My mother was laying in the hospital after learning she had two brain tumors which had spread to her spinal fluid and she was losing her capabilities. She did not speak very much, but she was so calm. A calmness I had never seen before. She was talking to someone and when asked who was there she said “angels I assume. They are telling me I will be fine”…. She spoke about going on a trip and what she was bringing… when I asked her where she was going, she laughed….. but never answered where. She died within 25 days of her diagnosis, her decline was swift~ but she was ready. We weren’t, but I believe she was ready to be with the Lord and all who loved her that had gone before her. I was so blessed to be with her during her last days, weeks, moments and breath. She is with Him!! Praise God!! ❤️❤️❤️miss you mommy.

Oh my goodness! Pastor Nolan, you are the very 1st person that has spoken similar words that I have spoken (and meant every word of it). I'm referring to feeling like a fish out of water! I am exactly like this! I have always felt like I just do not belong here, I feel like I'm on an extended vacation somewhere visiting.
When I went to Israel, I felt the very same way! I had this wonderful overwhelmingly feeling that made me never want to leave. I loved it so much. I just felt something unexplainable. So awesome.
I also have heard from the Holy Spirit. I pray frequently and when my husband or I have a question, without fail we will get the answer within a day or two. We will hear on the radio, or maybe while listening to a sermon or reading something. One way or another, we get our answer & when it comes we are usually not expecting it or thinking of it & then we will be in awe & praise our LORD. Other times I have just heard Him speak in my heart, sometimes in a dream. There have been countless ways that I hear from our LORD. Funny thing, He has even reassured my husband about things concerning me, and my husband is always amazed 🤗 I truly wish everyone everywhere knew what an incredibly wonderful and awesome God we serve
I also have a list of worship songs to play at my funeral because I like you also believe it should be a celebration! I never really had a big party ever, not birthdays or wedding etc... but I want a huge party when I finally go home to our LORD (& not at a funeral home type of place either, somewhere festive)! I have also gotten the morbid comments & even the you're just depressed ... but I'm not! I love GOD, the father I never had. Christ for the incredible sacrifice that I am so not worthy of. And His Holy Spirit for the endless help and guidance that kept me from mistakes and displeasing events against our heavenly Father.
Thank you (once again) Pastor Nolan for another favorite sermon full of great details and knowledge & for helping me not feel so alienated

Oh how I wished more people would hear this. I am so glad that God led me to hear Paster Allen Nolan. Thank you Paster Allen for teaching what we need and not sugar coat things.

I’m not afraid of dying. I talk to Him throughout the day and sometimes just start singing my favorite hymns…It is no secret what God can do…How great thou art and I’ve got a mansion.

[coracee]

Thank you very much for sharing this much needed and appreciated message. May God bless you abundantly.

Before my daughter died I heard Gods voice. It was a deep voice & he just called my 1st name & I knew it was God...Amen.

[matewosberhanu]

Amen

I recently was floxed by fluroquinolones and they cause all kinds of nervous system damage, tendon ruptures and more.
There's plenty of horror stories and black box warnings about what people are suffering. Suicides and mental health problems like waves of panic attacks.
Recently I was given Ciproflaxin and had a pretty bad immediate reaction that increasingly got worse.
It's been over a month and I am some better, but when I'm not doing so good and those waves of intense panic wash over me and I don't have my Loving, comforting sense of God with me as I pray to Him for help and relief, it is a horrible feeling.
I wonder why God is allowing me to suffer this way again.
I've suffered severe CPTSD, but why do I have to go through such horrible mental health issues like that again.
I keep praying anyway, even when I can't sense Him there with me.
The waves do pass and His presence is sensed by me again. Thank goodness, but that's when I think about death being scary.
What if I can't sense God's presence for any number of reasons.
Illness, injury, dementia, terminal agitation etc.
I pray when I die, I sense God's presence and have peace and Love all around me.

What does a person do who’s 75 already! I’ve been saved since age 10, filled with the Spirit since 13. But all my life I’ve been inconsistent. Now I’m 75.

[cssmith]

It's not death that I fear but it's the way of dying you know such as drowning or getting my throat slit open by a knife 🔪 or even going to suck out of an airplane at 30, 000 feet because these kind of ways of dying are just so painful and yes I'm a Christian too.

[thirdplace]

I'm afraid to die because I'm terrified of God.

[geraldwhite]

I'm afraid of death because I am not sure of my salvation. I anticipate pain and suffering. I'm afraid I won't go to heaven but end up in HELL.
