Lesson 35 | Choose life, not death
Summary of key points
- God gives us a choice between life and blessings, or death and curses.
- Jesus went through great lengths to break the power of death and to bring us life.
- If we still struggle with misery, depression, condemnation, self-hatred, suicidal thoughts or even a desire for death, it is likely that Satan and demonic spirits have some footholds that have yet to be removed (with 5 examples).
- It is to sin that we are meant to die, and not to life.
- Let us choose to turn back to God and to life (with guided prayer).
