Lost Loved
Ones
A Powerful Word For Those Who Have Lost Loved Ones
By:
For what it is
worth, I thought I would pass this incredible testimony onto the rest of you.
Awhile back ago on TBN, they had a
middle-aged couple on one of their talk shows that were really anointed.
They
had their own church and ministry, but I cannot recall where it was at. Part of
their testimony was on the death of their young daughter.
Here
they were, serving God full time with their church and ministry, and their
daughter ends up dying at a fairly young age.
I came in on the story right as they
were talking about it. I did not catch the age of the daughter or what the
cause of her death was.
The
wife had really been wrestling with God. How could You take her away from us so
early in her life, how could You allow this to happen, why didn’t You heal her,
why didn’t You protect her?
Both
the wife and husband were really having a hard time in getting over her early
death with the Lord.
They could not understand or get a
direct answer from God as to why He allowed their daughter to be brought home
at such a young age and rob the both of them the joy of seeing their daughter
grow up.
After
all of this wrestling with the Lord for quite sometime, the wife said she then
received a direct word from the Holy Spirit that immediately set her free from
her mental captivity. And boy did I get a whopper witness off this Word!
I
will give you exactly what the Word was and an additional revelation that God
gave the both of them on the death of their young daughter.
For
those of you who have lost close, loved ones in your past – grab a hold of this
direct Word from the Lord.
This Word from the Lord has been used
by this couple to set many other people free from the depression and anger they
have slipped into as a result of not being able to deal with the death of a
close loved one.
The wife said she was in the kitchen
when she heard the Holy Spirit speak directly to her.
The words were: “Your daughter is no longer in the past – she is now in the future.”
Think about these words!
The wife said as soon as she heard these words – she
immediately knew what God was trying to tell her and it immediately set both
her and her husband completely free of the mental torment they were still going
through with the death of their daughter.
God
was telling them that their daughter was no longer in their past. She had died
and she was now in heaven with God and Jesus!
God
was telling them that they now had to move on with their lives, to let the past
go, including the death of their daughter, and to continue to press forward
into the divine call that He had placed on both of their lives.
Their daughter is now in their
future!
When they both die, they will both
cross over into heaven and be immediately reunited with their daughter once
again.
God was telling them to change the
“angle” with which they were looking at their daughter’s death from.
Instead of seeing her as being “dead
in the past” – start seeing her as being “fully alive in heaven” – and
understand that you will be reunited with her once again in a very short period
of time.
Our time on this earth is not even a
blink of an eye compared to the eternal time frame that is operating in heaven.
1. You have to step back and look
at the big picture. We are all going to die and cross over – no exceptions!
Some
just go sooner than others. When you die is irrelevant.
What
you do with the time that you have down here is what really matters.
It’s
quality – not quantity!
When
you really grasp the meaning of the words that the Holy Spirit spoke to her –
you understand that they should actually be rejoicing.
Their
daughter is now in the most perfect place imaginable and they are both
guaranteed to be reunited with her once they die and cross over.
They
should be keeping the picture of their daughter in front of them – in their own
personal futures – which will also be heaven for the both of them when they die
and cross over.
God was also telling them that if
they did not quit wallowing in their past, they would eventually die in their
past, and they would no longer be able to move forward for Him because they
would end up staying stuck in their past.
Too
many people are bound up with things that have happened to them in their past.
They cannot let go of some of the bad things that may have occurred in their
past.
As
a result, their past slowly starts to eat away at them until they get to a
point where they no longer have any joy or zest for living.
They
then start slipping into depressions and then lose all of their desire to even
want to live anymore.
2. Shortly after receiving this direct revelation from the
Lord and being set free, they came across a woman who had also lost her son.
Her
son had died about a year ago and the woman had slipped into a severe
depression. She had literally boarded up her house, closed all the drapes and
curtains, and would no longer even go outside.
She
had completely shut down due to the pain and heartache she was going through at
losing her son at what apparently was also a fairly young age.
This
couple had given their testimony on the above revelation to a church this woman
had been attending.
The testimony was taped and one of
the church members then slipped the tape to this woman who had boarded herself
up in her house.
The
woman took the tape into her bedroom. She listened to it over and over again
all night along, literally until the sun broke at dawn.
When
the sun broke at dawn, she later testified that she knew God was speaking to
her through this couple’s testimony on this tape.
She said the message and revelation
from this couple that was on this tape set her free from the mental captivity
that she had placed herself under as a result of not being able to see the
truth of her son’s death.
The
Bible says that the truth will set you free and this is a perfect example of
this biblical truth coming into full operation!
Once she heard the revelation given
by the Holy Spirit to this couple – she knew she had been looking at her son’s
death from the wrong angle.
Her son is now in heaven and she
should be looking forward to being reunited with him in heaven once she crosses
over – not dwelling on his death, which was now in her past.
Once
she fully grasped what God was trying to tell her, and it apparently took all
night for this revelation to really sink into her mind, she was finally set
free and was able to start fully living again.
This
couple said that these specific words spoken to them by the Holy Spirit has
helped many other people deal with the death of their close loved ones.
Bible Verses For Death of
Loved Ones
1. Here are 3 good verses from Scripture that will back up
the words spoken to this couple by the Holy Spirit.
·
“But
Jesus said to him, ‘No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back,
is fit for the kingdom of God.’” (Luke 9:62)
· “…
but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching
forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal for the prize
of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)
Look
at the words in this second verse: “forgetting those things which are behind” and “reaching forward
for those things which are ahead.”
