Read a posting, Appointment with Death - Cancelled; How a devout community prayed for healing for gentlemen name George had stage 2 cancer. How prayers healed this man and he is now cancer free.
Scripture says we are born, than death, and than Judgement. Death is inevitable its a matter of time and only God knows that appointed time. It may seem bizarre or morbed to think about death, yet I can truthfully say
I no longer fear death.
Years ago I feared death, I don't think its death that I feared, my fear was I am not ready and my soul would be in forever darkness. The one question that seem to plague my mind and why I feared Death; was "Is my name written in the book of life." "
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
In the last 10 years I have been seeking God, learning, growing, working at drawing closer God. The ultimate goal is to have an intimate relationship with God.
When growing up my parents were very involved in Church, later they fell away. Yet they were persistant and made sure that we went to church. Later my parents return to their first love.
God brought this scripture to mind; Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. At that young age God was not a real person and Jesus was story book character.. I knew of God but I did not know him, Its an odd statement yet true. As I got older it became God became real only when I need him, It was "God in a box" that I took out on, Special Occasion, and on Sunday's, and when I was in trouble. When all went well, back in the box it went.
Now that I am older the realization Word of God has become exciting, alarming, sad at times, awesome and it comes to life. Scripture that I learned when I was younger I now understand, through God's divine wisdom.. Matthew 6:33 But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
God wants us to be doers of the word and not just hearers. To have Christian like attitudes in all things. Thank You Lord for your strength, in Jesus name amen..
