From Grief and Guilt |
Our
Church in San Diego and our television ministry have a PRAYER LINE
and hundreds of people responded by calling our Prayer Line during
the last twelve months. A woman called and told the councilor that
she was thinking of killing herself because of grief and guilt.
That day was the second anniversary of her husbands death,
who killed himself by jumping from the cliffs and drowning in the
ocean. That woman needed urgent help and she received help and deliverance
from the idea of suicide. Help and deliverance comes from the word
of God, because Jesus Christ has taken all of our sins to the cross
and he died for us! The word of God, which is powerful, helped this
lady in her situation. She had tried all kind of medications, but
was discouraged because it did not help. We invited her to visit
our services in our church in San Diego. She not only came, but
she also gave a powerful public testimony during the service and
said that she was completely healed and delivered by the power of
God and set free from all medications.
A
woman called our prayer line and cried so loud that we could not
get her name and address. She was just ready to kill herself. She
wanted to speed with her car and run into a certain tree to kill
herself over some "family problems". This twenty-one-year-old
lady who lives together with her seventeen-year-old sister was trying
to protect her sister from bad influences, connections, drugs, etc.
But she got totally frustrated and discouraged trying to educate
and raise her minor sister in the place of her mother. After receiving
confort at the prayer line, our councilor found out that this woman
was already a "New Believer" in Jesus Christ and this
was an open door for the word of god, because Jesus wants us to
have abundant life, joy, and the fruits of the spirit of God.The
woman made a new beginning with Christ and confessed: "Thinking
about suicide is the beginning of destruction and not a way to solve
probelems because suicide is sin!"
One
of our councilors took a call from another woman. Her son was kidnapped
by his own father. The authorities could not help her because the
father had taken the son overseas. The mother had not seen her son
and she had not heard from him for several years. Grief, loneliness,
and depression pushed her down on a daily basis. She asked at the
Prayer Line to pray with her for healing of her wounded soul. She
was comforted so much that she desired fellowship with the councilor
of the church. She now regularly visits our church, and her relationship
and faith in Jesus Christ has been renewed and she has received
"Healing from the word of God."
