His thoughts Perish

When we die.

Psa 146:4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

This is truth.

Psa_6:5  For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Psa_88:11  Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave?

Ecc_9:10  Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

This is ALL truth.

Yet, people don't believe. They've concocted fairy tales that suit their desires. They've manufactured lies and call them truth.  And now they call the truth - lies.

Why say these words-

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do- do it with they might.    Why? Because…   THERE is NO work, nor device, nor KNOWLEDGE, nor wisdom in the grave.

If this is true, then why do people believe that their dead loved ones have all their knowledge, all their wisdom intact after they die? Why do people believe they even have THOUGHTS after death? These words say otherwise- when our last breath is spent then our THOUGHTS end, they perish. There is NO thinking after we die. 

The comfort people take in believing their loved ones are living on in a better place, is a lie. What harm is there is believing a lie? Who is the father of lies? Satan is.

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

So what harm is there in believing lies? You are believing in Satan then, not God.

God's truth about death is that it is a sleep.  Thoughts perish. Work is over. Knowledge ceases. Praising God is no longer possible.  Why is it so horrible to believe this is the truth about death?  Sleep isn't a horrific thing at all. But being able to watch your loved ones on earth suffer through their lives, that would be horrifying not pleasant at all. Why would ANYONE believe that their loved one is watching over them helping them, knowing they are in pain? Why would that be a GOOD thing for the loved one?  Why would it be good for all our ancestors from all time to be gathered together just spending their heavenly time watching their descendants suffer life? Where is the joy? Where is the comfort?  We talk about our loved ones being happy to see those who passed before them, how they're spending time with them all happy. So I ask again, why would they all be happy knowing they are no longer among their loved ones left behind to suffer without their being there to help them? Any help they can give as supposed spirits obviously isn't very significant because the suffering does not stop.  The lie is a horrific one, and it has deceived millions.

There have been deaths in my family lately, and among friends and endlessly people talk of their loved ones being in heaven with Jesus and all happy now, and this gives them comfort. The lie comforts them somehow. They're happy their passed loved one is no longer suffering yet by their own logic they are still suffering if they are knowing that they are now watching their earthly loved ones suffer their loss. How silly would it be to believe their loved one in heaven is happy while watching them suffer.  Yet, to believe the truth, that death is a sleep that is TRULY knowing our loved ones are no longer suffering. This is the TRUTH, this is the comfort we have! The true comfort!  Our loved one NO longer suffers! This is less selfish than believing they live on and know our constant pain and suffering.

Please, Father, please help us BELIEVE Your truth! 

In the name of our Savior Jesus Christ our Lord!  Please help us, save us, keep us, love us, forgive us! Know us!

Amen.
