HOW ABOUT DEATH!
DEATH IS A BIG DEAL… and it is coming!
Death is the final enemy. The Bible says so.
Today many of Satan’s children, plus the ignorant, celebrate death!
Observe the fake graves, the dummies sticking up out of them feet first. Did you ever stop to think that if you saw this in reality it would freak you out and you wouldn’t say: “Cool!” – you wouldn’t crack a smile?!
Pay attention to all of the demonic looking costumes, the witches, the ghosts, the axe murderers! I urge you today to think about what the truth of the occult, false religions, curses, and Satan are! And be bone-chilling terrified if you are not in Christ!
Is the dark side fun? One might think so… One might feel so… But:
Proverbs 14:26
The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.
Numbers 32:23
“But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.
Proverbs 3:7
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
Selah.
Listen to me! Take seriously the warnings of God given to all of us! The darkness is passing away. However many are totally engulfed in it and will remain that way until they die. When they face their judgement at the great white throne their lives will be darker than ever before, never to be lit by God’s holiness again for they want separation from Him. He is the light. Their choice.
Revelation 9:2
When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.
I love you! More and most importantly God loves you!
If you do not believe God, you are a fool (been there!) and you have not paid attention to the One who created you and loved you. His glory has been clearly seen by you and you have spurned Him!
Hell is a horrible consequence for not admitting and worshipping truth. Truth is God:
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
October 31st is a day God has made: every last one of them throughout the years. Satan is a copycat, a liar, and a thief. And on this day where many celebrate death, murder, horrors, the light is still shining…
John 3:16-21
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Many fools celebrate the day of the dead. Death is the final enemy conquered by the blood of the Lamb.
1 Corinthians 15:20-26
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
So, as I walk around, turn on the television, or simply look out the window, I see the celebration of Satan’s and his kingdom all over. But the light is shining and will never be extinguished! I pray you are or become the light of the world and don’t turn back!

1 John 2:8
Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Revelation 20:11-15
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Romans 1:18-23
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
