Living and Dying:

     The Soldier of the Cross must know how to live and how to die.

     At the same time, the message of the Gospel is not only Salvation, but also how the Christian must live and how the Christian should die.

     Soldier of The Cross, we are moving on.  There is an inertia and a momentum to the Christian Life. And to the vision for passing on.

     I have had many experiences with the dying of loved ones, or the dying of loved ones of the Family of God.

     The issue is always what lies ahead.  The human experience is to dread the unknown, especially when it comes to crossing the Crystal Sea.

      Soldier, whatever He has is for your best.  Chemotherapy is so hard.   For over thirty years, I went through it with my father.  Then, my mother died of cancer.  And now, I have a close friend who is going through breast cancer treatment.

     The bottom line is, who is on control?

     Yes, we have an enemy.
     Yes, we can ask for healing, and sometimes He does and sometimes He doesn't.

     Soldier, this life is a as vapor, and don't you forget it.   We don't know what is His will, but we know we need to agree with Him .

     So Soldier, ask Him for the healing,.  The tell Him you want His best.  Are you the one with cancer?

      Buck up.  Agree with God. Determine that the fear of leaving this life is not the issue.  The issue is service to the Body of Christ.

     Leave the burden at His feet.  You will need to do this over and over and over.    That is OK.  
     Tell Him aloud and experience the relief.
     Do it today.
