I feel drained of all energy, for my love is now dead and I am longing for the miraculous resurrection … I was there at the moment of her death, like I was at the moment of my father’s death … The days after, my head was heavy clouded with only scenes of his last moments before he gave life … And once again, after a day of her death, my head was heavy clouded with scenes of her last moments … Now my mind is so cluttered that it is hard for it to function, my thoughts bounce around as if my mind is a pinball machine, my brain feels as if it is a television set with all the channels going at once … I cry for the Lord for the life that comes of out death …
People live there lives in different ways, some live it like no tomorrow, some over indulge in tomorrow, some think of materials and possessions only, and some think of living life devoid of everything, and between all of these there those who like the smell of every flower … Some people live only for God, few deny HIS existence, but most can’t utter such denial nevertheless they live in hiding, and get cover in the shadows of a busy schedule of life …
But there is something all of these agree on, only things like this happens once in mankind history, such thing is they all agree when you die you meet with GOD !! And as I imagine, that even for those who lived their lives with GOD, in close relation, still meeting with HIM is a different experience … In my faith, some people happened to meet with GOD while they are still living, and it was different, yet different would be understatement here … I would say it is a “life-death experience” …
Because in HIS Mighty presence you are shook to your core, your cells jump out of your body, and all of yourself, your being and your past, present and future is nakedly exposed in HIS presence … So some may argue that all yourself and your being and your past, present and future is exposed to HIM while you were living, so what is the so “different” about such experience …!
I don’t claim I got the answer, but I think, the difference is that you are there at this moment, not hiding or thinking you are hiding escaping looking into HIS eyes, or pretending HE is not here or looking at you … The difference now is that you are faced with the fact that you can’t go anywhere or do anything but to talk to HIM … And here lies the “life-death experience”, it differs now how you are used to talk to HIM, whether you used to talk to HIM as a loving caring gentle FATHER of all, or as a feared mighty GOD … Because now, when HE speaks, your heart melts, your soul is shaken. And with HIS words, HE can put life back into you which ends in a miraculous resurrection, and that is why it is a “life-death experience” and that is how life can come out of death, because death offers you the opportunity of meeting with HIM in a life changing way, something you may have sought all your life or may have tried to avoid it all your life, but now you have no choice but to experience it.
And some may ask me, why at this experience death does not come out at the end, because logically life gives birth to life and death gives birth to death!! … I tell these, you can’t be more right, because in my faith MY FATHER is the source of all life, and HE promised me a wonderful life, the “better life” … So whenever I meet HIM I know I am promised life and never death, and I will never experience the kind of death that gives birth to death, I will only experience the life changing one, the one that life comes out of death!!.
