Why It's Important In Being Faithful To God
There are some people who are growing in panic because of different sites they read which may tell of the destruction that is in the near future, and other things that are coming that mark the end of this imperfect world.
Below are instructions on how to best serve yourself by staying close to the LORD Almighty and HIS Son, Jesus Christ.
Sirach 2:1-9, 11-14,18
1 My child, if you are going to serve the LORD, be prepared for times
when you will be put to the test.
2 Be sincere and determined. Keep calm when trouble comes.
3 Stay with the LORD; never abandon Him and you will be
prosperous at the end of your days.
4 Accept whatever happens to you. Even if you suffer humiliation, be patient.
5 Gold is tested by fire and human character is tested in the furnace of humiliation.
6 Trust the LORD, and HE will help you. Walk straight in His ways, and put your hope in Him.
7 All you that fear [respect]the LORD, wait for Him to show you His mercy. Do not turn away from HIM and you will certainly be rewarded.
9 All you that fear [respect] the LORD, look forward to His blessings of mercy and eternal happiness.
11 The LORD is kind and merciful, He forgives our sins and keeps us safe in time of trouble.
12 But those who lose their nerve are doomed all those sinners who try to have it both ways!
13 Doom is sure to come for those who lose their courage; they have no faith, and so they will have no protection.
14 Doom is sure to come for those who lose their hope.
What will they do when the LORD comes to judge them?
18 We place our destiny [life] in the hands of the LORD, not in human
hands, because His mercy is as great as His majesty.
Most High, continue to guide your people through the difficult times, by strengthening their relationship with you. To rid of all doubt and know they are blessed whether they continue to live on earth or return home to You.

Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 11:08PM I hope you take no offense in me being honest here. First of all, I respect you for being religious, I have no problems whatsoever with that, me as an non-religious man have come to a conclusion where fighting other peoples beliefs are a dead-end nomatter the outcome, instead I'v accepted that there is some people out there that needs a higher power to belive in, to help them through hard times etc. I'm not naive for not beliving in religion, I'm a man who uses logic sense infront of everything els. But I also have my own support bible to live by, my way of life if u want, its in my blog, the parts of it I'v been able to put into words atleast. I'm in gonna write some of it here aswell, for non-belivers that are having those panic attacks you were talking about. Accepting death and not God is what I think you should do, its about the same deal but its easier to accept something you know thats coming for sure, I'm not saying you should go suicidal and give up on life, rather the opposite, for me having accepted death as an event in my life that is inevitable. Fear is a human instinct developed to alarm us of danger, and fear is summoned through lack of information, information that will tell if your life is about to end. When you accept death as something you in the end are not able to avoid, your fears will start to vanish aswell, without fear you'll be able to live a much more psychological healthy life and you will automaticly accept an inevitable death nomatter what it comes from. The fundemental training of this is to think for yourself what death is, but ofcourse this is the hardest part because since the lack of information, nobody knows. But try and think logical about it, I'v come to the conclusion that there are two diffrent ways in death. 1# You truely die and you go into a state where you dont feel or think and whatever is going on in the world what so ever you do not know about it, you dont feel it, and you dont care about it... since you dead ;p 2# That life is just another step on the journey our souls take, maybe our souls will manifest itself into a new human foster, or maybe we'll enter the realm of ghosts. But nomatter what I do not belive that it will be more painful then living. Death is apart of nature, and the only thing that actually works.. or could'v worked is the nature on this planet, the most perfect creation of anything we'v seen so far, why should death be diffrent? Once again there are no easy way to learn how to accept life&death, what worked for me to use is my logical sense of mind. Hope it helped, sorry if the explanation is abit off, its 6 in the morning and I just got back from my friends place. However, I do belive you might find a better explanation in my blog. | |
Posted Nov 5th, 2009 at 7:09AM, last updated Nov 7th, 2009 at 6:26AM I don't find offense in what you say, it was written respectfully. I don't consider myself religious, because I really don't belong to any religion organization. It is only in your own "logic" that because I share scriptures I must be religious. You are also correct in that "fear" is part of human nature. Human nature is not part of who GOD is, it's not in His likeness, so therefore I'm not spreading fear. I'm simply sharing information to strengthen those who believe. Only those who don't believe would look at what the scriptures says as "fearful". I am not going through any difficult times as your "logic" dictates that people who are religious must go through. You said one important fact in all you said, which was accept the inevitable which is death. Is death painful? Well it certainly can be, however, people on earth is in a lot of torture mentally and emotionally as well. I can tell you what happens at death. The Angel Azrael, stands with the soul/spirit who is being released by the physical body. The reason why Azrael does this is to protect the soul from the satan and his followers from snatching it without the permission of the soul/spirit. 2ndly, The Soul/Spirit remains earthbound, and sees every aspect of their life, their lesson they either learned or didn't. Then the Soul/Spirit has one more choice to make, which is returning to The LORD Almighty or not. IF not, your torment for at least now, is that you have no peace, no love. I can go on further, but I believe I covered the important aspects of death. | |
