So ill stand in trust ill stand in faith I will not be shaken.

The increasing number of Suicide:

• most people who commit suicide weren't interested in it at some time.

•suicide takes the life of nearly 30,000 every year

• its estimated once a minute someone attempts, and many succeed in taking their own lives.

• more people die from suicide then people who die in car crashes.

•For 15-24 years old suicide is the third cause of death.

•from 25-65 is the average age of men that commit suicide.

• there are four males that commit suicide to ever women.

•in the military 2011-2012 suicide increase by 11 percent.

• more then 349 took their own life in the four branches of the military or one every 25 hours, more than the 295 who died fighting.

- A service man gave a testimony about how he had the gun in his mouth and was at the verge to take his own life and god did not let him. God saved him from himself.

•Something desperately wrong in a nation so educated and prosperous where so many people are taking their life's.

•Depression is the underline cause of it.

• how can we live in a nation so progressive but that we can't get along with ourselves?

Read:

• Matthew 27: 1-5

1. Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed. 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.

3.When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.

4 “I have sinned,†he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.â€

“What is that to us?†they replied. “That’s your responsibility.â€

5.So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

•have you ever thought of killing yourself? Has it ever crossed your mind? Do you know someone to whom it has happened to?

• There is a state of confusion, frustration, anxiety, and despair that is happening.

• there are many who are strong but there is a wide amount of people that are not.

• if your one of those strong ones:

be sensitive to those around you who are in the process, who are thinking of the moment or day to where they will commit suicide.

Causes of suicide:

• Commitment to a cause or group:

- A love pact for example.

• Life has become meaningless:

- for example: "i work eight hours a week, income home turned on the tv and all I hear is the bad things happening around in the world. I put on a comedy show and may laugh in the moment but then decide I don't want to listen to these lewd jokes Nd turned of the Tv."

- The may say: "I don't have any sense of purpose in life it's a never ending circle that keeps going from bad to worst."

• The Circumstances may seem hopeless:

- maybe economically

- maybe your undergoing a case in court or something of the sort.

• Unbearable Pain:

- some people have gone been enduring through a pain for years.

-carrying that weight on their shoulders.

- they say I don't want to die but I can't stand living.

- people in emotional pain feel unwanted, feel rejected, cast out isolated. And that emotional pain maybe so bad that they cant handle it anymore an say I'm going to take my life.

• We don't understand the degree of pain some people go through and have to be sensitive about that

• Retaliation or vengeance towards another person:

- they may say you did this to me now you see what I'm going to do to you, I will prove to you who I am.

£ Who is affected when a person commits suicide? :

• The person who commits suicide.

• Family, friends

- Is suicide in my genes? if one of my family members committed suicide, I'm I deemed to die that way? No, it is not in your genes.

• When someone takes their life you can't say I'm sorry and are left thinking of what you could of done to prevent that.

• When a person commits suicide it's expensive, economically and emotionally for those left behind.

• Sometimes it comes by surprise and sometimes there is a little hint that a person is thinking of committing suicide.

• You can't ever bring them back, you would never know why.

• You ask a thousand times how did I miss it, what could I of done.

• The embarrassment that those left might undergo:

For example Kid goes to school and their mate said I heard your daddy shot himself. that kid will never get over that.

• The community is also affected.

• The tragedy of tragedy is that you can never get them back, to find out why.

• Guilt, frustration, anxiety is often left.

-Is suicide a sin?

• The sixth commandment: " Thou shall not commit murder" includes oneself.

•55 million baby's have been murder. You can call it abortion or anything you want to.

• some where along the way we have to wake up, and realize what it's being done.

• God will not ignore this, nor leave it unnoticed. Otherwise he wouldn't be the god of just,purity and love that he is.

• God loves those babies as well as us.

• The reason some people are doing it its primarily for money. (Abortion)

• Gods judgment will come upon any nation that does that or permits that.

• Those Doctors doing this will have to respond to god.

• We are seeing things in our nation that we have never seen before.

• our moral system has fallen apart in pure corruption.

• and everyone wants to stay quiet, and go along with the things happening.

• The bible in nowhere condones suicide or murder

• God is a god of faith.

• God does not change in any of his quality.

