Enemy's plan to kill, steal and destroy
John 10:9-10 CSB
I am the gate. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. [10] A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
Jesus clearly tells us what the goal, plans and mission is of the devil.
This death wish includes suicide no doubt. If the devil can convince you that you are without hope, and pours on the negative, and isolates you, and beats you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, all your realities, then lies to you telling you how you should just end it all, no one cares, they are all lying to you, then he's luring you in his web and ready to strike you.
He attacks using lies that sound like the truth.
He uses even God's own people against you as was done before.
He uses all skeptical unbelief
He uses all the tricks
He uses forbidden knowledge
He uses forbidden fruit
He uses rules of lawlessness
He uses everything and anything to outsmart you.
What is the answer?
What did Jesus say?
How did Jesus phrase it?
What do you read from the Bible?
What do you understand about God?
Do you think "God doesn't love me" ?
If so, then you have been under demonic attack and also need to know.
What can a sick person do?
Go to a Doctor, ask someone to take you to the doctor
The doctor will treat and provide medical support and the Lord is the doctor. The Lord is also there.
Jesus is the Lord.
If you struggle to accept this? Why?
Jesus loves you.
If you struggle to accept this? Why?
Jesus died for you. If you do not believe this? Why?
Jesus rose again. If you struggle to believe this? Why?
The reason why we don't trust God is because we trust "another" this "other" is who? Yourself?
You trust in yourself? Why?
If you say, "No, no I trust in Jesus, but I still have suicidal ideations"
Why? Tell God you do, Tell God exactly what you are thinking
Do you think God will not deliver you?
Do you think God made you this way?
Do you think "I'm always like this so there is no hope"
Why?
You must master it.
How?
You learn the truth and ask God for the Holy Spirit
You examine your heart, beliefs, and thoughts, and the meanings you believe about these thoughts, and you find out what the Bible says about these matters
Then when you find out what you learn from doing your own bible reading and praying, you make God first in all things in your life.
You don't make God first in your own efforts and you don't use God's grace as a license to keep on sinning, making excuses or something else.
This is the essence of Matthew 6:33
Seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all of these things shall be added into you
All of these things includes forgiving others who hurt you. You say your a Christian but do you hold resentments towards anyone? The Bible says if we have hatred inside our hearts then we are murderurs. Do you hate God? Or hate God's Word? Do you resent others? Why?
Did you not know that unless you forgive your brother from your heart that God will deliver you over to the torment?
Matthew 18:34-35 CSB
And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he could pay everything that was owed. [35] So also my heavenly Father will do to you unless every one of you forgives his brother or sister from your heart."
Matthew 6:14-15 CSB
"For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well. [15] But if you don't forgive others, your Father will not forgive your offenses.
If you know the scriptures and the will of God about forgiving someone and you still hold a grudge, still hate them, how can you say you are being obedient? How can we be blind to this especially when God says we will be handed over to tormentors.
Jesus is telling in two places the God will not forgive you if you don't forgive them.
If God died for you, and forgives you and you experience the grace of God for your life, and someone owes you a debt and you decide to hold a grudge and hate them, not forgiving them and you know all of these scriptures then it becomes clear what we should do.
Here is what we should do.
Proverbs 28:13 CSB
The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.
James 5:16 CSB
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.
We forgive because Christ has forgiven us.
Did we truly believe Jesus Christ has died for me, has forgiven me?
If you don't then admit it and repent and believe.
If you have repented and believed them you have personally experienced this love of God in your heart then you know it's right to forgive others because it is the will of God and also healing for yourself.
But if you decide to ignore the teachings of Jesus, and think that "this person owes me" and "I suffer with depression and suicide" and you have read and understood the gospel yet still want to hold a grudge and keep in hatred then expect God to do what He already said He said and God will deliver us up to tormentors but it will not be God's fault but this is our own fault because we knew what to do and knew the gospel and still "demanded others to pay us back" and rejected and rebelled against God's commands.
Do not think God will allow evil in others
Do not think God will allow evil in ourself.
God will get Glory either way.
We have been gently and lovingly warned by Jesus in Matthew 6 and 18.
