THE GIFT OF LIFE AND THE HUMAN BODY !!

YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH'S (JESUS CHRIST'S) MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
FIRST SENT OUT IN 2006.

EXCERPT 28

LIFE is a precious gift which is given to each individual who has been born into this world. Each person must account for the life they were given. Therefore, it is important that each person is aware that they are made of “spirit”, “soul” and “body” (1 Thessalonians 5:23); and that at death, it is only the body which dies. This is because the body is the “earthly house”, which houses spirit and soul, the true person, during each person’s lifetime (2 Corinthians 5:1-9).

At death the breath expires and returns to Me, Yahushua, who gave it. Its function during the lifetime is a physiological one. It provides Oxygen to purify the blood and removes the waste product, Carbon Dioxide, from the body.

At death, the true person, the spirit (“spirit” and “soul”, sometimes referred to as “the spirit” or “the soul”) also exits the body. Whereas the body dies, and returns to its dust, and the breath returns to Me, Yahushua, in Heaven; the spirit continues to live because the spirit never dies (Matthew 10: 28). However, once the body dies, the spirit has no more legal right upon the earth, and must therefore leave.

At the time of death, the spirit goes to one of two places. It either goes to Heaven, where I dwell, or to Hell and torment!!

I, Yahushua Ha Mashiach, told the story Myself about the Rich Man and the beggar, Lazarus, to show what happens when a person dies. This story is recorded in Luke 16: 19-31, and is as follows:

19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22“And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom”: “the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom”. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Please note that this account is NOT PARABLE, as many believe and teach. It is a TRUE ACCOUNT of what took place.

In this story, I made it clear that when Lazarus died, his spirit (spirit and soul) was taken to Heaven. The Rich Man also died but his spirit (spirit and soul) went to Hell and torment!! The bodies of both men were buried and returned to dust and are no more. Today, however, Lazarus is still in Heaven and Paradise; while the Rich Man continues to suffer torment in Hell!!

I GAVE MY LIFE TO SAVE THE HUMAN RACE!! PEOPLE SENT BACK FROM THE DEAD IN ANSWER TO THE RICH MAN’S PRAYER!!

It was to save the human race from the torment of Hell, when they die, and later from the Lake of fire and brimstone, in the final Judgment, why I, Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ), left My throne in Heaven, came to Planet Earth, where I willingly suffered and died (Mark 10:45). I took the death each person deserves to die, so that they can have eternal life.

This ETERNAL LIFE, which I offer, is for all those who have accepted Me, Yahushua, as their personal Saviour and love and obey Me. For all those who do, their eternal life begins here upon earth, and continues in Heaven as soon as they leave their mortal bodies at death. It will then continue in the new earth, which I will make.

In recent years I have sent many back from the dead in answer to the Rich Man’s prayer, which is recorded in Luke 16: 27, 28. I have restored their lives to them, and sent them back to this world to tell their stories of what they experienced after they left their deceased bodies.

All of them give a vivid story of their experience, and none of them realised they were dead! The only difference they found, was that they were without a physical body. Those who came to Heaven, tell of the glories and wonders there, and the joy and happiness they experienced. None of them wanted to return to this world of sin.

Those, however, who went to Hell, tell of the horrors, the sufferings and torments they saw and experienced. None of them want to go back to that place of extreme terror!!

All those who went to Hell, and were blessed and given a second chance of life in this world, have since fully committed their lives to Me, Yahushua. They have devoted their lives to Me, and have become My faithful ministers who are preaching the Gospel of Salvation. Through their testimonies, they are leading men and women, boys and girls to accept Me, Yahushua, as their Saviour.
Through their testimonies, significant numbers of people are given the opportunity to be saved in My eternal kingdom and avoid the eternal suffering, torture and torments of Hell, which will continue in the Lake of fire and brimstone in the final Judgment (Revelation 20:15).

Two of those whom I have sent back from the dead are:
Daniel Ekechukwu, a Nigerian pastor, who was resurrected after three days following a fatal car accident, in December 2001;

and

Ian McCormack, a New Zealander, who was stung several times by deadly sea wasps or jelly fish, while swimming in Mauritius in 1982.

There is also the Video/DVD: “To Hell and Back”, produced by the Trinity Broadcasting Network, in the USA. On that Video/DVD, those who went to Hell, give their own vivid and frightening personal stories of what they experienced there.


PS. SINCE APRIL 2008, there have been 35 confirmed Resurrections from the Dead,;all of which are connected to the Lakeland Revival in Florida under Todd Bentley's Ministry.