• to change his mind, would mean he missed it somewhere and god does not miss anything he knows what is going on.

• You were given the gift of life.

• The privilege to spend eternity in heaven.

• When you commit suicide you loose the reward God would of had for you.

• it's and expression of pure ingratitude for god.

• an expression of self hatred.

• if you do something that violates the word of god there is a penalty to it.

• When god created you, he had a plan with you.

• if you take the gift of life God has given you and throw it away, your rejecting his gift basically saying is not good enough.

•When you do this as a way to escape your problems, you are telling God your handling things your ways.

• God allows pain and difficult time to cleanse us, to change our mind, and glorify himself in us.

• you can handle anything god sends your way, because he is there to surround you to be with you no matter what.

• God allows difficulties to come because he is in process of teaching us something.

• You have to endure things until god tells you to.

•He knows what he is doing, Trust him and have Faith in him.

• God doesn't want u to run he wants us to stand.

• Stand In the truth of the word of God, which is the bible.

• if you say well I'm not a believer, so why I'm i going through this? God wants to be so miserable that you would come to him.

• God would so anything to save his kids, and if dragging you to him is what it takes, then he will do just that.

• Romans 8:28:

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.

• God only you can help me through this, and he always will and always has.

• when you take your life and deprive the life of those around you it is a selfish act.

• it hurts your testimony and the testimony if Christ.

- if your a Christian and you do that what a non believer would say is if your god didn't help you through that I'm not wasting my time cause he sure is not going to help me.

• Give God time to work in your life.

•is Suicide an unpardonable sin?

No, but there is a penalty to it.

• Jesus died for ALL sins.

•there are many disappointment in our life but we have to trust God and that he will take us through it.

Suicide:

• it is not the will of god.

• it is a sin.

• is it a unpardonable sin? No

• a person who takes their own life looses their reward.

• We have to think in terms of eternity.

• the bible said we will died and that after this world is judgement.

• Matthew 12

• the only unpardonable sin is blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.

- they will not be forgiven in this age or the age to come.

• We are save because the Holy Spirit enable us to become a believer.

• When you say i don't believe Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit i will have nothing to do with that, and they continually reject the word of god, after a while in their mind they become committed unbelievers.

• When you closed Christ and the Holy Spirit out you can't be safe, because the Holy Spirit is what saves us and motivate us to change our way of life and come to god, it is what purifies us.

• That is the only unpardonable sin. (Blaspheme against the Holy Spirit)

• Suicide is pardonable but horribly destructive.

• God does not condone suicide.

• Their are people who love god but have come to some area in their life where they think they can't handle it and take their life.

• Suicide is forgivable but the consequences are disastrous.

• you can't name something god won't help you through if you trust him.

• god is alway there to help you no matter what your going through.

• you have to trust god.

• just because a person says I'm Christian does not mean they re indulge in the word of god.

• read the word of god and seek comfort in him.

• If someone mentions suicide to you once or joking around take it seriously!

• remind them god can help them through it. His willing you to walk with you step by step.

First you must invite him as your friend and savior into your life.

• Trust Jesus Christ as your savior. When you accept him he forgives you of all your sins.

• You have God to help you through whatever your facing.

• Don't destroy what god has created.

• say: No I'm not taking my life I'm going to find out what this awesome god has in store for me.

• My god will never leave me or forsake me.

• Don't be ashamed to ask for help.

•Ask for help and god will help you.

• Do you know someone who has talked about it just mention it or jokes about it? Encourage them to come to god and seek help.

-God is never late, He is right on time-
 
dear lord i pray that you earthis plea, and answer this prayer in jesus name amen.

I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.
 
Dearest Lord Thank-you for the abundances you have so graciously placed in our lives. Please hear this prayer. We ask this in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
 
I pray that many people will read this post and that they will grow in wisdom and in guidance from God as how to recognize the signs of people in crisis who are thinking of suicide. As was stated above, sometimes the person does not voice the fact they are suicidal, and sometimes people don't take the talk of suicide seriously. Is other aspect of this I would like to bring out:  Are people who try and fail. They end up paralyzed, brain dead, brain damaged and on and on. That is yet another serious risk of trying to kill yourself.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
