THIS PAST WEEK HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT  WITH THE PASSING OF A DEAR MOTHER & DAUGHTER OF OUR CHURCH BODY AS A RESULT OF A AUTO ACCIDENT. TWO LIVES TAKEN FROM US TOO SOON. AS A INTERCESSOR I HAVE FELT THE PAIN AND GRIEF OF HER LOVED ONES, BUT GOD AWOKE ME AT 3AM THIS MORNING SAYING:
                                O DEATH , WHERE IS YOUR STING?
                                O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?
I AROSE TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE AND IN 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 50-56 GOD TELLS US THAT WE AS BELIEVERS HAVE THE FINAL VICTORY  OVER DEATH THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
 
BEHOLD, I TELL YOU A MYSTERY: WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT ALL BE CHANGED--IN A MOMEMT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET. FOR THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND, AND THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY. SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE HAS PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL HAS PUT ON IMMORTALITY, THEN SHALL  BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN: DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. O DEATH WHERE IS YOUR STING? O HADES WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?
 
THE WORD TELLS US THAT OUR ASSURANCE, AS BELIEVERS IN JESUS, THE STING OF DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP BY THE VICTORY OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS RESURRECTION. DEATH IS NOT THE END, BECAUSE IN CHRIST WE LIVE FOREVER.  MY FRIEND WHO LEFT THIS LIFE LOVED JESUS, LOVED TO DANCE IN THE GLORY OF HIS PRESENCE......NOW SHE'S THERE ....NO MORE TEARS...NO MORE SORROWS....SHE'S DANCING WITH JESUS.....
 
SO I ASK OF YOU, PLEASE PRAY FOR THOSE IN YOUR LIFE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW JESUS THAT THEY TOO WILL BELIEVE IN HIM AND ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE.
 
 LOVE BEVERLY
PROVERBS 3:3-4

LEAVE YOU:BIND THEM AROUND YOUR
NECK, WRITE THEM ON THE TABLET OF

FAVOR & A GOOD NAME IN THE SIGHT
OF GOD AND MAN.
