Facing Suicide

People are suffering from broken hearts.

Even when surrounded by godly people, it is possible to reach a place with so much pressure and pain that you cannot help yourself—you need the Body of Christ to reach out. Instead of casual advice like, "Believe God," you need someone gracious enough to put an arm around you and say, "We're standing with you."

Let's minister lovingly to hurting people—especially during times of trial, weariness, or grief. We need to realize that insensitive words minister to no one. Such words do not bring life. Let's pray for and strengthen one another with compassion and fulfill Jesus' commission to heal the brokenhearted!

—Kenneth W. Hagin

Having a loved one commit suicide is extremely difficult. Surviving family members deal with intensified forms of normal grief (guilt, anger, confusion, and so forth) and frequently feel isolated from others. They may feel shame about the manner of their loved one's death and not know how to explain it.

Those who would normally offer support to the family may also feel uncomfortable. They may keep their distance due to their awkward feelings and difficulty of not knowing what to say.

Mighty Men–A Call to Arms Men's Conference 2018

Conference Review

Hundreds of men gathered on the Rhema USA campus on November 1–3 to hone their faith, be built up in the Lord, and live above the attacks of the devil. Speakers at CTA aimed to strengthen, challenge, and encourage those who attended. The men left refreshed and better equipped to enforce the victory Jesus has already won for them.

Be sure to join us next year for A Call to Arms 2019, to be held November 7-9, 2019.

Highlights from the conference:

"It's time for the world to see godly men who dream big, accomplish the impossible, resist evil, and rise in victory." // Kenneth W. Hagin

"Sometimes it doesn't feel like we're triumphing. But God's Word says we always triumph in Christ (2 Cor. 2:14). The key word is always." // Craig W. Hagin

"God wants you to win. But to please Him, you have to stand in faith. Whatever you're going through wouldn't be in your life if you couldn't whip it!" // Roy Coggeshall

"When Scripture says nothing is impossible, it also includes getting your mind under control and not allowing it to control you." // Mike Cameneti

"When I lost my arm, I thought my life was over. I was ready to give up and dealt with suicidal thoughts for a long time. But God can use your pain and turn it into your purpose." // Jeff Bardel

"It's not enough to only get the vision from God; you have a responsibility to see it through to completion. You will never rise up in your man status until you do what God called you to do." // Earl Glisson

Review of 2017 Conference:

Kenneth W. Hagin opened A Call to Arms Men's Conference with a strong exhortation for men to see themselves as champions. It was a powerful time of bonding, brotherhood, and breakthrough. For three days in November, men listened to messages on their identity in Christ, the power of praise and humility, and enduring to the end. The weak left strong, the sick left healed, and men were transformed from the inside out. They were equipped and empowered to be everything God called them to be in today's world. Mark your calendars for A Call to Arms 2018, November 1–3.

CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE

// KENNETH W. HAGIN

The devil tries to challenge us on our identity as men and who we are in Christ. If he is successful in doing this, Satan has inroads into our lives. We must be willing to fight for our identity and for what belongs to us. Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV) says, "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

If we're going to win against the devil, we have to be fighters. Some men may not be a natural fighter. But God will help them. Everybody likes a great victory, but there is never a great victory without a great battle. Jesus faced a tremendous battle when He went to the cross and redeemed mankind from the enemy. He triumphed over all the power of the enemy. Jesus was the last man standing, and His victory is our victory.

Welcome!
