Grammy-winning Christian gospel music singer and contestant on season 5 of American Idol died on Thursday, April 18th at the age of 47, at her home in Nashville, Tennessee.
I watched this 5 days ago live on Facebook, so heartbreaking 💔
Its nowhere to be seen now.
Where did she originally share it? I’ve not been able to find either. So it was last week?
Was it on her Facebook page?
Did “Jabooni” say something out of pocket?
@@TheWisdomCoachsClips yes
I’m watching this video now
FOR THE RECORD: This video was posted 186 weeks ago in Mandisa’s instagram Reels. Meaning, it’s from 2020 and NOT a recent “Live”, as the title and other comments have suggested. I’d really love it if people would quit spreading misinformation and let her rest. 🕊️
Thanks. I wondered that.
Thank you
Thank you for clarifying!! Much appreciated
Thank u!!
This needs to be pinned!
**LET'S GET REAL HERE**
Shall we??
When someone says they are struggling...pay attention! When they say...I am tired and I don't want to live... pay attention...when someone says, I need help, I just need a friend... PAY ATTENTION... CARE!!!! When they go dark...pay attention... When they don't want to do anything... be around others... go out, go to church, get out of bed... shower...eat....
PAY ATTENTION!!!! If they eat alot... don't eat...sleep alot... don't sleep.... take drugs... drink Alcohol.... PAY ATTENTION!!!! When they isolate.... pretend to be OK.... deny.... won't talk..... PAY ATTENTION!!
DONT DISMISS... watch what you say.... be a light in someone's dark!! Words matter! Caring matters!
Where are you "Christians"?
We say all these "pretty things" once someone is GONE!!
WHAT ABOUT SPEAKING LIFE INTO PEOPLE WHILE THEY ARE HERE???
If Mandisa took her own life.... I know she had her village who cared.... but what about the lesser known out there? Apart of me went with her.... because I KNOW FIRST HAND what it feels like to feel so done.... SO ALONE...AND SO DOES MY HUSBAND! AND MANY OTHERS CLOSE TO ME...
God... please.... help us ALL TO DO SO MUCH BETTER!!.... and God, please help me to continue to keep going myself when I don't want to alot of the time as I fight against the undercurrent of cruel humans out there!
I care.... and I want to continue to DO... and be better...
I challenge you as well...
💯amen
🙏🏼💕
Judge Lynn Tolerate has me very concerned. She's in deep grief over the loss of her husband. I believe Judge Tolerate and Man is a needed in patient mental health care and true deliverance
PREACH!!!
I agree that she took her life. That's such a sad thing. She put on a smile when she didn't like herself. Suicide is a sin regardless of how sweet she sounds!
She was trying to minister to others despite her pain. I am so sorry Mandisa❤😢❤
I worked for a church and was put in a mental hospital for depression and anxiety. The amount of people that checked on me and cared was ZERO. Guys check in your strong friends, they’re LONELY. The strong, bold ones are in it right now 🙏🏻
How are doing now.
You are right.
I'm so sorry you went through that. Shame on them for not checking on you. How are you doing now?
The church does not help sadly. They refer you to a professional. And most of us can't afford it. 😢
😢❤
How are you?
Even as she shared and is trying to inspire others , you can see the sadness in her eyes and on her face . The questions that are asked are most about her illness . She tried laughing to let us feel she’s ok but she wasn’t , she was hurting deeply. Let us keep her family in prayer.
This world will take you down. We wrestle against dark spirits. We have peace in God but can still be in despair. This child of God perhaps just wanted to go home to him. He knows our struggles. Death is a crossover to paradise. Rest in paradise child.
Right I got to see the highs and lows 😢😢not good
RIP to a beautiful beautiful soul Ms. mandisa😢 condolences to her friends and family 🕊️
😢🙏😢
We will never understand why she did this. There is so much darkness in this world.
Aww- she was talking about getting married! 😢i got married at 51- 1st time💖 Love you Mandisa! 🌹
❤❤❤❤
I’m 42 never married I hope it happens for me one day
@@peachycalmable Well- I was a single mom & I always said ' - - ' I'll probably get married when my kids are grown up! And I did! 🤔
I have been married twice and both of my marriages ended in divorce 😢 the men I married were very abusive towards me. I have such anxiety and fear around men and for years I had night mares. It will be almost 4 years since I've been divorced and I'm finally learning to love myself again and I'm not even sure I can trust another man because that fear is there that I will be hurt again. What gives me strength and helps me through my struggles is my faith in God because I know I wouldn't be here 😢 if it wasn't for him. So many Christian artists including Mandisa have encouraged me and inspired me in my walk with the Lord. When I feel down or feel defeated I always turn to k- love listening to worship music gives me the strength to keep fighting the battles that I face everyday. God never promised us a perfect life but he promised us that whatever we went through he would be there for us every step of the way. That he would never leave us or forsake us. God never left my side he made a safe passage for me and now I'm free from these men from ever hurting me again. I hate what they did to me, but I don't hate my ex-husbands I pray for them everyday that they turn back to God. I only have compassion for them. We love you Mandisa you were an inspiration to many of us. I'm so sorry you never got the chance to get married. R. I. P beautiful lady you will be missed
I dealt with depression for a year, but with God's perfect help...I am depression FREE now for 22 yrs now!!! Glory Hallelujah!!
