Do You Fear Death?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     I'm not a Theologian, but Daddy (God) has given me a common sense mind - even if some think I'm crazy (lol) - the world does anyway.
     I've loved the Lord since I was about 3.  In fact, I wanted to be a nun, as for that, it took Daddy  27 years to get me back.  PTL - He did.  We were all born for this time, with a purpose.  There are 5 different ministries, He'll use us for, all listed in Ephesians 4:11-13.  In verse 12 we see WHY, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service".  So we can help our brothers & sisters when needed, or verse 13, until we all attain the belief and unity in Jesus and become mature in that."
     He continues to reveal Himself in so many different ways, I know He's never left me, because He's not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19).  It assures me to know that.
     The definition of "DEATH" is when our "spirit leaves our body", Jesus called it sleeping (John 11:11).   So, death is our spirit leaving, not our body, so our body dies, but our spirit does not.  We live Forever.  And we're promised;  "we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8).  So why should we fear what's coming?  Unless you've never given your life to Christ?  Think about it - Greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world - PTL!
     Redemption is easy to receive; 1) ASK the Lord to forgive you, for you have sinned against God and man.  2) ASK Him into your heart to change whatever is unpleasing to Him.  3) ASK Him for the baptizim of the Holy Spirit.  Then just praise Him for accepting you into the Family of God, He's waiting for you and the angels are rejoicing you ASKED!  (John 3:16-18).
     Many claim Christianity; because they went to church, because their parents were Christian, because they live a moral life, or just in case the Bible is right, etc.  But unless you ASK Him into your heart, it won't matter.  You WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!  YOU MUST have a cleansed (changed) heart and there must be change in you life to reflect that change.  The Bible is very specific; God searches the mind and heart when His children ASK, (Revelation 2:23).  If you're not sure, I'd ask again to be sure, by ASKing the 3 steps above.
     It's normal to grieve for a loved one who sleeps.  I still think of my grandparents on both sides and my parents.  But now, knowing they're in Heaven with Jesus our Lord, I have the assurance of being with them young and vibrant for eternity.  So I rejoice for them and eagerly await my time to see them and my Lord.
     This may sound strange to you, but I believe our spirits come from Heaven, because the angels were once called "Sons of God" till the fall and we were created by Daddy now called "Sons of God" (Romans 8:14).  The only difference is we have to choose, freely to spend eternity with Daddy and our Lord Jesus, unlike the angels, Hebrews or Jews, created for Abba Father.  Daddy breathed life (spirit) into Adam.
     You only have one other option, eternity in hell and there won't be any virgins waiting for you, no parties, drugs, and the worst - NO EXITS just your body abused for their lusting pleasures!  Anyway, that death we don't want!  Since our Soul NEVER DIES, do you know where yours will go?
     My purpose for this word was to comfort my Brothers & Sisters who have been, and are being martyrs for Christ in the Middle East.  Keep in mind Revelation 6:9-11
9  "And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10  and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11  "And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow–servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course."  For they will be justified!  This may sound terrible, but what you're going through, for your stand with Jesus, America is starting to go through it too.  Christians are on the presidents and homeland security radar now.  And praying for you, gives us an advantage of Luke 6:38 to claim when it gets as bad for us.
     Know that our prayers are always with you to be comforted, your family needs met and your crowns prepared of; Life (James 1:12), Righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8) and Glory (1 Peter 5:4).  That we will throw at the throne of Jesus (Revelation 4:10-11)

     I'll close this with a specific prayer for you, all nations & all prodigals.

     Abba Father, I would ask that You would lift the veil off those in trouble or in pain.  Please give them the revelation they need to get through each day.  (Jeremiah 33:6)
     For Godly people to be in their pathway each day to bless them.  (Romans 12:14, 1 Corinthians 4:12)
     I would also ASK that the Holy Spirit hovers over them and protects them.  (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
     That You would cast down anything in them that exalts itself against the knowledge of You Abba.  (2 Corinthians 10:5)
     I would ask Your angels to take down any and all known strongholds, thought patterns, opinions on religion, materialism or fear.  (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
     According to Your Word, I would BIND satan from taking them captive and to BIND all wicked thoughts and lies satan would try to place in their mind.  (Matthew 18:18)
     Finally, I would ask that You cover them as they dress themselves with Your Armor so You would be with them.  (Ephesians 6:11-13)
     In Jesus Name, and by His Blood I would ask these things, for my Brothers and Sisters around the world.  (John 14:13)
Amen & Amen  (So be it - Let it be.)

Blessings to you and your families.

The Lord's Servant
