#mandisa #christiansongs #gospelmusic #christianity #gospel Grammy-winning Christian gospel music singer and contestant on season 5 of American Idol died on Thursday, April 18th at the age of 47, at her home in Nashville, Tennessee.
FOR THE RECORD: This video was posted 186 weeks ago in Mandisa’s instagram Reels. Meaning, it’s from 2020 and NOT a recent “Live”, as the title and other comments have suggested. I’d really love it if people would quit spreading misinformation and let her rest. 🕊️
**LET'S GET REAL HERE** Shall we?? When someone says they are struggling...pay attention! When they say...I am tired and I don't want to live... pay attention...when someone says, I need help, I just need a friend... PAY ATTENTION... CARE!!!! When they go dark...pay attention... When they don't want to do anything... be around others... go out, go to church, get out of bed... shower...eat.... PAY ATTENTION!!!! If they eat alot... don't eat...sleep alot... don't sleep.... take drugs... drink Alcohol.... PAY ATTENTION!!!! When they isolate.... pretend to be OK.... deny.... won't talk..... PAY ATTENTION!! DONT DISMISS... watch what you say.... be a light in someone's dark!! Words matter! Caring matters! Where are you "Christians"? We say all these "pretty things" once someone is GONE!! WHAT ABOUT SPEAKING LIFE INTO PEOPLE WHILE THEY ARE HERE??? If Mandisa took her own life.... I know she had her village who cared.... but what about the lesser known out there? Apart of me went with her.... because I KNOW FIRST HAND what it feels like to feel so done.... SO ALONE...AND SO DOES MY HUSBAND! AND MANY OTHERS CLOSE TO ME... God... please.... help us ALL TO DO SO MUCH BETTER!!.... and God, please help me to continue to keep going myself when I don't want to alot of the time as I fight against the undercurrent of cruel humans out there! I care.... and I want to continue to DO... and be better... I challenge you as well...
Judge Lynn Tolerate has me very concerned. She's in deep grief over the loss of her husband. I believe Judge Tolerate and Man is a needed in patient mental health care and true deliverance
I agree that she took her life. That's such a sad thing. She put on a smile when she didn't like herself. Suicide is a sin regardless of how sweet she sounds!
I worked for a church and was put in a mental hospital for depression and anxiety. The amount of people that checked on me and cared was ZERO. Guys check in your strong friends, they’re LONELY. The strong, bold ones are in it right now 🙏🏻
Even as she shared and is trying to inspire others , you can see the sadness in her eyes and on her face . The questions that are asked are most about her illness . She tried laughing to let us feel she’s ok but she wasn’t , she was hurting deeply. Let us keep her family in prayer.
This world will take you down. We wrestle against dark spirits. We have peace in God but can still be in despair. This child of God perhaps just wanted to go home to him. He knows our struggles. Death is a crossover to paradise. Rest in paradise child.
I have been married twice and both of my marriages ended in divorce 😢 the men I married were very abusive towards me. I have such anxiety and fear around men and for years I had night mares. It will be almost 4 years since I've been divorced and I'm finally learning to love myself again and I'm not even sure I can trust another man because that fear is there that I will be hurt again. What gives me strength and helps me through my struggles is my faith in God because I know I wouldn't be here 😢 if it wasn't for him. So many Christian artists including Mandisa have encouraged me and inspired me in my walk with the Lord. When I feel down or feel defeated I always turn to k- love listening to worship music gives me the strength to keep fighting the battles that I face everyday. God never promised us a perfect life but he promised us that whatever we went through he would be there for us every step of the way. That he would never leave us or forsake us. God never left my side he made a safe passage for me and now I'm free from these men from ever hurting me again. I hate what they did to me, but I don't hate my ex-husbands I pray for them everyday that they turn back to God. I only have compassion for them. We love you Mandisa you were an inspiration to many of us. I'm so sorry you never got the chance to get married. R. I. P beautiful lady you will be missed
This death is really hurting me. Rest In Peace Mandisa. I pray that she is in heaven with the Lord and I’m praying for her family during this incredibly difficult time
@@tonyamartin1425YOU are a poor judge of character. Stop condemning others. This is a nasty, disgusting thing to say after someone passed away. Have some empathy and compassion as Christ did.
