Please everyone... respect this man with the things you are saying in the comments. You have no idea what he was going through. his rights and his wrongs are not for us to judge. Honor his life please.
+Roller Ghoster There is no true peace, happiness, or freedom apart from Jesus. Everything you look to for peace, happiness, and freedom, short of Jesus, is an empty illusion, and will eventually disappoint you. Repent and turn to him for life and satisfaction.
@@matthewdyer2926 that is your choice and your way of life. I know plenty of decent, honest and hardworking people that, like me arent religious. I try to live my life by being grateful for what I have, caring for those around me and I'm thinking of volunteering my time for the welfare of others. I plan to be good in this lifetime and not be pre occupied with something that in my mind may not exist. But that's another argument for another day. Take care.
@@Roller_Ghoster "Whatever is not from faith is sin." "No one is righteous, no, not one." Apart from God, there are no "decent people". Your good works are self-righteousness. Your volunteering will be a carnal endeavor that bolsters your own pride and temporarily pacifies a guilty conscience, and nothing more. What is "in your mind that may not exist" has no bearing on reality. The reality is that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Your disbelief will not be an excuse on the day of judgement. You are at enmity with a wrathful, all-powerful God, and he has extended to you a chance to be reconciled to him as a son rather than an enemy, through his Son Jesus Christ who died to pay your debt of sin. If you reject him, you will have a horrifying eternity regardless of what you do to numb and pacify your guilty conscience. This life is your one chance to turn to Jesus and be saved, and yes, you desperately need a savior. Leave your rebellion behind, it will only lead to an eternity of horror. Jesus Christ "stands at the door and knocks". If you reject him, you will regret it bitterly for eternity. If you repent of your sin and turn to Christ, you will have life and have it abundantly, in paradise with the best, most beautiful, glorious being in existence.
@@matthewdyer2926 you are not morally superior to atheists no matter what you say. Christianity has stolen from other cultures. Take the Argha Noah which was an ancient Egyptian name for the flooding of the Nile. Halloween, Easter and Christmas have their origins in European pagan culture when spreading christianity borrowed these as it became the dominant force of religious expression. I came on here to Express my sympathies to the passing of a fellow human being and not to be small talked and intimated by a unevolved meat head like you. I know true Christians who would be embarrassed to be associated with loud mouth lunatics like you. Good day asshole.
@@Roller_Ghoster Of course I'm not morally superior! Where would you get that absurd idea? The _only_ difference between you and I is that I am penitent and forgiven because of God's grace through Christ, and you deny that you even need forgiveness. You can insult me all the day long, and any name you call me will probably be accurate, though the only offense I have done to you is tell you the truth. The Bible says the truth is offensive to those who are perishing. You have confirmed this. The only thing I will point out, and that for your good, is that atheism does not allow for morality. There is no good and evil, right and wrong without the existence of God to say which is which; without God, your "morality" is subjective and relative, and it is abject nonsense for an atheist like you to make any moral claims with no basis for the existence of morality. To you, we are all stardust, the products of random, meaningless chance; "expressing your sympathies" has no meaning or purpose, because life and death have no meaning or purpose according to your own worldview. I hope you are able to see the silliness of your beliefs, and that you are led someday to the truth.
You don’t know what kind of storms are behind peoples’ smiles... be kind to everyone and pray for all. Whatever you’re going through God ALREADY made a way. God Bless you guys, let’s keep fighting together!!!
Nice meaningless platitude. You must feel good. You do know that almost every one of Jesus’ disciples faced circumstances that they were not delivered from: they were outcast, martyred, and killed. I think you need to open the Bible and actually study it...not interpret it subjectively.
I have been tempted or thought about suicide for years now. My main problem with it is that committing suicide puts you in the same boat as Jezebel and Judas Iscariot. Every time I think I am going to suffer the same fate as Judas it stops me from suicide. However, I am not sure if I am strong enough to endure what Job went through. So this proves that my Heart is still very hard and needs more intervention from the Lord.
My dear friend! With the recent epidemic of suicide both in the public eye and in my personal life, my heart has been heavily breaking for people who are suicidal. I cannot claim to be an expert in this area, but I do know that God’s heart is breaking for it as well and I cant just sit idly by without attempting to help my fellow brothers and sisters who struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts. I love you, I’m praying for you and God has not forgotten you or abandoned you. I am convinced that our current suffering pales in comparison to the eternity of rewards that Christ has for us in the age to come. Keep believing, persevere, hold on and trust in the Name of Jesus! He is a fortified tower that we can find safety in as His children. If you have the time, I encourage you to read John 15-17 today as a reminder to you how much Jesus loves and cares about you. He prayed for you to the Father. He had you in mind while He ensures His suffering on the cross. JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU! And so do I.
