Please hear this anonymous person: self destruction is never God's plan for His creatures.

The fact that you're consulting the people of God is a positive; I think you already know. You represent many! There are so many souls who are in what seems like a never-ending night of complete darkness; it's an illusion, perpetrated and deliberately presented by the enemy and his kingdom of darkness. Resist him and he will leave you alone (James 4:7).

(Let's stay right there. I won't shower you with a rainstorm of scripture; that can sometimes add more confusion than it does to clear away the fog).

James explains what he means in the verses that precede and follow verse 7.

James 4:5-7) Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the Spirit He has placed within us should be faithful to Him. And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." (here it is) So humble [yourself] before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

(Here's how you begin - you start by getting quiet before the Lord Jesus in prayer). Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash yourself... your loyalty is divided between God and the world. (vs 8)

Please don't try to take matters into your own hands! We give the enemy the advantage when we surrender to him.
Here is what James is saying: SURRENDER to Jesus! He says it this way: HUMBLE YOURSELF!

Do you believe the Scriptures? or the world?
