1 Corinthians 15:31
New Life Version (NLV)
31 I say this, Christian brothers, I have joy in what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for you. That is why I face death every day.
It is hard to face death. I have had to entertain it for my times than I thought necessary. I guess you are wondering about physical death. Yes, I have faced that too, but the death that I endure most often is internal death. There are parts of me that try to live. They keep coming back like zombies in the night. I killed them once before, but they don't stay dead. They want to be resurrected because Satan is a master counterfeiter. He wants to do what God does. God resurrects dead things and Satan wants to resurrect the dead things in your life. He keeps those old memories of past failures, past victimization and past hurts ready to come back and haunt you. Well, if you killed it the first time, just get your Bible and kill it again. Sometimes, you have to do it once and it never comes back. Other times, you have to do it daily. In certain seasons, you will kill it at six o'clock and then see it walking in your living room at nine. Just kill it again. You may have to starve it by giving it no attention. You may have to strangle it by choking the life out of it. You may have to pray and get some help to cast it. You may have to just lay down and sleep on it, knowing that it cannot live in the light of the new day. Yep, sometimes, you die once and other times, you die daily. Lord hep us.
