QUICK TIP: How To Kill Yourself

Several years ago I made a startling discovery. Ever since then, I became at peace with the idea and concept of dying. Death is not a loss. We misunderstood it from beginning. Death is actually a victory. When you die you actually gain. It is easier for people to transition from no job to a mouth-watering job. That is a death of the joblessness to job-fullness. It is easier for people to transition from being broke to being wealthy. That is the death of the broke-ness to wealth-ness. What actually scares people is the separation of relationships.

God's plan for his children is to get familiar with death. I am not going to quote the favorite 1 Corinthians 15:55 "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" because till this very moment we still don't understand it.



Jesus was the first person to demonstrate this truth. The apostles during the tribulations also demonstrated this. However, our generation and few past are yet to understand it.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that YE PRESENT your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE... - Romans 12:1 (KJV)
...sacrifices are supposed to be dead...
...this typifies a Christian... the quickest way is to die now, right now while you are still alive, is to present your body as a living sacrifice, a living dead, a zombie for righteousness.
The Father of all spirits can ask you to do things your fleshly mind will want to oppose...
...don't creep out!... do it. This is how you die to self. This is the acclaimed and rare brokenness we talk so much about.
If your denial of certain pleasures can promote God's kingdom...
...you are better off...but He won't force you to...
...it is your choice to PRESENT it, OFFER it...
...stop that cigarette, stop that drink...
...stop that relationship, stop that vacation...
...stop that sleep, stop that filthy lucre...
Let your life count for the Message of the Kingdom
