BIRTH ... LiViNg ... DEATH + PRAYER: Father, We Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!

... And So We Have The Question:
What Is It Like In The Grave!?!

The Book Of Job Has A Great Definition
That Totally Answers That Question!

KJV Job 3

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

Before We Continue
Just Remember That We Have An Adversary
Who Does Not Want Us To Believe
The Living Word Of God!

Please Understand This:
Satan Is Not A Man
And 
You Are Not His Equal

But

He Ever Has ... In His Corrupt Mind
The "Can't-Fail" Plan

And

He Lies

And

He Murders 

And

He Spreads Deception 

Like Autumn's Falling Leaves
And

He Desperately Hates You

Whom Jesus Christ The Righteous Lord

Sacrificially Loves!

He Tried Valiantly To Destroy Job!

KJV Job 2

4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Okay, Brethren!

Don't Ever Forget This:

Only Jesus Christ The Lord

Stands Between Us And Certain Death

At The Malicious Hands Of Our Adversary!

Satan Desperately Wants Us To Curse God And Die
And 
By Vindictive Choice
Sin And Suffering Are His Tools To Accomplish
His Dastardly Mission! 
By Bold Contrast
Salvation And Healing Are The Domain Of Almighty God! 

Almighty God Lovingly Creates! 

Satan Callously Destroys! 

Many Of Us Blame The Lord For What Satan Does 
And 
Refuse To See That 
Without The Lord's Restraining Hand 
To Limit Satan's Destructive Power
We Would Die! 

Satan Is Liar

Murderer

And

Salvation Thief!

Jesus Christ Is Truth, Light
And
Life ... Abundant Life ... Now
And
Eternal Life ... In The Fullness Of Time
So Let's Stay With Our Hearts Fixed Upon The Lord Jesus 
And 
Be Ever Safe 
No Matter Our Present, Trying, Painful, Circumstance! 

Jesus Christ Always Saves ... And He Loves You
So Trust His Perfect Love 
And Not 
Your Skewed By Carnal-Sight Logic!

Now, On To The Other Matter ...

The State Of The Dead!

A Young Lady Was Visiting Her Newborn
Now-Deceased Son's Grave
And
I Heard The Lady Say That
She Was Glad That She Had Placed Him
Where He Was In The Cemetery
That He Would Not Be Alone
That He Would Have His Grandparents Around Him
That He Would Hear The Trains Passing
And
He Would Have Others To Play With:
My Heart Just Sank Within Me!

Dear God, Please Help Us!

How Much Longer, Father!?!

Good Question ... And We Really Need Help!

How Many Times Are We Going To Have To Have
This Same Conversation!?!
Are We Believers In The Holy God Or Not!?!
Do We Trust The Living Word Of God Or Not!?!
When Are We Going To Set Aside Satan's Fables
And 
Trust What The Lord Of Life Has Said To Us:

The Dead Know Nothing!
Their Loves And Hatreds Die With Them!
They No More Have A Portion Among The Living

And

For Good Measure
Refusing To Humble Ourselves In Our Sorrow
Before The Throne Of Grace
And, Instead
Trusting To Lying Fables To Cope With Heart Pain
Is Not 
Going To Fix Anything!

It Is Just Making Things Inordinately Worse
And
We Are Leaving Ourselves Open
To Satanic Delusion, Deception
And
For Fallen Angels, Demons, Evil Spirits
To Assume The Form Of Those Whom We Had Loved
- Who Are No Longer In The Realm Of The Living -
And
To Come Into Our Presence In Their Guise!
Fallen Angels Have That Unholy Power!

People Better Recognize!

This Is Dangerous, Devilish
And
It Is Placing All Who Do This 
Squarely In Satan's Domain
And
Under His Dominion!

The Dead Are Asleep ... In Their Graves!

Indeed!

Despite Popular Conversation
And
Regularly Trotted-Out, Lying, Sermonizing
They Are Not In Almighty God's Heaven
Nor Are They In Prepared-For-Satan Hell!

The Dead Are At Rest In Their Long Home
In Their Dusty Beds:
The Living God In His Eternal Word
Has Plainly Said That This Is So!

We Have A Future!
We Have A Hope ...

According To The Word
There Is No Sorrow That Heaven
That Is, The King Of Glory
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Creator God
Our Hope, Help And Salvation
Our Great Physician
Cannot Heal!

Brethren,

If You Are Finding Yourselves 
Struggling With The Loss Of A Loved One
The God Of All Grace
Has Personally Invited Us ... You And Me
To Come Boldly To His Throne Of Grace
To Find Help In Our Time Of Need!

When We Choose To Lean On Ourselves
Instead Of Upon The Eternal God Holy
We Become Our Own God
And
We Commit Sin!

