Before I Die!

I want to tell you something very important that you may not know that happens in the moments when you feel like you’re going to die. This has happened to me twice in my 71 years of life. The first thing that came into my mind and out of my mouth was….” God, Please forgive me for any sins that I have committed”.

I was not expecting to say that. It was an instant instinct. I wanted my soul to be clean before I saw God. Although I knew that I have been ready to meet God for a very long time, I wanted to make sure my soul was clean.

I mentioned this to my mother-in-law who is home with the Lord now who also had near death experiences. She told me the exact same thing about asking God for forgiveness for any sins. In order to see God, we must be cleaned by the blood of the Lamb who is Jesus Christ. He is the only one who has the power to clean our soul spiritually so that we are holy enough to see God!

We should be living like any minute could be our last. We should be living a holy life because God commands us to. Any of us could die at anytime, anywhere, anyhow. I have been sick for a very long time. The thing that gives me so much peace is knowing that it is well with my soul, meaning that I’m good with God. Looking death in the face made me wanted to be sparkling clean AKA holy for my Father God!

Sometimes people have moments before death arrives and sometime death is instant with no chance to make a quick confession for repentance for my sin and ask for forgiveness. Please consider my story today. I write this because I know what happens to a person who haven’t ask for God’s forgiveness, believed and also asked Jesus to come into their lives. The Holy Spirit has been asking you and following you around for years so that you can live with God forever on the day your life has ended. Hell is real and you don’t want to wind up there!

Everybody can see that things on earth are escalating rapidly. I don’t want to list out all the catastrophes because you see it and are maybe experiencing it. Is it well with your soul? Are you clean inside your spirit to meet God? As it is said…. Are you prepared to meet your maker? This may sound like doom and gloom, but I tell you it is a joyous thing when you have complete peace about where your soul will be in eternity! I have that peace!

Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
