Into the Lake of Fire

Rev.20:14

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Oh how I rejoice to read this verse!

We all die a little each day but it is a totally different thing to watch someone you love die from cancer. They waste away each and everyday and you can do nothing except to hide your tears from them.

Hospice is a collective group of caregivers who take care of the dying.
Hospice has social workers, chaplains, nurses, men who deliver the needed equipment to keep the patients comfortable and the blessed ones who minister to the personal needs of the dying, baths etc.
Hospice is an incredible tool in your loved one's death journey. They offer pain management which is a huge blessing.

Death makes me hate sin all the more!   
Sin brought death but death has been defeated by the blood of Christ.
Satan is our enemy!
Sin is our enemy!
Death is our enemy!

1 Corinthians 15:26 
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death

Christ is...
Revelation 1:18 
18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades

Christ the redeemer...
Col.2:14
14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross

Ephesians 2:15 
15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace

1 Peter 2:24 
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed

Satan will...
Revelation 14:10 
10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.


Revelation 20:10 
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever



Christ will...
Revelation 21:4 
4 he will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Lord, we praise You for the power that is found in You. The power of salvation, the power to destroy death, the power to destroy Satan, the incredible mercy You have shown to us who deserve judgment,
and Your obedience to the God the Father are far beyond man's comprehension! Forgive me when I fall into rebellion. Teach me how to love, to teach your word, to show mercy and to forgive. Let me be a blessing to the ones who need a blessing. Teach me to be quite, to listen and really hear from the heart. Amen