The depths of depression is REAL and it comes up from the Bottom of HELL to pull you back down into the abyss. May she rest in peace.❤
But JESUS is GREATER..We have a responsibility to engage in warfare against the lies of Satan ,and allow GODs weapons to pull down strongholds . There is nothing too hard for GOD. Mark 4: And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Depression is Real, Talk to a therapist!!!!
VERY REAL
@@sherricason1548 absolutely!!
This death is really hurting me. Rest In Peace Mandisa. I pray that she is in heaven with the Lord and I’m praying for her family during this incredibly difficult time
She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. She'll be greatly missed.
She gone to glory? It this certified?
"There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still." ~ Corrie Ten Boone
Amen. I don't understand "joy of the Lord" in the context of this video. 🙏🏾
So true
Amen 🙏🏾
@@saintnick4035 The Joy of the Lord is our strength. Nehemiah 8:10.
I'm in the pit and I'm alone. As much as I pray and ask, He doesn't love me enough to pull me out of it. He lets others hurt me constantly. I need Him, where is He? I am in danger.
She was and is a beautiful lady, she is using that beautiful voice now to sing praises in the presence of Jesus.
I wish I could say I'm surprised over Mandisa's struggle with depression, but I'm not. It's happening everywhere and with so many people.
because we have sick society victim culture I was introduced to a white guy 42 fat depressed giving an evil woman his paycheck every week they said help him talked to him and i didn't want to be bothered too negative they said help him he said he is going to kill himself
I told him you are gone due anyway you don't need money pay me to train you you have nothing to lose just do what I tell you don't think
12 weeks later he looked like an action hero and wow miracle he wasn't depressed or suicidal no pills no therapy he gave real effort and got something done I was 100 percent not shocked at all I hate that people have been brainwashed into thinking depression is cancer and not just a doorbell that lets you know you are living wrong and need to take action.
Have you done extensive to claim this knowledge? @@tonyamartin1425
Amen so very Sad we have to stay strong trust in God and medicine 😮😢❤😇😇❤️🩹✌🏿✌🏿🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Especially in 🇺🇸 🙏🏽
@@emmalewis1979 two things slow people say.
You can literally feel the anxiety coming through the screen. By the way she’s talking you can feel her trying to mask what’s really going on inside. I pray she has found peace in her rest. 🙏🏾🕊️
In spite of her pain she was still trying to help others like herself.
Yes...a lot of masking going on...fighting mentally and I know she was holding back the tears..
Yes she is trying to hols it together..may she rest in peace !!!!!
She was Lonely 😢
So sad. I get it.
She was dealing with a death of her friend and her own depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, and societies pressures from being an African-American Women...She Definitely KNEW that Jesus LOVED HER!! However, she was flesh and blood...God KNOWS the hour...minute, second...of when WE will be called back Home...🙏🏽 🙌🏾 💐 💕...
She had a beautiful spirit. She radiates joy even though she was sad.
That isn't joy....that is pain!
Exactly‼️She was in pain trying to radiate joy, a very lonely place to be🥺
no she does not she radiates delusion you are a poor judge of character
@@tonyamartin1425YOU are a poor judge of character. Stop condemning others. This is a nasty, disgusting thing to say after someone passed away. Have some empathy and compassion as Christ did.
That's why we have to be mindful of happy happy people around us...those who make others super happy but dying inside ..I have shared my story of suicide negative voices torments ..but suicide is PRIDE EH..JUST SO YOU KNOW ITS SNEEKY...JESUS CHRIST DONT WANT ANYONE SO MUCH ON SELF GOD WARNED ME GET OFF YOUSELF ..TRUST ME..LET YOU GO ..
Most people who say they're okay, AREN'T OKAY. Love always wins. Check on the people you say you care about. Really check on them. ❤
I suffered with depression for years I even was hospitalized for depression and PTSD. God was with me the entire time, yes I suffered badly but I’m completely healed of “depression” and there is hope for all of us!
Amen! I was paralyzed and depressed I am healed
There is no such thing as being completely cured of depression. Depression is a normal occurrence but some episodes last longer for people.
@@sharonguyton9119 I’m sorry for your lack of faith sister, so your saying there is no such thing as Jesus, raising the little girl from the dead, Jesus restoring a withered hand, Jesus opening blind eyes, I understand what the “doctors” say but my personal experience with this and the SUPERNATURAL Power of God says different. I’m completely healed sis that’s why I shared this, to give witness and testimony to the unexplainable power of the living God.
@@sharonguyton9119 YOU NEED JESUS BIG TIME
Supernatural power of God is so real I also battle depression God brought me out I surrender my life to him and I no longer have lupus, and a healed sprain knee so yes anything is possible
She’s singing for the Lord now 😢loved her! Good morning is my alarm
She’s dropping lots of scripture and seemed to have all the right things in place.. The Word, worship, community, therapy, a puppy, self care. I give her credit for her self awareness and tenacity. We may never know the details but we trust that God honored her faith!!
😢😢❤
Unfortunately she didn’t have all the right things in place clearly.
As a 71 year old Christian grandmother, I know that this precious young woman is with our Lord Jesus in Heaven. Just like the human body can get sick or break down, so can the human mind. It wasn't her fault. She did nothing wrong and she was surely a blessing to many people. She fought the good fight. I am a lifelong sufferer of anxiety and depression and it is debilitating in every way but I had two children to live for and almost didn't. God welcomed her home and I look forward to seeing her in Heaven one day. She's no longer broken but has been made whole in Jesus.
