A Word from Papa “J”
As stated by me many times… “I love the Word of the Living God” the Word of God is the comforting, correcting, counseling and concluding voice to all the living. By definition even the dead will hear the concluding remarks from His Throne. Revelation 20:11-15
Good Morning
I know of a man who died in the late seventies from a very bad heart. When his first heart attack came upon him and knocked out two thirds of its functional capacity he laid in a coma for several days. After he recovered and at his bedside one evening he said; “Jesse, last night someone died in this room; I heard the doctors and nurses working on him!”
I knew that the room he was in was private, an ICU room where there was only room for the bed he was in; a visitors chair and the various medical hookups that are normally found in such rooms. Of course, the night he was referring to was not the night before but the morning a few days before when he was rushed to the hospital with chest pains.
His heart had stopped and the voices he heard were the voices of the doctors and nurses who were busy working on his lifeless body to enable his heart to begin beating again. He survived that moment in time, but it was not the man in the bed next to him, or someone else in the room, it was him whom these medical people were saying… “WE MAY LOSE HIM!”
Some have said that the last perceptive organ to die in the human is the hearing and who really knows and what does it matter anyway. If one dies and “ALL DO” what does it really matter if you hear those last words… “This one is dead!” or “whoops, we let this one slip through our fingers” what can the one dead do about it? Not a thing, but wait… does his soul still speak?
In Genesis 2:7 – Moses writes that God breathed life into Adam and that Adam became a living soul and when Cain murdered his brother Abel, our Creator said to Cain; “What have you done? The VOICE of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.” Genesis 4:10. That voice that is still speaking today… LOUD AND CLEAR! Hebrews 11:4.
Then we must also consider what the apostle John recorded for us in Revelation 6:9-11. He writes that he (John) saw the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God and that they (those souls) cried out with a voice. “How long, O LORD, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood…?
The last perceptive organ may be the ear, but what can the ear do to provide eternal life of the body? The last eternal element to leave the dying body is the soul and what can the soul do to maintain physical life? The soul never dies… when it returns to God and it will; will God wipe away the tears as He promises His saints, or will the soul that belongs to God be a cast away in a place reserved for the devil and his angels called the lake of fire and the second death.
These questions, if you have them and no doubt you do are already answered for us in the Living Word of God. John 11:1-27. After all; four days after Lazarus died, He heard the voice of His Creator and came forth from the grave to meet Him. Lazarus ears and his soul heard Jesus.
