"Making It Real"

 "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood." (Hebrews 7:24 KJV)

  "Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?"" (John 11:25 NLT)

 You can just put your name in that question, saying, 'Do you believe this, Richard?', or whatever your name might be; because it is something that you have to believe! I am not afraid to die, because I know in my heart that the death of this body is not the death of me; I will be immediately in the presence of the Lord, while this dead corpse will be waiting to be changed, in a twinkling of an eye; just you wait and see! 

 From what I understand, (and I truly don't know much,) God created us to have a body, as we will have again, once we are giving our new body at the time of the rapture. But this soul will not die, it will not sleep; but it will be with the Lord in heaven, as soon as it leaves this earthly body. 

 I also believe that those who die without believing in Jesus, they too do not literally die; but they are in a place that is opposite of heaven; a place called hell, waiting for that final judgment. The soul never sleeps, as some might think. For those who might not understand who owns your soul, it is the One who created you; the One who gives and takes away! Yes, when God made Adam from the dust of the ground, He brought life into that body with His own breath; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7 KJV)

 Not that I have all the answers, because nobody really does. But from what I have read in the Bible, I take everything that I read and make it to be real! If it is not real, then why believe it? And if you can't totally believe what God says, then how can you believe in His promises? We must, with all our hearts, believe that it is real, no matter how hard it might be to figure out how, just believe in His Word!

 Some people might call that, 'blind faith,' which is something I might have said over 40 plus years ago. But I am convinced that God can do anything, meaning that the earth and the heavens were created all at once, by just His command; just as He said, "Let there be light; and there was Light"...

"In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." (John 1:1-5 NLT)
