Temptations of suicide / Fixing our eyes on Jesus

The temptations of suicide are real, but they are a lie from the devil. We must ignore the lies and run this race with perseverance with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Never give up, but wait on the Lord.

[@seawynd99]

We must ask ourselves,"Who is putting this idea in my mind?" Is it the Lord? We know He would never suggest such a thing. Is it me? No,in my heart,I want to live. That only leaves Satan...who has always sought my destruction. Help comes when I recognize where this idea is really coming from and who I want to serve. As the brother so rightly says,focus your eyes on Jesus...not on self.

[@aaronkim1074]

Amen! Well said. God bless you.

[@SELAHPAUSE]

Amen but no outside source is needed for our thought process But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. We have to take responsibility and bring those thoughts into the obedience of Christ.

I still struggle with it, but every day I call upon Jesus to fight this battle with me and not listen to Satan and his lies. God Bless you brother

[@fionak5975]

Please pray for me, I’m starting to feel hopeless 🙏🏻 I won’t give up but I need strength from the Lord. I also desperately want to be delivered, but most importantly I want to completely surrender. Many times I feel as if I almost surrendered but then I feel like I backtrack :(

[@aaronkim1074]

May the Lord lead you to a full surrender and give you His peace. When it gets harder, it becomes easier to surrender. Don’t give up, but trust in Jesus alone.

I feel like no point living, there were times just feel like end it. I bet myself up. I don't fit in the world. Thank you for encouraging.

When you feel this way, totally surrendering your life over to God is best. You see no point, but He does because He made you for a purpose. When you surrender, you can also leave all the consequences to God. The just trust Him and rest in Him. Don’t give up, but leave it all to Jesus.

[@veggieeater]

One of the hardest things about this is that it's difficult to believe that things will change for yourself, but for others, God will rescue. I have felt a heavy sense of loneliness for over 15 years. I want relationships but I am invisible. Nobody sees me or hears me, and even when I'm in a circle of people, I'm so socially awkward that that also causes me to be even more ignored. When I was a kid, I was a social butterfly, always wanted to be around people. When I became an adult, I have no idea what happened. I went to the park today to walk. It hurt to see everybody else having somebody with them, kids, partner, friends...I am ALWAYS by myself and it's starting to really get to me. I really do try to talk to people, but the effort on their end barely speaks. So, when you talk about the 300th day of pain but victory from God on the 301st day...how long is this pain supposed to be if it's lasting years?

[@gracegotthis3704]

Those feelings are there daily. What's setting me free is a stronger belief in Christ than any feeling I have. Read his promises. Listen to verses on hope. 1st thing in the morning and as often as those thoughts and feelings come. Aaron my heart is heavy as yours for it's painful to know that someone has ended their lives. God bless you and cover your ministry. May God's love and truth cover all of us as demonically placed strategies are on the rise( hard to find appropriate words..sorry). Lord I pray you send your Angel's to guide strengthen and deliver all who are suicidal in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Hi Aaron. I was just wondering if you could elaborate on what it means to "fix our eyes on Jesus." Do you meditate on certain biblical passages? Do you contemplate certain character traits that God possesses?

[@aaronkim1074]

Hello Pastor Luke, the way I fix my eyes on Jesus is like you mentioned: Meditate on God's promises, truths, and His unchanging character. Also, fixing our eyes on Jesus means we are not giving any attention to any fears or hindrances from the world. As we keep our gaze fixed on Jesus, our worries grow smaller and Jesus becomes bigger. God bless you brother.

[@kevinstreeter6943]

I have a just commented on another of your videos on suicide. I hope you read it. What makes you different is you are not in this bubble where you can not understand what others are going through, like I have heard from some pastors. When I opened up to one associate pastor, he was shocked that a true Christian would say what I said.

[@aaronkim1074]

Some Christians, including Pastors, simply have not been through hardship like you are going through. On top of that, many do not realize the blessings that come from hardships. Don't let ignorant people tell you suffering always means you are being punished because that isn't always true. For the child of God, no matter what he goes through, God makes sure everything is being used for his good and God's glory.

Hi Aaron, my life is unbearable. Dealing with a horrible and disgusting illness known to man (cyclic vomiting syndrome), afraid to leave the house because of fear of being sick. Can't do anything because I'm sick all the time. Can't work or drive. I'm scared for the future because I'm literally a disabled person and I can't take care of myself. I wish I could die because no one can help me, I feel abandoned because nobody understands. I watch my family getting on with their lives and it pains me. What if I'm stuck like that vomiting constantly for the rest of my life? I'm relying on my mum and she won't be around forever and then what am I going to do? I'm scared.