That's why we have to be mindful of happy happy people around us...those who make others super happy but dying inside ..I have shared my story of suicide negative voices torments ..but suicide is PRIDE EH..JUST SO YOU KNOW ITS SNEEKY...JESUS CHRIST DONT WANT ANYONE SO MUCH ON SELF GOD WARNED ME GET OFF YOUSELF ..TRUST ME..LET YOU GO ..
You can literally feel the anxiety coming through the screen. By the way she’s talking you can feel her trying to mask what’s really going on inside. I pray she has found peace in her rest. 🙏🏾🕊️
I'm in the pit and I'm alone. As much as I pray and ask, He doesn't love me enough to pull me out of it. He lets others hurt me constantly. I need Him, where is He? I am in danger.
But JESUS is GREATER..We have a responsibility to engage in warfare against the lies of Satan ,and allow GODs weapons to pull down strongholds . There is nothing too hard for GOD. Mark 4: And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
She was dealing with a death of her friend and her own depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, and societies pressures from being an African-American Women...She Definitely KNEW that Jesus LOVED HER!! However, she was flesh and blood...God KNOWS the hour...minute, second...of when WE will be called back Home...🙏🏽 🙌🏾 💐 💕...
She’s dropping lots of scripture and seemed to have all the right things in place.. The Word, worship, community, therapy, a puppy, self care. I give her credit for her self awareness and tenacity. We may never know the details but we trust that God honored her faith!!
As a 71 year old Christian grandmother, I know that this precious young woman is with our Lord Jesus in Heaven. Just like the human body can get sick or break down, so can the human mind. It wasn't her fault. She did nothing wrong and she was surely a blessing to many people. She fought the good fight. I am a lifelong sufferer of anxiety and depression and it is debilitating in every way but I had two children to live for and almost didn't. God welcomed her home and I look forward to seeing her in Heaven one day. She's no longer broken but has been made whole in Jesus.
I suffered with depression for years I even was hospitalized for depression and PTSD. God was with me the entire time, yes I suffered badly but I’m completely healed of “depression” and there is hope for all of us!
@@sharonguyton9119 I’m sorry for your lack of faith sister, so your saying there is no such thing as Jesus, raising the little girl from the dead, Jesus restoring a withered hand, Jesus opening blind eyes, I understand what the “doctors” say but my personal experience with this and the SUPERNATURAL Power of God says different. I’m completely healed sis that’s why I shared this, to give witness and testimony to the unexplainable power of the living God.
Supernatural power of God is so real I also battle depression God brought me out I surrender my life to him and I no longer have lupus, and a healed sprain knee so yes anything is possible
Its always the people who seem the brightest and most positive that are hiding behind so many emotional struggles. Makes me want to start reaching out to those people specifically
Please do!! Because sometimes you never know what we may be going thru. And even if people say they are ok, just lending yourself means a lot and we know that if need be, we could come to you.
because we have sick society victim culture I was introduced to a white guy 42 fat depressed giving an evil woman his paycheck every week they said help him talked to him and i didn't want to be bothered too negative they said help him he said he is going to kill himself I told him you are gone due anyway you don't need money pay me to train you you have nothing to lose just do what I tell you don't think 12 weeks later he looked like an action hero and wow miracle he wasn't depressed or suicidal no pills no therapy he gave real effort and got something done I was 100 percent not shocked at all I hate that people have been brainwashed into thinking depression is cancer and not just a doorbell that lets you know you are living wrong and need to take action.
I saw her at Arena Stage many years ago. Her performance was electric! I never really followed her after that. But I am sad for her, that at 47, she is gone. Listening to her here, she seemed bubbly and articulate about the Word of God and joyful, but beneath that, I sense pain, a silent cry for help, struggle and she's trying to convince herself of how to stay strong in the Lord. I may be wrong but I also sense, she gave up on herself. Please, my brothers and sisters, no matter how dark the day is, trust Jesus. Only He holds the beautiful future that awaits us in His time. Don't let the devil deceive you otherwise. Tomorrow WILL be better. Just believe and trust God. ❤️
I'm sad to say I did not even know that she was on American Idol :-(. I thought she got her start with TobyMac and then went solo after I should say during being with him. One of my absolute favorite Christian artists! such a beautiful voice I don't know how the heck she didn't win American Idol they were obviously complete idiots.
