19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, ~ Deuteronomy 30:19
Today within the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States isn’t a virus, gun violence, or police brutality, but suicide has sadly made the cut. Suicide has skyrocketed in our society. It’s a growing pandemic that we can’t seem to get a handle on. The Spirit of Suicide preys on and claims victims of all ages, from elementary school children to grown adults in their late 40s and 50s. The further we push our society into darkness, the more rampant darkness will become. The more hopelessness, fear, anxiety, depression, and rejection will abound, all of which the Spirit of Suicide feeds off of.
So, then is there no hope? As long as hearts are beating, there is always hope. For the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The darkness cannot be overcome unless we first shine light into that darkness. The light is the love of Jesus. We share this light by sharing the Truth. This is the only combat against the raging pandemic of suicide. There can be no light without Truth. The Truth is that there is a pandemic of suicide. There can be no light without Truth. The Truth is that God loves each of His creations. The Truth is that all who humble themselves before Christ will receive His shalom peace that passes all understanding.
The Truth is that suicide is a sin that leads to death, and without believing that Truth, I would’ve died many years ago. If suicide leads to peace with God, why would we stop anyone from committing suicide? Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. There is only peace found in Christ Jesus, not in taking the life He paid for on the cross with His own blood. If we aren’t our own, then would it not stand to reason that Christ would redeem and save all His people who call upon His name from their trials and tribulations, especially when He purchased peace for us by going through unthinkable chastisement?
Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. There is love in Christ. There is redemption in Christ. There is freedom from all oppression in Christ. There is peace that passes all understanding in Christ Jesus.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Believe Only The Truth.
