Death
& The Life to Come, September 18,
2015
The
Lord’s sweet presence is with us,
Heartdwellers.
I
would ask for special prayers for
Carol and her husband, Homer. He
lost his brother and his brother’s
wife in a sudden motorcycle accident.
The whole family is grieving and
very much need your prayers. So,
please, pray for them, Homer and
Carol.
And,
the Lord brought up this very
topic. Very timely. And this is
what He had to say:
"Homer
is not the
only one who is suffering. There
are many around you suffering and
I wish for you to be more
attentive, more tuned in, more eager
to touch them with your prayers.
It is through suffering that you prove
your love for Me. And it is
in suffering that I bring you
the choicest grapes from the vine,
to comfort and console you.
"All
of My children have suffering, but not
all disclose to others what they
are going through. That's why I
ask you to be vigilant and
attentive, listening for the beating
of their hearts, beyond the obvious
in their lives. For this, you must
be detached from what is going
on in your lives, to the point
where you can truly tune into
others. Listen for the whisper of
My Spirit when I point out to
you, ‘This is a
suffering soul. They need a touch from
Me’."
Oh,
Lord, I see myself as blind and
callous when it comes to others.
Please change me, please make me
more sensitive to them instead of
myself. And this is really true –I
go shopping in a store, take
care of errands, and I am so
riveted on what I’m doing, I’m
not thinking at all about spiritual
things and what the people around
me are going through. So, you
can pray for me for that,
because I am very dull when it
comes to the people around me
when I’m “on task”, doing
something.
"This
is a good prayer for all of
you, My Brides. In your fever
pitched search for signs of My
coming you often brush right past
souls I have sent to you for
ministry. When you're taken up with
your agendas, you tend to overlook
everyone and everything that does not
fit in with your goals. In
the world this is acceptable; in the
spirit it is a serious fault.
Pray for Me to endow you with
greater sensitivity to those around
you , especially the hurting.
"It
is in seasons of hurting that
souls are the most pliable and
teachable. It is in those seasons
that they ask the important questions
and are willing to look a
little deeper into the meaning of
their lives. Death has a way of
interrupting the status quo and
bringing to the forefront the brevity
of life, and the fact that I
could require your life of you
at any moment.
"These
teachable moments are very often
turning points in the lives of
others. They awaken you to the
deeper meaning of your life and
bring up reviews asking questions such
as, "What if that were me
in the coffin? Would I have
done all I was called to do?
Would Jesus say to me, ‘Well
done, enter into your master's joy?’
Such questions are the
beginning of deeper conversions and
opportunities to grow in wisdom and
grace.
"I
DON'T SAY THIS ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE
MOMENT, BUT THOSE MOMENTS IN THE
SHADOWY HOURS OF THE NIGHT THAT
JUST
PRECEDE
THE DAWN, WHEN RESISTANCE IS DOWN
AND HEARTS ARE BARED. I VISIT
MY SERVANTS IN THESE HOURS TO
BRING BOTH PEACE AND COMFORT AS
WELL AS CHALLENGING QUESTIONS, ‘IS
THIS ALL MY LIFE WAS MEANT TO
BE, OR IS THERE SOMETHING MORE
FOR ME TO DO?’
"THE
PAIN OF SEPARATION IS SOMETHING I
WEEP OVER, TOO. AT THOSE
TIMES, ALL I CAN DO IS WRAP MY
COMFORTING ARMS AROUND YOU AND PLEDGE
MY FAITHFULNESS THAT YOU WILL SEE
YOUR LOVED ONE AGAIN. AND WHEN
YOU DO, THEY WILL BE YOUNG AND
SMILING, HAPPY AND FULFILLED, SHINING
WITH A BRIGHTNESS NEVER SEEN ON
EARTH. …
I
Thes. 4:16 For the Lord Himself will
descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet of God,
and the dead in Christ will
rise first. 17 Then we who are
alive and remain will be caught
up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the
air, and so we shall always be
with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort
one another with these words.
