You Will Not Commit Suicide!

This powerful testimony tells the story of Sherry, a woman who hit rock bottom but found hope in the most unexpected moment. Just as she prepared to end her life, a voice from a Campmeeting broadcast pierced the darkness with the words: “You will not commit suicide.” What followed was a divine encounter that changed everything.

On the brink of ending her life, Sherry heard a powerful word from God that changed everything.

Sherry never imagined her life would spiral this far out of control. At age 34, after years of trying to hold her marriage together with an unsaved, alcoholic husband, she finally walked away—only to find herself trapped in the very addiction she had despised.

“For 16 years, I struggled with addictions and toxic relationships with men,” Sherry says. “I also destroyed my relationships with my mother and children, and I was physically malnourished and spiritually empty.”

The pain became unbearable. One day, unable to face another moment of hopelessness, she called in sick to work. With trembling hands, she swallowed a handful of pills, grabbed a knife, and prepared to end it all.

But just as she was about to go through with it, something deep inside her broke. Through tears, she let out a desperate cry: “God, please help me if You can!”

Suddenly, Sherry heard a voice coming from an Inspiration Ministries Campmeeting broadcast – even though she hadn’t even been aware that her TV was on. Amazingly, the speaker said …

“You will not kill yourself today!”

Sherry was dumbfounded. “I sat straight up in bed, and the buzzing high from the amphetamine pills quickly evaporated, making it possible for me to focus my attention on the minister preaching on the screen,” she recalls.

Seeming to point directly at Sherry, the minister said again: “You will not commit suicide today, because you are a precious child of the Most High God!”

Recognizing that this word was for her, she responded and said: “Okay. I choose to live!”

Though she chose not to end her life that day, Sherry knew she couldn’t face the road ahead alone, and desperate for answers, she cried out once more: “If You want me to live, how can I face all the struggles and addictions in my life?”

In the stillness, she sensed a clear yet gentle response: “I will be with you.”

Those words became her turning point. From that moment on, Sherry clung to the promise that God was faithful, and she wasn’t alone. Today, she is free from addiction, her health is restored, and her relationships with her mother and children have been healed.

“I’m grateful for the impact Inspiration Ministries and your partners have had on my life,” Sherry says. “Now the Lord is dealing with me to sow back into the good ground of your ministry. As God has blessed me, I want to be a blessing to others!”
