LIVING FOR DEATH.

People live their lives to the fullest, constantly worried about missing opportunities. Because they never know when their time is up. Death is fear... to most people.

Looking from an earthly perspective, not knowing anything outside of the world; There is no thing worse than death. If you can think of something, come tell me. (You must agree with this or else you should stop reading now. It is a simple truth)

Death is not natural, anyone who has been to a funeral can tell you this. There is something not right about it. Everything within a person (with some sort of conscious left, if they haven't seared it off) should be screaming this is just not how it should be. And everything Jesus stands for says to that person, that they are right! Death is completely unnatural from the established order of how we were created to live, and live forever.

When inquired about this subject, Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life, he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and he that lives and believes in me shall never die."

By this understanding and power, Jesus himself raised many from the dead. Jesus himself rose from the dead. By the spirit of God.

That same spirit is in us today who are willing to receive it. That sweet breath of life. The same that overcame the worst imaginable outcome to this little existence.

The same spirit, that swept and covered the earth in the beginning. That inspired the very words of the bible we read. That raised Jesus from the dead. That same spirit, has the power to free your troubled mind, to heal your wounded heart, to connect every last piece of the puzzle (even the ones you thought you lost under the table), and the power to overcome physical death. These are not just words, these are tangible, attainable things that are available to those who ask of them.

If you are living this way, with this weight. Especially for those that call themselves christians, we are called to set aside not just these things that separate, but the weight of it all. If you feel that it is an impossibility, that you are somehow destined to fall into a repetitious cycle of being chained up in the darkest of circumstances; where there is confusion, and strife, and envy, and hatred, and every evil thing, God cares about you more than any surmised human language could ever describe and I can tell you with confidence that He does NOT want you to feel that way. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

There is no reason for us to not live in constant freedom, and a state of constant rejoicing, praising God and thanking Him always for delivering us from the dark mindset we once were consumed by. The only thing that holds us back are ourselves, everyday reminded of our faults, our insecurities, our pasts, our jobs, and the bad in the world, and the death, focusing solely on our problems, and our troubles, and our worries.

This should not be.

God wants you to get off of yourself, and onto Him, and live by His spirit of truth and life, living life for Him and not for death, worrying about missing opportunities, about what has happened or is happening currently, for success, for money, for power, thinking only of yourself day in and day out...

The spirit is available. Are you? Or are you just living for death?
