Yes absolutely. I live in horrible pain everyday. I have to live day by day. The pain I live with and the absolute hate that is in the world today makes me not want to be here. Jesus can take me today.

Sorry to hear that what are you suffering from.

My calling and election are made sure. I am "in Christ" and God's Word tells me when I close my eyes here for the final time and breath leaves my physical body I will be with Christ in heaven. I don't fear death. I'm prepared to meet Jesus whether that be today or 50 years from now. Whether by Corona or any other event/illness.

There are countless number of tombstones all over the world since the ancient times.

People die everyday of many causes, young and old.

But the way they live their lives will proof whether they have the courage to face death on their death bed.

Many people when they are healthy and wealthy say they dont fear death, but its a totally different situation on the death bed, let me just ask you while we can still ask and answer, Are you prepared to die by Corona or whatever on your death bed ? What is your reason ?

Shalom,

 

 

 

 

I am prepared to die because I know where I am going.

Jno 11:25-26

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.  He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.  Beleivest thou this?

1 Cor 15:51-

Behold, I show you a mystery.  We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump, for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  So when this corruptible have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Jno 14:1-3

Let not your heart be troubled.  Ye beleive in God, beleive also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions.  If it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.

1 Cor 2:9

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them which love him.

Rev 22:20

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.  Amen.  Even so come Lord Jesus.

There is no reason to fear death, nor is there reason to court it.  While we live in the flesh we have God's work to do.  He chooses the work, the time of it's completion, and the manner of it's completion.  And then we will rest with him in an incorruptible eternity.  Christians are at their best in this world as they actively do God's work in this world, with an unfailing eye on the world to come.

Thanks for posting this. I have a lingering sin in my life that needs to go, but besides that, I am ready to die.

I used to fear death until my son faced it at about a week old(he is healthy now). Now I fear the death of loved ones and how I would live without them.

Sorry i dont understand what you mean ?

I'm sorry! I jut mean that no matter how I die, as a Christian, death has no sting, not victory, so just cannot be anxious about such a trivial matter. My job, is to be more concerned about how live. How and when I die, is not a big concern. If I could choose, I think going out as a martyr, would be the best way, but I admit, I am not trying to do that!

Death is just another door so to speak. Not trying to give the classic answer but its truth. I don't think about death. This body will sleep but I won't die. How will I LIVE this next moment for myself or for Him. Songs always come to mind. "do you see do you see all the people sinking down.. don't you care don't you care are you going to let the drown?".  And "will I leave a trace of JESUS behind"

ONLY ONLY because you asked.. I never share this. I after what I share was told it looked like I had a massive heart attack. And that was by more then one. And no I didn't go to the hospital. OOOH I remember haha that moment very well. Never had so much pain in my chest. What was COOL Sound bad but.. in so much pain.. what was COOL was it was in my chest.. it was as if someone pushed it into my back.. oh man so much pain.. then pushed back into my chest. I prayed against it.. in that moment as my GOD will tell anyone I always praise Him thank Him.. rebuke.. bleed the blood of Jesus. I know His word. I KNOW He is alive. I know I sin... I know the enemy can attack.. but.. I KNOW HIS WORD! I am 59 and He has never once failed me.. if I can not walk hand in hand with Him in the worst of times I can not in the best of times. AGAIN NOT TO BOAST! When my baby was 4..short story.. ambulance opens the door "he is not responding to anything".  My wife sitting in the front seat.. (wow still makes me cry) not a sign of life in her.. you know  what I mean. I just turned and said "Father I will never blame you". No lie.. right after I said that.. the door opens "HES RESPONDING". Chopper came.. took them to the hospital.

So no.. I don't think about those times.  I don't know many are ready. Well you never know when they will come..unless your prayed up. walking by faith day in day out. Always think about Him.. praying always praying about EVERYTHING you do say

I like what NF said in one of his songs.

"It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things
We look in the sky like, "why ain't You listening?"
Watching the news in our living rooms on the big screens
And talking 'bout "if God's really real, then where is He?"
You see the same God that you saying might not even exist
Becomes real to us, but only when we dying in bed
When ya healthy it's like, we don't really care for Him then
Leave me alone God, I'll call you when I need you again
Which is funny, everyone will sleep in the pews
Then blame God for our problems like He sleeping on you
We turn our backs on Him, what do you expect Him to do?
It's hard to answer prayers when nobody's praying to you
I look around at this world we walk on
It's a smack in the face, don't ever tell me there's no God
And if there isn't then what are we here for?
And what are y'all doing down there? I don't know Lord"

[warrior12]

If you really believe "Absent in the body is present with the lord " , then therein lies the answer.

2 Corinthians 5 King James Version (KJV)

⁸ We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Irrelevant none of us know when or how we will die. All we can do is seek to live for God and to die as we have lived.

Its true but its awesome to hear these people's faithful statement.
