FEAR OF DEATH

Death is only the entrance into a life, which lasts forever. No one needs to fear death. If you walk on Earth according to MY Will and complete this walk in the Divine Order, then you will have no fear of facing death. Your soul would only rejoice to be able to escape from the body to enter its homeland, where the earthly body is superfluous, and where the Light of abundant Life is waiting for it. Man cannot speak of this as "passing away".

JESUS rose from the grave on the third day, demonstrating to you that there is no disappearing after the death of the body, bringing you proof that a proper life walk results in only a change from an earthly body to a spiritual body, so that the man continues to exist, only his cover has experienced a change, which is necessary to live in the spiritual realm.

You all can bring this transformation to yourselves. Death has truly lost its sting. However, because you do not believe in life after death you neglect to prepare yourself for living in the spiritual realm. And because your soul has no hope of putting on a bright spiritual garment, you fear death, as so you should, because you will not cease to exist but continue to cling to the earthly, which is not a very happy condition to be in after the death of the body.

But you will awaken and discover that even though your soul is thus defectively formed, it has not ceased to exist, neither can it disappear. Whoever fears death will unconsciously fear such a lot. But you must remember that I have overcome death. JESUS CHRIST wants to awaken you and give you eternal indestructible Life that you can never lose.

Accept this gift of Grace. Remember HIM in your fearful hours, dedicating your soul to HIM, asking HIM to have mercy on your soul and not let it fall prey to death but rather help it to Life, and you will truly not make such a request in vain. Your fear will vanish to be replaced by a blessed peace that only JESUS CHRIST can give. Living faith in JESUS CHRIST drives away all fear of death, because then you know that this means you shall rise as JESUS CHRIST rose on the third day. However, those who do not possess faith in HIM will fear death or believe that they will vanish away to oblivion, where they supposed they came from.

It will come as a rude awakening for such souls, as well as for all who lived without CHRIST on Earth. And it will take a long time before they are convinced that they have not perished, before they can find their way out of their condition, before they are willing to call on HIM whom they would not acknowledge on Earth, Who alone can restore them to Life.

Death needs only to be a passing on to a new immortal Life. But no one needs to worry for JESUS CHRIST has overcome by completing HIS redemptive work to set man free from this condition, into which HIS opponent has brought them.

But this redemptive work of JESUS and HIS resurrection are not highly valued by man. Many know about them but fail to derive any benefit from them, because they do not believe in them. But a living faith gives man strong confidence and removes all fear of death.

Such people will blissfully fall asleep in the Lord and joyfully awaken with HIM in the realm of Light and Happiness. For them there will be no more death. For them there will be only Life everlasting.

AMEN