Agree with you 1000 percent ❤@@patriciathomas1252
If its true she takes her own life..do one think she make it in heaven?????
Its always the people who seem the brightest and most positive that are hiding behind so many emotional struggles. Makes me want to start reaching out to those people specifically
Always. And it’s not fair
Please do!! Because sometimes you never know what we may be going thru. And even if people say they are ok, just lending yourself means a lot and we know that if need be, we could come to you.
True made me think of Twitch🙏🙏🙏
Yes correct
@@Mel84943 always overcompensating it is draining
For those saying she had fake joy, lost faith or why didn't she know God loved her....
I don't know what happened but ...
SHE WAS TIRED...She was ready to go. I'm glad No more chains are holding her. ...Praise The Lord She Is Free‼️ Rest in Peace, Mandisa🕯🕊
You are resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus. Finally you are receiving the joy n peace you have been seeking.
When you feel heavy open the windows, open the door turn on all of your lights take a chair and sit outside in the sun force yourself. Even if in your car
Just even opening the patio door helps.
Seems like a little, but it's a lot.
I suffered from depression and anxiety few years ago, sitting outside in the sun really helps. It also helps with seasonal affective disorder. Nature heals....
@@dineomolefi3059 yes definitely. I remember being so depressed . I finally took a bike ride ... it was like day and night.
I felt so sad watching that. Everything was off and all the lights were off
@@Lordpraisethe oh I m so sorry. I pray she is on the Palm of Jesus' Hand.
Amen. Falling in love with Jesus was the best that ever happened to me ❤
Mandisa is so missed. Her impact on the Christian Community has been great. I can't even imagine what her family and close friends are going through and her precious dog too. Prayers
Whoever told black people that their hair is ugly is so wrong. I think it’s beautiful!!! I love it when they wear it out. Please don’t get offended when I ask to touch it. It’s just that I think it’s so beautiful that I want to feel it. I have had many people say my hair is beautiful too and would never get offended if anyone asked me if they can touch my hair.
To all the black women out there, if this world has you hating yourself and you’re sad and depressed…this makes my heart hurt. Know you’re not alone. So many of us go through the same thing no matter what we look on the outside. We need to love each other more, Christians. Love your sisters in Christ. Love love love. So much pain we feel out in the real world and we so desperately need to feel loved by our sisters in Christ. ❤
She was beautiful in and out. And now she is wurh the Lord ❤
I remember when she was on American Idol; she had a beautiful singing voice. My condolences to Mandisa's family and friends.🕊
I'm sad to say I did not even know that she was on American Idol :-(. I thought she got her start with TobyMac and then went solo after I should say during being with him. One of my absolute favorite Christian artists! such a beautiful voice I don't know how the heck she didn't win American Idol they were obviously complete idiots.
@jellybea I didn't know she was on American idol either. I thought she was on that show on the Christian Network. I can't remember what it's called but it was a singing competition but it was on this Christian Network. I don't think it's around anymore, not TBN r35
Mandisa was a beautiful young lady. Rest in Heaven, Sista Mandisa. You willl never be forgotten.
It's sad but it's a comfort knowing she's with Jesus 🙏🏻
She was and still is BEAUTIFUL 😢
I saw her at Arena Stage many years ago. Her performance was electric! I never really followed her after that. But I am sad for her, that at 47, she is gone. Listening to her here, she seemed bubbly and articulate about the Word of God and joyful, but beneath that, I sense pain, a silent cry for help, struggle and she's trying to convince herself of how to stay strong in the Lord. I may be wrong but I also sense, she gave up on herself.
Please, my brothers and sisters, no matter how dark the day is, trust Jesus. Only He holds the beautiful future that awaits us in His time. Don't let the devil deceive you otherwise. Tomorrow WILL be better. Just believe and trust God. ❤️
Amen
Amen
Amen!
👏
Amen
I had never heard of this woman until she passed. I pray her soul is at peace. Everyone needs to prioritize their mental health and be kind.
If you can, check out her music. She has a heaven sent voice
@@amylynn2901 Thank you! I will
@@amylynn2901 Overcomer and Stronger got me through my breast cancer surgery and therapy.
@@WisconsinMom Love Overcomer!! That song got me through some dark times as well.
Me too but a lot of celebrities was posting about her this morning so I’ve been watching and looking at her.
My heart is broken, I'm going to miss hearing your voice.
I wish my kid would miss my voice
Mine too 😢
The enemy starts his warfare in our minds. Without realizing it, we’ve allowed the enemy and the world to define us when, In reality, our identity is in Christ Jesus! It’s how Eve was deceived and why this persists to this day. Although chemical imbalances and other tangible factors contribute to our mental wellbeing, I believe this is an area we have not fully surrendered to God. I’m speaking from experience- years of depression, self-doubt, self-harm fantasies… It wasn’t until I surrendered it to the one who has already overcome the world, that’s things changed. My prayer is that those of us battling the darkness of depression and other mental and emotional struggles entrust it all the one who can renew our minds for good!! Prayers for Mandisa’s friends and family. Blessings and love to you all💕
She look like she was greiving and her spirit seem very heavy here, seems like she dealt with a lot of loss and didnt jnow how to deal with it, hope shes at peace now.
So sad😥
What are you saying are you saying she committed suicide is that what you believe
@@shawbrothersgirl2740 I hope she didn't but she did say she suffers from the temptation to commit suicide on many interviews. And she began seeing a new age chiropractor where she was glorifying death. Its not that new age chiropractor encourages suicide but the demons that enter when you practice opening up to that way of thinking. And satan is what Jesus called him -a liar and a murderer.
