See Again!

Did you know that God desires to see us live a long good life? Many today believe that when a person dies, it was God's timing for them to die and that the fullness of their days have been lived out according to God's will. However, according to the Bible, God's will isn't always manifested here on earth as God desires it, and there is no guarantee that we will live out the fullness of our days. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. Proverbs 9:10-11 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Proverbs 3:1-2 And Yes, we can die before our time! Let me ask you this, when a person has an abortion, is that God's appointed time for that baby to die? When somebody commits suicide, is that God's appointed time for them to die? When somebody gets drunk, and kills an entire family, was that God's appointed time for them to die? Is it Biblical to "die before your time"? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? Ecclesiastes 7:17 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. Psalms 55:23 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes!

Yes There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Amos 9:10 In the NT, we learn that there are many people who get sick and die before their time, because of unworthily partaking in communion: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep [or have died]. 1 Corinthians 11:24-30 God's Word tells us that MANY have fallen into this trap. If many back then fell into it, what percentage of today's sicknesses and deaths also fall into this category? Can a person's sin and disobedience to God shorten their life? Yes! Untimely death is listed under the curses that we find in Deuteronomy 28: The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.... Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 28:21,61-62 I have never seen God's Word speak of Him using sickness or disease to call a righteous person home, but we do see just the opposite unfold in the above scripture, where sickness unto death is a curse. What is God's desire for those who fear Him and walk in His ways? A long and good life! Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:2-3 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalms 91:16 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Proverbs 3:13-16 I also believe that eating habits and exercise will also affect our body's ability to live a long and healthy life. The verse above speaks of wisdom lengthening our days, and I believe one area of our lives that we are supposed to exercise wisdom is in taking proper care of our bodies. In Jeremiah, we find a passage which tells us that God has good plans for us, and wants to give us an expected end. An expected end is nothing less than a long good life. Dying of cancer, or in a car accident, is not an expected end, it is rather an unexpected end. This is not God's will for us, according to this passage in Jeremiah: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalms 34:12-14 The above passage asks, "Who wants to live a long good life?" Then it goes on to tell us to keep our tongues from speaking evil, and to depart from evil. Lot's wife is a good example of somebody in the Bible who who died due to disobedience; she never lived out the fullness of her days. It was not God's will for her to die at that time, but her death was the result of her disobedience towards God. Another source of pre-mature death is a result of Satan's work of killing, stealing, and destroying that Jesus spoke of in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..." When somebody is killed, it refers to the taking of a life prematurely (otherwise, murder would be justified in God's eyes, would it not?). God does not use Satan to kill His children, as a means to keep them from living beyond their appointed time. Jesus made it very clear who was behind the killing, and who had came to give life. By stating that every murder came at God's appointed time for that person to die, is to equate Jesus with the killing side of the equation of John 10:10. It is saying that God uses Satan's work in our lives to bring about His will, timing, and plans for us. If this were true of murder, then the same could be said of rape, stealing, etc. Suddenly, we find ourselves in a mindset that everything which happens here on earth is the will of God, which couldn't be further from the truth. Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. Deuteronomy 5:33 There is one passage in scripture (see Job 7:1, 14:5, 14) that is used to support the concept that the days of our lives are appointed in such a way that we are not capable of dying before the fullness of our days have been lived out. However, when Job said that the days of our life are appointed, he also said other things during his foolish rant with God that I believe were merely Job's human understanding, and not divine revelation from the Holy Spirit. For example, in Job 6:4, he was basically saying that God's poisonous arrows and the terrors of the Almighty was upon him, when that was simply not the case at all. There were things Job said which were mere human wisdom being spoke of in a time of desperation and lack of understanding. To say that we cannot die before our appointed time, is saying that God uses murder, abortion, suicide, sicknesses resulting in death, demonic killings, unhealthy care of our bodies, drunkeness (resulting in deadly car accidents), and so forth, to fulfill His purposes in a person's life. It is saying, for example, that God appointed Billy to die on the day that he committed suicide or got drunk and drove into a phone pole. It is claiming that God appointed Billy to die at that time and that God's "good plans and expected end" for Billy was for him to commit suicide. Just because God wills something, does not mean it always happens. He desires all to be saved, and that none shall perish, and Jesus made all the provisions for all to be saved, but are all saved? No, not at all. God also wills that we live long good lives, but just because that is His desire, does not mean that it will always come to past. "But God used Lazarus' sickness unto death for God's glory!" Study and see the story for yourself. Please research how cancer is being demonically rooted, because the medical community is clueless as to what the root cause really is. Let me ask you this: if Jesus told us that Satan came to kill, how does Satan go about doing that? Think about this, we don't see demons with clubs beating people to death, but we do see people dying like flies from cancer. Does God use Satan to kill people as His way of "calling them home"? I believe that Jesus was telling us in John 10:10 that Satan's intent to kill refers to taking a life pre-maturely. Abortion is another one of Satan's ways of pre-maturely taking a person's life. Would we dare say that God was using that to call His children home? We wouldn't think of it! God's Word tells us that He has plans for us, plans to give us a hope and a future, and an expected end (see Jeremiah 29:11). Cancer is not an expected end. Abortion is not an expected end. An expected end is when a person has lived out the fullness of their days that God has given them to live. Are the good plans spoken of in Jeremiah 29:11 coming to past in everybody's life? Then what makes us think that the expected end part of that passage naturally comes true in everybody's life? It doesn't! Those are PLANS that God has for us, but just like the plan of salvation, we must play a vital part in seeing those plans fulfilled in our lives. Satan, of course, has plans to end our lives prematurely. Jesus told us in John 10:10 that the thief came to kill, steal, and destroy. How about being killed for His sake? Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20 Why does God allow us to be persecuted and even killed for His sake? Because He wants to reach the lost, and in order to do that, we're going to be persecuted. He already has our souls, so the moment we die, we are with him anyways. He wants to reach out in love to those who don't have Him as their Lord. Remember and re read John 3:16! I hope this gave you a clearer picture of the Big Picture and that you will read for yourself and find the answers to the questions you still have. God Bless your deeoer walk with the Lord. Seek His oeace and understandng. He loves you more that you could ever know. You were made perfectly by His design and so is your marriage. Every detail in your life He already knows about as He goes before you. Keep seeking and praying for the lost hurting abd brokenhearted. There are many even in church (some may even hide it very well due to fear or judgement). May they all be saved before He returns again soon. Are you ready? Ask for forgiveness and get right with the Lord today. Go back to where you once began with your wife or husband 0f your youth as well as your own God given family. They are waiting patiently for your return. The angels will be rejoicing un advance today on your behalf. Do not delay another moment and be the most couragious ever. Be unstoppable evem! Forgive me if there are typos...its been a long day. Study yourself approved daily. Time is short. Your sins are forgiven: If you aren't sure your sins are forgiven, you will be experiencing guilt, and a feeling of unworthiness to live in victory. The enemy moves right in on this weakness and fault in your belief system, and uses it against you. Guilt gives the enemy room to move in and make you feel worthless, and therefore he keeps you fighting from a defeated position. You must know that your sins are forgiven so the enemy won't hang guilt over your head! Look at Luke 7:47, where Jesus forgave that woman who lived a very sinful life, with no strings attached! Also look at other stories where Jesus said "Your sins are forgiven" with no strings attached. And Paul is another great example of how he was moved from a sinful lifestyle right into the kingdom of God without any strings or conditions attached!