@jellybea I didn't know she was on American idol either. I thought she was on that show on the Christian Network. I can't remember what it's called but it was a singing competition but it was on this Christian Network. I don't think it's around anymore, not TBN r35
Mandisa is so missed. Her impact on the Christian Community has been great. I can't even imagine what her family and close friends are going through and her precious dog too. Prayers
For those saying she had fake joy, lost faith or why didn't she know God loved her.... I don't know what happened but ... SHE WAS TIRED...She was ready to go. I'm glad No more chains are holding her. ...Praise The Lord She Is Free‼️ Rest in Peace, Mandisa🕯🕊
When you feel heavy open the windows, open the door turn on all of your lights take a chair and sit outside in the sun force yourself. Even if in your car
I suffered from depression and anxiety few years ago, sitting outside in the sun really helps. It also helps with seasonal affective disorder. Nature heals....
Whoever told black people that their hair is ugly is so wrong. I think it’s beautiful!!! I love it when they wear it out. Please don’t get offended when I ask to touch it. It’s just that I think it’s so beautiful that I want to feel it. I have had many people say my hair is beautiful too and would never get offended if anyone asked me if they can touch my hair. To all the black women out there, if this world has you hating yourself and you’re sad and depressed…this makes my heart hurt. Know you’re not alone. So many of us go through the same thing no matter what we look on the outside. We need to love each other more, Christians. Love your sisters in Christ. Love love love. So much pain we feel out in the real world and we so desperately need to feel loved by our sisters in Christ. ❤
She was too much light for the music industry they couldn't handle it beautiful woman with a beautiful voice gone but never will be forgotten 🥹💔❤️😇 !!!
Sadly, this reminds me so much of Phyllis Hyman. 😢 May they sing their duet to the Lord.🎶🎤🎤🎶 Mandisa is NOT A LOSER (what she described in her X profile)!! RIP beautiful Mandisa 🙏💔🎶🕯✝️🌈🕊
Mandisa- you are gorgeous! Inside & out! I hate that you’re not here! I was wondering what happened you. I never thought you would make it to heaven before me. You could be my daughter! Every time I listen to Not Guilty without balling, actually just thinking about it makes me cry. I wonder how many people you have won to the Lord. You are so articulate & eloquent. It’s been three days dive your passing, & I’m still crying! There is no one like you! You were a light in a dark, wicked World! He is with you is my second favorite of your many songs. I feel like someone stuck a knife in my heart! I will meet you one day, hopefully soon.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
This is so, so timely! I just broke out the natural hair for the first time in a while in a business setting on Friday❤rocking what God gave me. I am enough.
The enemy starts his warfare in our minds. Without realizing it, we’ve allowed the enemy and the world to define us when, In reality, our identity is in Christ Jesus! It’s how Eve was deceived and why this persists to this day. Although chemical imbalances and other tangible factors contribute to our mental wellbeing, I believe this is an area we have not fully surrendered to God. I’m speaking from experience- years of depression, self-doubt, self-harm fantasies… It wasn’t until I surrendered it to the one who has already overcome the world, that’s things changed. My prayer is that those of us battling the darkness of depression and other mental and emotional struggles entrust it all the one who can renew our minds for good!! Prayers for Mandisa’s friends and family. Blessings and love to you all💕
This woman struggled with her inner, depression anxiety, no husband loneliness, and she struggled with her outer, her looks hair weight all these things that weighed her down, yet she was famous, popular and loved by so many because of her talent! She loved Jesus sooo much, its clear to me she was not ment for this world!! Glory to you my king. Take your beautiful baby girl home!!! ❤❤❤
Very clear you can have all that’s in this world but that’s not what solidifies your heart because there is a world to come and most want make it there because they didn’t give Jesus the day nor the time while here. Condolences 💐
People like you are exactly the reason why she's gone. What do you mean by "she wasn't meant for this world"?! Do you know how vile and utterly evil it is to look at the preciousness of someone's one life, while you're living yours and telling them that they aren't meant for this world? Would you say that to her in real life?! Why y'all gotta make something greater about the afterlife because people struggled in real life?! People in real life deserve to live good lives! Not just a "meant for the afterlife" life. Please, be mindful of the way you speak about the dead.
Loved her. She needed to understand that her curly kinky hair being opposite of the perceived "acceptable" or "beautiful" long silky hair is not an affront to black women. We can all feel that we dont measure up to what society says the benchmark is. As a white woman with a gigantic nose, I have always felt my share of not measuring up. But now in my 50s, I realize that this is the nose God created for me and He likes it, so I should too. Black people don't corner the market on "flaws". We all have those feelings...if we allow them.
