Revelation 3:20: <\/em><\/strong>Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I sent out a tweet regarding, “Are you thinking about dying? Don’t! Because you don’t have to.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We touched on this yesterday and are going to get back to it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not have to think about dying. Plans can work alongside your faith, so make some plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are people that have done some ugly things to me, but I’ve prayed that they don’t die. I want them to keep on living and to have good health, so they can see how God is blessing me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt about it that the Lord is blessing me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to make plans to stay alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe most people die because they just give up and they don’t make plans to stay alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday we talked about the woman with the issue of blood in Matthew 9:20<\/em><\/strong>. She said, “I’m not going to die!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This business of a woman having a menstrual cycle every day for 12 years is hard to live with. Most women would want to die, but this woman wanted to live, and even though she didn’t get to touch Jesus, she reached out and touched the hem of his garment as He was walking by and was made whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I said to all woman yesterday to make a plan that you are not going to die. Most people die because they give in. I know that Paul said it is appointed unto man to die, and I know that death was given as a curse after the Adam and Eve in the Garden, but I’m not making plans to die but I am making plans to live older than Methuselah. If he can do it, so can I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your plans, and don’t plan to die or to get old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I told women to do like the woman with the issue of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I have a verse for the men, the Simeone confession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 2:18-33: <\/em><\/strong>18 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And all they that heard it wondered at those things which had told them by the shepherds.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

19 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called <\/em><\/strong>Jesus<\/em><\/strong>, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

22 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

23 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>(As it is written in the law of the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong>, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

24 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

26 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

27 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

28 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

29 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

31 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

32 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

33 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Jesus was born, the Holy Ghost told Simeon that he would not die before he had seen the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, God told him that he would not die until he saw God’s salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am saying to the brothers, you need to decide that you are not going to die until you see ATLAH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brothers, you need to decide that you are not going to die until you become a righteous man, a man with possessions, and authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t hang out with people that go around talking about death all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me personally, I’m not going to die until I see Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’s more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 2:34-39: <\/em><\/strong>34 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

35 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

36 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

37 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fasting\u2019s and prayers night and day.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

38 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And she, coming in that instant, gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

39 <\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Anna, this woman was a widow and she never left the temple for 84 years, and her job was to bless Jesus as well, and she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brothers, decide that you are not going to die until you make it big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People die because they allow themselves to die, and some people get sick because they allow themselves to get sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’m not dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to let our young people know that they can live past 40 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your plans if you are planning on dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your plans and your thoughts ought to be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t want my enemies to die because the Lord shall prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My enemies are going to walk by and see me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalms 23:5: <\/em><\/strong>Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, plan to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord needs you. I need you. You are not any good to me dead, so don’t be so quick to want to check out of here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus needs you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can find a virtuous woman nowadays? It’s hard. Most of them are loose, crazy, and idealistic. It’s hard to find a virtuous woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can find a righteous man? It’s hard, but it’s harder if you are dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is going to replace you if you die?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
