drew their last breath.
My son a believer since he was 10 took his own life and I've been hearing that he's in hell from ou pentecostal congregation and relatives and many many other videos on u tube and this video very well explained took my pain away😢😢😢... I know my son a 24 yr.old last year.... I lost him but I never lost faith in GOD.... 🙏... blessings....
Thank you for sharing loved one, God be with you and strengthen you and bless you in all your ways in Jesus name!
@@abrahamemmanuel2401 thanks... God is good and his mercy endures for ever. 🙏🙏🙏
@@eking-kesterwho the hell are you to make the judgement?
I’d stick with what the word says before I stick with what UA-cam says about eternity.
@@Stnzbstread the Bible… you’ll see..
I’ve been dealing with suicidal depression since I was 7 years old. I’m now 30. That’s 27 years of fighting and collapsing under the weight of these thoughts and feelings. I have a wife, and 2 handsome boys who love me, yet there are still days when I wake up and wonder why I’m still here. It’s only been in the last 2 years that I’ve actually sought out help, and received it. About 2 years ago, I was going through a lot, and I was at work one day on the side of the road, and all I kept thinking was “It would make things so much easier, if I just walked right into traffic. The boys, and everybody else would be so much better off without me. I don’t have the resources or the heart to just run away and start over, so I might as well end it.” I’m glad that I didn’t. I’ve received so many incredible blessings since that day. There have still been unfaceable hardships, but there have been more incredible miracles that can only be God’s Grace. I understand how taboo asking for help with this is, especially as a black man. But we can’t fight this battle alone, and we can’t fight in silence any longer. So to anyone who is reading this comment right now, If you, or someone you know is struggling with this monster that is suicidal depression, please, I implore you with all of my heart, go get help. Your family and your friends need you. And even more than that, you have so many wonderful things to look forward to. “Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning “. God bless you. I love you, and I’m so proud of you for still being here
What kind of things do people have to look forward to? Thanks!
@@stacym5135 I've asked that question so many times, myself. But you gotta realize that each day you wake up is a new opportunity to set the record straight... A new chance to SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!!!! Nevermind how people are going to interpret what you say. If they get mad, remember, you're not responsible for their feelings or for their interpretations. The only way to heal your mind is to speak your truth
@@jamalbrown2770I'm struggling now. Thank you for your testimony.
@@djenkins555 Of course. I'll be praying for you. Be blessed, and know that you are loved ❤️
@@jamalbrown2770 thank you, Jamal. Back at ya.
One of my favorite verses on the topic is:
“But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.”
Philippians 1:22-26 NKJV
Fucking great so not only is living life an absolute hell but the ONE THING that can END this pain is forbidden there’s no fucking escape fucking great
“Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bare, oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bare.
All because we do not carry everything to God in Prayer”
If you want peace allow God to abide in you, and let Him win the battle for your heart
And once you know He has you, you may feel differently
World is gazing you with indifferent eyes.
The dearest people turn away from you.
To strong to die, to weak to live.
And God...
And God will send you to hell for this.
FOREVER AND EVER
Keep going. Jesus real or not doesn't want to you to go to the afterlife early
I'm with you. I'm disappointed everytime I wake up.
@@DiamondWorldUA-cam he is real.
I've been to the funerals of two young men who ended their lives.😢 Two good and talented men. So unexpected. You can talk to a person and never know what they're going through.
I wanted to leave a message here, as a survivor of trying to take away my life, there's always a chance to survive and be hurt. But there's always a 100% chance to hurt those you were close with. Especially those who know you. People can be touched by how you treat them. And it's good and bad depending on the circumstances. Even a small amount of time being in someone's life can mean a lot to someone. I hope anyone out there who struggled like I did will find their way like I did. As it wasn't my time to go. And I am glad to have been given a second chance.
A vrc furry haiiii😊
I made a promise to Grandma and God that I would refrain from such thoughts. After her death, I been going threw this wold broken hearted and numb. I keep striving forward, and I think that what counts. This video like one other very enlightening
If we willing persist in sin, After have receiving full knowledge of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice
I always pondered that question. I struggled with suicidal thoughts since I was a young child and it got worse and worse as I got older. Even after being saved I still struggled and even planned my suicide. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of how sad my loved ones would be. I started a program with my husband at out church called ALPHA. I was uninterested but through the course I truly opened up for the first time. I also began seeking God, fasting and doing whatever I could to build my relationship with God. At the end of the course I realized that my suicidal thoughts were gone and for the first time ever I was truly happy. It's been a roller-coaster ride trying to figure out who I am now but I would never trade anything for what God did for me. All I can say is please don't give up. It's hard and unbearable at times but it will be worth it when you finally make it through. God 🙌
If you are living with toxic families walk away/😢 you are more important than anyone.
I am sorry you had to deal with those thoughts as a child. I had wondered about it to as i was also suicidal.
THE BIGGEST LIE FROM SATAN-- TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND THINK YOU WILL STILL GO TO HEAVEN ! 100% A DOCTRINE FROM HELL.
