Bro. Don, it is written that “we have life and have it more abundantly...”
Our precious Lord gave us the prime example of “abundance” when HE was with us
in the flesh for the 1260-days of HIS sojourn.
If you recall, HE said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth MUCH fruit.”
First, HE said the blade appears, then the stalk, and afterward the ear, and
then the full ear of corn, in fact many ears on the same stalk, i.e. that’s
life more abundantly.
The same principle is true with one kernel of wheat in the head or pod.
There are 50 kernels in one pod. When the pod is planted, each single kernel
yields 50 pod, or when calculated, 50 pod X 50 pod, each having 50 grain in
them. Again, that’s evidence of life more abundantly.
Fast forward to Resurrection Day.
Bro. Don if you and I are what we profess to be (and I know you are, sometimes
however I have doubts about myself), but if
we are what we profess to be, our precious Lord will plant us and we like that
one grain of corn or one single kernel of wheat will yield, life more
abundantly. Eternal life will be greater than what we think or imagine from
this carnal, and wicked world.
The apostle said it best. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear hear, nor has it entered
into the heart of man, the “things”
that God has prepared for them that love him.” So yes my dear brother, God’s
dear children have so much “life abundance” awaiting them that they can’t even
imagine what God has in store on the day of their demise.
Bless you.....Bro. Don.......May HIS face shine upon you is my prayer...

Subject: FW: Dying Grace
Dearly Beloved blessed with faith and hope by the gift of grace,
Please listen to what I have to say here, God grants to his children in the
determined time "DYING GRACE". What I mean by this is, when the child of God
has a fatal disease God prepares them for the "End of life" by causing them to
be resigned to His determined will and pleasure. For the entirety of the
scriptures relate to the afterlife for those blessed to believe Christ's divine
promises.
The totality of the gospel of Christ is focused around His provision of life
everlasting to the elect blessed with an immortal and incorruptible body
likened unto His own glorious body. This is the message of hope which I have
been blessed to proclaim for over 49 years. "DYING GRACE" is absent of denial
and totally relies upon the truth of Christ's gospel. This is why so often the
devout Christian often feels envious of those that have finished their earthly
journey as many of my Christian Brethren have even expressed to of late being
tired of this pilgrimage in a world of sin and wickedness. What is here that we
would greatly desire to remain and cling to this temporal life?
I have been blessed with Gods "DYING GRACE" at this time as my journey
continues to conclude. I want out of this fleshly cursed tabernacle of dust.
Meanwhile, I rest in Christ mercy and sovereign will to be manifested. Like
Bro. Jack Dawsey had wrote after traveling to preach a memorial service for a
dear member of a church a couple hours away where he had ministered, "I am
tired and weary of the battle as I see all the demise of the nation and the
weakness of my body, I await my day of departure".
I "want out" of this body of dust taken over with disease. I have a wondrous
hope beyond this earthen journey that is plagued with sins curse and vanity.
By Christ love, respectfully,
DONALD E. MARTIN. Sr.
