My neighbor, who I've known for 10 years, died in a bad car wreck back in 1976. She is 62 years old and lives with her 92 year old mother. She was dead for 5 minutes. She told me about her experience when she was dead. She first said that she up in the air looking down at her body. She then went on to tell me that she went through a tunnel that had a light at the end of it.

Upon entering the light, she said that she saw God, other people around her and she saw a beautiful garden. She felt so much peace and love while she was there, but she was told that she couldn't stay because it wasn't her time yet. She said that she did not want to leave because where she was so magnificent that there are not any words to describe it.

1. According to this scripture, we were spirit before we became flesh. Jeremiah 1:5, 'Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou came forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.'

2. Genesis 2:7, 'And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.' I know from one of the supernatural experiences that I went through that there are two parts to us, the carnal (flesh) side and the spiritual (intellect and soul) side.

3. Genesis 6:3, God said, 'My spirit must not for ever be disgraced in man, for he is but flesh; his life shall last no more than a hundred and twenty years.' God is talking about the spirit and soul that He puts in each and every human being. It's apart of Him and it returns back to Him after death of the flesh.

In my opinion, I believe that what she is saying is true. I have always had the Lord in my heart. 22 years after about a 15 year bout with alcoholism, I called on Jesus to help me and come back into my life. Since then I have followed Him and built a beautiful relationship with Him.

I've had many supernatural experiences myself. I sought truth and it has been revealed to me over and over again, along with confirmations. So, I have no doubt that there is another life waiting for us when the time comes. One that is free from suffering and pain.

Repent and call on Jesus Christ

Is There a God? Is The Word of God Real? Does God Exist?

Isaiah 57:20,21, 'The sinful are like the restless sea that cannot be still, and washes up mud and slime. 'No peace' says my God 'for the sinful.'

Do you have too much going on in your life where you cannot find rest for your body and/or mind? In these days when everything seems to be so fast paced, we can lose our selves amongst the things of the world. It is important to take care of our self first.

Nothing that this world has to offer is more important then losing our soul. The things of the world are only temporary, just like your body. To lose your soul for eternity, over a short period of time that the world offers is not a wise thing to do. Ask yourself if the things of the world are worth temporary happiness, stress, worries, fears, loss of freedom because you have become a slave to the world, and most importantly, losing your soul.

Take a look at what is causing the ocean within you to be restless and make adjustments to your life so that you can find peace, happiness and freedom with God that will last forever.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and The Tree of Life

Romans 8:6 'It is death to limit oneself to what is unspiritual; life and peace can only come with concern for the spiritual.'

We all have needs like food, clothing, shelter and things that help to sustain our lives, but sometimes we get caught up into the pleasures of the world and these things are the things that we live and strive for. We can become slaves to them, even to the point where they become idols and/or gods. This is what can bring us spiritual death.

When we seek spiritual things, we grow in spiritual life, we store up treasures in heaven for when we shed this corrupt flesh and move on. Limiting ourselves to the things of the world by living for them, the things of the flesh, can only bring us death.

Growing Spiritually

Jesus gave up his life and went through terrible punishment before He was nailed to the cross and died. He truely gave up His life for His friends, you and me. He considers everyone His friends because of His great love for God the Father and all of us. All He asks of us is to not reject Him and to love one another.

He wants us to follow Him, so that we can have eternal everlasting life. His flesh may have died, but He was resurrected and He lives today in the hearts of all who have received Him.

Would you be willing to give up your life and follow Jesus? Would you be willing to give up your life for your friends?

Trust God Always

Our Savior Jesus Christ and Your Will and Your Life

Do not set your hearts on the things of this world which are all vanity, but set your hearts on the kingdom of God. All the world has to offer is death, but God offers life to those that trust Him and believe in Him.

Toil for the things that will last forever. Love one another and help one another. Store your treasures in heaven where thieves cannot steal them. What good is it for a man to work his whole life amassing treasures on earth only to lose his soul?

We came into the world naked why leave naked? You can't take materials, money, etc. with you, it will only be left behind for someone else to enjoy, all that you worked your whole life for.

Set your hearts on God's kingdom and enter in the front door like family clothed in light. Don't enter into heaven by the back door, naked and in shame. Your nakedness will be exposed to all.

God Bless You

The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Where We Need To Set Our Hearts

Wisdom 1:4,5, 'No, Wisdom will never makes its way into a crafty soul, nor stay in a body that is in debt to sin; the Holy Spirit of instruction shuns deceit, it stands aloof from reckless purposes, is taken aback when iniquity appears.'

