    I use to fear death until I saw my Dad die. He had a horrible death.. he breathed like a fish out of water for over 24 hours. Right before that process I was reading the Word to him and he started saying they’re gone (his arms were bloody with a bunch of open wounds) I asked what was happening and he said the Great Physician healed me.. I said Dad do you see Jesus, he said yes there’s salvation here! The dying process might be painful but the second we see our Makers face we will fall at His feet in adoration for all Christ has done for us. I can’t wait to worship Jesus perfectly in heaven ❤

      Praise God…you went through so much sharing with your father’s illness, and his death, as I watched and was by both my parents life while they suffered and died…and my father died in front of me. I witnessed to them for about 30 years…and both finally came to Jesus before The Lord took them. But, no much how much we love them still, and I sometimes relive those memories, we know…this life here in comparison to eternity is a flash in the pan. Your testimony is so inspiring that your father saw Jesus…wow…just like Stephen in scripture…he suffered greatly, but Saw Jesus and was witnessing even in his death! God had your father already in His hands before He took him home! Your comment will bring hope to the hundreds or millions who may read this! Your tears of both missing him are also mixed with tears of joy!!! We will be praying for you sister…we love you, Alisa ✝🩸❤🙌👑🇺🇸🦋👏🏼🇮🇱🐑🥰🐏🐳

    I am an attempted murder survivor. Doctor did everything for me on the table he could. He went to go get a toe tag and some time later I came back to life but stayed in a coma for 4 days. In that time I met Jesus. No one to this day has those eyes. Without saying a word I saw all the Love,Pain,Suffering,Understanding and Compassion that any one person could ever have experienced. I was hearing,smelling,breathing,tasting,hearing and seeing Love. There are no words on this planet to accurately describe what I went through. Imagine sitting cradled in your momma's lap rocking in a chair. The security and feeling safe and loved. Now multiply it a hundred million,bazillion times and you might get an understanding of the volume and quality of Love Jesus has for us. I do not fear death. I am ready to go home to my Lord Jesus when He decides to do so.

      ​@@SullyOrange I am blessed that you are touched. Jesus told me I had a lot of work to do. I have been wondering about this since 1981 when my event happened.
      I can only speculate that I was to get right with Him and maybe be a sower of a mustard seed to those that do not believe. And possibly be a witness for everyone that we can turn to Him when everything has bern taken awsy.
      I had to relearn to tie my shoes. I couldn't keep a job. I had to forgive the guys that tried to kill me or else I could not be forgiven of my sins. I went through 9 years of pure Hell.
      But I ALWAYS had Jesus in my storms. I literally had nowhere to go but up.
      I am a walking,talking miracle but only because if the Grace of God.

      I had a seizure when I was 20 and a discovery of a brain tumor. I was in great shape, working in construction. I was actually away from the Lord, and I was scared that I would go to hell honestly. I remember being in a Christian ( Methodist hospital) and after the surgery I was in ICU and my nurse came in and gave me the tv remote and I felt extremely off my rocker. I couldn’t eat for 2 days I was extremely hungry and medicated. I turned on the tv and I remember just turning my head in somewhat comfortable position and I started to watch tv and it was about early Christians being persecuted for the cause of Christ and I instantly had peace and felt Gods presence like I had never felt before.
      I had chemo and radiation, I got right with God and I’m completely changed person. I’ve been to hospital over 300 times but God is there!!! And He lives within me.

There has been other times where prayer is accepted, and I’m able to look right into their eyes and PRAY, “put your hope in Jesus!” Those are the beautiful moments that I love where the Lord has led me to my profession. I’ve come close to death at least 2 times a hairs breath away. I’ve been with close family and friends who have died. Theirs and mine hope is in Jesus ❤️

When the truck came to a stop suddenly whatever was pulling on him was gone, he was all scrapped up but otherwise unharmed and he never could figure out what could have caught onto his pants to drag him down the driveway.