@@Valor4Christ do you think this pastor needed a new heart? Do you think HE wasn't seeking God with his WHOLE Heart??? You have no idea what suicidal thoughts are about. One who is a christian with those thoughts spends every moment of every day praying and pleading with God. For some, they just can't take the trials and struggles and pain any longer. It's not about how close they are with God at all. It's not about judging someone and telling them they need a new heart?? They probably have a better walk with God than you do and because of it, Satan is slamming hard on them to defeat them. The closer you grow to God, the harder satan attacks.
The Lord Jesus says you will know them by their fruit... eternal life is to them who believe... is suicide the fruit of someone who believes, is it the fruit of the spirit of the fruit of flesh.
There is more to church then flashy lights and a good message. You need something deeper deeper then just salvation. You need more from God then you actually want.
Mega churches encourage showmanship and put huge pressure on the speaker. As Christians, we should have church services and small gatherings where we can be more intimate in conversation with fewer people so we're building strong connections with people. We're much more lonely in crowds. I don't know what caused Jarrids pain, but the feeling of isolation and loneliness is prevalent in our society.
It isn't the size of the crowd that is the issue. It is the message. Many of these mega churches simply do not preach the gospel. They only preach a bastardized or watered down version that is man centered. Most of these churches preach moralistic theraputic diesm. Moralistic do the right thing and you will have a good life; Therapeutic focused on self and feelings. Deism a mere acknowledgement that there is a God. This is not the gospel. The gospel is this: God is infinitely righteous and infinitely holy. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. No one does right not even one. You stand as an enemy of God and subject to his righteous wrath for your sin. Yet while you where still his enemy he sent his son to suffer and die in your place for every sin you have ever done or ever will do. So that you can be reconciled back to him. Not because we deserved it but for his own good pleasure because he is sovereign over all. The true gospel is a call to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. A lot of these mega churches do not preach the gospel because the gospel isn't popular in the world. They want worldly acceptance. They want growth and large attendance so they compromise and fill the pews with goats instead of sheep.
Agree! I attend a mega church in Melbourne Australia and I see this with Planetshakers and Hillsong. I have friends who are leaders and lots of them aren't ready to lead but because they need people as the church is growing they pick those who have been going there for a long time
LozzyMagoo you are so right, this is why Jesus had 12 disciples and not 112. Intimacy is the antidote to isolation. You have wisdom and understanding :)
@@hazelmarie1027 I attend a mega church myself. I don't like small churches and I am more uncomfortable in small gatherings. Also, not all mega churches are bad. My Pastor does an awesome job. It's a huge challenge with him leading such a large flock. And not everyone agrees with him.
It's sad that his battle came to what it came to. But what's even a greater tragedy is how ignorant ppl are about the battles ppl have with suicidal thoughts and depression. I pray that God teaches and show those that lack empathy and are full of ignorance how to be more compassionate and merciful.
Bless his heart. Sometimes we as Christian's carry the pain that we see others going through and it hurts us.😢 I've never heard of Jarrod Wilson until early this morning. He was a young man of God. That is the most beautiful thing in this world to me! I would like to say this. Jarrid was not weak because they say that he committed suicide. To me, it meant that he was truly choosen by God. To be choosen by God means that you can feel what others cannot feel. You love like no others can love. You can see and hear what others cannot. This world has become so wicked. And everyone is so greedy now. It makes you want to give up. I'm happy to see that Jarrid had a family that loves him very much. I pray that God will cover them with peace. I pray that they can continue to thrive in the absence of Jarrid. Rest in peace my brother in Christ 😔♥️
I’m am heartbroken and I’m an atheist. The level of pain he must have been in to still do it despite everything is incomprehensible. His babies. I can’t.
We don't know what his last few minutes were like so we have no right to judge. Christians need to stop judging people! Pray for his family and friends and leave the rest to God.
let us stop judging Pastors who have fallen short, coz we don't know the weight of their burdens. instead we need to realize right this moment that our own Pastor needs a fervent and constant prayer. make them feel important and backed-up during their down times...
Sam Dan I'm so sorry to hear that about your brother 💔😢. May your heart be at peace as you mourn his passing. If you feel like you need to, please talk to somebody about how it makes you feel. 👍♥️🙏
Sam Dan we need to speak out and agree that suicide must never be done. Family members must stay with God's Message and remain firm with the belief that we must not do suicide. I don't claim to know exactly what is happening to people who committed suicide. I am not God, our Creator. What I do need to do is teach that God Said that we must not try to kill ourselves, encourage people lovingly not to do it, and don't attempt it ourselves.
