Drugs and alcohol
People are dying every second in the world, many in tragic situations others with health issues. Families in the whole world desperately search for consolation and most of them cannot find it. Many of them try different approaches and start using drugs and alcohol and later they become addicts to these substances. This approach can cause more pain and depression, which can lead them to increase the statistics above. Unfortunately, alcohol abuse and drugs are killers and many people ignored them.
Pain Relief
Others try to contact their beloved consulting MEDIUMS that is not possible and accepted by God. The Bible clearly condemns the practice of Spiritism. For example, King Saul loved the prophet Samuel and struggled for a long time when he died. God for instance was no longer in favor of Saul because he disobeyed his commands. The prophet Samuel loved Saul and always helped him in moments of difficulties until one day God rebuked Samuel because what he was doing was not right. One day Samuel died and King Saul was desperate without hope or support from someone who understands him and loves him as the prophet Samuel. Unfortunately, he decided to consult a medium and he wanted to get advice from Samuel. This is what the Bible says:
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!” The king said to her, “Have no fear; what do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a divine being coming up out of the ground” (1 Samuel 28:12,13). Since he desperately wanted to talk to Samuel, Saul fooled himself into believing that he was actually talking to the prophet Samuel. These are her words “I see a divine being coming up out of the ground.” The book of Proverbs 15:16 says, “The path of life leads upward for the wise that he may keep away from Sheol below.” Samuel did not appear in this meeting but an evil spirit from Sheol disguised as Samuel. The spirit said that Saul was going to die in the hands of his enemy and he killed himself at the end instead of dying in the battle. The evil spirit already knew that God was going to finish Saul’s career as a king. God already had someone who was going to perform a better job than Saul did.
The Devil’s work
The book of Thessalonians 2:9-10 says: “The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.”
A lovely way to die
For those who die with God, they are in a peaceful place and God is satisfied seeing his children in a safe place. There is no reason for anyone to search for comfort other than Jesus who said that all those who believed in him will resurrect one day.
Surrender
Have you already surrendered your life to Jesus? If not this is the right moment. He said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him on the last day.” John 6:44. Your friends and relatives who died in Christ will be glad to see you again, but if you do not accept God’s salvation plan, this will not be possible because there are only two places after death, heaven, and hell. If you had, a chance to get this message is because God is leading you to Jesus. Pray to God in the name of Jesus and he will show you the right path for you to walk through. Read the Bible and learn more about Jesus and his passion for you. God bless you!
