No Fear of Death
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.
~ Revelations 2:11
"The first death we must endure, but let us not fear it, since Jesus has transformed death into a passage leading to glory.
The thing to be feared is not the first, but the second death; not the parting of the soul from the body, but the final separation of the entire man from God. This is death indeed - it kills all peace, joy, happiness, and hope. Such a death is far worse than ceasing to be: it is existence without the life that makes existence worth having.
If by God's grace we fight on to the end and conquer in the glorious war, no second death can lay its chilly finger upon us. Eternal life is worth a life's battle. To escape the hurt of the second death is a thing worth struggling for throughout a lifetime.
Lord, give us faith so that we may overcome, though sin and Satan dog our heels!"

LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE LIFE OVER DEATH. WE THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE RIGHT WAY TO LIVE OUR LIVES THROUGH YOUR WORD. WITHOUT YOUR WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDING US THROUGH OUR JOURNEY WE WOULD ALL BE WALKING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD. LORD, I ASK THIS MORNING TO GIVE US STRENGTH, NOT OUR STRENGTH, BUT YOUR STRENGTH AND WILL POWER TO GO FORTH DOWN THIS LONG ROAD. WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THIS BATTLE IS NOT OURS, BUT YOURS, BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE FAILED THIS BATTLE A LONG TIME AGO DUE TO TEMPTATION. WE THANK YOU FOR GIVING US YOUR STRENGTH TO OVERCOME THE POWER OF SIN AND DEATH JUST AS JESUS YOUR SON DID. THANK YOU LORD, JESUS FOR DYING FOR OUR SINS AND CONQUERING SIN AND DEATH FOR US, SO THAT ONE DAY WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING. LORD, WE PRAY FOR YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD TO BE PLACED OVER US THIS DAY AND ANY OTHER DAY THAT WE GO OUT FROM UNDER OUR ROOF THAT WE WILL BE PROTECTED FROM SATAN'S EVIL DOINGS. WE ASK THAT YOU PLACE YOUR FULL ARMOUR UPON EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND SAINTS LORD. WE ALSO PRAY FOR THE SOULS THAT ARE LOST AND HAVE NOT FOUND THEIR WAY TO YOU YET. WE ALSO PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE YOUR CHILDREN AND HAVE GONE ASTRAY FOR A WHILE, THAT THEY MAY FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO YOU BEFORE YOUR RETURN TO COLLECT YOUR BRIDE. THIS WE PRAY IN YOUR PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN.