She look like she was greiving and her spirit seem very heavy here, seems like she dealt with a lot of loss and didnt jnow how to deal with it, hope shes at peace now.
@@shawbrothersgirl2740 I hope she didn't but she did say she suffers from the temptation to commit suicide on many interviews. And she began seeing a new age chiropractor where she was glorifying death. Its not that new age chiropractor encourages suicide but the demons that enter when you practice opening up to that way of thinking. And satan is what Jesus called him -a liar and a murderer.
@@shawbrothersgirl2740 I don't know, maybe she died of a broken heart. People get cardiac arrests, heart attacks and strokes when they're under a lot of stress, greiving takes a toll on the body, not only that she had weight issues which could've added to the problem.
I feel something here and not sure if I should say-- I’m a therapist, but Christian first and the pervasiveness of anxiousness and depressive symptoms in the community of believers is alarming. God wants us well. HE wants us authentic. Yes, we have a responsibility to ourselves but more to our assignment to spread the Gospel. We're just visitors here. I pray that this is not what some of us are thinking.
Have you seen the crime rates, amount of broken families, and number of people struggling to meet ends meet? Of course a lot of people are going through things.
Thank you for this comment. I agree. There is a spirit of anxiousness and depression that covers the earth. I believe we are living in the last days. All of the things talked about in 2 Timothy 3 regarding the last days are here. These things affect us. But wouldn't it be wonderful if our pastors addressed this instead of what many of them do which is to continue to yap about experiencing our best lives now. Many believers have been so caught up in the things of this world and even just the business of taking care of bills - that they can't see the hope we have that Jesus is coming again soon. If there was ever a time to easily see that this world is not our home, it is now. Nothing makes sense in this world - except God did tell us the end from the beginning. We should not be unaware of what is going on in terms of the last days. We can be building up our faith under these trials so that we might be able to give a testimony and help others (believers and unbelievers) who are overwhelmed by what we see going on around us. Those in charge seem to be of unsound minds and certainly do not have the best interests of citizens in mind. But God is ultimately in charge, and He is working out His will and way for what is coming next. When we understand we are living in the last days, we can view what is happening with a completely different perspective. When we see prophecy being fulfilled, we can be energized and more determined to fight against the darkness. I am asking the Lord to prepare me for whatever assignment He has for me in these last days. It is a real battle, but better days are coming!!!! Believers are going to rule and reign with Christ during the millennium. That means we are being trained now, in these last days for our future assignment. It isn't supposed to be easy or plush. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and keep going.
Mandisa was seeing a chiropractor who was in New Age I wish somebody would have warned her . That's what I do but I didn't know Mandisa. The minute I saw that chiropractor She interviewed I knew right away I had discernment I pray she's in the arms of Jesus now . I loved her singing, I loved her joy in Jesus when she spoke his name each of us newer a different way , I did not see her on American Idol I knew her after that after she started her records what's the especially song you're an overcomer and also I was watching with my husband just this morning the video she did with TobyMac I don't want to gain the whole world Lose My Soul😢 she was so special I guess Jesus just wanted his Angel home with him. Rest in peace my beloved sister
Beautiful Mandisa, you will be truly missed by me and others. I know just how depression and anxiety feels, because im dealing with it as well as loneliness. I was in the ER with chest pains and high blood pressure because of it. Stress can kill you, also being very grief stricken. I don't believe she unalived herself. I have thought about suicide in the past, but God delivered me from those thoughts. I pray to God to remove the anxiety im dealing with. Rest in The Father's arms, sweet Mandisa. ❤
Suicide the s murder. I was always taught that you cannot deliberately k:!! yourself and go to heaven. This is so sad if that's the case . She seemed to be so in to God but how was she able to not get deliverance? Wow 😳
If she didnt accpet jesus as her loed and savior 2hat peace she having she was in hollywood if she ran back to lird she sqve by name and blood of jesus
Yeah so sad her environment even tells alot it’s dark, solemn not only that she’s alone she saying all the right things but people like this cover up by showing a strong face smiling laughing encouraging others but there was a lot of pain depression is real I pray she’s at peace ❤
Mandisa was absolutely beautiful. I don't think anything is more disturbing--- soul shattering--- than being beautiful... inside and out... and being unable to honestly, humbly recognize and TRULY embrace it.