This verse perfectly lines up with
what the Holy Spirit was trying to tell this couple – to let the death of their
daughter go, which was now in their past, and to look forward, to press forward
for the things which are now ahead of them in their futures.
And
one of the things ahead for this couple in their futures will be their own
physical deaths and their own crossing over into heaven and being reunited with
their daughter, where they will never be separated from her ever again!
2. This next verse talks about plowing forward in hope.
“… he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes
in hope should be a partaker of his hope.” (1 Corinthians 9:10)
This
verse is telling us that each one of us should continue to plow for God with whatever
time we still have left down here on this earth – with the understanding that
we will eventually be reunited with all of our saved loved ones who have gone
home before us.
And
not only should we continue to plow forward with this hope in mind, but we
should also be a partaker of that hope.
In other words, really believe that
when you die, you will be reunited with all of your saved loved ones, and this
time it will be for good – for all of eternity!
Heaven
is going to be the final and ultimate reward for all Christians.
The Bible tells us that we cannot
even begin to imagine all of the good things that God will have in store for
all of those who will be entering into His dwelling place.
But one thing we do know for sure –
we will all be given the two greatest rewards any human can ever hope to
receive once we cross over to the other side.
· We will forever be united with God the Father and His Son
Jesus Christ and we will be able to have direct contact and fellowship with the
both of Them for the rest of all of eternity.
· And then to top it all off – we will forever be reunited
with all of our saved loved ones who have made it into heaven, and we will once
more be able to enjoy the friendships that we had established with each one of
them while living down here on this earth.
Now
that’s an incredible one-two punch that can’t be beat. And to top it all off,
there will be mansions and who knows what else from God the Father.
For all those of you who have lost
very close loved ones, you have to step back and see the real big picture – the
real ending to the story.
So many people have lost the rest of
their earthly lives because they could never get over the death of a close
loved one.
And the reason they could not get
over their deaths is due to the fact that they were looking at their deaths
from the wrong “angle.”
The Holy Spirit gave this couple what I feel is a very
powerful and liberating Word on this subject. He gave them a Word that was
pure, solid, God-truth.
And
once you receive a direct truth from God the Father – it will set you free if
you are willing to accept it and then work with it.
The
other thing that happened with this couple is that before they received this
direct Word from the Lord, they found themselves taking their daughter’s
pictures and photos out of a lot of their family portraits because it was too
painful for them to see her and to be reminded of her death.
After
receiving the above Word from the Lord, they were then told to put all of her
pictures back in with the rest of the family pictures.
He
told them that she was not dead – that she was fully alive in heaven – and that
they should all be rejoicing because their time would come when they would all
be reunited with her once again.
They
were told not to try and put her out of their memory. They were to keep intact
all of her photos and all of their memories of her.
They
were all to look forward to the future when they would once again be reunited
with her in heaven.
When
this couple received all of the above from God the Father through the Holy
Spirit, they were then all set free from the mental captivity they had placed
themselves under, and they were then able to pick themselves back up and get
back into fully living in their present again.
The
other revelation that the wife received from God the Father was on the question
as to why – why did God allow her daughter to be taken home so early?
God
basically told her there will be times when He will not tell you why He allows
something specific to happen in your life, like the early death and departure
of a close loved one.
Sometimes
it may be better that you not know why God brings someone home so early.
Maybe that person was going to have
something really bad happen to them somewhere down the road and God wanted to
spare them the pain of having to go through it – so He arranges to have them
brought home early.
There
could be many different reasons as to why God may have brought this person home
early, and maybe with half of those reasons you are better off not knowing.
She
finally came to the conclusion that if it was God’s will that she not know why
He had brought her daughter home so early – that she would simply have to trust
God that He did have a good enough reason to bring her home early and to let it
go at that!
The
Bible says that we can only “know in part.”
We will never get all of the answers
to all of life’s problems and dilemmas. God will answer many of our questions
if He is properly approached.
The
Bible says to “ask,
and you will receive.”
But
when God does decide not to answer a specific question you may have, then you
have to accept the fact that He has a good enough reason not to give you His
answer, trust that He knows what He is doing and what is best for the situation
at hand – and then move on with the rest of your life.
If
you don’t, you will run the risk of getting stuck in the misery of your past.
And if you do not pull up out of the
misery of your past, then you will never fully accomplish whatever God’s
perfect plan and destiny would have been for your life.
Conclusion
For those of you who have had a very difficult time in
accepting the death of a close loved one, really chew on the above Word given
to this couple by the Holy Spirit.
For
those of you who may know someone who is really having a hard time handling the
death of a close loved one like a child, a spouse, a parent, or a best friend,
give them a copy of this article and/or sit down with them and give them the
above Word from the Spirit of God.
Share
the above testimony with them on this couple and the other woman who had lost
her son.
Pray
that God will move in on them with illumination and insight so they can fully
grasp and understand that even though the death of a close loved one is a very
painful experience, that their loved one’s death is now a new beginning for them.
Their
close loved one is now in the most perfect place imaginable and they will be
reunited with them once again in just a very short period of time.
This life on this earth is just for a
very brief moment in the eternal scheme of things – but the life to come, where
they are at now, will be forever.
Remember what the Holy Spirit Himself has spoken – your
loved one is no longer “dead in your past” – your loved one is now “fully alive
in your future” – which is heaven.