Listened to this preaching last night and it brought revelation to me on this topic, looked him up today to see more of his preaching only to find out that he's dead. how sad. May his soul rest in peace.
It's all too easy to self-criticize. We are the hardest on ourselves. We can give ourselves just as much grace that we so readily give everyone else. RIP Jarrid. Thank you for encouraging us to follow Jesus and be the salt of the earth.
One of the reasons why satan can easily attacked pastors and churches is that there's no power of the Holy Spirit at all. Bible is not enough, it is powerless without the Holy Spirit's guidance.
What I see here is weak theology. No where does Jesus say that people will be attracted to us because of our deeds. The world will always hate TRUE Christians. Many different belief systems say the same thing about loving people and doing good deeds. Open the Bible to see what makes Christianity different. If the world likes you there is probably something wrong. I see a man who is about himself and his presence on stage and not about any real exposition.
ITWASME you’re saying that missionary work has caused you to deviate from biblical truth? You’re a missionary? That’s quite scary. Building huts and handing out sandwiches are not going to change peoples hearts. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.
yes! exactly it's false teaching and even more so considering the what he did....that church is so full of materialistic things. THe women's ministry puts so much effort in floral walls. They literally spend so much TIME and money putting together a floral backdrop that you go and take your pic in front of and hashtag that you were at church. What the is that?! Was this guy gay and too scared to go against everything to expose his true identity? No one knows but something is going on.
Can't believe he was suffering all through the way...what a tragedy may his soul rest in peace #true indeed@The gateway to heaven is so narrow, only few will get there. Let's pray for all the Preachers, missionaries and people zealously working for God. They truly need more strength and power in this cruel world
Never heard about this guy before this morning. Listened in part to one of his videos. Liked what he had to say so I subscribed immediately! Just to find out in the comment section he has killed himself! Tragic! My heart goes out to his entire family! 😩😢😰
These contemporary churches are annoying. Doing everything they can to be just like the world when Christ called us to be separate. Obviously, it doesnt lead to good outcomes.
We often forget that counselors can benefit from counseling as well. Unfortunately, they’re not exempt from pain and struggle. From what I heard, he was battling depression too. I’m not into religion, but my heart goes out to his family 😞
I'm always thinking about his sons that he left behind and shame they lost somone who helped others. If you're dealing with mental illness, find the most comforting outlets to get you out of it.
The problem was evident in one of his final tweets: "Loving Jesus doesn't always cure anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts." He is correct. We do not have the capacity to "love Jesus," for it isn't even possible, not even scriptural does the Bible mention us "loving Jesus." Jesus first loved us by being the sacrifice on the cross, and it is a reaction to that sacrifice that we are able to overcome anxiety, & depression, and suicidal thoughts, not the other way around. Did Abraham come out of Ur of the Chaldees because he loved Lord? No Did Noah build an ark because he loved the Lord? No Did Moses deliver Israel out of the house of bondage (Egypt) cause he loved the Lord? No The Lord called Abraham out of Ur, Noah to build an ark, and Moses to deliver His people. They weren't all walking around trying to get close to the Lord, but we're responding to the Lord using them in a mighty way. The Lord wants to use each one of you in a mighty way, to be used for His purpose. "Loving Jesus" is a Christian way of saying "I love the Lord" rather than the other way around. It is a self-absorbed & self-righteous of a spirit that dominates the churches. Get out from under that deception, for we are in the last days, and to walk around "loving Jesus" carries no weight to the enemy desiring to destroy your soul. Pray for this man's soul, but do not fall to the enemy like this. Church & it's desires to fit into this world have led it down. This tragedy is now leaving imprints all across believers & unbelievers minds. This is a testimony of despair and hopelessness, not a testimony of someone who is ready to "conquer all things through Christ." Wake up Church, put Christ first, & come out of the world...
"pray for this man's soul" Why are you even asking this? Where in your Bible are we encouraged to pray for the dead? This man *chose* to lose himself and there's no prayer that could overturn the consequences of his decision..
There's so much more to this passage. He said that salt is used in various other parts of the Bible. Where and why? How do these passages connect to Matthew? What exactly are we asked to preserve? So much more to expand on but mega church pastors only want to skim the surface.
