"waking up in a devil’s hell"

1) Rejection of God’s soverein authority
2) eternal separation
We will look at an area of life that has not gotten it’s share of attention. Teenage suicide in america.
as a character witness we will use Judas’s character as Judas was one of many biblical characters that had committed suicide. Although the first suicide recorded was that of king Saul. I Samuel 31:4; therefore we could say it’s an age old problem that we are yet troubled with.
We must examine this subject closely because of the astrnomical number of suicides amongst our lost teenagers of all race, sex, and socio economical backgrounds.
It has been discovered that on a national level.Nationally Out of 30,575 Teenagers between the ages of 15 - 24 there are an alarming 4,135 "Possible Lost Souls" by the evil hands of suicides. Making the teenage suicide rate a startling 11.3 suicides per day,furthermore, it has been revealed that in the past twenty years the suicide rate for black males between the ages of 10 - 19 has doubled from 2.1 percent per 100,000 to 4.5 percent per 100,000 therefore, the myth that blacks don’t committ suicide has been combatted; However, this matter is not that of race but that of souls.
Lets elaborate on the suicide of black males between the ages of 15 - 19 which are at an alltime high of 146 percent, eight times the amount of their white counterparts who hold at 18.2 percent.
It is said that these figures should create a public health alert.
This problem they call a public health problem is nothing short of a unidintified spiritual problem that many of us as christians have neglegted to pay attention to.
These secular psychologists call It a phenomenon, truly it is to see a living soul possibly eternally lost. Am I saying that whoever committs suicice will wake up in a Devil’s hell, Certainally not
The truth is:
1) There lokking for temporary relief
2) They need Godly love.

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Suicide
waking up in a devil’d hell
Ecclesiastes 9: 5 - 6
That those who are alive know they will one day die, but the dead know nothing and will have no more rewards.Even the memory of them is forgotten.
Their love and their hate, along with their jealousy is gone forever, and they will never again have a part in anything done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:4
As long as you are alive, their is hope! Even a dog that is alive is better off than a lion that is dead.
The devil is here to Kill - Steal - and Destroy.
Kill your dreams.
Steal your hope.
Destroy your right to salvation.
the devil has some enticing lines and enticing thing to offer.
I heard it said the other day:
For what is a man profited if he gains the world, and loses his own soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his own soul?
I came through to ask, what would you exchange your soul for.
Although you may comitt suicide that circumstance that you shed your blood for now becomes a lifelong problem of someone elses. Parents-Friend-Associates.
none of the above are worthy of your soul there all lies because God is the father of the broken hearted he understands these dilemas you are facing. But the choice of suicide could possibly drive you into: a devil’s hell.
I would like to help somebody today:
I have been young but now am old, yet have i ever seen the righteous forsaken.
Those who know his name will put their trust in him, for the lord has not forsaken those who seek him.
Somebody listen to me:
I know the storm has been blowing in your direction.
and you ask:
where do I go from here? Go to Jesus.
Try Jesus He’s alright
seek him while he’s able to be found, call upon him while he’s near.
I know that the devil is on your hills waiting for you to fall that he may entice you with his vain agenda.
For this reason Paul left these blessed words of instructions:
Be strong in the lord and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Oh Yeah!!
The devil is ever present.
Suicide
Waking up in a devils hell
I believe that if Judas had known that he was going to wake up in a devil’s hell, he would have considered his options.
The bible says Gods mercy endures forever
1) Taking a gun to your head does not change your positioning.
2) Tying a rope about your kneck does not change your positioning.
3) Taking a knife to your wrist does not change your positioning.
4) Taking a hand full of pills does not change your positioning.
Then after you have grappled over the act of suicide - you say, "Lord forgive me." then you go on to commit suicide.
When you ask for forgiveness you don’t go on and sin, repentance is to turn around from that which is sin.
Suicide
Waking up in a devil’s hell
The devil is after your lives that he may stop God’s plan.
He brings us all kinds of enticing ideas that we may stumble back to the old lifestyles.
Little sister - Little brother, I have a clue about life - I have been through the storm.
I know life appears to be unfair.
I know that folk kick you around when you’re down.
I know that weapons have been formed against you.
I know that your journey has been a long journey with depression.
I know your family has rejected you all the days of your life.
I know that your talents have been overlooked.
So I stopped by to tell you your storm has just ended.
I want to tell you that when Jesus is lord of your life, there is nothing impossible for him.
He is that same God that sits on high and looks on low - looking around the circle of the earth.
He’s that God that is bigger your storm.
NO STORM - NO TROUBLE - NO WEAPONS - can stop our LORD.
I Declare that the word of God Say’s in
II Corinthians 5:17.
Threfore’if any man be in Christ, he is a knew creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
STORY
MATTHEW 27: 1 - 5
CLOSING
I know that:
There are many that have been thrown in the fire.
There are many that have been thrown in the lion’s den
There are many that have been knocked down to the ground.
There are may that have been used and abused.
There are many that have been fighting depression.
But i stopped by to encourage somebody today.
Although you have been:
through the fire - You’re still here
In the lion’s den - You’re still here
Knocked down to the ground - You’re still here
Used and abused - You’re still here
Suicide is temporary relief leading to an eternal problem.
Quote "If - That is the question"
If - children live with criticism, they learn to condemn and be judgemental.
If - children live with hostility, they learn to be angry and fight.
If - children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy and withdrawn.
If - children live with shame they learn to feel guilty.
But If - children live with security, they learn to have faith.