      As a young teen, the brakes on my bike failed and the rest of the speeding ride down the twisting canyon road was a horrifying trauma that ended in a crash into a rock retaining wall. Heaven was beautiful, until they sent me back to do the work set before me. The crash and aftermath still haunts me at age 72.

    I knew God was close when i was door knocking the gospel in a neighboring town. We finished later than expected and the sun was going down and becuse of that i missed the opportunity to go to the shop and pick up some eggs which i planned to do when we had finished. I also didnt know what i was going to cook for our evening meal as my children were staying with a relative while i was evangelising that day, on the way home i mumbled something to the Lord about this. When i got home a lady from church was waiting on my front lawn with a pot of stew and a dozen eggs. She hugged me and said well done, i really felt like Jesus had visited me that day. It was wonderful.

      It is not. It probably can be. But where people blame the devil for things, it's mostly of our own making. We are ego, we are afraid, we are loving and caring, we are sad, happy, have anxieties, we have worries. It is part of being human. But when we have God on the team to pull this load together with us, it becomes easier. It doesn't take away worries most of the time. It helps not being alone about the worries.
      But if it's from the devil, we are supposed to be able to make the devil flee from us and resist him. If we are believing that, and still get afraid or worried - what does that say about your faith? You haven't got much faith then if you can't resist the devil. It doesn't say we are supposed to resist the devil partially, and make him flee partially. Nope. The truth is that we are capable of these emotions ALL ON OUR OWN. And the moment one stops ignoring it and stops blaming the devil for everything, that's when you can start doing something about the emotions that are not working for you.

I didn't know why but didn't think about it much. As he's driving me to work I get a really bad migraine and a churning in my stomach that wouldn't go away. By the time we reached my job, I had a full blown seizure. He took me to the hospital straight after and that's when I was not allowed to drive even today.

    You asked us to share a story about God protecting us. This story isn't about me and it sounds so fantastical that some may not believe it. However, it is 100% true and one of the most glaringly obvious times God watched over my daughter. I want to give him all the praise and honor and glory for this.
    She was in her 20s and she drove a black Celica with the sport package, so for her it was a sports car and she drove it like one. One day she was in traffic in the far left lane on a 3 lane highway. Her lane was clear so she was flying at 80 mph. She did not have a seatbelt on. She had a lit cigarette that she tried to throw out the window. It blew back in, landing at her feet. She bent down to reach it and swerved. She fish tailed wildly and people were trying to get away from her. The rear left bumper caught the concrete median and she went airborne. Flipping end over end through the air she could see cars whizzing under her. The car hit the shoulder whereupon it started rolling side over side until it slid a couple of hundred feet or so to a stop on its roof.
    When the paramedics got there one ran to her where she was sitting by the side of the road. He asked her if she had been in that car and when she said yes he apparently told her "whoa! You should be dead!". No mention of not wearing a seatbelt; I believe the assumption was even with a seatbelt she should not have survived. Here's the part that is so ridiculous it shows that God has a sense of humor. When the paramedic asked her where she hurt (again, assuming some medical consequence), she complained that her toe was bleeding where she had scratched it kicking the window open to get out. (Typing tha and remembering the whole thing has me weeping right now).
    When she called me (still sitting on the side of the road waiting for a ride) I kind of went into shock. First, the horror of the realization that I almost lost her. Then the knowledge that she had survived and just who had saved her. Make a long story shorter - she said that when the car became airborne it felt like someone put their arms around her waist and held her tightly as the car rolled. When it came to a stop she fell gently dropped into the passenger side floor (actually the roof). It was practically the only part that wasn't smashed. Weirdly the windows didn't break so she had to kick one out. Maybe God wanted her to have a scar to remember his mercy and grace that day.
    Many years later in my quiet and prayer time with the Lord, I remembered the accident. I became overwhelmed, joyfully weeping at how he had saved her. I said to him, not expecting any kind of answer "Lord, I don't know why you saved her but thank you again!" I don't know if it was me or him, but I heard in my "heart" the words "I saved her for YOU".

