  Speaker 1: Dear, have any grace is God. As we come before
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your holy presence, we ask your forgiveness for each and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: every known sin that's in our lives, and we thank
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you for what Jesus Christ did at across the calvary
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: for each one of us. As we enter the message,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we actually allow your Holy Spirit to take the message
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and make it real, make it clear that out of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it all, only Jesus Christ is glorified in this precious name.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We ask him. Thank you all man, Welcome back to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Challenges of Faith Radio program. I am Garry McCann's thank
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you for joining. The question is how many kinds of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: deaths are they? I know you know the answer as
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a believer of the Household of Faith. You've gotten into
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the Word of God, you're studying, you're asking the Holy
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God to illuminate his words. There are three
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: kinds of death and scripture, you have a physical death,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: which is the separation of the spirit from the body.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And that's what you and I call normally death. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: when you get back in the Word and know you did,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I know you are. Do you remember that Adam didn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: actually die physically until nine hundred and thirty years after
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the fall. You remember that, and then you have the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: spiritual death. And Paul says that to be carnally minded
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: as death, which is from God. And this is what
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: happened to man in the garden of Eden, where God
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: said that man would die in the day he ate
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of the fruit. And I know there are those of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you who were saying it was an apple, but the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: word of God doesn't say that. But the most important
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: part is that what God said, man became separated from God. Remember,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Adam hid from God. He ran from God. When God
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: came into the garden, there was now a separation between them.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Is that a separation between you and God today? But
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: when you get back into the world, you know said
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Adam did in fact die the day he ate the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: fruit of spiritual death. And Paul describes the spiritual death
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in Ephesians chapter two, verse one. The word not gary.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And you have he quickened made alive who were dead
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and trespasses and sins. You know, the story is told
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of a judge, and the judge gave a speech entitled
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: millions now living will never die. Then there was a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: past or that gave a speech entitled millions now living
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: already dead and they were dead, spiritually dead. And then
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you have the third death, eternal death, and that's the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: eternal separation from God. This is the second death prescribed
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in Revelation chapter twenty, verse fourteen, and the word says
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and death and hell were casting to the lake of fire.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This is the second death of Christ has conquered death
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: all death. And you look at it. In First Corinthian
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen, verse fifty five through fifty seven. I know
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you turn. Paul said, old death, where is thy sting,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: old grave? Where is thy victory? The sting of death
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: is sin and the strength of sinners the law. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: thanks be to God which give us up the victory
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: through our Lord Jesus Christ. You know we're not getting
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: any victory through you and me and me and you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and any man, one woman, a man, but through Christ.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And another story is told of a Bible teacher who
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: said that since God had taken the sting out of death,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it's like a bee that has a stinger removed. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know, when you really think about it, you can't
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: tell when a bee stinger has been removed because you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: can't stop every bee at ass do you have a stinger?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I'm reminded that even when I was younger and at
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Ohaosta University by the tennis court and a bee stung
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: me and I couldn't breathe, and I ran to the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: hospital and was treated. Today, I'm still afraid of every beat.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Death has lost his sting because we're to look past death.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's a doorway that opens up the vastness of eternity.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: It starts us down that hallway, not of time, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of eternity. And I don't know about you, I don't
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like going through that door. Our loved ones have already gone,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: but old grave whereas they victory because it looks as
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: if the grave wins. Many people have been successful in life,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know it's true, but death finally took down like
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: my loved ones, the loved family members and yours and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: yours and yours. Many politicians have been elected, whether it's local, state, federal,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and then they die, as you know recently President Carter
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in Ohio, former Hoiose State Senator Ben Espie, Warmer Columbus o'hion,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: first black police chief James Jackson, and individuals who unfortunately
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: lost their life in DC. On that plane and helicopter
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: they reached the heights, but death walks in on them
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and claims of victory. Death is cruel. It's cruel, hiever.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Christ has been through that way, just as the Ark
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of the Covenant went down into the Jordan River. You
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: can see that in Joshure chapter three, verse fourteen through
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: seventeen and over to the other side. So Christ has
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: gone through the waters of death for me, for me,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: for me, and for you. And he tells us I'm
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: your shepherd. Remember I know only lead you through this life,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but I'll lead you through the deep waters of death,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and I'll bring you into eternity. So like a little child,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid, but I'll put my hand in his nail
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: pierced hand and He'll leave you to the other side,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: old grave. Where is that victory? The sting of death
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: is sin. It's sin that has a real stinger. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the strength of sin is the laws of Mariadis shows
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you and I that we're sinners. But thanks to God,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: which gives us the victory. And how does he do that?
