 Gabby, here's a good question. How do you stop having suicidal thoughts? It's a good question. Important question Anybody can have suicidal thoughts. How do I know? Because even Paul himself said Because of what was happening to them this for the sake of the gospel. He says that We despaired even of life itself Things can get so bad like you know what I could just go ahead and die I can so people have those those thoughts even good godly people such as Paul such as the disciples It happens. Well, how do you do it? Well the way you fix that is Twofold so let's start in James 4 first therefore Submit therefore to God resist the devil he will flee so these thoughts of you dying or kill yourself They come from the enemy. They don't come from God. They come from any so resist the devil and he will flee Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. I can promise you this the closer you get to him The closer you get to him those thoughts go away. Why? He's better at cleaning you up than anyone else Anyone has a problem with the way you are or what's what you're going through have them pray for you that you get close We got your incessant complaining and talking trashed about me this net whatever that won't fix me What will fix me is my closest my proximity to God What saves us what grows us what keeps us what makes us better is our proximity? You can be a believer and be even more distant from God the closer you get to God the better whether you are a believer or Non-believer if a non-believer gets close to God what happens? Same thing that happens with the believer so that therefore you need to as he says draw yourself closer to him How do you do so? Well, here's a good way to do so. Let's go to Philippians 4 He says well, you know, let's start in verse Let's start in verse 7 and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension will guard your heart and your minds in Christ So finally rather than whatever is true whatever is humble whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely Whatever is a good repute or report if any if there is any excellence And if anything worthy of praise dwell on these things or think on these things you do those things That is how you help yourself to overcome Suicidal thoughts something else also want to deal with because it also may be that a person might not actually be saved And we're gonna cover this on on next week as well about a person or what was happening here in James But James 5 13 says is anyone among you suffering this word suffering This is a person that is that is hurt that's torment that that is and it could be this is spiritually speaking guys now This could could be a believer Likely not a believer and so if a person is going through these mental machinations and machinations if I'm saying the correct way Then he must pray is anyone cheerful. He is to sing praises anyone among you sick He must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over the money him with oil in the name of the Lord Look what it says and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick and the Lord will raise him up So we're talking about One being in sin or a person who's not a believer But the important thing to remember here is that you just simply draw closer to God you think on Godly things read your Bible, but then also be around the people of God call for the elders If they're not around call for your brothers and sisters until you can talk to the elders But being around your brothers and sisters that helps a lot That helps a lot so hope that that helps a lot If anyone is suffering if anyone is depressed and guys we're gonna see this more and more if you are depressed do those three things and Do those things all the time simultaneously or as much as possible or as What's the word contemporaneously consecutively? However, you want to put it do those things and then watch how your soul is healed. Amen
