January 1, 2002, Journal-Resurrection of Saints, our visible spirits, soul sleep, eternal life.

Among the fireworks the Lord moved upon me during the night to change my format after four years of writing this Daily Journal being equal to 4 books as calendar years, a more urgent message is apparent in my spirit to target the issues of the mystery of God and his speaking to man in terms of wisdom and understand.  If everyone will hear the spirit with their window open to Heaven in total obedience and in meditation with God, then there may not be the need for the written word.  I struggle with this myself daily and I am not an angel even though Angels are also servants as I am.  I write what the spirit dictates and tonight I saw clearly a subject of the question of what happens to our soul when our body dies.  there is a theory that our soul sleeps until the coming of the Lord.  personally, I do believe that the minute we die, our spirit is with God in heaven.  The spirit never dies in my opinion or loses consciousness.  The soul does not sleep but lives forever.  The rich man and Lazarus parable Christ gave us is enough proof to believe that we go instantly to heaven or hell, being our choice at death.  "The dead know nothing".  It's true the body is dead to this world but the soul acsends to Heaven and can be visible or invisible.  Let us deal with this fact of matter now.  The church at large is confused and not ready for the Lord to come and may never be ready because it like the church in Christ day in terms of the synagogue of the high priests that was a powerful instrument of Satan.  I believe it is important that my readership understand and be enlightened as to the full scope of this subject.  Additionally, I hope to understand better myself because there are convincing scriptures that would lead you to believe in different directions.  The church today is not united and often confuse people more than being their spiritual adivisors.  With a thousand different doctrines, what are people to believe?  God is alive and we must follow him and Christ is with us always.  When Christ died on the cross, he left is body and went into the earth for three days to free the souls of thoses as who had died before.  Many were seen on the streets and Jerusalem thereafter.  On the resurrection morning, Christ rejoined his body and became the first to be resurrected for a new heavenly body by which he then ascended to heaven a few days later.  We will have a body like the Lord had then? I believe we will.  When Christ comes again to earth to rule for the thousand years, a multitude of Saints will be following him, this is another indication that all those who died are living now otherwise, they would all be in the resurrection and not up there following the Lord back down to earth.  They may rejoin their resurrected bodies as Christ did.  In any case, we know there will be a resurrection and eternal life for the believers.  Let us be faithful unto the Lord God Almighty so long as we have of life.  But those who are living when He comes, an instant transformation will occur without death ,to the new body, we will be much changed in a moment, and in the trunk and and my and we shall go to be with him. Paul says " to be absent from body is be present with the Lord.  Christ said to this teeth on the crawls, today thou shall be with me in paradise " Christ healed the sick well on earth and reliefs the dead yet he died himself but he was not dead but you the of and he Lilles today in our heart.  One of blessed thought that is and how wonderful to see and to feel and to know the great God of heaven has chosen us to be his people, that he claims a relationship with us and that he is preparing a place was for if it were not so I would of told you " Mathew be faithful to the end that you may be saved   my change to this style of journal achilleas an order because I held a college you with how Leo and think, of how high heat and work, of my daily routine in prayer and reading of the scripture, not this time to concentrate on the true word of god. I belief that what I've written in the past four years is all of for fallen to see the light on the world around us.
