Suicide On The Rise

A friend called the other day because she had just heard of a friend of mine who had committed suicide a couple months ago by hanging herself from her poster bed. I had already learned of the tragedy shortly after it occured. Tom had to break the news to our 19 year old daughter, Jamie, because she adored Christine.

Tom and I are news junkies (well, he is, and I eavesdrop with the TV on in the background most of the time). Today, several suicides were reported in the local news. Then, I learn of Charlene's precious cousin who committed suicide. The evidences of being in the last days is escalating as quickly as I have anticipated. There is so much need for desperate prayer and extreme faith.

I met Diane yesterday. She and her husband left Georgia 4 months ago, leaving nothing behind, and setting out with their 3 children on a mission from God. They have prophetic gifting and her husband identifies with Jeremiah, The Weeping Prophet. So many confirmations are continuing to arise and there seems to be a convergence of like mindedness on the part of God's people. When the congregations of other bible believing fellowships in our community unite together in one accord, with one voice, and one desperate purpose, the out flowing of the Holy Spirit will arrive.

We are seeking holiness through repentance of sin, desperation in prayer for all the Saints and proclaiming the good news to everyone God puts in our path. I proclaim, without reservation, that the days of the end of the age are upon us. It is still the beginning of many, many horrific days; where many others whose lives have touched our own, will commit suicide. Jesus is our anchor and prayer is a great responsibility. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty for the tearing down of strongholds. May we wield the Sword of the Spirit of Truth with precision and great effectiveness for the glory of God and the fulfillment of His great commission given to us.

May the peace of God reign in our hearts, whether we weep and mourn loss or rejoice in new life. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Come Lord Jesus. Come. Come quickly.
