Hello,
My name is Damon Gesell, and I am a TRUE believer in and of Jesus Christ. I capitalized TRUE because this is how I know Jesus Christ is real. He revealed TRUTH to me. I used to think I knew the TRUTH. T-R-U-T-H. I didn't. What I believed was TRUE was what everyone else in society believed. That's not TRUTH. Some people connect TRUTH with the Bible. That's not what I am talking about though. The Bible is TRUTH, but not the TRUTH I am referring to. Here is the definition of TRUTH:
truth
/tro͞oTH/
noun
noun: truth
1. the quality or state of being true.

plural noun: truths
"the emergence of scientific truths"
synonyms: fact, verity, certainty, certitude; More
antonyms: lie, falsehood, old wives' tale
4. Jesus Christ – I added this to help you understand Jesus IS TRUTH.
Real TRUTH is the quality or state of being TRUE. That which is TRUE or in accordance with fact or reality. This is the TRUTH of JESUS.
The 2nd definition of TRUTH is "a fact or belief that is accepted as TRUE." This is man's TRUTH, or the TRUTH of the world. This is what society believes. This is NOT the TRUTH. This is just what is accepted as TRUTH. These are LIES. Society believes LIES.
Most people don't realize it is TRUTH they don't believe in. T-R-U-T-H. What they accept as TRUTH is what everyone else in society believes. Society is called "world" or "man" in the Bible. Let me say that again! What the Bible refers to as "the world" or "man", is society. The TRUTH that nonbelievers of Jesus Christ believe is society's TRUTH. That's NOT the actual TRUTH.
John 16:33 (KJV)
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Remember, "world" means society. What Jesus is saying is that He has overcome society. That society will give you tribulations.
Jesus overcame death even. Society believes you have to die physically. You DON'T! At least not until the 2nd Resurrection. Let me explain. Jesus showed us that death leads to Resurrection. There are a couple ways of looking at this, and BOTH are TRUE. In church they teach that He is talking about spiritually. He IS talking about spiritually, but He is ALSO talking about physically. Yes, you will still die in your physical body one day, BUT you can live until Jesus comes back!
Here are some scriptures that talk about this possibility:
Mark 9:1 (KJV)
9 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mark 9:1 talks about how some of the people there when Jesus was here wouldn't taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power. That will be the 2nd Resurrection. When Jesus comes back! Jesus was the 1rst Resurrection.
Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
1 Corinthians 15:51 ESV
Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Sleep is considered death in the Bible. Jesus said Lazarus slept.
John 11:25-26 (KJV)
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
The first Resurrection is spiritual. The second Resurrection is physical. When EVERYONE will be raised from the dead. Living or dead physically.
Depression is spiritual death. This is one of the ways the Bible talks about being dead.
Matthew 8:22 (KJV)
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
This is what that means. Let the depressed bury the depressed who died spiritually AND physically.
I know this because I have been Resurrected. I was dead, and now I am ALIVE! I was depressed for almost 40 years of my life. I am 42 now. I can't say for sure when the spiritual death happened, but I was very young.
Since I have been Resurrected, I understand TRUTH. T-R-U-T-H. I hope to physically live until Jesus comes back. However, I know I will probably have my body killed doing what I am doing now. The Bible warns us about this.
The Final Day is when everyone will die physically. You have to die to be put in your new body. After all, we are just the spirit that inhabits these bodies.
TRUE BELIEF in Jesus Christ is when you are spiritually reborn. This is a part of the process of becoming a new creation in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Matthew 18:3 (KJV)
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Do you remember what it was like to be a child? You never worried about anything. You ran around and played and knew that you were going to be fed and told what to do by your parents. This is how you have to see the world again. You have to trust that you will be told what to do again by your Father, and fed by your Father. You have to learn to FOLLOW Jesus. This is a literal sense. Jesus will guide you through the Holy Spirit. You will have the Holy Spirit inside you when you TRULY believe in Jesus Christ, and He will guide you through what He wants you to do.
The Bible is essential for this because it helps you understand His will. It's like a compass. An instruction manual for you! A guide to living in your human body. That body is NOT you. That's just your vessel through which you experience this world. He wants you to be TRULY happy. God created us, so He knows how to make us happy.
