Well the time has come. I’ve waited over 30 years to hear the word of God preached to completion with the understanding that it’s God’s will for us to live and never die, that He takes no pleasure in he who dies, that death is an enemy to be destroyed, that the wise are to depart from the snares of death, that those who seek immortality will be rewarded with eternal life, and that hell is the grave. For those unfamiliar with scripture, these statements may be found in the Holy Bible, among many others which offer us to change our ways and beliefs, and strengthen our faith in God’s teachings that it is not impossible for us to live and never die. For sake of argument, if any one demonstrated this truth, Jesus Christ did when even death on the cross could not bring on the demise of his life on earth. Include that truth with the teachings that God loves us more than we love our own children, then we must reason that if we do not desire the death of our children, then God even more so, does not desire the death of His children on Earth.

Now for those who say that their friends and family who have not died, but transitioned unto another life, I answer God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. He is here for us today, and not just somewhere else for us after we have lived on Earth, and later moved on to some kind of existence in a great unknown. I will add that, the suffering of disease unto death is not His plan either; why else is Christ specifically known for healing those who were sick, from their infirmaries. If that is the way of God, then why bother healing the sick, or raising the dead? And to those who have learned that what you believe becomes manifest, and that life experiences begin with thought, just think, if you do not believe and have faith that you can live and never die, are you closing your mind to the answers to how to live an eternal life, and are you blocking it’s manifestation by unbelief?

God requests that we turn from our present ways of thinking and living, that we renew our minds, that we be born again, not to be identified as man or women of the flesh, but life giving spirits, with the attributes and qualities of an offspring of God, as a god. However, from my vantage point, our understanding of our spirit life is still lacking, and we live as a whole world under the deception that God wants us to suffer on Earth, yet be good, so we can die, and then be rewarded with going to Heaven. Do not the scriptures teach; the kingdom of Heaven is within us?

I beseech each of you to hear my words with meditation, and contemplation of the life we are intended to live, that comes with a change of identification of self in relation to God and His ever-present will, that we have life, and live abundantly. Please do not be like those who do not enter in because of unbelief (Hebrews 3:19). Lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called. (1Timothy 6:12) The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. (Romans 6:23). Just think, to destroy death is also to destroy all of the means by which death comes such as calamity, murder, sickness, and “old age”.

So, as I previously stated the time has come, that is the time to build a church where the gates of hell do not prevail against it. (Matthew 16: 18) The time has come for us to elevate our lives to the will of our Creator, and to have it be in Earth, as it is in Heaven where there is no death, sorrow, crying, or pain. (Revelation 21:4).

As I set out to see the establish this new church, to teach and prepare others to spread the truth of God’s great love and provision, to explore the depths of our existence as life giving spirits, so that we may be filled with the true hope of God, I am seeking your prayers for success, and your diligent adherence to the guidance we have received by grace from the Word of God.

You may find support for this endeavor by reading the scriptures for yourself, such as: Mark 10:27, Proverbs 13:14, 1 Corinthians 15:26, Psalms 82: 6-7, Ecclesiastes 9:10, Hosea 13:14, Proverbs 16:25, Proverbs 15:24, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Galatians 4:19, John 14, 12, Proverbs 18:21, Deuteronomy 30:19, Hebrews 5:9, John 5:24, John 8:51, Romans 2: 6-7, 1 Corinthians 15:23, Luke 17:21, Ezekiel 18:32, Revelation 12:9, Revelation 21:8, Hebrews 3:19, Romans 11:20.

I invite further discussion on this matter. Thank you for lending me your ear, love, hope, and kindness. God bless us all to evolve and meet His design and expectation.

Much love always,
CQ
 
I think this verse fits your post also.

John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.


This has usually been consigned to a time constrained period at the end of the world or shortly before that.Or sometimes as being fulfilled by those who came out of their graves.

As far as I can see we are already alive and well in Him.
Resurrected and perfected,just not detected because of a cruel master called time.

Eph 2:6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus.
Col 2:12 Having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

If time is relative can we choose the relative.
If so I would like to choose Jesus over Adam.
 
To Thiscrosshurts:

Thank you so very much for sharing your insight. It is very refreshing to hear the Word of God flowing through one, and from one to another, regarding applying its truths to our lives.

There is a scripture which refers to man as looking at his reflection, however when he turns away, he can’t remember the image of himself. From your comment regarding that which is not detected, I see that what you say is true,

“As far as I can see we are already alive and well in Him. Resurrected and perfected…”

However I also perceive that what “we” are is yet to be detected in the manner of which, the works of our spirit are dominate over the works of our flesh. I do yet struggle in my mind when I set before me the order of the day to do this, and do that…giving more attention to the works of my flesh, even though I know without a doubt, that I am foremost a spirit, (“alive and well in Him… resurrected and perfected…”) that lives in the body.

My programmed mind desires to take account first, the works of my body, (coffee, exercise, brush teeth, get dressed, make phone calls, pay bills, buy groceries, cook dinner, complete job applications, etc. etc.) These are the works involving my flesh. However the works of my spirit I’m still getting a handle on, especially when it comes to realigning my focus on its fuller attributes in operation throughout each day, and not just in a few moments of prayer. Maybe that’s why we are told to pray unceasingly, yes?

So your response brings to mind the importance of choosing to live and follow Christ, self-identified as a functioning spirit, rather than to live and follow Adam, self-identified as a functioning body.

Thanks again,

CQ
 
We need to walk and live more though our Spirit ! So we can hear His will better and serve HIM better! The carnal needs will be taken care of !

That is why i preach fasting! I find it only takes three days, water only reading the bible and praying for His help to make it past that second day!
satan tries hard to stop us! he saw what could pklace at the churches beginning.How they almost conquered the word for our LORD JESUS CHRIST!
satan fears Us knowing the Truth !

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Jesus already Won the WAR! We just though HIM , win a few little battles! which might appear great in our Eyes? But have been won already! We just must understand ! I prayed for you ! But it up too you to you to obey the LORD!
