But the part that never sleeps, the soul, if it’s ready to go back to its Maker, it goes if it isn’t, it is cast into hell. The body sleeps in death the part that sleeps goes back to the earth. The soul either goes to Heaven or it goes to hell when it leaves the body. Isn’t that marvelous indeed! That shows the greatness of the Lord. The Lord with that great power can wake one up from death as easily as a tender mother wakes a child from sleep. An her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat (Luke 8:54,55). And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. But what they didn’t know was that Jesus has power over death He stood there looking on death as sleep. The mourners laughed, mocked they knew that the girl was dead. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead (Luke 8:52,53). When Jairus’ daughter died, Jesus said, Weep not she is not dead, but sleepeth. Jesus Has Power over Deathĭeath is called sleep in the Bible. To believe in Him is to believe He was crucified, He died, and He rose again death could not hold Him. You believe in all His wonderful works and promises you believe the whole Will, the whole New Covenant, the New Testament you believe it all. You believe in His salvation, His sanctification, His divine blood. To be a Jesus believer, you believe Him to be the Son of God, the Only Begotten. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him (I Thessalonians 4:14). The Bible is clear about the Second Coming. He gives you ears so the Spirit can direct you, but you have to listen. The Lord gives you ears to hear when you are saved, spiritual ears to hear what the Lord is saying, to hear from the Lord through His Word. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith (Revelation 2:7). But why listen to them, why give attention to the devil? The Bible tells us to listen to what the Spirit is saying. Some ministers are deceived, putting out books denying the Rapture. Doubting the Rapture Is Doubting God’s Word Are you a member of the bridal company, a part of the Bride of Christ? If you’re not, you definitely can be, but there are preparations to be made. Many, many people make up the bridal company. Every time you find the Bride in the Old Testament’s types and shadows, how gracious, how wonderful, how powerful she is! Today she’s no longer in types and shadows today she’s the Bride of Christ in all living reality. In type and shadow in the Song of Solomon, Jesus is looking on the Bride with eyes of love and saying, Thou art all fair, my love there is no spot in thee (Song of Solomon 4:7). Get rid of them now when the Rapture takes place it will be too late. How can you be that pure? By yielding to the Spirit of deliverance, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that you won’t make the Rapture unless you get rid of the spots, the wrinkles and the blemishes. Jesus is coming after a people who are without spot, wrinkle, blemish or any such thing. Rapture-conscious, running after the Lord, not after the world, you must be everything He desires you to be. Then seven years later at the third coming, Jesus will fight the Battle of Armageddon, bringing to a close the Tribulation Period, defeating the Antichrist, the Antispirit, the devil himself and all his followers. Some people say the word Rapture is not in the Bible, but to be caught up or caught away means the same thing. In midair the Bride will be caught up to meet Him: the Rapture. In the second appearance yet to take place, the Bible teaches that Jesus will not come all the way to the earth. In the first appearance, He came as the Babe of Bethlehem. The Bible tells us of three appearances of Christ.
