1 Thessalonians 4 we use this a lot at
the funerals but let me tell you this
it's not a funeral passage okay it is a
glorious passage let me tell you this I
but I do not want you to be ignorant
Brethren Paul is writing this all right
this is not Second Coming listen he says
I don't want you to be ignorant and yet
the church is ignorant of this he says
concerning those who have fallen asleep
that means those have died believers who
have died the Holy Spirit used the word
fallen asleep for believers why death is
no more death for
us it's like you you know you step into
a door you're in a new place but you
leave your old suit behind the old suit
that's always feeling bored feeling
tired sleeping when the pastor is
preaching you know uh subject to
sickness headaches fatigue always tired
always tired going to leave that behind
and you have a brand new body we're not
looking forward to death Believers don't
look forward to death they look forward
for the Redemption for the return
eagerly anticipating the appearing of
our Lord Jesus Christ Paul says in so
many ways in his Epistles and here he
says I want you don't I don't want you
to be ignorant concerning those who have
passed on to be with the Lord lest you
sorrow as others who have no hope others
who don't have Christ if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again even so God
will bring with him those who sleep in
Jesus next verse for this we say to you
by the word of the Lord it is not a
figment of paulse imagination it's the
word of the Lord
he says that we who are alive and remain
until the coming of the Lord will by no
means proceed those who are asleep for
the Lord himself will descend from
heaven with a shout with a voice of an
archangel with a trumpet of God and the
DAT in Christ will rise first
amen next verse then we who are alive
and remain shall be caught up that's the
word harat caught up together to meet
the Lord in the air and thus we shall
always be with the Lord people it is not
going to heaven wonderful as that is
it's not walking down the streets of go
wonderful as that is it is no more
sickness and disease wonderful as that
is all right no more hospitals that
wonderful as that is it is always be
with the
Lord heaven is not heaven without Jesus
you know the the the the way the Bible
says so tender for the it says uh uh go
go back verse 16 for the Lord himself
will descend from heaven I love that you
know it's not you would do violence to
the English Language by saying for the
Lord will descend from heaven it's still
correct English the Lord will descend
doesn't say that the Lord
himself he himself will come I love this
himself Revelation in the Bible himself
took our infirmities and bore our
sicknesses the disciples were talking on
the road of imas all right you get them
that it was while they Converse and
reason Jesus himself Drew near nothing
wrong in English to say Jesus Drew near
but it's not warm it's not
warm the writer inspired by the Holy
Spirit Jesus himself Drew near and then
when he expound the scriptures he
expound things in the scriptures
concerning
himself Paul says the Son of God who
loved me and gave
himself if uh
Ephesians five that's right walk in love
as Christ also has loved us and given
himself for us an offering a sacrifice
to God for a sweet smelling Aroma people
it's being with
him the one who loves us so much nobody
loves us the way he loves us nobody
knows everything about you and still
loves
you uh verse 17 I believe we are at
verse 17 we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them
with them those who have right earlier
all right uh uh we'll be caught up with
them we'll meet them so widows believing
widows offens the circle will come back
one
full
run it'll be unbroken we going to see
those who have gone on before am I want
to see my grandfather he received Jesus
the very last moment before he passed on
says Jesus and he passed on with the
Lord he's down there now he's saying
saying to me I believe the cloud of
witnesses come on Sunny Boy come on he's
young guy you know right up there in
heaven he's young he's young he's not my
grandfather he got his ha hair all
back there's nothing in heaven that
falls
off you will never need false eyes
eyelashes
anymore we shall always be with the Lord
I feel like camping down here don't you
just to be with the Lord we're not
looking forward for the Antichrist we're
not looking for the false Beast we're
not looking for the United States of
Europe all right the reviv Roman Empire
we're not looking for that we are
looking for
Jesus we're not looking for death even
we're looking for Jesus anytime it can
happen it can happen
today the Rapture is imminent once the
Rapture happens you can count when he
will come back for Israel because it's
seven years exactly so it's not
referring to that the imminence anytime
any time it can happen refers to the
Rapture okay therefore Comfort one
another with these
words don't forget he's not coming to
deal with your sins believer if you're a
Believer your sins were put away in his
first coming when he died on the cross
look at uh New Living Translation brings
it up in Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was
offered once for all time as a sacrifice
once for all time he won't do it twice
his first one is fully
efficacious all right to take away the
sins of many people he will come again
not to deal deal with our sins but to
deal with the sins of the world yes but
not with our sins but to bring Salvation
this salvation here is our body our new
body all right don't forget the word
salvation is all inclusive includes our
brand new body to all who are eagerly
waiting for him all
right are you enjoying yourself so
far so we're going to have a new body
Philippians Philippians I'm showing you
Paul's writing is full of it I don't
know why preachers are not preaching
more on it is a hope that
purifies amen it gives us a purpose to
know that we are living our lives here
temporarily so make sure that we live
our lives for his
glory this exerpt is brought to you by

you believe wrong you experience wrong
if you're still battling with toxic
emotions you feel fearful about
something somewhere along the way
there's been wrong thinking that
produced that wrong emotion and why is
there wrong thinking there's wrong
believing and why is there wrong
believing many of times people have
heard the wrong thing
there's something about men that we have
an inclination towards the negative side
we got to learn focus on purpose on
things that are good
positive Jesus says to this lady your
