"SUICIDE AMONG BLACKS"(168)
|
I really don’t care what any of you think of me but you need to talk to your child especially young Black males because the devil is running ruff shot over that particular age group with suicide!!!!!! Blacks were committing suicide before James Dungy did yesterday only to be found this morning gone before his time because he took just one second to long listing to the devil! This is not a medical problem but spiritual warfare at it finest. Talk to your child, forget about me what preacher is money only who is and isn’t anointed and the rest of the usual useless nonsense that goes on in here!!!!! Ask your teenagers questions be in their business heads and hearts!!!!! The alarming rate of suicide among AA is disturbing, it use to be a time no matter what we were going thru nothing was taking us outer here!!!!! THINK AGAIN!!!! LOOK WITHIN YOUR FAMILY NOW!!!!!! THANKS

Something we agree on. Parents need to be their for their teenage children.
It's Like a jungle sometimes... It makes me wonder... Why i keep on duckin under the bed when i hear thunder... Cuz i ain't CRAZY- I just say sh!t that's CRAZY- to CRAZY people- To make'em believe that i'm CRAZY- So they can relate to me... |

.... usually the devil is doing an inside job....folk busy stressing their kids out with all sorts of mess... treating them like angels until they can stand up in your face, then suddenly wanting to be parents to them....and then trying to shove THEIR reality (such as it is) on them.... so, yeah, check yourSELF...then check your household... Receive it... believe it... live it....

in all due respect...blessed457 I fear a government that allows a 2-tier, seperate and unequal justice system..(blacks vs. whites) and the inequities involved........more than I fear a devil... I fear a government that disregards a election and picks and chooses who it wants, supported by a Supreme Court.....more than the devil.... I fear a country that allows almost 20% of its children to live under the poverty line, then cuts Head Start and other social programs for these children and then sends $87 billion over to help Iraq's school programs.......more than I fear a devil I fear a media, that spoon feeds these children with images of glamor, lewdness, greed, violence and muted sexual imagery....more than I fear a devil...... I fear a country who's solution to any problem is drugs, illegal or prescribed. More children are on psychotropic drugs than at any time in this country's history. Perhaps that could explain rising suicide rates. No...i fear poverty, ignorance, malfeasance and neglect by government agencies, and a wealthy elite that continues to move industries overseas more than i fear a devil I cant see. Poverty and ignorance.....are weapons of mass destruction. I'd start with dealing with enemies I can see and do something about, rather than dealing with a vague enemy who I cant grab. |

The inner toughness that requires one to rebuke the devil when he shows up to you the individual teenager or not is not and will ever be based on how you were treated by a parent or anyone else because the bottom line its all up to you! I and my wife taught out now grown adult kids to resist the devil and then he will flee from you as the word says he would, saying that they had to exercise the word without us and with us in order to perfect they resistance inwardly. The devil plays on the suicidal mind by making you believe everyone and everything is against you so there is no hope for you or the situation you are in when in reality victory was already yours….. thanks

With respect back to you I understand your rebuttal to my post but I disagree and here is why. The things you mentioned are abstract to the word of God because he gave man once Judges/rulers over the land hand picked and appointed by him, man rebelled against God. ALL the problems you mentioned are connected with mans rebellion to God and towards other men. If reverence was afforded GOD then the mistakes that you now see wouldn’t exist but they do because man not God has an adversary whose job it is to reverse everything decent and good into what you despise now and do not blame the devil for instead of God working thru man. The government is no better than the people who do not vote, pray, and seek Gods face daily about the jobs they have and the power they control! So NO I don’t blame the government I blame mans inability to govern himself according to Gods standards not mine. He said if he was lifted up he would draw ALL men unto him, who and what is being lifted up today is your answer not problem….. thanks

