WELCOME TO COFFEE WITH GOD 

By Pastor Jerri

WHEN THE BODY COMES OUT OF THE GRAVE

We were created from the dust of the earth. When our spirit and soul leave our body, the body returns to dust. When our dust is raised from the grave, God reunites it renewed as a spiritual body. This is why we will recognize each other in heaven. Also, this is why no matter how we die, in a fire, in the ocean, eaten by something, or buried, that dust will, by the power of God, come back to meet our spirit and soul, and we will then have our heavenly bodies for eternity, just as Jesus did.

Genesis 2:7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

At the Rapture, we will meet Jesus in the clouds; those in the grave first and those who are still alive just after will go up to meet Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

We who are saved and understand eternity wait eagerly for Jesus to return and take us to heaven.

Romans 8:23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

2 Corinthians 5:2-4 For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

The dead who are not saved will not rise from the grave at this time but will be resurrected after the Millennium (1,000 years) has ended. The Rapture is the first resurrection. Those who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior will be in heaven with Jesus until He comes back to earth for the last battle, and we will follow Him all on white horses. Oh, how wonderful that day will be. The unsaved will come out of the grave to be judged after 1000 years. They will then be cast into hell for eternity. No one will die forever. After the judgments, we will all still live, saved with Jesus, or unsaved in hell eternally. This is why I teach about Salvation; God does not want anyone to go to hell, and neither do I. There is only one way to avoid hell, and that is to accept Jesus as Savior!

Revelation 20:5-6 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Great White Throne Judgement is the last judgement that sends the unsaved people to hell for eternity. The same thing happens to the unsaved bodies at this time; their dust is reunited with their spirit and soul, and they will stand before God to be judged for not accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Revelation 20:11-15 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence, earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

You must accept Jesus as Savior before you die; if you do not, you will not go to heaven but sadly will be judged and sent to hell forever. Please seek Jesus as your Savior, do not go to eternal hell.

Romans 10:8-11 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION IS FOR ALL

Romans 10:9-10 ESV because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

I pray everyone who reads this will seek to know God in the deep and wonderful way of Salvation, all who will accept Jesus as their Savior will receive Salvation and your name will be in the BOOK OF LIFE. Remember that accepting Jesus as Savior means repentance and change in your life!