Hearing all of y’all’s stories in the comments makes me tear up. Thank you all for being open to sharing. 😢
Only God can really separate us from how strong each of our faithfulness really is.
Really Love how he drew it all out and took the time to create something for those struggling in life
Suicide is a sin. Anything that separates you from the love of God is a sin, this being suicide because you chose not to trust in God and didn't believe in him,therefore being separated from his grace. If you believed in him, you would know that he has overcome all,including every trial and problem in your life. Fellow believers stand firm in God and lean not on your own understanding.
To those who want to add their own context to what I said, I would like to first put out that I meant exactly what I said.Repentance and striving to live a holy life is what is important. Yes, we are sinners and that's why asking for God's mercy is important. If you tell me that just by faith alone we are guaranteed to go to heaven,you are sadly mistaken. Faith without action is dead.As believers we first believe in Christ along side repentance and pledging our lives to God,where we are called to live in righteousness.Everyday we are alive this opportunity remains as we can work towards our salvation in him. If you die not only do you sin against the temple of the holy spirit,but in doing so cut off the grace that was given to you,it being life.The dead cannot repent.I would like to give an example.
There once were two men who were loyal ministers of God.They loved God immensely and strived to preach the Gospel to whoever hadn't received it. One day while still in the ministry,they were captured by people who didn't believe in God and were threatened with their lives.They were asked to deny God or face death and were told that if they denied God,they would not die.One of them refused but praised God even more,ultimately,being killed.The other being fearful, asked if they would let him go if he denied God.The people promised to do so,and so he did.He denied God but was killed immediately after.One went to heaven and the other hell. This comes to show,you might live in holiness your entire life but end up in hell because of what you did before death.The same as a sinner repenting and giving their lives to God before death. Walk in accordance to what the holy spirit says and you will live a life pleasing to God. The holy spirit comforts,guides and convicts remember that and trust in him. Praise be to God.Amen.
🙏
Salvation in faith alone.
Facts i don't agree with point 3 that you can commit suicide and go to Heaven under any conditions. The truth can harsh, but it's still the truth
Suicide ( murder ) is it the unforgivable sin?🤔
AMEN!
@@lawrenzo_12 no this is not the unforgivable sin. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is. This is written in the scriptures. Be sure to read.
God loves you
Holy spirit loves you
Jesus loves you
The Blessed Virgin Mary loves you
27 May 2024 I was Alerted to my Brother in Jesus, that he was MIA. So I went and looked for him. And by the Grace of God found him just in time. He tried and failed to commit suicide. And Many were shocked and hurt at his selfish action but Hope Remains while those who Love him are still around-most Importand-Jesus through the Holy Spirit. He is Better. But has a Long road ahead of him. But Jesus is Walking right beside him-he is never alone.
Please Pray that he finds Peace and Love in Jesus again.
Thank you.
You present The Gospel in a really beautiful way
My younger brother took his life 12 years ago. My last real conversation I had with him lasted for over 3 hours and in that time, I had the honor to share with him the Gospel and prayed with him a prayer of repentance. He said at the time that he didn't know if he truly meant it or not and that was because he had a lot of demonic activity against him. At the end of his life, we found he had a lot of journal entries that had talk about GOD and Jesus that all started after our conversation, he also had started reading a book on his own about starting your new walk with GOD and he ended his final note saying that he know what he was doing was wrong but he hoped that GOD would forgive him so he didn't have to spend eternity in hell.
He isn't in Hell. Hell is a human concept. The after life is more complex than the dichotomy of Heaven and Hell.
@@ensignmjs7058 Just curious: where did you hear that?
I really needed to hear this as I have been feeling miserable and have considered suicide, but got help from not only my parents but also our lord.
GOD LOVES YOU !! Ill pray over you please hang on tight ! The DEVIL is a lair , please continue to pray !! I love you 💗
Don't give up...
i have been through so much grief and even today I'm still going through grief ...... I have lies told about me and still i hold on because I'm extremely religious, i
Christ said all sin can be forgiven, except the unpardonable sin, and suicide is certainly not it! A lot of seniors commit suicide because life can become totally unbearable, and hard to bear anymore! I’m sure God understands !sometimes this old age is pure torture!
I know a friend of mine who had a girlfriend. She committed suicide last year due to a family member not accepting her boyfriend because of the color of his skin, she was white, he is black. It went on for so long that it drove her to take her own life. I might not have known them personally, but I had a helping hand that got them together. It was devastating when I got the news, but I know it hurt my friend the hardest since he and her really loved each other.
Please pray for my birth mom to come to know God and come back to the family and for judgements to stay away from her. Thank you. Please pray this prayer every day.
according to the video does that mean its okay di suicide?? lol
No
@@DanielleOlsen-ng8ox why? He said people who has faith and go suicide he can go to heaven?
“This sin does not and cannot take away there salvation” All I needed to know
God is closest to those in their darkest moments.
It’s never over folks, 1 month, 1 day, 10 years, time heals all. And God is a patient one. You should be a patient follower. For that demonstrates faith in God, and His plan for you.
You are loved. You are not forgotten. Be strong and hold onto your faith and you WILL make it thru. You WILL feel peace.