Please Do Not Do This: It Doesn't Help
And
It Always Hurts!
In Truth And In Fact 
It Inordinately Hurts
Because
The Lord Of Life Has Plainly Also Said
That He Will Not Share His Glory With Another
So That Leaves You On Your Own:
That's Not A Good Residence 
For A Known Sin-Weakened Human!

If You Are Your Own God
You Cannot Expect To Receive Help From
The True And Living Holy God!

Let Us Humble Ourselves
And
Submit Our Will And Our Way
To The Lord Of Life Who Loves Us
And
Let Us Bid Him ... Humbly
To Do For Us
What None But The Holy God Can Do
And
That Is ... Save Our Souls!
We Need To Bid Him To Be The Lord Of Our Lives!

Brethren,

We Are Already Being Told By Some Very Evil Physicians
That The Dead Live For Hours After They Are Dead!

That's A Dirty Lie!

The Word Of God Does Not Support That View!

We Are Being Set Up For The Grand Deception
That Is Soon To Come To The Whole Earth ...!

... Satan Does What Works!

Man Erroneously Believes That 
Man Can Control Man's Life
And
Wonderfully Prosper ...!

... That Serpent Satan Encourages That Lie!

Man Believes That He Can Manipulate
Forecast ... Direct
The Outcome Of Man's Life ...!

... Satan Deceitfully Encourages That Lie!

Man Believes That He Can Corral Satan
As And When He Likes
Because 
Man Is Man And Breathes
So, Therefore ... He Is
And ...!

... Satan Maliciously Encourages Man In That Lie
With A Cruel Eye On The Prize:
Soul Damnation!

Brethren, Beloved

We Need Our Jesus!
Let's Pray!

PRAYER:

Oh, Father!
We Come In Faith
Nothing Wavering!

This People Desperately Needs Your Help!

Pity Us In Our Deep Distress!

Please Open A Window Of Heaven

And

Shed Some Holy Light

Upon This Dark World Of Sin!

We Cannot Survive, Father, On Our Own!

Send Help, Lord!

We Need You!

Please Help Us To See Our Need Of

Our Only Savior

He Who Is The Balm In Gilead

He Who Made Us

He Who, Alone, Knows How To Succor

How To Heal

How To Help Us
How To Seal Us
Against The Day Of Deception
Against The Day Of Trouble!

Father,

 Please Help Us To Humble Ourselves

Under Your Mighty Hand

So That You May Lift Us Up

According To Your Will

And
In Your Way

So That We May Be Saved

And
Eternally Blessed!

Oh, Lord

Cleanse And Open Our Eyes

So That We May Plainly See

The Precarious Position

That We Are Inhabiting!
Help Us, Please
To Sink Our Inebriating Pride
By Giving It Up To You!

Please Give Unto Us

The Hearts Of Flesh That You Promised

Which Will Cause Us To Hear

And

To Obey
Your Living Word

So That We May, By Endurance

By Exercising Living Faith

Be Eternally Blessed!

Oh, May Your Holy Spirit
Fall Upon Us
And
Lead Us Into All Truth
And
May The Holy Angels Ever Protect Us
And
Influence Us
To Do The Good And The Right!

We Thank You
For Hearing Our Humble Prayer, Father!
Please Answer Us
As Only You Can
For We Ask Your Blessing
In The Only Name
By Which We May Be Saved
The Name Of Jesus Christ The King
Our Savior, Lord
And
Holy God!

We Love You!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

CHOOSING SATAN OR THE SAVIOR: You Cannot Be Forced!

Beware The Handshake
The Pat On The Shoulder
The Kiss On The Cheek
The Knife In The Back
From The Friend Who Is Foe
The Foe Who Is Fiend
The Merciless Adversary
Whose Heart Is Devilish ... Unclean!

Look Up To Jesus
The Author ... The Finisher Of Our Faith
The Giver Of Good Gifts
The Lord Of Creation
The God Holy Whose Words Are Ever Plain
Who Blesses
Who Rewards
Whose Tongue Is Not Forked
Who Heart Is Pure ... Wisdom
Who Love For Us ... To Save Us
Caused Him To Earth To Come Down!

One Is Light, Love, Hope, Truth, Righteousness!
The Other Is Darkness, Hate, Despair, Lies, Unrighteousness!
The One Who Is Light 
Is 
Love Offering Eternal Life
In The Mansions Of The Blessed!

The Other Who Is Darkness 
Is 
Hate Offering Eternal Damnation
With A Christless Life As A Precursor
To A Godless Death
Leading To Condemnation
And
The Prophesied Damnation
And
Eternal Separation From Him Who
Paid With His Holy, Blameless, Life
To Rid Our Souls Of Known Sin's Shame!

Jesus Loves Us 
Died To Save Us
Lives To Save Us
And 
He Saves Us!
Satan Hates Us
And 
Works To Destroy Us

And

We Have The Choice To Make
As To Whom We Shall Follow!