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Because you and I are intelligent, because you and I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: are slick overcomers. The victory is through our Lord Jesus Christ,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: life and living. I know that's what you're doing. Today
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is ours. And I don't know about you, but I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: want to enjoy life. Death is ours. We have the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: one who got the victory over death. Remember, things present,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to things of time, and things in the future are
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: all ours, and we're more than conquerors through Him who
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: loved us. As I take a sip of my water,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: there's comfort in the fact that Christ has conquered death,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and those who have received him need not sorrow as
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: others do. Remember the last time our discussion about crime.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But in First Desalonias, chapter four, verse fifteen, for this
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that we which are live, remain unto the coming of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: by the word of the Lord is Paul's assurance that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he's giving God's answer to their question. And you got
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to think about a Paul knows they'd been worried about
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: those who have died before the rapture and wants them
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to know that the dead and Christ will have part
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in the rapture. We which are alive and remain until
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: are asleep. And we look at preventing. For those of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you who do like that. It's an old English word
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: meaning precede. Those who are alive at the time of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the rapture will not be going ahead of them. In fact,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the dead and Christ will be going first and in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: first as the loneliest Chapter four, verse sixteen. For the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the voice of the arch angel, with the trump of God,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Think about
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord himself shall descend from heaven. He's not gonna
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be sending angels when the Lord takes this church out
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of the world. Remember now church is not a building.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's believers of a household of faith who have except
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to Christ by faith. But when the Lord takes this
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: church out of the world, the Lord himself shall descend
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: from heaven. And in John chapter fourteen, verse three, he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: assured his disciples that he was coming again. And if
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I go and prepare a place for you, I will
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: come again and receive you unto myself. That where I
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: am there you maybe also he will descend from heaven
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: with a shout. That's the voice of command. It's the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: same voice which he used when he stood at the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: tomb of Lazra's and said, Lazarus come fourth. And you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: can see that in John chapter eleven, verse forty three.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And when you look at the voice of the arch angel,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it's his voice that would be like the voice of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the arch Angel. It's the quality of his voice, the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: majestic and the authority of it. The trumpet God, will
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: there be trumpets at that time? I don't think so.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's his voice that's gonna be a trumpet. And can
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: we be sure that? Yeah, if you look at Revelations
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: chapter one, verse ten, John, who was exiled to the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Isle of Patmos, wrote, I was in the spirit on
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the Lord's day and heard behind me a great voice,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: as of a trumpet. He turned to see who it was,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and he saw the glorified Christ. It's the voice of
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the glorified Christ that it's like the sound of a trumpet.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And you know, and when you really really think about that,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: should do away? Was the thought about Gabriel blowing his
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: horn or blowing a trumpet. I don't even think Gabriel
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: even owns a trumpet. But if he has one, he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: won't need to blow it. The Lord Jesus is not
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: going to need the help of Gabril. I mean, think
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about it. You think the Lord Jesus Christ needed Gabriel
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to come and help him raise Latras from the dead.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine the Lord Jesus Christ at the tomb
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of Latr saying, Gabriel, once you come over here and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: help me get this man out of the grave. The
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ won't need anybody to help him when
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: he calls his church. The bodies will come up out
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of the graves. And first, that's the longest chapter, fourth
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: verse seventeen. Then we which are alive and remain shall
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: be caught up together with them in the clouds to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: ever be with the Lord. And again, look, get the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: work caught up? Is the Greek are pot so many
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to grasp hastily snatch up to lift transport or rapture,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And it's gonna be an ordly procedure. The dead is
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: gonna rise. First, here you got Stephen coming out of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the grave, and he might be the one leading the procession,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: since he was the first martyr. And then there's gonna
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: be the apostles and all those millions upon millions upon
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: millions upon millions upon millions who have laid down their
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: lives for Jesus Christ. And they'll just keep coming right
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: through the centuries. Finally, if we are alive at that time,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: we'll be in the parade. We'll be at the end
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of it. Most of the church, the body of believers,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: are already gone through the doorway of death. The word
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: lets us know in first does the Lonian chapter four,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: verse eighteen, wherefore comfort one another with these words? And
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: when you look at that dude, does it say that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Paul is saying, wherefore terrified scare each other with these words? No,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the Word of God says, wherefore comfort one another. It
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: only means the comfort and the usual sense of the word,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: but also to instruct and encourage one another. To talk
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: about these things. My brethren, my brethren, my brethren of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the House of the Faith, Our save is gonna take
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: his own out of this world. And you're talking about
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a powerful comfort. And think about the bodies of the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: dead is gonna be lifted up. Then whoever is alive
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: at that time is gonna be caught up together with
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: them to meet the Lord in the air. So shall
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: we ever be with the Lord. Even so, come Lord Jesus,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: he's you're ain closer
