To be with a person who is "not in Christ" when at deaths door is a "Horrific"experience. There is no hope . there is no Promise fulfilled There is no light at the end of the tunnel. They believed in "none" of these things
But to be at the bedside with one of Gods beloved is a "Glorious"experience.
Death is not natural for it is Gods scriptural promise to " live and not die" Gods judgement came because of Adam and Eve's "Sin" and disobedience which altered mankind. "Gods gift of redemption through "His Son "Jesus"gave us the opportunity to "Choose" once again to have " Life and Salvation "offered to us once again! Halleluiah !!!
Without Gods "Grace" through "Jesus Christ" We would all be hopelessly "Doomed"to "HELL""and its sentence for all "Eternity".
I remember when I was a small child I saw in an old "look" magazine an artists painting of "Hell" it was shocking to see a full two page spread of sinners falling into this enormous burning "PIT".I never forgot that picture it was deeply Seared" into my heart and mind even till this day. I can see it now in my minds eye The "Horror" on each face still penetrating my heart wondering why they didn"t simply give their hearts to Jesus and live! as they were falling into "Hell" there was such dire hopelessness as a living death awaited them.
I believe the Lord had intended for me to remember and keep this huge two page spread hidden in my heart so that in the days that lie ahead as a teenager I would stay far away from sin. And It worked! When many of the peers I grew up with were getting involved with drugs alcohol, and whatever else, I chose to say no!
but more importantly I see today that He wanted me to know and feel the agony and reality of SOULS" going to "Hell" "WHY" because they loved "Sin" more than they loved "Jesus". But there are also many who just haven't been told about His love for them. So in the "Arena" "God has given to me in life its my "Honored Opportunity" to be able to reach as many souls as I can.
Which reminds me of a movie that came out a while back that gained great popularity because of its unusual content it wäs called "Ghost" In the movie the "villains" were both killed for the evil acts they committed. Within just seconds the demonic forces of evil "hideously" crept onto the scene with "Blood curdling""Howe-ling" to capture and take them to be tortured within their prisons in the dark pits of "Hell. Just the sound of their "Screeching and Screaming" made the audience sink down deep into their seats as "Icy Cold " chilling fear ran down their spines. The "Black Ghosts" were so well done and so believable everyone will look at "Evil Spirits" with new and "Horrifying" reality!
But there is a better way, a better "Choice" death is robbed of its terror for the sincere believer in Christ Jesus. Those that love and live for Jesus will "never" experience the above. We shall only experience "Peace and Love" Just as the beggar we read in the bible about named "Lazarus" He was not only escorted but carried to heaven by heavenly angels we too will be escorted in the same way. There are so many hundreds of accounts recorded of the heavenly angelic escorts at the time of death. And the most Powerful of all is the " Resurrection of Jesus Christ"! Jesus "Rose"into heaven showing us the way ! which assures us as we ask "Him" into our hearts and live for "Him" safe passage to heaven and "Eternal" life is ours!! Halleluiah!!.
During our time of the loss of a loved these same angels, these angelic emissary's are near to us to comfort an bring peace to sustain us.
He has promised us the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness. Isaiah 61:3
Corinthians 5:8 Paul also says to us to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
As our Angelic escorts come to take us "Home" to be with the Lord and to be with our cherished loved ones it will mean abounding and everlasting Joy "Forever"!
A Homecoming and life of no more sickness, pain, disease, fear, sadness, heartache. In exchange for a life of love eternally with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Our King of Kings!!
Take time today to thank and Praise "Him" our "Jesus" for all He has sacrificed for us to have when we accepted d"Him" into our lives.
And if you haven't asked "Jesus" to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart do it "TODAY"
You can "Repeat" this simple "Heartfelt Prayer"
Jesus, I ask you to take my sins away, cleanse me all all Unrighteousness,and Sin
As you do this for me. I now ask you to "Come into my Heart and live" in and through me.
I will find a good bible teaching Spirit led "church or ministry" and begin my life with you.
Help me to find the people to help me grow and love you with all my heart. Also help me to read the new testament in the bible daily starting with the book of "John" which will fill me with your love and deeper understanding of your love for me.
I now "Thank You" Lord for now I am "Born Again" into your Kingdom.
I praise "God"! for you shall see "God" in heaven one day! Please contact me so I can "Rejoice" with you. And also add you to my prayer list!