Depression is death, TRUE happiness is LIFE! TRUE happiness though. Joy. The Devil can make you believe you are happy. He makes you feel happy for doing bad things. If you are his child. Have you ever watched a sad movie and felt good afterwards? That's the Devil feeding your unhappiness. You feel happy, but really you are just a little more sad. It's kind of like eating because you will get a feeling of contentment. You have to be reborn to be able to see this. To understand it. You won't believe me because I am telling the TRUTH, and it's TRUTH you don't believe in.
The Kingdom of God is within you!
Luke 17:20-22 (KJV)
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
This is why everyone misses their childhood days. This is why people are always trying to recreate good childhood memories. They are looking for the Kingdom of God. They just don't realize that. Children are of the Kingdom of God. That's what this Bible verse means:
Matthew 19:14 (KJV)
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Children are IN the Kingdom of God! Right now! It's here on Earth!!! Inside you!!!
People take the Kingdom of God away from children. Society does that. Parents are teaching their kids how to be sad. That's what they were taught. They believe that's what you are supposed to do to be accepted in society, and it is how you are accepted into society. Society is all sad. Every single person who lives IN society is sad. They are all depressed. They just don't realize it. The Devil fools you. Society is the Devil's world.
John 12:31 (KJV)
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
This verse means that Satan is the God of society. Remember, "the world" and "men" are what the Bible refers to as society.
Society is what you have to give up. This is how people can still be alive today from when Jesus Christ was here 2000 years ago. They gave up society.
Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The goal of the Devil is to convince you God doesn't exist, or that He is bad. He wants you to HATE God. That way you serve him. The way you show the Devil love is by HATING him. He convinces you he is God, and you hating God is how you love the Devil. How you LOVE God is by hating the Devil. By following God's commandments. Things are backwards. The Devil comforts your flesh. God comforts your spirit. Everything society does it to make you feel comfortable. They try to make everything easier. God makes it harder, but it is much more rewarding than comfort for your body.
THINGS ARE BACKWARDS! What did Jesus do for us? He died! He sacrificed Himself for us!!! To show us LOVE!!! He wants us to do the same thing! To SACRIFICE for others as well!
The Devil wants you to do the complete opposite. He wants you to never feel pain. He wants you to numb yourself. That's why he wants you to LIE to people. So you don't hurt their feelings. The TRUTH hurts! People HATE the TRUTH! They HATE Jesus Christ!
Accepting the TRUTH, T-R-U-T-H, is how you LOVE Jesus Christ! Accepting Him! This is HOW you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! By accepting the TRUTH! BELIEVING in Him is the ONLY way you can believe the TRUTH. I keep spelling out TRUTH because TRUTH is what I am trying to get you to see! I put TRUTH and JESUS in bold to help you see Jesus IS TRUTH.
Jesus is the cornerstone for TRUTH!
1 Peter 2:6-8 (KJV)
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
The Pharisees rejected TRUTH. They believed LIES. That's why they killed Jesus. They couldn't understand Him. He offended them because TRUTH offends people. ALL TRUTH is built upon Jesus Christ. That's why you can't believe in the TRUTH unless you believe in Jesus Christ. He is the cornerstone for TRUTH.
Think of it this way, If you don't believe 2+2=4, how will any other math work? It won't. It CAN'T! You don't believe in one of the cornerstones of math so all math comes crumbling down! This is the same with TRUTH. You can't believe in any TRUTH unless you believe the TRUTH. That's the TRUTH, so you won't believe it unless you TRULY believe in Jesus Christ. This is why it is so dangerous to be a TRUE Christian. People don't believe what you say, and they are offended by what you say. The people I have to fear the most are people who believe they are Christians. People who don't TRULY believe and call themselves Christians are the Pharisees. The Pharisees are who killed Jesus Christ. The Pharisees are who will likely kill me one day.
John 16:2 (KJV)
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
THAT'S WHY IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE A CHRISTIAN!!! It's not because of the people who don't believe, but because of the people who think they do believe!
God bless you all!