An argument could be made that Samson took his own life and made it to Heaven. I am not sure and certainly not the Judge. This was before Jesus though and now that we have Jesus we are supposed to be greater than him since he is with the Father. As simple as it reads or is taught is certainly no so simple. It seems very complicated to my pea sized brain.
You know we are in the last times when preachers call on death, and many many are leaving the pulpit. Satan comes only to steal kill and destroy. Comes to rip out what God has sewn into the heart. He is trying his best to stop Gods work. His wife will continue on with his legacy.. Suicide is not the answer but some can truly love yet still see so much pain in others and can't seem to find a way to fix everyone's problems along with their own. I'm sure he is with the lord, They have accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour, and that's all they needed, and to be witness to others. You might say he wasn't a good witness, how many of us can say we lead even one person to the lord? He might have lead many people.Who are we to judge? We didn't know this young man's heart.
"Loving Jesus doesn't always cure suicidal thoughts. Loving Jesus doesn't always cure depression," he wrote. "But that doesn't mean Jesus doesn't offer us companionship and comfort," he continued. "He ALWAYS does that." So like.. does this lead people to Hell if they all commit suicide too or to Heaven? The news of this happening hit world wide. This 'could' lead people to Hell so fast. If you have employees in your business that matter for proper workflow, better be ready to replace just incase.
We need a new religion asap. Even the religious leaders are having conflicts and going against the ultimate belief. When the future generations get desensitized from all the computer usage, realizing they don't want to struggle (think about it), why wouldn't more people follow in the suicidal footsteps that others have completed?? Not only do people take themselves out but they take out others too (who want to live).
So sad, so young. I feel so bad for his wife and his kids. And we will ALWAYS wonder why? What was it that made him snap. May God comfort his family And for everyone struggling with depression or struggling in any way. PLEASE SEEK HELP IF YOU NEED IT, AND DONT TAKE UR LIFE AWAY. I used to be suicidal 16 yrs ago but I thank The Lord Jesus for saving me and setting me free from so much demonic possession. I have my struggles sometimes my life isnt perfect but now I know that I'm not alone and that I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME. I been through so much hell and have survived so many insane horrific situations and in 2016 I went through CHEMO so if I'm making it I pray that others do to. The sad thing is that many times people feel like they are alone and that no one can understand them. And that's a lie of the devil. PLEASE IF U R STRUGGLING WITH ANYTHING U R NOT ALONE AND JESUS LOVES U AND THERES AMAZING PEOPLE WHO WILL LOVE U AND HELP YOU. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. RIP Pastor 😭😭😭🙏🕊💕💖💐🙏🙏🙏
From suffering from depression my self but being up lifted by the holy sprit and set free from worship and prayer,i wonder did he have the holy spirit? Because there is fullness of joy on his presence.shame..
it is weird, to listen to a message of someone who was really gifted to teach, but couldn´t overcome his own struggles….what message has he sent out in the Christian community? that even if you are a Pastor, and preaching the word of God, Living with Jesus, you are not defied of giving up and taking your own life. I can´t imagine his pain, although he had a Wonderful Family and als a calling in life that he nonetheless took this horrific step. I hope he has Peace now.
When one has not changed, and still conformed to this world, what can you expect? James says in 5 : 2 " your riches are corrupted, and your GARMENTS are moth-eaten. satan is crafty, smart, influential, well established in this world as a god. only walking in the Light of Yahshua can keep him away. To Yahweh be all glory and praise!!
Well that’s why this is an indirect statement 😅 but most of these mega churched pastors can’t deal with themselves because they have to many temptations. I wonder was he living a double life
I"m a life-long Christian, and, of course feel awful he was going through such horrible inner demons. The elephant in the room is that we all do judge whether we admit it or not it's human nature. And, thankfully I don't have those thoughts, but, if I did, the #1 thing that would stop me is the thought of robbing my children of a father. Sorry, that's selfish. I do hope they get counseling and find a new, positive male role model.
Mental health is not an excuse. If you are a true believer, you accept that in this life you will have trials and tribulations. You will have a cross to carry. It says in the bible, "Those who endure to the end shall be saved"! That includes the mentally ill too. He didn't say, except for those who have a mental illness. Not everyone who is mentally ill kills themselves.