Amen! I totally agree. We have to keep in mind that the Bible calls the devil the "prince of the power of the air." "Prince" signifies an authoritative figure. In this case the devil presides over the kingdom of darkness and he works in the sons of disobedience. I don't know the exact scriptures, but all of that is in the New Testament. I believe it is Isaiah who prophesies about the coming of Christ and His kindgom, who says, "...and the government shall be upon HIS shoulder." That lets me know that spiritual warfare that we and our government are in will soon dissolve because "The Kingdoms of this world will becoming the Kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ." Rev. 11:15. |

you have a point. I have a young son who thinks about suicide everyday. He's on antidepressants. Although he says he is happy, he still think a lot about death and that there is no purpose for his life. It is very puzzling and depressing for me as a parent to see my son this way. He is in the U.S.airforce and he is basically a loner. I notice a change in his behavior when he turned 12 years old. Although I had him on Christmas day, he doesn't care about Christmas and doesn't pray to God.

you have a point. I have a young son who thinks about suicide everyday Me> Then we need to reverse this thinking I the name of JESUS because this obliviously is not, “think on these things” things that are lovely, pure, just, honest, or be any virtue or praise, so thinking about ending it does not fit this category at all. His thinking needs adjustment and that can only come by him adjusting to the word. He's on antidepressants. Although he says he is happy, he still think a lot about death and that there is no purpose for his life. It is very puzzling and depressing for me as a parent to see my son this way Me> Then you and I will go into agreement that there is nothing to hard for GOD nor is there a situation or person he can’t heal set free and deliver from this trick of the devil!!!! Your son resistance level is down because the bible commands us to “resist” the devil and HE WILL flee from you!!!! So in the name of JESUS I believe that our words are more powerful than the lies the devil tries to plant inside your sons head and heart so much so he is no longer dependant upon a drug but is set free and drug free by the blood of JESUS who has already stood in the gap for his depression!!!!!! So in the name of JESUS I declare your son is healed and set free from suicide and depression…… And I pray that God gives you peace that passes all understanding and wisdom to diagnose when your son needs to hear the word of God from you thru you so be encouraged and don’t look at the circumstance look for the promise….. Peace to you

I agree we need to look closer than ever at our young teens today. The enemy is on his j-o-b and we need to stay on ours. Tell them the truth, don't worry about hurting their feelings. The enemy, wants to do more than that. He wants to take out our youth today because their the future. We need to be better examples don't take no for an answer from them. Train up a child the way he "should"go, when he get old, those things you taught him will help steer his life, he won't depart. Though it may seem he will no matter what do your part and in his worst times he'll remember. This was a good post God bless you! OUINDA |

Just as the human body needs water to survive so does the child who needs not only water to survive today also but he word of God to sustain the thirst to listen to the devil our natural born enemy….. Water nourishes our body along with food but the word of God excels both because its powerful and capable of defeating the tricks of the devil like suicide is as one of his tricks he plays on the mind! No one wants to talk about why young folks are willing to commit suicide because no one wants to hear God has a answer thru him from suicide…. thanks

BLESSED457 I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR TWO SECONDS CAN I ? OVER HERE PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD...... "PREACH ON, I AINT MAD AT YA! HAHAHAHAHAHA :) YOU ARE SO CORRECT. IF MANY PARENTS WOULD FEED THE WORD TO THERE CHILDREN AND LIVE BY FAITH THEMSELVES MANY WOULD NOT BE IN THIS KIND OF SAD MESS. MOST PARENTS ARE IN THE CLUB PARTYING, SOME BRING UNGODLY MEN IN THE HOMES OF THESE CHILDREN AND DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PERSON. DON'T KNOW THERE BACK GROUND, LAYING UP WITH SATAN AND ALLOWING SATAN TO BRING IN ALL THESE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPIRITS. AND WONDER WHY THERE KIDS ARE KILLING THEMSELVES. SATAN COMES IN TO KILL STEAL AND DESTROY......... IT IS SO SAD. AND MANY WILL ACCUSE GOD OF DOING THIS.....THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, BUT WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS THE FIRST NAME THEY CALL ON IS GOD. MANY HAD BETTER TAKE HEED, IT IS SAD FOR ANYBODY TO ENDURE SUCH A THING. BUT IT IS THE CHOICE'S THAT ARE MADE. WILL WE CHOOSE LIFE, OR WILL WE CHOOSE DEATH....... GOD BLESS YOU, I PRAY THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAD A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND I PRAY THAT YOU HAVE A VERY BLESSED NEW YEAR AS WELL. LOVE YA :) |