"SOON,
VERY SOON BELOVED BRIDES YOU, TOO,
WILL STAND SIDE BY SIDE WITH THOSE
YOU HAD TO SAY FAREWELL TO ON
THIS EARTH. YES, YOU WILL BE RAPTURED
WITH THOSE WHO WERE YOUR RELATIVES,
YOU WILL BE CAUGHT UP IN THE
AIR BESIDE THEM. HOW WONDERFUL,
HOW MARVELOUS, HOW COMFORTING FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE GRIEVING.
John
14:11 Do not let your heart be
troubled; believe in God, believe
also in Me. 2 In My Father's
house are many dwelling places; if it
were not so, I would have told
you; for I go to prepare a
place for you....
"IN
THIS PLACE YOU WILL LAUGH AGAIN
AND PLAY WITH YOUR LOVED ONES
GONE BEFORE. YOU WILL EXULT
AND REJOICE IN THE HOLY ONE,
AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN PREPARED
FOR YOU IN THIS REALM. AND
EVERYTHING WILL BE SUITED TO YOUR
TASTE, EXACTLY WHAT YOU MOST ENJOYED
ON THIS EARTH, THAT WILL BE THE
PLACE I PREPARE FOR YOU IN
HEAVEN. YOU WILL PICNIC TOGETHER,
EXPLORE TOGETHER AND VISIT ONE
ANOTHER'S DWELLINGS TOGETHER AND BEST
OF ALL BE TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY.
YES, THERE WILL BE LEARNING, PLAY,
STUDY AND RECREATION, CREATIVITY; AND ALL
WILL COME QUITE NATURALLY TO YOU
IN YOUR GLORIFIED BODIES. AND,
OH, THE WONDERFUL POSITIONS I HAVE FOR
YOU TO FILL IN HEAVEN, THE
WONDERFUL WORK YOU WILL SET ABOUT
TO DO WITH OTHERS OF LIKE MIND
AND HEART!
"NO
MORE MISUNDERSTANDING, COMPETITION, JEALOUSY
OR THE LIKE. EVERYONE HERE
WORKS FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THEIR
BROTHER AND THEIR SISTER. RATHER
THAN COLD INDIFFERENCE, YOU WILL BE
GREETED WITH HEART-‐WARMING LOVE AND
ACCEPTANCE AND ALL THAT YOU PUT
YOUR HAND TO, WILL ALSO BE
PRAISED AND ENCOURAGED.
"YOU
SEE, IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO JEALOUSY
OR IGNORANCE, ONLY JOY AND
AFFIRMATION. ALL MATERIALS AND
EQUIPMENT WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU
AND NOTHING WILL BE LACKING.
YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THE EASE
AND GLORY OF LIFE IN HEAVEN.
"WHEN
IT IS TIME TO WORSHIP, YOUR
HEARTS WILL BE ENKINDLED TO A
BLAZING FIRE THAT NO ONE CAN
QUENCH, AND WHAT REMAINS TO BE
HEALED WILL BE HEALED BY THE
BREATHTAKING POWER OF GOD. NEVER
AGAIN WILL YOU STRUGGLE, LAMENT, OR
MOURN. ALL SHALL COME TO YOU
JUST AS YOU DESIRE IT, FOR
EVERYWHERE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE
FILLED WITH THE GLORY OF GOD.
AND NOTHING SHALL BE LACKING TO
ANYONE.
"THIS
IS THE SUPREME BLISS OF HEAVEN.
SO, TAKE HEART, BE ENCOURAGED. YOUR SOJOURN
ON THIS EARTH IS NEARLY AT ITS
END AND SOON YOU WILL BE
REUNITED WITH THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
TAKEN FROM YOU IN THIS LIFE.
THERE IS A PICNIC BASKET WITH
YOUR FAMILY NAME ON IT, A HUGE
OAK IN A LUSH MEADOW FILLED
WITH FLOWERS AND GREEN GRASS -‐WITH
BLANKETS SPREAD BENEATH IT, AND ALL
YOUR RELATIVES AND PETS ARE THERE
WAITING FOR YOU.
"Console
one another with these thoughts,
Beloved, for I am coming soon."
