As that is what happens to people who have cancer.I will be seeing the face of the Lord sooner. I am now afraid to die as i know where I will be going. I will be gone home to Heaven before the rapture which will be awsome.. I cannot wait. The rapture many not happend for another 200 years or more. It may happen in 2o years. But whenever it happens I will already be home. Absent from the body is present with the Lord. I know before I go I have to have a right standing with God, and make sure all of my sins are forgiven and make sure I have forgiven those that have come against me, which will be hard. It is not easy to forgive those people that are rude to you.Bur soon I will be seeing Jesus face to face. Are you afraid of death, or how you are going to die?

I'm sorry that it sounds like your time on Earth may be limited. However, as a fellow Christian, we can rest assured that the afterlife in heaven will be far better than anytime spent on earth. No one knows when Jesus will come back, but we should live each day for Him as best we can. This includes forgiving others and treating them as we would want to be treated. Although this is hard, it doesn't pay to hold grudges or let evil thoughts or actions take over your life. I am not afraid of death, and neither should you be. It's sad to think about because of all those we love on Earth, but as Christians we know that if we believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again for the forgiveness of all our sins, we will be with other followers in heaven someday and spend eternity with those whom we love. From your question, it sounded a little like you were talking about things you need to do in order to get to heaven. We can't ever earn our salvation, but only through faith in Christ do we get there. As long as you're sorry for your sins, you are already forgiven. Remember that God truly loves you and is there for you every step of the way. He knows your pain and cries with you in difficult times. God bless you in your daily life with Him!! :-)

I am a christian and accept that part of life is death. I am sorry that you have cancer and hope you can get yourself into remission. You have asked for forgiveness for your sins, bear in mind that jesus also wants us to forgive those that tresspass against us. I dont want to die, but I am not afraid, and how am I going to die, the same as every other person on this earth my heart will stop. I wish you all the very best

I can only offer you what I know from my own experience, you can choose to believe it or not.
I have died and was brought back. My experience of dead is not what most think it is. I got to see what god promises us as his reward for following the guidelines he set for us to live by. Yes heaven awaits us all and is everything you would think heaven is and more. I say " and more " because words could fully explain it's bounty.
I was so angry and confused for a long time after my return. Why would god show me heaven's beauty and send me back?!
It just made me more angry to hear "christians" tell me I was sent back for a reason and god had a purpose for me. For the longest time I thought he was punishing me because my life has been nothing short of a living hell since. I have endured pain and great injustices I never thought possible. Day after day I ask the question ~ Why GOD ? Why?!!! I don't deserve this! I have always lived my life as I thought he would want me to, so why must I have to suffer the rathe and cruelty that I would only think one must earn and deserve, for giving the same to their neighbor. Not ME....I have lived believing " do unto others as you would have them do unto you " . Though I am not perfect, I strived to follow that and believed it was only right.
Today I don't have to ask god why anymore. I was sent back for a purpose. And maybe I'm alittle slow learning, but I have come to see exactly what I was supposed to, but wouldn't have fully understood unless I experienced the suffering and pain I have. So I will tell you what you already knew but have doubted.
You see, " god wants to make sure there is no doubt about it" ! We ARE all ONE .
When I died I didn't see others there waiting, and though I still felt what I can only desrcibe as (my being or me as an individual )
was fully intact but without human form. Yet I wasn't separate from everyone else but one with them. I know now that I can't get to heaven until I know I am not complete yet and never will be individually.
THINK ABOUT THIS IF YOU DOUBT ME ~
Have you ever heard anyone come back from a near death experience and say they saw HELL?
You never will either. If you do , tell them they were obviously lost , buy them a drink and tell em' they have arrived ! :)

I'm not afraid of death, I'm quite excited actually, if I'm going to die (even though I'm not). But people are really afraid to die, even me. Because we're afraid of leaving somethings behind and missing all we've got here. But even though Christians are afraid of dying but not everyone, but i bet even those Christians that are afraid to die are excited to see their Savior face to face. Some people even call their death their "Victory Day". But i know Christians really want to see their Savior.
Well as for your condition of still not having the Savior in your heart you should call a preacher and let him share you the Gospel and let him do the rest. Trust me you're going to be a lot more happier when that happens, after you die you will be judged and if your name will be found at the Book of Life (and i pray it will found) you will home in Heaven.

No, I am not afraid of death. There are a few more things I would like to do here to fulfill God's purpose for me. However, whenever he calls me home, I will not be afraid to go.
I am very sorry to hear that you have cancer. I hope you are feeling well now. You can probably testify to many people before you go; or God may choose to keep you here for quite a while longer. It is his will. I do pray that you do not suffer.

Dearest Leanne, I am sorry you have cancer. But please bless the Lord in all things. You have time to prepare. I would like to tell you a story help you build your faith. All things are according to Gods will, you will not die one second before he allows you too no matter what the doctors give you. Leanne I have been a nurse for over 35 years, I have held countless hands so my patience wouldn't have to die alone. I have been blessed in so many ways through these experiences. I have felt the presence of the Lord when a saint leaves for home, I have shed many tears, for those that I had feared may not know him.
My mother died 4 1/2 years ago. She had been blessed with 88 years of life. When the doctors told me my mother was going to die and they had given a prognosis of 3 months, my heart was broken. I prayed night after night for some miracle to take place, as she slipped in and out of a coma she awoke one morning and set straight up and and ask me (my name here) why are you holding me here. You see I was praying for God to keep her here for me, and my sweet sweet Jesus was honoring my prayers. I finally realized my mom had lived her life and she really wanted to go home. I changed my prayers to have thine own way Lord, and forgive me for my selfishness. The morning my mother went home I was holding her hand and I watched her leave here with two guardians, no they didn't have wings but I knew they were especially for her. She looked down at me and in my mind I could hear her say I will see you again soon. She was young and beautiful, in fact I have never seen a picture of my mother until recently that young. I made this post for you, don't be afraid. I don't think the rapture of the Church will be anymore than 10 years. Then we will all meet again. Please go to The Intercessors.com and make a post. Pray for those who are without hope. I will remember you and I will look for you in the air. God Bless you dear one, stay strong and you may IM me anytime. In his Love and Peace...always I don't know how I will die, only when God is done with me , afraid...I suppose its a natural instinct to fear but I can except it. You will see the face of Jesus O My ...to see his face what more could my heart long for.

God Bless you and keep you. I am not afraid to die because I know my destination. Other peoples death scares me much more, those that I care about, my family. You can never be 100% sure where they are headed even if they say they are good to go, Nobody can see their heart accept themselves and Jesus. I'm ready to go when he calls me.

I think you meant to write "I am NOT afraid to die".
Live for Jesus, dear friend! Soon and very soon we shall Him face to face!
Forgive those who have sinned against you! Why hold onto a tarnished penny when, if you let it go, You can have the riches of heaven!?
god bless
