The EmancipatorDON'T FEAR DEATH
I feel torn between the two, because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is by far better, but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.
— Philippians 1:23-24
Scripture teaches that death is a pause of sleep in life, which only resumes at the resurrection. So, the dead are not having excursions and parties in heaven. As far as life is concerned, they are asleep, till they return with Jesus Christ at the resurrection. So, if you are in Christ, you don't have to fear death, not because when you die you are going to a better place but because death has been defeated, abolished and has no power over you. In other words, death cannot force you to die. Like the Apostle Paul, if you are in Christ, you have the power to either accept death or not. Do not fret about dreams or spiritual revelations about death. Jesus Christ abolished death (2 Timothy 1:10). The evil being that had power to hurt with death has been paralyzed (Hebrews 2:14-15). Don't beg death as if it can take you out at will anytime it wants. Walk in this reality and threats of death by any means will disappear from your life. Life and incorruption are what work in you. Allow that to reign in every fiber of your being. Hallelujah!
That which Jesus Christ abolished is truly abolished in my life. Therefore, sin, evil and death are abolished in my life in Jesus' Name.