The Holy Spirit cannot be with someone that still sins. The Holy Spirit is pure and it cannot be with someone that is not pure. If you want the Holy Spirit to be with you forever, then it's going to take Jesus Christ to help you get to the point in spiritual growth where He can ask God to give you the Spirit of Truth forever (John 14:15-17).

Jesus will take you down that road that will lead you to purifying your soul and body. It takes a lot of dedication and laborous work to reach that point, that is why Jesus says, 'Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to perdition is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.'

How much value do you place on your salvation? Do you prefer the things of the world like, materialism, temporary happiness, or death over peace, joy, happiness, freedom and everlasting eternal life?

12 Ways To Grow Spiritually  Cleanse yourself of all iniquity and follow Jesus.

May God be with you always.

James 3:18, 'Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness.'

We can sow many things by our actions whether it be peace, love, kindness, compassion, empathy or goodness. We can also sow darkness in the form of hate, anger, inconsideration, selfishness, greed, resentments, envy, jealousy and so on.

What we sow outward is also what we sow inward. By sowing the good things of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we are keeping peace with our fellowman, but when we sow the darkness of evil, we are causing disharmony amongst our fellow brothers and sisters.

What we sow, is exactly what we are going to reap. So, it comes down to choices that we are going to have to make in how we want to be and live. We can live in the darkness of disharmony or we can live in the light of peace.

God Bless You

Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.'

Jesus As Your Savior

A nation where it's people no longer retain any purity in their lives or marriage will suffer great consequences and disaster. As any nation continues to rebel against God in their immoral behavior they can expect things like these to happen; murder, theft, fraud, corruption, treachery, riots, perjury, disturbance of decent people, forgetfulness of favors, pollution of souls, sins against nature, disorder in marriage, adultery, debauchery, etc.

Filling one's heart with the things of the world and turning them into gods, things that one worships and loves more than God is an abomination to God. One's who place their hopes and trust in man and materials instead of God will only find death knocking at their door.

Justice will overtake them on two counts: as idolaters, for degrading the concept of God, as frauds for swearing in despite of truth, in defiance of all that is Holy. For it is not the power of the things by which men swear, but the retribution due to sinners.

Such a sinful nation the United States and England have become. If they would only turn back to God, they will escape the coming disasters that await these two nations. God is being patient and He is warning these two nations slowly, but His wrath will not wait forever.

Sin is Disobedience to God, His Law and His Commandments

Ecclesiastes 7:30, 'This, however, you must know: I find that God made man simple; man's complex problems are of his own devising.'

It's a shame when man doesn't follow the simple life that God has laid out. Man has this problem with his pride, he is always looking to better what God has already made best. So, in turn, he only makes things worse and causes all sorts of complications for himself.

Man always turns a way from and rejects God's plan and thinks that he has a better way of doing things. That's why we have diseases, famine, unemployment, broken families, unruly children, crime, overcrowding in prisons, all sorts of immoral behavior, alcohol/drug abuse, welfare, corruption, greed, massive debt, violence and so on.

Researchers don't help at all. Look at all the chemicals that they put in food. Do you think that these are healthy? What about all the altered genetics of animals and plant seeds? There's no telling what the food that we eat is doing to our brain and the rest of our bodies.

When you build house upon house like, condominiums, apartments, office buildings where they jamb multitudes of people into one room with no fresh air, don\'t you think that illnesses and diseases can spread quickly?

I'm sure if you look at the way man thinks and lives and look at the way that God taught us how to live, you would see who's plan is the best. But, with man, he always thinks he knows best, that is why everything is so great these days.

Maybe one day man will realize that he is making a big mistake and will turn back to God and see that He has a better way of living, after all, He is the one that created us. What's wrong with just keeping things simple?

Gods Will For Us

Matthew 5:44, Jesus says, 'Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and slander you: That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who makes the sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and rain upon the just and the unjust.'

For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the tax collectors do this? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? Do not also the heathens do this?

By doing good to those that you may consider your enemies shows your true love to all mankind just as God does. God does love us all. Each of us has the opportunity to repent and turn our backs on iniquity and hate. By praying for your enemies, you just may be able to turn them into friends. This is one thing that makes a true Christian, a person that can love their enemy no matter what they may do.

Greet your enemy with love, don't try to avoid them. How can you help them if you don't show your love for them? God's love is unconditional and so should ours be. Drop the created love and be clothed with the uncreated love of God.