And most Christians think that he went to heaven ... Brothers, as if God will accept in the kingdom of heaven someone who commits suicide, however "Christian" he may be.
cati queen i have been critizised for comments like this! But its the truth!! And he knew it! Its like people are making this ok and u better not say im going to hell cause Im sick n God understands and God is Love!! So u are shut down by christians! Lord helps us. Cause people are going to do this and find themselves in hell! 😭
Samson committed suicide and many other men of God also in the Bible. Jesus never mentioned hell when they asked Him if He was going to kill Himself. Only those that don't believe in Christ doesn't go to be heaven. John 8 21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?” 23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
From: Word Of God Church - Oklahoma City Oklahoma .....Our deepest condolences from our church family to yours ... praying for your peace, strength, and encouragement, and continued faith in Jesus name AMEN! Be ever BLESSED (RU-vid: Word Of God Church Oklahoma City Oklahoma)
Sunshine Diaz so you wanna promote your church’s RU-vid channel now? Thats really sad how instead of promoting Jesus you are promoting your church 🤦🏽♀️
entiendo comprendo las iglesias que se basan en el amor de Jesus pero tb tienen que comprender que necesitan activar el ministerio de liberacion e intersecion URGENTE!
Just sick , to read in the comments this supposed "Christians" so quick to judge this man for his actions, reminds me of the pharisees in the time of Jesus, looking down and condemning sinners as if they had earned a place in heaven by their religiousness
What's up with havest and their all black clothing ? I have never seen Greg Laurie not wear black. Just an observation. Take the hat off. I was taught hats on males inside is disrespectful. It actually fits the biblical standard. He sure talked fast. And moved fast. I perceive his mind was jumbled as well. Where's the pulpit? The reason pulpits were designed so large was to make the man small and the word of God large. We the listener would hear the word preach and not see or make big the man. I understand he's trying to be edgy. Edgy stage setting. All his sermons i have watched thus far is very man centered, with Jesus tacked on . I am worn out hearing him. Harvest has a faulty view of repentance, for them repentance just means change your mind and not to forsake sin. Just some observations as i am new to Jarrid and just heard about his self murder. So sad.
It breaks my heart to know that he’s no longer with us💔 I guess Angels belong in Heaven with the Lord and not in this horrible world. REST IN PEACE no more suffering
Christopher Smith yes- he didn't stop to think that his kids will still need him when they reach drivers ed age nor share their school accomplishments and be there for them or if any of his kids has a medical condition or his wife for that matter. In my family, I've had to deal with soooo many life threatening conditions and with Gods strength have had to help save my husband from bleeding ulcer, my son who is handicapped- seizures- intestinal emergency surgery, daughter fainting, my son needed support in his dental work and to support them and cheer them when all four of my kids won awards from high school and seeing my handicapped son overcome great medical trials and to be able to see him graduate is worth it all. Now he left his wife all alone .
They put too much pressure in this poor guy, and he didn’t know how to say no. He played the role of pastor to not let the people down. But it was all an act. It’s sad, but it seems like he seeked peoples approval, and it ended up killing him.
Don 88 i agree with u ....hes preaching and didn't live it ... how salty can he be by what he did he lost his flavor smh he was leading such a big flock and didnt live up to what he preached... its sad so sad!!!
Ridiculous :what a ridiculous way to wear such kind of clothes in a service church!! Is not nesecary if we think to attract people in our church,? some one can explain ne please?
You don't need anyone to teach you the bible. Just reading it will teach you. Start with the Gospels, and read from there. All this, listen to us preaching, is a scam that's been going on for thousands of years. Don't fall for it, just read the bible for yourselves.
Now hes in the darkness of the earth and screaming for mercy wishing he wouldve never took his own life. This is sad. Hes a hypocrite. Talking about himself..now he will partake in the lake of fire and brimstone...not worth taking your life really!
Suicide isn't the impardonnable sin. Christians aren't saved by what they do or don't do, they're saved by what Jesus did. Jarrid is in heaven if he put his faith in Jesus Christ, which I believe he did.
@@nolanharris4111 if he put his faith in Jesus he wouldnt have took his life. Dont you know anything about the bible. Are you decieved? He decided to not trust the word of God therefore he made his choice.
I kinda agree... because greed and envy are sins and he partake in a selfish way. I'm sure Heavenly Father took his, in a negative response. Punishment regardless. He thought himself over the duties of responsibilities of being a father.
@@Dogtraining1784 Everybody decides not to trust the word of God when they sin, yourself included. Do you think just because you sin, you never put your faith in Jesus?
All the comments on this video the people are here only after hearing from his death but I knew about Jarrid before his death before his appearance on outdaughtered tooo bless this guy he was so handsome and sexy RIP JARRID SO UPSETTING TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DEATH 1988-2019 HE PASSED AWAY 10TH SEPTEMBER 2019 AT 30 YEARS OLD