I Agree May she Rest in Peace and Be at Peace with God.
@@shawbrothersgirl2740
I don't know, maybe she died of a broken heart. People get cardiac arrests, heart attacks and strokes when they're under a lot of stress, greiving takes a toll on the body, not only that she had weight issues which could've added to the problem.
She was too much light for the music industry they couldn't handle it beautiful woman with a beautiful voice gone but never will be forgotten 🥹💔❤️😇 !!!
Sadly, this reminds me so much of Phyllis Hyman. 😢 May they sing their duet to the Lord.🎶🎤🎤🎶 Mandisa is NOT A LOSER (what she described in her X profile)!! RIP beautiful Mandisa 🙏💔🎶🕯✝️🌈🕊
This woman struggled with her inner, depression anxiety, no husband loneliness, and she struggled with her outer, her looks hair weight all these things that weighed her down, yet she was famous, popular and loved by so many because of her talent! She loved Jesus sooo much, its clear to me she was not ment for this world!! Glory to you my king. Take your beautiful baby girl home!!! ❤❤❤
Very clear you can have all that’s in this world but that’s not what solidifies your heart because there is a world to come and most want make it there because they didn’t give Jesus the day nor the time while here. Condolences 💐
People like you are exactly the reason why she's gone. What do you mean by "she wasn't meant for this world"?! Do you know how vile and utterly evil it is to look at the preciousness of someone's one life, while you're living yours and telling them that they aren't meant for this world? Would you say that to her in real life?! Why y'all gotta make something greater about the afterlife because people struggled in real life?! People in real life deserve to live good lives! Not just a "meant for the afterlife" life. Please, be mindful of the way you speak about the dead.
I hate it that she was suddenly found checked out. I pray the truth comes out.
You made me cry 😢😭😭😭
Absolutely! That’s what was in my spirit about her. ❤
Mandisa- you are gorgeous! Inside & out! I hate that you’re not here! I was wondering what happened you. I never thought you would make it to heaven before me. You could be my daughter! Every time I listen to Not Guilty without balling, actually just thinking about it makes me cry. I wonder how many people you have won to the Lord. You are so articulate & eloquent. It’s been three days dive your passing, & I’m still crying! There is no one like you! You were a light in a dark, wicked World! He is with you is my second favorite of your many songs. I feel like someone stuck a knife in my heart! I will meet you one day, hopefully soon.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I am hurting for my sister also 😢
This is so, so timely! I just broke out the natural hair for the first time in a while in a business setting on Friday❤rocking what God gave me. I am enough.
You are MORE than enough, a precious beautiful child of the KIng :)
I feel something here and not sure if I should say-- I’m a therapist, but Christian first and the pervasiveness of anxiousness and depressive symptoms in the community of believers is alarming. God wants us well. HE wants us authentic. Yes, we have a responsibility to ourselves but more to our assignment to spread the Gospel. We're just visitors here. I pray that this is not what some of us are thinking.
Have you seen the crime rates, amount of broken families, and number of people struggling to meet ends meet? Of course a lot of people are going through things.
Can I ask your further thoughts? There’s a lot going on…
Thank you for this comment. I agree. There is a spirit of anxiousness and depression that covers the earth. I believe we are living in the last days. All of the things talked about in 2 Timothy 3 regarding the last days are here. These things affect us. But wouldn't it be wonderful if our pastors addressed this instead of what many of them do which is to continue to yap about experiencing our best lives now. Many believers have been so caught up in the things of this world and even just the business of taking care of bills - that they can't see the hope we have that Jesus is coming again soon. If there was ever a time to easily see that this world is not our home, it is now. Nothing makes sense in this world - except God did tell us the end from the beginning. We should not be unaware of what is going on in terms of the last days. We can be building up our faith under these trials so that we might be able to give a testimony and help others (believers and unbelievers) who are overwhelmed by what we see going on around us. Those in charge seem to be of unsound minds and certainly do not have the best interests of citizens in mind. But God is ultimately in charge, and He is working out His will and way for what is coming next. When we understand we are living in the last days, we can view what is happening with a completely different perspective. When we see prophecy being fulfilled, we can be energized and more determined to fight against the darkness. I am asking the Lord to prepare me for whatever assignment He has for me in these last days. It is a real battle, but better days are coming!!!! Believers are going to rule and reign with Christ during the millennium. That means we are being trained now, in these last days for our future assignment. It isn't supposed to be easy or plush. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and keep going.
Mandisa was seeing a chiropractor who was in New Age I wish somebody would have warned her . That's what I do but I didn't know Mandisa. The minute I saw that chiropractor She interviewed I knew right away I had discernment I pray she's in the arms of Jesus now . I loved her singing, I loved her joy in Jesus when she spoke his name each of us newer a different way , I did not see her on American Idol I knew her after that after she started her records what's the especially song you're an overcomer and also I was watching with my husband just this morning the video she did with TobyMac I don't want to gain the whole world Lose My Soul😢 she was so special I guess Jesus just wanted his Angel home with him. Rest in peace my beloved sister
*Rest in peace Mandisa* 🙏🕊️😢
I’m at a loss for words that we have lost this beautiful soul.
Women need to listen to God, not the world - in God's eyes we are all perfect. Rest in peace sweet lady.
