I have been suicidal a few times in my life. It was always a spiritual problem for me as I was running from God and into sin and sin was feeding my depression. Since I got saved I still get depressed at times, sometimes I get discouraged. If I focus on all the bad going on in the world I can get pretty down but if I focus on the Lord and His soon return that gives me hope so I really have to learn to focus on what's right, true and lovely. Easier said than done but I'm spending more time in God's Word and meditating on His Word and learning to trust Him. When you are saved the Lord will allow trials in your life to grow you up in Him and teach you to trust Him. If you learn to respond correctly you grow in the Lord and walk with the Lord and have an awesome relationship with Him just like Job, Noah, Moses and David and plenty others in the Bible who went through tough times even to the point of despising their life. But they held on and the Lord brought them through it and He will bring you through it too. I'm praying for you ?

You don't need the Lord to "enlighten" you in the scriptures so that you can suddenly understand why the Lord sends some babies to hell. The fact is that there will be zero babies in hell and if you suddenly become"enlightened" and the scriptures began saying that unclean babies are in hell please believe you have a spirit of deception hanging around you "enlightening" you. I'm sorry but that really upset me. That's a very disturbing teaching/belief.

I was at one time enslaved to many, many things. When I surrendered my life to the Lord He set me free from these things. I wish I could say all at one time but it was actually slowly, possibly more slowly because of my fear of letting go of some vices I'd used for years to cope. I was a cross addicted drug addict, which means I was addicted to two different types of drugs. Once the Lord set me free from one I felt reluctant to let go of the other. Reluctant but yet I wanted to do the Lord's will so I moved forward and let go of the other drug as well. After that it was on to the cigarettes and that was very difficult. I had used those since I was 12 to cope. I began coping with my mom abusing me by smoking cigarettes so once I put those down the unresolved hurts from being abused we're still there waiting to be dealt with. And so I found that underneath all of that other bondage was emotional bondage and the Lord is in the process of healing me from all of that. He has brought me such a long way. Hard to believe that 4 years ago I weighed 100 lbs and was almost dead from drug abuse and got on my knees with my Bible and repented and He has given me a new life and restored my relationships, healed so much of my broken heart. It's just hard to believe I am that same person, the Lord has worked such miracles in my life. Thank You Jesus?✝?

Well we've had biblical flooding all over the US in the past couple of years. Earthquakes, floods and wildfires are increasing worldwide. Seems like the birth pains are about to turn into full force labor. I'm amazed by how many christians there are that don't recognize what time it is.

I know that I'm well over a year late responding to this topic but better late than never. I think what a lot of people fail to understand and why they are deceived by false teacher's is because they get filled with joy and peace during a sermon and lacking discernment automatically think those feelings came from God, not understanding that Satan and his demons can mimic all those feelings. Spiritual discernment is so important, we are in the end times. Most preacher's on tbn are infact false preachers. Always, always, always pray for discernment and ask God is this preacher or teacher from Him. Do not blindly watch every preacher you see on TV. That is a dangerous, dangerous game. I've learned discernment the hard way and it's a very serious thing God's people need more of. Please pray for it.

Have you tried extra virgin coconut oil? It helps if you rub it directly on the psoriasis but it really works wonders if you also add it into your diet, about a tsp a day.

I do not like this pulpit & pen guy, I don't believe the Lord has called anyone to sit online and pick others apart. Yes we are to have discernment but not to the point where it has become our obsession instead of the love of God. Seems Satan either wants us to have no discernment or to become so obsessed with it we end up attacking our brothers and sisters in Christ. Not edifying at all.

I've had these kind of thoughts about God, that He is cruel and it actually caused me to have an irrational fear of Him and to run from Him a good part of my life. Once I surrendered my life to Him the Lord revealed to me that my perception of Him was way off and it came from being verbally and physically abused growing up so I've put a lot of work into healing in that area and the more I heal the more I realize how crazy about me the Lord is. He just becomes more loving all the time?

Praying for you, your wife and Indiana Jones? I had to do that about 3 years ago and I do believe my Bee Gee is in Heaven.

Amen, get close to the Lord. Trust in Him and not our nation's leaders. We are living in the last days.
If someone doesn't know about Christ, and has never heard of Christ, then where do they go when they die?

Billy Graham said that God is calling a people to Himself out of every religion in the world. Not that all religions lead to God. It's funny how the devil twists his words and a lot of Christian's (especially the one's who think they have extra discernment) actually lack discernment and are doing the work of the devil without even realizing. If you think of yourself as something extra special and especially strong in the Lord maybe you should think again. The meek shall confound the wise. And just so you know Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and people of other faiths are being saved everyday. Of course then they become ex Muslims but that was what Billy Graham was saying. Shame on you "wise" people.
