(I have come to You today Lord seeking your guidance on how to address assisted suicide.)
Margo, you heard My Words to you earlier today that you must not leave Me out of this debate.
I know we get called out as religious fanatics and so when we stop proclaiming My Created Law, those who are calling us names have won.
They have succeeded in keeping Me, who is in charge of ALL, out of this debate.
Be very careful that you are not forgoing your duty to God first in a vain attempt to win this argument.
Will you be delighted to win even if you lose your soul?
You cannot and must not debate this from the human level because My Morals are not called into play here.
Just a good debater can sound good, but without proclaiming that it is because of God’s Teachings that you are debating this, then it falls apart.
Are you willing to denounce Me?
Because by avoiding using Me as the measuring stick for your argument, you most definitely are avoiding Me, and thus the name-callers have won.
They have taken you from relying on My Words, My Laws to endeavoring to prove them wrong on their level.
Do not fear being called names for My Sake.
You know it is wrong. You know it is morally wrong because I have told My People. I have provided great guidelines for you to follow.
But you think you can win the day talking in their terms.
Do you not realize that they have tossed Me aside, otherwise they could never reach the conclusion that assisted suicide is good?
They know that if they knock you off your God pedestal that you are just one of the hungry mob arguing about this --- both sides eager to win.
Where did I reveal to My People that the purpose of your life was to win?
Be very, very careful that you, like them, are not convincing yourself that winning is the goal.
Be very, very careful that you, like them, dare not bring God into the debate because the Truth will be revealed for all to see.
O My People. I have not Created you to win.
I have Created you to proclaim the Good News --- My Love and Mercy and Forgiveness for all.
The debate is very simple.
If you believe in God, then the answer is no to assisted suicide.
If you do not believe in God, then it is yes to assisted suicide.
So you see in the Bible I have said all you need is a simple yes, if it is yes, or no if it is no.
There is no debating with God. His Guiding Laws for us are very easy to understand.
If you believe them, then assisted suicide is wrong. If you don’t, then anything goes.
And we see that in all sorts of circumstances -- poverty, greed, licentiousness, gossip, lying, suicide.
Each time we must check our heart. Why am I doing this or that?
Do I take my guidance from God or do I consider that I can make good decisions without Him?
Am I afraid to be called a religious fanatic?
Do I consider myself a religious fanatic?
Does believing in God and His Teachings make me a religious fanatic?
See how we get thrown off from our center trying to prove to name-callers that we are not religious fanatics.
Can you see the devil delighting over the fact that we will make every effort not to bring God into the argument so that we can prove to others that we are not religious fanatics.
He delights that we want to separate ourselves from God in order to prove a point.
When we are afraid to mention God as the sole source for our stand against assisted suicide, then the devil certainly has won getting another soul to deny God to the World.
Do you love Me?
Do you wish to serve Me?
Do you wish to do My Will for the World?
Then do not hesitate to proclaim “I believe in God and thus my answer to assisted suicide is no.”
It certainly takes all the pressure off of you trying to argue the point so you can win the argument.
Take you and your arguments against it out of the debate and be willing to proclaim.
“I believe in God and so my answer is no to assisted suicide.”
This takes a lot more courage, because you will be tempted to debate it because you feel you have some good points to make.
But I tell you stand firmly on this and only this “I believe in God so my answer is no to assisted suicide.”
Now sit and adore. You have Me on your side and My Will for My World will be done.