If she didnt accpet jesus as her loed and savior 2hat peace she having she was in hollywood if she ran back to lird she sqve by name and blood of jesus
AMEN ❤️
Amen, he has endless words of blessings for his daughters 💜💜we are more than perfect to him
All people, not just women need to look to God!!!
@@nadirashabazz1033 I was specifically commenting on her video about women. Of course everyone should look to God.
I'm so sorry. I'm heartbroken. Her music and her message helped me through some really hard times in my life.
The thing with Christians is that we’ve been conditioned to always have this toxic dose of positivity and when life is happening and our mental health is crumbling we are required to be ‘joyful in the lord’. Before you can tap into that level of joy you need to heal emotionally and spiritually. Those things take time and healing isn’t always pretty. It’s ugly, it’s draining and it can be very lonely when people don’t have the grace to see you through those dark times. I’ve been there, suffered depression for over 10 years yet never was diagnosed as depressed because I knew how to wear my mask well. That soul crushing pain that glides slowly down your heart is soooo painful and only those that know how it feels will understand her pain. She may have committed suicide. I tried three times and failed and came to accept that life wasn’t over. I pray that she is at peace and can exhale. Rising above the pain of depression is not an easy task 🙏🏾
How is it toxic it works for many people.
Apparently, it didn’t work for Mandisa. There is no shame or judgment in Him. Amen🙏❤️
@Faircafe98, Thank you for this post. 🙏🏾 Thank you for understanding. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@beyourself2444Toxic in the context of pretending you are okay when you are not.
@@beyourself2444it also DOESNT work for many people who don’t believe in it.
Waiting for a god to come save u who never shows
Rest easy baby girl your husband came and got you! You’re his most beautiful bride Mandisa. ❤
This lady is calling out for help right here, sad that no one noticed. Sleep well beautiful soul.
Yes. Adopting the Covid puppy. A gift of unconditional love.
I am also noticing she is sitting with all her blinds closed. That may not be a reaction, but to me, it indicates possible darkness or depression.
Yeah so sad her environment even tells alot it’s dark, solemn not only that she’s alone she saying all the right things but people like this cover up by showing a strong face smiling laughing encouraging others but there was a lot of pain depression is real I pray she’s at peace ❤
9:53 🥺
The whole thing wreaks of copium and tryna look good for other people.
Per usual, in the synthetic church community.
Rest on Mandisa! You were such a bright light to this darkened world!
She was and is a child of a Loving God, who knows her loves her better than anyone. I feel confident she's with Jesus now.
Amen
Amen🙏🏼
Suicide the s murder. I was always taught that you cannot deliberately k:!! yourself and go to heaven. This is so sad if that's the case . She seemed to be so in to God but how was she able to not get deliverance? Wow 😳
@@user-em5mz3om1x right
Her hair looks so healthy and pretty 😊
Well... Hair can be deceiving...
@@teresaminton4874 huh...u r weird ....kick rocks!
Loved her. She needed to understand that her curly kinky hair being opposite of the perceived "acceptable" or "beautiful" long silky hair is not an affront to black women. We can all feel that we dont measure up to what society says the benchmark is. As a white woman with a gigantic nose, I have always felt my share of not measuring up. But now in my 50s, I realize that this is the nose God created for me and He likes it, so I should too. Black people don't corner the market on "flaws". We all have those feelings...if we allow them.
Her music inspired me , when I was struggling with my weight loss journey. Did my cardio with OVERCOMER.
You can see the hurt in her eyes. She was trying to encourage others in spite of her own struggles. Please continue to pray for her family and friends. Mental illness is real.
Yes, it is I thank God I am walking into freedom. Have a blessed day guys ❤👏🏽
I see from the comments people encouraging support to others which is great. However, I think a lot of us are so broken that we’re unable to find the desire or strength to be of support to someone else. It’s easier to say Jesus is enough or I’d rather be alone etc. when in reality, we do need each other. We do need someone by our side just to talk, to smile with, to touch, to hear take breaths just like it’s meant for humans to interact. So until we step outside of ourselves, people will continue to suffer alone and unfortunately will die alone. From someone who’s been dealing with and, still struggles with what we now know as depression, I’ve been on this journey since I was a teenager and I don’t know how I’m still here. I’m not sharing this for pity. I’m sharing this to help others understand what this really looks like. I’m very bubbly and I get told that I’m fun to be around. I have the brightest of smiles and can make someone else’s day a brighter one. Behind closed doors, it’s a hell hole for me. It’s dark. It’s a sunken place. It’s a hopeless place. It’s a sad yet comfortable place. It’s a lonely place. It’s a helpless place yet I wear a smile when I’m in public and that’s how I conceal my real pain. As a result, it’s hard for others to understand that I’m struggling internally. Every day I have to intentionally choose not to be pushed over the edge. I reassure myself daily that I won’t do anything that I’d regret. It’s a constant effort to be here and I keep telling myself I’m not going to take the easy way out. So what I will ask you guys is in your day to day life, please stop and say hello to one person. Ask someone, what can I do today to make you smile? Make eye contact, share a simple smile. Sometimes just your presence is good enough. A lot of us are walking around in a country with millions of people and yet we feel isolated and alone. I look at the birds and cattle and can’t help but to admire the way they are together in flocks or droves. They understand that there is strength in numbers. Then when I look at my fellow humans, I’m extremely saddened by the lack of care and concern towards each other. Mandisa isn’t here any longer. She’ll be greatly missed. How many Mandisas can we go find and share our time with? Let’s start with Judge Lynn Toler. I see a lot of my struggles through her posts so I know alls not well. Please surround our sister with love and not send any vitriol even when she says something that’s off. Instead, be patient and kind to her and all who we come into contact with, even when you think they’re undeserving of your grace. It’s then it’s most impactful!