Will You Choose Life As Found In Christ Jesus
Or
Will You Choose Death As Found In Satan
And
From Which, Friend
There Is No Coming Back To Living Again!?!

Live As One Forgiven
And
Living For Jesus Christ
And 
Die As One Faithful To Jesus Christ
And
Rise To Live ... To Eternally Live
With Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
The Conquering King!

Live In Sin For Satan
And
With Sin Unconfessed
And
Unforgiven
Die Willfully Unrepentant For Satan
And
Rise To Die Again ... Damned
Eternally Separated From The Lord Of Life
Jesus Christ The Lord 
The King Of Earth And Glory
The God Of Creation
Our Only Savior!

The Decision Is Yours ... Alone!
You Cannot Be Forced!
You Cannot Be Coerced:

You Will Be Encouraged To Deny Self, Sin And Satan
And
To Choose Life In Christ By Christ
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

You Will Be Sorely Tempted To Exalt Self
And
To Deny Jesus Christ's Personal Sacrifice For You 
And
Denigrate His Power To Save You
By The Adversary Of Souls, Satan!

You Will Be Tempted
But
Never Beyond Your Endurance To Resist
When You Reside In The Lord's Camp
Because
With The Temptation You Receive
- Which Is Common To Man -
The Lord Will Provide You With A Way Of Escape
So That In Triumph ... Against The Merciless Adversary
You May Victoriously Stand!

Brethren, Beloved

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation!
Grace Is Free!
Mercy Is Free!
Salvation Is Free!
Faith Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Free!
Blessings Are Free!
Heaven Is Free
But
To Get To Hell
You Will, Personally, For Your Own Ticket
With Your Own Blood
Your Purchased Soul
Have To Pay!

When We Don't Know Who Jesus Is

We Also Do Not Know Or Appreciate

The Blessings And Privileges Available To Us

Or Are Able To Utilize The Gifts Of Love

Presented To Us For Our Own Soul's Salvation

By Available Grace

And

Free Mercy

Compliments Of The Lord Christ

- Almighty God With Us -

Who Is For Us!

Choose Life ... In Jesus Christ!

CONQUEROR: On The Battle-Field ... Of The Mind!

The Battle Over Sin Is Won

In The Garden Of Prayer 

By Self-Denial

Through Full Cooperation 

With The Holy Spirit Of Truth:

Victory Is Ours

Whether We Are Old, Middling

Small Child Or Stripping Youth!

Jesus Christ Conquered Satan

Not By Cold Steel Or Powerful War-Horse!

Jesus Christ Conquered Satan

By The Living Word 

And

By Prayerful Obedience

With Consuming Love For The Lost

And

We Who Say We Follow Christ

Must Follow Him

In Thought

By Word

And

With Deeds

Starting At The Throne Of Grace

Expressing Love

Confessing Known Sin

Repenting Of The Past

Believing The Living Word

Accepting The Gift Of Life

Trusting The Promises

Following The Lord

Worshipping Wisely

Praising Wholly

Thanking God Gratefully

And

Girded By Gifts Of Infinite Love

From Him Who Is Eternal Love

Working ... By Faith

With Diligence And Endurance

With Our Backs To The Dying World 
And

Our Hearts Fixed Upon Our Master 

Knowing Of A Surety

The Battle Has Already Been Fought
And
With Finality
Won!

But How Can I, Personally, Win A Battle

That I, Personally, Have Not Yet Fought!?!

Beloved,
Our War Is On The Battle-Field Of The Mind!

I Don't Understand What You Mean!

Dear Heart,
When We Keep Our Minds Fixed And Focused 
Upon The Lord Jehovah

Our Hearts Will Truly Be Blessed: He Promised!
We Are In His Holy, Can't-Fail Care!

Understand This ...

Let's Thank The Living God
For Present Great Grace
And 
Soon-Coming Unimaginable Glory!

AMEN!!!

The Lord Has Not Promised ...!

The Lord God Almighty
Has Not Promised Unto Any Man
The Day Called Tomorrow:
Do Not On Satan's Bold Lies Stand!

When The Creator God
Plainly Says:

You Should Buy The Free Clue
And
Recognize That Any Living On A Distant Tomorrow
Is 
One Who Shall Surely Not Have
Even The Ability About It To Sorrow!

 The Lord Also Says:

The Day Given
Is
The Day Blessed
And
Anything Else Anticipated 
Is 
Asking One To Become 
Unnecessarily Stressed!

Today Is A Present
A Gift To Be Unsealed
So Do Yourself A Favor
And
Let It In All Its Heaven-Clad Glory
Be Gratefully, Joyfully, Accepted
As It Is Plainly, Beautifully, Revealed!