@@gj5990 Just from the few interviews I saw of her, that's all she talked about, yet she seemed to die still struggling. Self-love is never a misguided venture... not as children of the Most High; we have an obligation to respect the unique packaging we were created in.
@@HSR-bk5qb self love is not the goal. God says to love God then our neighbors. Never is there a command to love ourselves. We have a problem with too much focus on ourselves.
I' prsonally believe what the bible meant is that it's alright to love what God created which is US. Just don't get carried away with it and overlove yourself esp over God. @@gj5990
@@gj5990”Love your neighbor as you love yourself” Mark 12: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
I see from the comments people encouraging support to others which is great. However, I think a lot of us are so broken that we’re unable to find the desire or strength to be of support to someone else. It’s easier to say Jesus is enough or I’d rather be alone etc. when in reality, we do need each other. We do need someone by our side just to talk, to smile with, to touch, to hear take breaths just like it’s meant for humans to interact. So until we step outside of ourselves, people will continue to suffer alone and unfortunately will die alone. From someone who’s been dealing with and, still struggles with what we now know as depression, I’ve been on this journey since I was a teenager and I don’t know how I’m still here. I’m not sharing this for pity. I’m sharing this to help others understand what this really looks like. I’m very bubbly and I get told that I’m fun to be around. I have the brightest of smiles and can make someone else’s day a brighter one. Behind closed doors, it’s a hell hole for me. It’s dark. It’s a sunken place. It’s a hopeless place. It’s a sad yet comfortable place. It’s a lonely place. It’s a helpless place yet I wear a smile when I’m in public and that’s how I conceal my real pain. As a result, it’s hard for others to understand that I’m struggling internally. Every day I have to intentionally choose not to be pushed over the edge. I reassure myself daily that I won’t do anything that I’d regret. It’s a constant effort to be here and I keep telling myself I’m not going to take the easy way out. So what I will ask you guys is in your day to day life, please stop and say hello to one person. Ask someone, what can I do today to make you smile? Make eye contact, share a simple smile. Sometimes just your presence is good enough. A lot of us are walking around in a country with millions of people and yet we feel isolated and alone. I look at the birds and cattle and can’t help but to admire the way they are together in flocks or droves. They understand that there is strength in numbers. Then when I look at my fellow humans, I’m extremely saddened by the lack of care and concern towards each other. Mandisa isn’t here any longer. She’ll be greatly missed. How many Mandisas can we go find and share our time with? Let’s start with Judge Lynn Toler. I see a lot of my struggles through her posts so I know alls not well. Please surround our sister with love and not send any vitriol even when she says something that’s off. Instead, be patient and kind to her and all who we come into contact with, even when you think they’re undeserving of your grace. It’s then it’s most impactful!
Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. “You never really know a person until you understand things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Depression is real, and many do suffer silently! As children of God, we need to be there to encourage each other and spend real time with each other. Human connection are divine and essential in our walk as believers in christ. It's how we share the light through the walk and the talk with each other and sharing his compassion and His love by human connection! I enjoy technology but we went from convenience to literally progressively replacing the human connection. Im an 80s baby I remember calling people on the phone and going outside to make new friends and going out in public and people would smile at you speak and acknowledge you to now mostly everyone is scrolling on their phones ignoring each other. To connect with someone virtually or an idea of connection or information! We are missing the human connection we need to thrive and survive. I believe she went early and there was still a lot to overcome but we that are still here let us challenge ourselves to be present and intentional with our human connection,we could change a life who could change their family and even the next generation ❤️ 💙 ❤that is letting our light shine ✨️
Thank you, Mandisa, for sharing your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is everything we need, the Joy, the Peace, the Love! He was even her husband, He answered that call. Fulfilling every need and every desire. What a true treasure to be able to watch what was her final "Live". She even prayed for the individual who commented negatively. So much to learn from this woman of God who lived for Christ! To God be the glory. 🙌🏽
The thing with Christians is that we’ve been conditioned to always have this toxic dose of positivity and when life is happening and our mental health is crumbling we are required to be ‘joyful in the lord’. Before you can tap into that level of joy you need to heal emotionally and spiritually. Those things take time and healing isn’t always pretty. It’s ugly, it’s draining and it can be very lonely when people don’t have the grace to see you through those dark times. I’ve been there, suffered depression for over 10 years yet never was diagnosed as depressed because I knew how to wear my mask well. That soul crushing pain that glides slowly down your heart is soooo painful and only those that know how it feels will understand her pain. She may have committed suicide. I tried three times and failed and came to accept that life wasn’t over. I pray that she is at peace and can exhale. Rising above the pain of depression is not an easy task 🙏🏾
