Struggling With Death

[Catherineanne]

Thank you Jenniferdiana!

By the grace of God I do my best to be a good person.

But in the end I throw myself on his mercy as a poor miserable sinner.

I appreciate your posts. Thank you for the encouragement. God bless you!

That is all any of us can do.

God be with you.

I am still alive. I am still struggling with death. Lord help me. I am on 3 blood pressure medications now. My veins were bulging out of my head for a few days and my blood pressure was very high. I don't think I have long left. My heart has been racing and my pulse has been high. They had to put me on a medication to slow down my heart rate.

Lord Have Mercy,
John

PS: Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and input in this thread.

If you have any bible verses to share about the resurrection or eternal life I could use them now.

God Bless.

Somebody please talk to me.....

Lazarus story? Jesus raised many from death and he was raised himself. If the holy spirit is in you you have the promise.
A grain of corn falls to the ground, it must die first before it grows again.

Thank you Goodbook! That was inspirational.

I am praying for peace. This process is very hard on me.

Christ have mercy! I know I must die in order to live in heaven.

God please make my passing easy and peaceful. Amen.

 

[John Davidson]

Please pray for me. This is very hard on me.

Thanks again Goodbook! I really appreciate your responses. I am praying for peace through the storm.

John 12:24

The more I think about this the more I realize what a good verse this is. I don't think I fully comprehend the meaning though.

We should have joy over our death because it means we get to rise again to newness of life in heaven.

I am trying to have faith in this but I still have fears.

Lord help me. Please be gracious to me and bring me peace.

If you have placed your total trust in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation, you should have nothing to fear. If you have not done so then you should very much fear because you have no other hope.

I do have faith in Christ.

But as death has approached I have found myself having doubts and fears.

I find myself thinking things like "What if there is no resurrection".

I am praying God will bring me peace and help me overcome this.

Dying is a hard process.

Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

When I think of you, I think this verse fits ya.

1 Timothy 6:12
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto
thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."

Hi again. I just read that verse the other day in my Portals of Prayer devotional. That is a good one!

I do need to lay hold of eternal life and not fear and doubt.

Yes, that is a good passage. Thank you for sharing.

I am trying to have confidence in those promises.

 

[shelley1952]

If I can distract you from feelings ... savation is assured and faith and healings follow those that are careful to follow the clear directives I shared in my last post.

Some examples here.

I am only on the 2nd page of reading this post but I saw your comment before this one. Thank you for your comment. I think you are the first poster I believe that mentioned the prayer language, like you I found out that what is referred to as the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with praying in tongues is a separate thing from when the Holy Spirit enters us when we are saved. Upon studying it out I discovered it is for todays Christian as opposed to things I had heard when I was younger about how it ended with the last Apostle or yes the ole "it is of the devil " statement.The devil does have a false tongue so we must be careful. When I was studying and came across the scripture
Jude 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up by your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit..... All I knew was I wanted more of the Lord I wanted to know the one who died for me, who loves me so I thought ok, if praying in tongues would build up my faith then it was for me and oh my, it is most assuredly for me, I started learning quicker after that and I fell so in love with the Lord. I pray the OP takes the next step into what God has for him. Thank you again and I am going to read those testimonies of healing myself as for me, they help build my faith.

Good passage esp 1 corinthians 15:54

Gods promises are always yes and amen.
Jesus was resurrected was he not? If hes not raised your faith is in vain...but we know he is in heaven interceding for you and me right now!