Well said! God bless you!
7:27 i am the same feel i want to be support for depression anxiety we should not struggle alone at home it is dark for me too even being married
Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes.
“You never really know a person until you understand things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Sadly, I can relate to all the you’re saying. ❤
Depression is real, and many do suffer silently! As children of God, we need to be there to encourage each other and spend real time with each other. Human connection are divine and essential in our walk as believers in christ. It's how we share the light through the walk and the talk with each other and sharing his compassion and His love by human connection! I enjoy technology but we went from convenience to literally progressively replacing the human connection. Im an 80s baby I remember calling people on the phone and going outside to make new friends and going out in public and people would smile at you speak and acknowledge you to now mostly everyone is scrolling on their phones ignoring each other. To connect with someone virtually or an idea of connection or information! We are missing the human connection we need to thrive and survive. I believe she went early and there was still a lot to overcome but we that are still here let us challenge ourselves to be present and intentional with our human connection,we could change a life who could change their family and even the next generation ❤️ 💙 ❤that is letting our light shine ✨️
You don’t have to respond to everything. Sometimes you just pray. What a good word Mandisa. Thank you sweetheart ❤️
She passed luv!😢
This reminds me of the saying: Go private before going public!! Another words talk to GOD first🙏
I feel so sad. So sad💔
As someone who was in that "I'm really done now...I'm on the verge of checking out" place (almost a year ago), I didn't internalise the Scripture that names depression as a "tormenting spirit" until that moment. I'd always found that reference grossly dismissive of what depression truly is. But in 2023, I GOT it, got it. Depression is a tormenting spirit that thrives when we're alone & being spun in the tumble dryer of the VERY REAL experiences that underlie (and opened the door for) it.
I don't know what to say, except that life happens to all of us 💔
She's was so beautiful, and I'm sad she left so early, but I pray her soul finds peace and is safe. God rest her soul ✝
Mandisa was absolutely beautiful. I don't think anything is more disturbing--- soul shattering--- than being beautiful... inside and out... and being unable to honestly, humbly recognize and TRULY embrace it.
She tried but that was a misguided venture. She failed to embrace what she should have…it’s all about Him not us.
@@gj5990 Just from the few interviews I saw of her, that's all she talked about, yet she seemed to die still struggling. Self-love is never a misguided venture... not as children of the Most High; we have an obligation to respect the unique packaging we were created in.
@@HSR-bk5qb self love is not the goal. God says to love God then our neighbors. Never is there a command to love ourselves. We have a problem with too much focus on ourselves.
I' prsonally believe what the bible meant is that it's alright to love what God created which is US. Just don't get carried away with it and overlove yourself esp over God. @@gj5990
@@gj5990”Love your neighbor as you love yourself”
Mark 12: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
This is sad to watch because I see this as a cry for help. I was reading the comments, and so many people are commenting on her beauty and her spirit, but what many people fail to realize is that depression is real. It happens to anyone regardless of their looks and personality! Many people don't realize that the ones who are viewed as the "strong friend," "the people pleaser," and "life of the party" are the ones who deal with high depression. I think the message from this video is that anyone struggling in silence should seek help immediately. As someone who has been called the "strong friend", it is easy to be there for others, but being a strong friend can be a letdown when you don't have people to be there for you when you are in need. Hence, it is important to establish better support systems that check in more often, and this is why I tell people to check in specifically on their strong friends. RIP Mandisa, and condolences to her family.
Exactly folks are blind smh!😒😏
Depression and anxiety is real. It truly is. I am in a valley myself, but coming out.
Praying for you
Praying for your strength and prace6
If anyone has a spirit of heaviness, know that for a spirit of heaviness God gives us a garment of praise. Isaiah 61:3
RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY
Beautiful Mandisa, you will be truly missed by me and others. I know just how depression and anxiety feels, because im dealing with it as well as loneliness. I was in the ER with chest pains and high blood pressure because of it. Stress can kill you, also being very grief stricken. I don't believe she unalived herself. I have thought about suicide in the past, but God delivered me from those thoughts. I pray to God to remove the anxiety im dealing with.
Rest in The Father's arms, sweet Mandisa. ❤
I hear you sister, why can't people believe that God knew her struggles in life,he heard and saw every tear she cried, and God just said enough my child , time to come home, no more crying.Welcome Home.
Sister, God would never approve of someone killing themselves. That is out of His character as God. He created us fearfully and wonderfully. He gave us breath. LIFE eternal.
You are right , suicide is not of God.
Go home girl, live your eternal life with your eternal king!!! Happy for you, congratulations, sista!! ❤❤❤
Christ in me is to live and to die is gain!! Jesus is enough!!