My sweet sister.. I know that you are walking on the streets of gold with our Jesus singing praises to his name with your new name and your white robe and the White Rock.. thank you my sister for sharing your beautiful voice and Ministry to us it will never go unnoticed thank you for the song overcomer.. we love you my sister and we will see you again and have an our true home. Well done my good and faithful servant. 😭🙏🇨🇦
I feel so sad. So sad💔 As someone who was in that "I'm really done now...I'm on the verge of checking out" place (almost a year ago), I didn't internalise the Scripture that names depression as a "tormenting spirit" until that moment. I'd always found that reference grossly dismissive of what depression truly is. But in 2023, I GOT it, got it. Depression is a tormenting spirit that thrives when we're alone & being spun in the tumble dryer of the VERY REAL experiences that underlie (and opened the door for) it. I don't know what to say, except that life happens to all of us 💔
You can see the hurt in her eyes. She was trying to encourage others in spite of her own struggles. Please continue to pray for her family and friends. Mental illness is real.
This is sad to watch because I see this as a cry for help. I was reading the comments, and so many people are commenting on her beauty and her spirit, but what many people fail to realize is that depression is real. It happens to anyone regardless of their looks and personality! Many people don't realize that the ones who are viewed as the "strong friend," "the people pleaser," and "life of the party" are the ones who deal with high depression. I think the message from this video is that anyone struggling in silence should seek help immediately. As someone who has been called the "strong friend", it is easy to be there for others, but being a strong friend can be a letdown when you don't have people to be there for you when you are in need. Hence, it is important to establish better support systems that check in more often, and this is why I tell people to check in specifically on their strong friends. RIP Mandisa, and condolences to her family.
People don’t realize that they will say she committed suicide and it’s probably Not. There are very bad people in the music industry even in the Christian movement.
What an amazing woman. What an amazing life! She has left a rich-Faith legacy in the few years of her precious life. "Well done good and faithful servant Mandisa" Well done!
I hear you sister, why can't people believe that God knew her struggles in life,he heard and saw every tear she cried, and God just said enough my child , time to come home, no more crying.Welcome Home.
Sister, God would never approve of someone killing themselves. That is out of His character as God. He created us fearfully and wonderfully. He gave us breath. LIFE eternal.
So sad, she was such a beautiful person. Gone much too soon. My condolences to her family, may she rest in peace. So sorry we never got to see her get married, she really wanted that some day.
@@Lindsey396 ...The cause of death is not yet out it is under investigation. I know she has been suicidal for a long time. She speaks about it in her book. She was supposed to meet someone on Thursday for a meeting and she never showed and she wasnt answering calls, so they contacted her family for someone to go check on her and they found her dead.
Man, what a beautiful soul. She showed us how to walk thisblovr walk out. She endured so much grief and heartache, but God! She was helped by Him. I pray she is with the Father, rejoicing in His presence. For to be absent from the body in Christ, is to he present with the Loed. I will miss her and im jist so sad about this beautiful soul leaving us far too soon😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧😫❤️🩹
I have been dealing with this kind of thing professionally for over 30 years, from a Christian perspective. It’s obvious that she took her own life. But the judgmental people who say she can’t be in Heaven are cruel and ignorant. A Clinical, Chemical Depression can hit anyone. When you’re brain chemistry is off at times, you don’t think clearly or make good decisions. I know. I’ve been there. I was diagnosed in 1990 and will be on antidepressants for the rest of my life. God takes everything into consideration in cases like this. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?” Genesis 18:25
RIP 👑Queen! Mandisa, 🕊We loved you then and love you now! I was blessed to find her cd 10-years ago and I've been blessed🙏 by her beautiful voice and inspiration ever since. Such beautiful and uplifting songs that are just timeless, and appropriate for such a time as this👣..🕊
My heart is sadden RIP dear mandisa... i lost my brother 💔 to covid2020...i struggle with fear n anxiety attacks couldnt leave the house without having an attack 😪 i cry myself to sleep cry to God in the valley.. there was alot of why God??? We pray for healing but my brother died, in my healing in my quiet time with THE LORD PRAY to JESUS and after days of seeking The Lord Jesus spoke to me; i answered your prayers HEALED him and took him HOME..my brother LOVE to sing he was a worshipper just like mandisa and today they are both in THE KINGS presence FOREVER..UNTIL WE MEET again CHEO9 my brother you will be FOREVER in my ❤️ heart..😢
Sorry for your loss. Sometimes the healing is on the other side and not in this world. I lost my baby brother to cancer and he too was a worshiper/praise team member who was a father to an 18 month old son. I fasted and prayed for over a month for his healing but God had other plans. I was heartbroken and saddened for years. I felt like God had let me down. I didn't think I would ever get out of the dark hole I was living in but I'm still here and serving the same God. Before he died he said it was God's will but it took me years to accept that.
