Greetings dear brother,
We are each traveling on the same journey, some of us will arrive at
the destination sooner that others, but HE is faithful to keep that
which we have committed unto HIM against that day. "/knowing in
yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of
reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will
of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he
that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live
by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in
him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them
that believe to the saving of the soul." (Heb 10:34-39)/ All of the
saints in all ages have looked for that CITY not made with hands. You
are in our thoughts and prayers as the LORD enables us.
Blessings, mike

*Subject:* 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.