@@muneyidenis1567 amen sister
Hallelujah 🥹
Hallelujah ✝️
We shouldn't jump to conclusions about her death. The joy of the Lord was hers, is hers, and always will be. ❤🙏❤❤
My heart is sadden RIP dear mandisa... i lost my brother 💔 to covid2020...i struggle with fear n anxiety attacks couldnt leave the house without having an attack 😪 i cry myself to sleep cry to God in the valley.. there was alot of why God??? We pray for healing but my brother died, in my healing in my quiet time with THE LORD PRAY to JESUS and after days of seeking The Lord Jesus spoke to me; i answered your prayers HEALED him and took him HOME..my brother LOVE to sing he was a worshipper just like mandisa and today they are both in THE KINGS presence FOREVER..UNTIL WE MEET again CHEO9 my brother you will be FOREVER in my ❤️ heart..😢
I’m so sorry for your loss!! God is our strength and light in this dark world as we are only passing through. 🙏🏻
Truly❤
Sorry for your loss. Sometimes the healing is on the other side and not in this world. I lost my baby brother to cancer and he too was a worshiper/praise team member who was a father to an 18 month old son. I fasted and prayed for over a month for his healing but God had other plans. I was heartbroken and saddened for years. I felt like God had let me down. I didn't think I would ever get out of the dark hole I was living in but I'm still here and serving the same God. Before he died he said it was God's will but it took me years to accept that.
Receive strength in the Lord 🙏🏻
Condolences for your loss. The stress of loss and PTSD can cause depletion of vitamin B1 which can show up as anxiety attacks and depression. So, supplementing with B1 can help relieve those symptoms.
Many many prayers lifted for this beautiful woman's family 🙏💔
Why has almost everyone, surmised this woman took her own life because she shared at times she feels depression? Don't we all as humans get depressed at some point? Thats why sometimes people dont want to talk, as when you share your struggles you are judged negatively by the masses. Could she not have died of something totally unrelated .let's stop judging
Let's Hope So!
I agree I’m getting tired of seeing posts where she’s taken her own life and I don’t believe it and I’ve asked someone very close to her and she did not take her own life and I wish these keyboard warriors would step away from the keypads and stop posting this hurtful nonsense
That's right 🙏🏽🪽💜
@MikkiGayle The thing is I just found this out an hour ago. I immediately felt in my soul that this is not a suicide. I was not even familiar with her music or appearance on American Idol. I looked over the clips and the condolences from people in the industry. I watched this video and I just have a strong feeling there wasn't a suicide here. May God rest her soul. 🙏
I agree 💯. She had the living hope of Jesus Christ!
I just found out about her and I don’t know how she passed but watching this she is deeply sad and trying to hang on to God Word.
Her cause of death has not been released
My sweet sister.. I know that you are walking on the streets of gold with our Jesus singing praises to his name with your new name and your white robe and the White Rock.. thank you my sister for sharing your beautiful voice and Ministry to us it will never go unnoticed thank you for the song overcomer.. we love you my sister and we will see you again and have an our true home. Well done my good and faithful servant. 😭🙏🇨🇦
People don’t realize that they will say she committed suicide and it’s probably Not. There are very bad people in the music industry even in the Christian movement.
Thank you, Mandisa, for sharing your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is everything we need, the Joy, the Peace, the Love! He was even her husband, He answered that call. Fulfilling every need and every desire. What a true treasure to be able to watch what was her final "Live". She even prayed for the individual who commented negatively. So much to learn from this woman of God who lived for Christ! To God be the glory. 🙌🏽
So sad, she was such a beautiful person. Gone much too soon. My condolences to her family, may she rest in peace. So sorry we never got to see her get married, she really wanted that some day.
What happened to her
@@Lindsey396 ...The cause of death is not yet out it is under investigation. I know she has been suicidal for a long time. She speaks about it in her book. She was supposed to meet someone on Thursday for a meeting and she never showed and she wasnt answering calls, so they contacted her family for someone to go check on her and they found her dead.
@@mariemazzo896 wow that is so sad,
What an amazing woman. What an amazing life! She has left a rich-Faith legacy in the few years of her precious life. "Well done good and faithful servant Mandisa" Well done!
I love you, Mandisa. The world went a little dimmer without you.
i saw her live when she was a back up singer for Travis Cottrell. I don't know why but her death has touched me so very deeply
I so look forward to seeing her beautiful face and smile when I get to Heaven! Now she is more real than before...if that’s even possible!
Yes, it's possible! She was alive and then all of a sudden, she was more alive!! In the Presence of Jesus ❤
What a gracious loving person. God keep her soul ❤🙏🏾❤
I have been dealing with this kind of thing professionally for over 30 years, from a Christian perspective. It’s obvious that she took her own life. But the judgmental people who say she can’t be in Heaven are cruel and ignorant. A Clinical, Chemical Depression can hit anyone. When you’re brain chemistry is off at times, you don’t think clearly or make good decisions. I know. I’ve been there. I was diagnosed in 1990 and will be on antidepressants for the rest of my life. God takes everything into consideration in cases like this.
“Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?”
Genesis 18:25
For those who are suspecting self harm, I don’t see it. She sounds victorious in spite of her circumstances!
Yes! I agree💖
Especially as a believer
That doesnt mean thing. There is something off about this smh.
Rest in peace Daughter of God..... Your passion is united with that of Jesus Christ.... Thank you so much.....
I feel for you, Mediusa: Grammy award winner. I ended up in a Mental Health Care rehab hospital from church life. And most Christians I knew do not care about you at all. If you have a clinical breakdown. And I have major Anxiety Deep Depression. You are a wonderful soul. And you will be in the eternal Heaven up above. You are going to be in the Light of True Grace. You are a Light in the Heaven sky now. Peace and Rest. Go with the accepted Light.
