Facing the moment of death! I have been with many people at their moment of death. I have also face the fact that I would die in the next few moments or in a few minutes.

There are two profound moments in ones life: When you take your first breath! When you take your last breath!

Everyone reading this is in between those two awesome moments. All your loved ones and friends are also in between those moments. This is a date with death that is unavoidable. Death is as sure as life. It is one of those things you will have to do.

After my times of near death and being with others at death and hearing the report of how many die I believe that as a follower of Jesus He gives ‘dying grace’. When that moment comes the real Presence of Jesus will be with you and give you the strength and peace to face that time of passing. This is a supernatural impartation of God to you. The angels of God will surround you and will carry you to the Father.

I am simply encouraging you to prepare for that moment. For it ‘shall’ come.

I want to add the following devotions by Charles Haddon Spurgeon. I could not say it as well as he. So please read the following.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church. The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle also known as ‘Spurgeon’s Tabernacle. Charles Spurgeon is my favorite historical preacher. I even had the honor and pleasure of preaching in that church and pulpit in 1972. Spurgeon wrote what is now known as ‘Morning and Evening’ devotions. My wife Denise reads these every day. You can read these daily devotions on the Internet at: http://www.spurgeon.org/daily.htm

The following will help you with instruction and inspiration and the Word of God to deal with death as well as to live life to the fullest.

IN THE END, NOTHING TO FEAR. GENESIS 49:33

Unless the Lord comes quickly, we will soon leave this body and expect to gather up our feet. We may expect to breathe our last and like our fathers go to meet our God (Gen. 49:33). But do not let sorrow dim your eye. Do not let fear trouble your spirit, because death is vanquished. We have no reason to fear. ourage,
Christian soldiers, for you are encountering a vanquished enemy.

If your Master had been defeated, you might expect to be blown like chaff before the wind. But the power by which He overcame, He lends to you. Awaken all your powers to the conflict and strengthen them with the hope of victory, because if the Head conquers the members cannot be defeated. You must conquer for Christ has conquered. The Holy Spirit is in you. Jesus Himself has promised, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

Are you afraid to die? Does the grave alarm you? Do not fear, for you cannot die. “Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep…. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:20, 22). Oh, the comfort of the gospel.

All me to say this: If your trust is in Jesus, there is nothing in the Bible to make you afraid. Nothing in the Bible, did I say? There is nothing in heaven, nothing on earth, and nothing in hell to make you fear, if your trust is in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” (John 14:19-20).
