The Miracle of Death
We often call it a miracle when we witness the Birth of a baby, and correctly so for surely God is the giver of all life, and we do know that every good and perfect gift comes from HIM!
Yes, the miraculous birth of Bille J Gaston to his parents Wille and Lillie Gaston surely must have felt like they personally experienced a miracle from God when they looked into his eyes and saw the gift they had received from GOD.
Who is there among us that can deny the wonder working power of GOD as a baby takes it first breath?
I submit to you my friends, that the same GOD who works miracles in life also is able to work miracles in death.
It’s a sad life, to live your whole life and never have a personal relationship with GOD! Thank God that Deacon Gaston had a long, long relationship with Him, and that he lived a life of service to GOD, his family, and his church.
Because he lived a life of faith in GOD, he was able to experience supernatural miracles in death. He was able to have promises that are not given to the unbeliever , but are reserved for those who have a relationship with Jesus Christ!
Now, I would submit to you, that the greatest miracle in life is to know God through his Son Jesus Christ. It’s a sad life to accumulate money, material things, friends, even family and not have a relationship with our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
We can celebrate today, even in the midst of our tears and fears because Deacon Gaston has experienced the miracle of death. He has been victorious over death, because of the Promises given by the Son of the living GOD!
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 New Living Translation (NLT)
55 O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?[a]”
56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s a Miracle!
Victory over death!
Praise God Almighty!
We come to celebrate because we do not grieve as the unbeliever, but we celebrate knowing that GOD is faithful and just to keep his Soul and deliver him from an eternal Hell!
We can shout hallelujah because we know that The Son of God is able to present him faultless before an eternal and all wise GOD!
Jude 24-25 (KJV)
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
To have the promise that the Savior of the world, is able and willing to present you!
What a miracle!
Kept from falling! What a miracle!
Presented faultless!
What ever he had wrong with him down here it been covered and corrected by the blood of the lamb!
All mistakes!
All Short comings!
All Errors!
All sins!
Everything you or I could possibly find fault in , Jesus has fixed it, cover him with his precious blood and presented him faultless!
In the presence of God almighty!
And he did it with great joy!
What a wonderful, wonderful Miracle!
Billie knew he had some short comings!
He knew that in spite of how hard he tried , he still missed the mark!
He failed trying on his own!
No matter how hard he tried he could not please everyone!
He had some haters!
He had some people who misunderstood him!
But thanks be to GOD he had a savior who died for him and forgave all his sins!
Everyone of them.. big,,, little… medium
He forgave them all!
What a miracle!
He committed sins
He fell short!
But Jesus Christ the Son of GOD loved him enough to die for him so he could enjoy the miracle of everlasting life!
What a miracle!
It was all in GOD’s divine plan!
Before he was ever formed in his mothers womb! God had a plan for him!
He had a plan for good and not evil!
He had a plan for his future and a hope that goes far beyond this life! How do we know this?
.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
What a miracle to have a life with a plan that goes far beyond death! Life is short, it’s a terrible thing to live a short life and not have a plan after death!
It’s a miracle to know you have some where to go when you get tired, weary and worn! Its good to know your should has a resting place from the trials and tribulations of this old world!
Deacon Gaston heard the Voice of the master saying…
Matthew 11:28-29
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Deacon Gaston was a humble and peaceful man, he did not like confusion, he did not like trouble! He was gentle and humble in heart and through the miracles of God, he has found rest for his Soul! Thank God for Jesus!
The Miracle of Death is those who know Jesus Christ have a promise of rest for their souls! They will know the miracle of peace and rest!
No more sickness
No more doctors
No more hospitals
No more pain
Death gave him the victory promised in
Romans 8:37-39
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Miraculous power of GOD’s Love goes beyond death! Nothing is able to separate him from Gods love! We don’t have to worry about him, he is wrapped up, tied up, safe in God’s love! Nothing, a miracle, no one, a miracle, even the powers of hell, a miracle is able to separate him from GOD’s love!
This is an earthly house made of corruptible dust and earth, but thanks be to GOD he now has another House not made of things corruptible, but made of things incorruptible!
Through the wonder working Power of GOD almighty,
1 Corinthians 15:54
So when this corruptible shall have put on in-corruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory
The Miracle of Death will happen
And .
2 Corinthians 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
John 14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
I believe in miracles..
I believe God is true to his word
I believe God was able to do what he said!
I believe God prepared a place for him
I believe God performed a miracle for him even in death!
God came and received him!
Praise God for the Miracle!