One of my younger besties passed away from breast cancer a few years ago 😢and I really believe she was going to overcome and beat it! She passed away not even a year after diagnosis, and I took that thing hard, became angry, but got thru it. Part of me felt she didn't fight😢hard enough, but I repented and healed. Most of all, I leaned on the Most High.. I was hurt, and it was ok to grieve, and that's what I did.. I miss her so much, but I believe she is at peace and with The Lord❤. She left behind three handsome boys..
I remember watching mandisa on america idol way back when she was very young. The industry is brutal. Mandisa was a beautiful person.
A LOT of young, seemingly healthy, PPL suddenly dying at home, however, the vast majority of them are not by Suicide. RIP Mandisa.
Offed or the 💉
Exactly that thing people were manipulated to take several times
No weapon against thee shall prosper. Even if the flesh dies, our soul lives! I pray against the 💉 weekly.
Yes I lost my 32 year old cousin last month. Went to sleep sis not wake up. Lord help us all 🙏🏾
For seemingly healthy young people to die suddenly its generally for a few reasons- self caused, accidental overdose, being drugged or unalived by someone else(for various reason- accidental, pre-planned, or someone put a hit out on them) A lot of young singers, media influencers, actors/actresses are being found dead and its not by coincidence. Many say they are dealing with the same things as Mandisa said- isolation, depression, loneliness, severely anxiety, etc.. When that cry for help comes folks often ignore it instead of intervening and getting them help😢
I am so heartbroken Mandisa will be so missed what a beautiful person inside and out💔she’s singing in heaven with the Angels
She was smiling but you can hear sadness. Man, I'm sorry for her loss. I pray she has peace with the Father in heaven.
Man, what a beautiful soul. She showed us how to walk thisblovr walk out. She endured so much grief and heartache, but God! She was helped by Him. I pray she is with the Father, rejoicing in His presence. For to be absent from the body in Christ, is to he present with the Loed. I will miss her and im jist so sad about this beautiful soul leaving us far too soon😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧😫❤️🩹
Her Song overcomer got me through some very hard days in my life... It was my anthem... I am saddened and just add to on to what she said about the spirit of heaviness hovering around us- its all true, there's anxiousness and its carrying with it some hopelessness with it.. i have been feeling it.. the worst for christians in ministry because of the expectations we have on them- i went through an attack that came about as anxiety some years back and one evening i cried to God and told him i couldn't go on. I begged for it to go away and i called on thr holy spirit to fill me and thr feeling immediately dissipated- i thought my battle was finished and i was free only to wake up from a severe spiritual attack early morning- i was scared and mad at the same time- i spend that day questioning the reality of God and his power- days, weeks have turmed to years since that early morning attack- i prayed it away, i went for prayers and nothing changed- i gave up hope and seriously thought of ending it... But somehow i still hold on- i remember Paul's thorn in the flesh- and i keep on moving- its not easy- these are strange and challenging times we live in- we need to pray.. when unsble and weakened we just need to hold on to Jesus... I just keep calling out his name till the storm passes... May she rest in peace...
I totally relate with this message but confused about how did she die? Did she take her life? She is very hoarse sounding. Is she laughing through her major pain or what? What happened
She seemed like such a beautiful soul. I know she struggled with weight and depression. And grief of her friend. That would do it. I know she’s at peace now.
My daughter loved Mandisa and also struggled with depression she used to say when she was having a pedicularly bad day Mandisa would come on the radio and it would be your an overcomer and it would lift her up and she would be able to go on.My daughter was 31 when she went home and I believe that her and Mandisa have met and are already good friends.
My daughter and I used to listen to her "hits" on K-Love when she was younger. I had not listened to her lately but went to her page and saw that she had published a book, remixed her songs, and spoken on various platforms about her struggles and how God was her strength and Holy Spirit was her comforter.
So sad that she is no longer here to share her light but I will just view her in glory enjoying 75-degree, sunny weather, free, from the cares of this world.
Broken Hallelujah by her is such a beautiful song🥺
That is one of my favorite songs of hers! So powerful ❤
In spite of her ministering, and encouraging us, she was in pain.
Her words of encouragement, was truly an inspiration.
May her soul rest in peace!
What a strong Christian female.
We need to get rid of that “strong” trope. It doesn’t help when you are weak.
@@SISTAGURL Isn't the OP trying to be sarcastic?
@@beyourself2444Hopefully. Otherwise... yikes.
@@ginadellgrottaglia6897Either way, yikes.
@@spongebobmiscellaneous Yeah. Really.
Depression is so hard and so incredibly painful to watch. She is deeply disturbed in this video and not in a safe state of mind. I feel so sorry for her and her family, I hope that they are able to find peace
I remember her from American Idol. She was a natural talent and beauty. My sincere condolences go out to all of her Family, friends and fans. 🙏🏽🕊
I feel for her because I battled with depression every day some days are ok and some days is a struggle but i hold on to my faith in God, I hope she is at peace praying for her family ❤❤❤
Romans 8:28- And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Keep holding my sis, and please look to God for a way out because with every problem we have, God's will is to either miraculously deliver us or to guide us to the solution if we ask. We just have to do our part by keeping our eyes fixed on him and by standing firm in the faith. Again, look to him for the solution. Keep knocking, and it will be open onto you(Matthew 7:7,8). There is a way out.❤
Also, hold onto this scripture it got me through some tough times.
Jerimiah 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
