Suicide is the Devil's Solution

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” -2nd Corinthians 7:10

If you have thoughts of suicide, it is likely a demonic influence (TV, movies and music today are saturated with subliminal messages and often the lyrics themselves, which lead the listener to commit suicide). One teen who commit suicide still head the walkman headphones on his head, listening to Ozzy Osbourne's song, SUICIDE! Most people are strong enough emotionally to listen to such evil music and escape it's power, but emotionally weak and mentally unstable people are vulnerable. Everyone is emotionally and mentally weakened at some point in their life.

Peter had denied Christ, even cursed His holy name. Later, when Peter heard the cock crow three times, he remember that Jesus had foretold of these things. Peter wept bitterly and repented. Judas on the other hand had betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (about $10,000 today). Judas panicked when he fully thought about what he had done.
Instead of repenting like Peter, Judas went and hung himself. Peter and Judas demonstrate the correct and wrong way to deal with overwhelming pain, whether it be physical or emotional. Peter did the right thing by turning to God; but Judas killed himself to escape the emotional pain, just to end up in Hell. Jesus openly stated in John 6:70 that Judas was a Devil.

Peter had godly sorrow, but Judas had the sorrow of the world. The sorrow of the world eats at a person like cancer until they lose their health, go nuts, blow their brains out, or hurt someone else. Godly sorrow is simply being sorry to God for what we have done and asking Jesus to forgive us. There's always a second chance with God. I don't care how much you've messed up, God will work with you. The hardest person in the world to forgive is yourself.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” —Isaiah 1:18

If you have reconciled your wrongs with man, and have made your heart right with God, then you need to forgive yourself. You cannot be right with God and wrong with man. If you have defrauded or hurt someone, then make it right. In some cases there's nothing you can do. A woman who aborted her baby years ago cannot bring the child back. All she can do is beg for God's forgiveness (and the father if he didn't want the child aborted). But if you've done all you can do to right your wrongs, then you should have peace in your soul. God will forgive anyone!

There are many situations in life which can cause a person to feel overwhelmed to the point of wanting to commit suicide (the death of a loved one, being arrested and imprisoned, a spouse leaving, getting caught doing wrong, peer pressure, teenage pressures, etc.). In Judas' case it was guilt, his evil was exposed and he was overwhelmed with guilt. Judas could have been forgiven, but he instead foolishly hung himself. There is always a right way and a wrong way to deal with anything.

Just lay everything out on the table before God in prayer. He promises to forgive you and to help you get your life together. You don't need to feel overwhelmed with sorrow and fear, just beg God to forgive you and then you do everything in your power to make things right. If there's nothing you can do about it or it is too late, then you must put the situation into God's hands and free your mind of something you cannot change.


Satan Wants to Discourage You


Forget the past, it is gone forever. Don't worry about the future, it may not be yours. Rather, lay up for yourself treasures in Heaven by living for Jesus and the gospel's sake. You don't have to kill yourself. You can have “a life” in Jesus (John 10:9-10).

Killing yourself is not the best way to make the pain go away. Life is full of problems, emotions, miseries and frustrations. Life can be better friend, but the first step is to never give up on yourself! Trust me, time does heal ALL wounds. I know from experience.


Sadly, many teenagers commit suicide. The teen years are extremely difficult on young people. They're caught in limbo between childhood and adulthood. It can be very painful as a teenage.

If you're at the end of your rope, then get a longer rope. If you've received the straw that breaks the camel's back, then get a stronger camel. Don't quit! Don't give up! You can make it!

Suicide is a sin! No one should ever even talk about something so foolish as killing one's self. I hope these few words have encouraged you. I'll tell you, there have been times in my life where I just didn't want to live anymore. I just didn't want to deal with life anymore. I didn't want to face another day. I hated life and everything about it. People can be so cruel. One man wrote to me and said: People equal pain. He had been hurt by many people in his life.

Perhaps you have never received Jesus Christ and would like to become a born-again believer. If you like to be saved now, Click Here. John 1:12, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
