The God of the Living

Our God is Yahuwah, the God of the living, not of the the dead:

Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

Yahuwah says His image is in every man:

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

Our saviour said, the Kingdom of God is within us:

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

He even said, we are gods and children of the most high:

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Why do we get sick, get old, and die?

The verses we just cited bring what Yahuwah, God has been telling us since the beginning. He created the universe and created us by putting His image and likeness in the core of our being to keep us alive. Then He placed a silver cord from Him to our heart chakra to sustain the flow of life from Him to us:

Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Yahuwah, God assigned angels to each of us since we were born:

Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Actually, we are in an existential situation where nothing evil can destroy us. We are virtually invincible. In addition to the divine protection outside and inside of our being by virtue of the life giving image of Yahuwah inside us, we have the godly power of mind and emotion to realize our wishes and desires:

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Unfortunately, our divine protection is rendered ineffective by our using our own godly power against it. We are using the power of God in us against us. That is called short circuiting the soul. We are even using it against Yahuwah by contradicting everything that He says in the Bible. Worst, this has become a habit not only in this lifetime but in all the numerous lifetimes that we had. It has become our character.

Only a habit can kill another habit. That means we need to walk in the shadow of our Saviour before He comes again to judge the living and the dead. That shadow is the commandments, the statutes and ordinances laid out in the Bible:

Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of the Messiah.

Amen.