[@aaronkim1074]

Hi Alexandra, I’m sorry to hear of your continued struggles. Surrender is the way forward. You must let go of protecting yourself. Whatever happens, entrust yourself to the Lord. Whether you throw up or not, don’t be concerned over it by leaving all the consequences to God. Then, it becomes His responsibility. And don’t worry about your needs being met, but trust in the Father to provide each day. Dwell on Jesus’ teaching on the Father providing for the birds, and how He will much more provide for you. Surrender and stay surrendered.

[@maramjyotsna]

These feelings of taking away the god given life is not uncommon, however this isnt the answer because the problem is not confined to the body it has invaded the soul. We feel that our faith is so weak that even god couldnt possibly do anything in out lives. But in his grace, he made a way by which we can get rid of ourselves and yet stay here. That way is the cross. (quotes from Handbook to happiness by Dr Charles Solomon). God works the best when we are hopeless and weak dont resist him. Amen brother for talking about this topic. Thank you for suggesting the Book Handbook to Hapiness -it is an eye opener!

Hey Aaron, when your trial was over was it an obvious moment or did you just wake up one day and know you were done?

[@aaronkim1074]

Hi friend, my recovery was slow and gradual. I realized I was recovering as I looked back at how I felt weeks prior. Also, those around me were telling me I was looking better. I knew I was completely healed after a total of 3 months of recovering since I no longer had any symptoms and I was sleeping well. When you focus on Jesus alone, everything else seems to fade away. And after some time, you realize the Lord has made you well. I encourage you to try and not gauge your recovery much, but simply focus on His promises and stay surrendered. Even after your trial, it is good to live like that... but without the torment. God bless you.

Hi Mikki, you need to give up on yourself and cast yourself onto the Lord. Whether you live or die, don't worry about it anymore as you give your life to God for Him to do whatever He wants with you. Then, you are no longer your own responsibility. It is a matter of totally giving up in surrender and trusting and focusing on His Words alone.

I have a question for you if you don't mind and if you have time to answer. I've heard it said that the devil can't read our minds and know our thoughts like God can. But I've heard you speak about the devil putting fearful and false thoughts in your head and you explained how you told yourself they were lies to get rid of them. Can the devil read our minds? Or can he just put thoughts in our minds? Is there anything in Scripture that clarifies this? Thank you so much in advance for your response. God bless you brother

Hi Jin, the devil cannot read our minds. However, the devil can present thoughts to us.

[@leeeun8263]

Thank you so much for your videos Aaron!! God has used them to bring me so much comfort and faith to simply take God at His Word. You've shared that you have gone through a season of feeling lonely and some depression developed from that. At the moment, I have almost no close friends (not even at church) to talk things through with and it can often feel really isolating and lonely, and not having close relationships and connections is also a source of anxiety for me. I'd really appreciate it if you could pls share a video about how you overcame loneliness through Jesus and whether having a community of support was important for you to overcome during your dark times (or was it enough just to constantly remind yourself of God's Word?) :) Thank you and God bless!!

[@aaronkim1074]

Hi Lee Eun, you are very welcome; all credit to God! Regarding my struggle with loneliness and how the Lord overcame it for me, I don't know if I have enough material to make a video, so I'll write about it here. It was when I first started working and living alone for the first time away from all my family and friends. Loneliness started to develop and then caused some mild depression. The loneliness and depression, and a sense of meaninglessness, was what drove me to look for God. Once I powerfully met Jesus one night and received salvation, my loneliness and depression were just lifted off from no effort of my own. After that day, I was completely changed and full of the Holy Spirit, which included joy and peace, that loneliness and that depression never came back (not including my time in the intense trial). The reason why I am not able to guide others too well with loneliness is because God just removed it off of me at once. However, let that testimony encourage you that God will just take it off of you if that is in your best interest. If you humbly and in faith asked God to deliver you from loneliness and He hasn't yet, then He is using it for your good like He did for me. If it wasn't for God allowing me to struggle with loneliness, I may not have been saved. So be encouraged and wait on the Lord.

[@aaronkim1074]

I encourage to humbly go to God and tell Him what you told me and ask Him to help you. Ask Him to give you a repentant heart. Ask in faith and keep it simple, and then wait on Him. While you wait, keep reading the Bible whether you feel like it or not because the word of God gives you faith. It's sometimes like a feeding tube in the hospital, it may not taste good or you may not even feel the food, but you are being fed as you keep reading. Same thing with prayer. Keep spending time with God in prayer whether you feel like it or not, but when you pray go to Him knowing He listens to you and humbly go to Him knowing you need Him. Endure and draw your strength from the Lord.