Condolences for your loss. The stress of loss and PTSD can cause depletion of vitamin B1 which can show up as anxiety attacks and depression. So, supplementing with B1 can help relieve those symptoms.
I feel for you, Mediusa: Grammy award winner. I ended up in a Mental Health Care rehab hospital from church life. And most Christians I knew do not care about you at all. If you have a clinical breakdown. And I have major Anxiety Deep Depression. You are a wonderful soul. And you will be in the eternal Heaven up above. You are going to be in the Light of True Grace. You are a Light in the Heaven sky now. Peace and Rest. Go with the accepted Light.
One of my younger besties passed away from breast cancer a few years ago 😢and I really believe she was going to overcome and beat it! She passed away not even a year after diagnosis, and I took that thing hard, became angry, but got thru it. Part of me felt she didn't fight😢hard enough, but I repented and healed. Most of all, I leaned on the Most High.. I was hurt, and it was ok to grieve, and that's what I did.. I miss her so much, but I believe she is at peace and with The Lord❤. She left behind three handsome boys..
My daughter and I used to listen to her "hits" on K-Love when she was younger. I had not listened to her lately but went to her page and saw that she had published a book, remixed her songs, and spoken on various platforms about her struggles and how God was her strength and Holy Spirit was her comforter. So sad that she is no longer here to share her light but I will just view her in glory enjoying 75-degree, sunny weather, free, from the cares of this world.
Why has almost everyone, surmised this woman took her own life because she shared at times she feels depression? Don't we all as humans get depressed at some point? Thats why sometimes people dont want to talk, as when you share your struggles you are judged negatively by the masses. Could she not have died of something totally unrelated .let's stop judging
I agree I’m getting tired of seeing posts where she’s taken her own life and I don’t believe it and I’ve asked someone very close to her and she did not take her own life and I wish these keyboard warriors would step away from the keypads and stop posting this hurtful nonsense
@MikkiGayle The thing is I just found this out an hour ago. I immediately felt in my soul that this is not a suicide. I was not even familiar with her music or appearance on American Idol. I looked over the clips and the condolences from people in the industry. I watched this video and I just have a strong feeling there wasn't a suicide here. May God rest her soul. 🙏
This video makes me cry because she was such a light in this world her infectious smile and her beautiful voice and her character of light I hope she knows now just how beautiful she was and is in heaven 🙌🕊️🙌
Such a beautiful soul. Beauty poured out of her even in her pain. We cannot believe the lies the devil tells us through ungodly hateful people. God really loves us. He really made us beautiful. We can choose to believe God. Sometimes we tend to focus on what hasn’t happened and miss what’s happening now. God is always there to show us His Will. No pain now beautiful soul and no one is married in Heaven.
My daughter loved Mandisa and also struggled with depression she used to say when she was having a pedicularly bad day Mandisa would come on the radio and it would be your an overcomer and it would lift her up and she would be able to go on.My daughter was 31 when she went home and I believe that her and Mandisa have met and are already good friends.
My heart was truly broken to hear the news. But then again I had to come to realization that God knows what is best. We’re not meant to be here on earth forever. So now that I know she’s with angels in heaven. I feel better knowing she will truly be able to do what is she was meant to do even after this life. That being with the father above🙏Rest Heavenly MANDISA.
❤ Dear Mandisa, I know you are at peace now. Thank you for your beautiful music. You are beautiful. You are beautiful inside and out. You will be greatly missed.