Take What The Lord Is Giving
And
Be Blessed To Be A Blessing
For That Is Your Success
Not Hunting And Pecking
And
Indulging In Known Sin
Which Must Then Be Confessed!

Do Not Live Carelessly!
Confess Your Known Sin
And
Repent Each And Every Day!
Do A Daily Debrief!
See For What There Is Or Should Be Grief
And
If In The Night
Or At The Morning's Shining Light
Your Life Is Required Of You
You Shall Go To Your Long Home
Assured Of The Eternal Day
In The Land Where
There Is No More Death
No Crying 
And
No More Sorrow!

Wisdom ...

Be Not As The Unwise
Who Plan For What Is Not Sure
Who Think That Death Is For Everyone Else
When Death Is Knocking At Their Own Door!

If Your Tomorrow
Does Not Include A Life With Christ
Be Ye Warned:
Your Life Is Not One That Can Be Called Blessed
For You Are Living On The Wing
Not The Prayer
And
Your Outcome Is Not One That
The Righteous People Of The Eternal God
Should Embrace Or Cheer!

The Lord Christ Has Given Unto Us 
Promises Preserved In His Innocent Blood
Which He Freely Gave For Our Soul's Salvation!
He Has Promised Us An Eternal Home
And
His Eternal Life
And
He Has Promised Us That He Will Never Again
Destroy The Earth With A Flood!

The World Is Reserved By The Lord
For Destruction With Unquenchable Fire
By His Hand ... Alone
And
All Who Choose Not To Live By His Merits
Shall Find Themselves 
- Along With Satan And His Fallen Angels -
Destroyed By It!

A Word Of Cheer 
For All Who Choose To Believe ...

Satan Is The Father Of Lies
And
His Stated Purpose Is To Deceive
But
The Lord God Of All Grace
Is
Faithful, Just, Loving, Kind And Ever True
And
He Is Calling, Calling, Calling
Pleading With You, Beloved
To Love Him
To Follow Him Faithfully
And
To Him ... Alone
To Be Obedient, Loving And Prayerfully True!

This Is His Sure Word Unto You:

Problems Abase Debase Abound: Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Problems Abase Debase Abound!
From Sin To Salvation
Man, Fallen, Must Bound!
Satan Is The Liar!
Publish The Glad Sound:
Jesus Christ Is Lord And God
And
All Who Diligently Seek Him
By Him Shall Surely Be Found!

Guns, Knives, Swords
Poison Pen, Poison Pill
Human Trafficking

And
Unholy Sex 

Gives The Perverted, Corrupted Mind Myriad Thrills
And
It All Points
To The Unregenerate Heart
Which ... From The Law Of Love
Light ... Life
Many, Longing ... Seeking Self
Did, Indeed, Depart!

No Holy God:
No Love ... No Light ... No Life!
No Holy God: Look Out!
Intense Becomes The Mortal Strife!
No Holy God
And
Desperate Becomes The Need
To Destroy Self And Others
And 

Upon This Dark, Dread, Damnable, Desire
Satan Does Enjoyably Feed!

Light In The Darkness Points The Straight Way!
Darkness Covering Light
And
Men Needing Christ The Lord
Become
Uncontrollable Strays
With Black Hearts
Dark Thoughts
Seeing No Possible Escape
And
Choosing To Go With The Flow
Their Heads With Consuming Evil They Drape
And
On Hate And Destruction
They Energetically Vape!

Measure The Man!
Map The Seeking-Truth Mind!
Mind The Kind Master
And
Holy Heaven, You Shall Surely Find!

Do Not With Known Sin Consort! 

Do Not Choose On The Low Road To Recline! 

The Lord Of Life Is Calling Man To Repent:

Choose To Live

To Love
And

Wittingly Decide Your Life In Light Is To Be Spent
Because

Jesus Christ Willingly Forgives Confessed 
And 
Repented-Of Sin
And
Know And Accept That 
His Love For Us Can Never Be Consumed

Never Over-Spent! 

Enduringly, Obediently, Trust The Lord Christ

Day In ... Day Out

And 

You Will Raise The Vault Of Heaven

When With The Redeemed Of All The Ages

At The Welcome Home Banquet

In Victory You Shall Shout! 

Pass Along The Sure Word ...

Jesus Christ Always, Always, Saves! 

Believe Him At His Blood-Penned Word

And 

You Shall Be Eternally Blessed
Because
On The Accursed Cross On Mount Calvary

He Gave His Eternal Word! 

I Beseech You, Brethren 

Please Do Not Join The Doubting, Gainsaying

Disbelieving, Disobedient, Faithless, Goat Herd!

Those Who Shall Live Forever
Belong ... Not To A Lost Herd
But To The Obedient Sheep Flock
Which Resides In The Only Safe Fold!

The Lord Christ 

Is

The Only Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest!