      @@pattyconley4096 I've wasted a lot of time too. It's never too late. Good works can be the homeless guy at the gas station who is hungry. I don't give them money, I buy them food. Saying a kind word to someone; you never know how much they need it. Even smiling at a stranger who looks down is a good work. Good works are not always something we do over and over, like cleaning the church on the weekend or being on a prayer team. If you know someone who is elderly or sick, ask them what you can do to help. It could be as simple as running a vacuum or going to the store to pick up some milk. Good works don't have to be BIG. Let your compassion lead you and you will know what He wants you to do. ❤

    Each day is a day to serve the Lord and then go home by either death or the rapture! I was 45 years old when I became a born again Christian having been a false conversion believer since age 12. I had been suicidal for nine months after God had shown me that my husband of 22 years had been having an affair with a woman at the Baptist church who was my best friend in choir. When you get saved from suicidal thoughts, you realize that each day belongs to the Lord, and you don't really fear death. For seven years, I have been excited about the pre-Tribulation rapture and doing videos about it and evangelizing with urgency. Sometimes I even have tears as I look into their lost eyes and plead with them to not put off repentance and trusting in Jesus Christ. I often say, "Just be a stupid sheep and obey His voice." He told me not to divorce my husband, and my husband later divorced me and remarried, but I was made a eunuch for King Jesus and celibacy hasn't been a problem for almost 18 years. I am betrothed to Jesus Christ and looking forward to the rapture and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Maranatha.

My prodigal children, one of them still on a steep decline into darkness, my lost husband, parents, brothers, nephews, nieces, cousins, in-laws, in short, everyone in my family as far as I can discern, is still unresponsive to the Gospel of Christ and is causing me untold worry and heartbreak. But Joe's message this morning has encouraged and admonished me in equal measure, reminding me that Jesus our Lord is Faithful and remembers our prayers that are not prayed amiss, and that it reflects badly on Christ my Saviour, if I don't trust Him fully with my loved ones' souls, which is a sin. So I will purpose in my heart to pray in full expectation of the Lord already working to save them from eternal damnation. And I am learning the lesson too that He does ALL things well, whatever it looks like from my limited perspective. Praise be to His Name forever.

    Hey Joe, since you asked in your video, this is one of the times God was looking out for me.
    This happened to me about almost a year before I became a born again Christian. I just "accidently" given a Hebrew Bible with the New Testament in it and out of curiosity started reading it.
    I was 15 and just coming back from school. I came to cross the crosswalk to my street.
    I looked at all direstions and saw no cars at the distance so I started crossing.
    I was at the middle of the crossroad when a huge 4x4 white Jeep came out of nowhere and wasn't stopping to wait 'till I cross.
    I remember time gone like in slow motion as I frose in fear unable to move forward or backward, my legs refused to work.
    Then I felt 2 large hands grabbing me from my shoulders and dragging me backwards in a flash, a fraction of a second before the car ran over me. I was getting a glimpse of my terrified face at the driving seat window.
    After the car past I turned around to thank whoever saved me...but no one was there.
    If I was to die that day I would have gone to hell.
    But it wasn't the day for me to go over the river yet.
    I am from Israel and grew up in a secular Jewish household. Yet all my life I was different than anyone of my family. I read the Old Testament for myself since 7 and without my parents' knowledge my faith in God began to sprout.
    On August 27 11:30-11:59 PM 2018, after reading the gospels and other books for a year, were my last moments. I gave up my life to Jesus and repented from all my sins. I became a new creation on August 28, 2018, at 16 years old.
    No one was witnessing to me all that time but God's Word alone.
    The devil tried to prevent me in more than one way that year to give my life to Jesus, trying to kill me, to distract me with other things. No. God's plan prevailed. I am grateful for my salvation ever since. No, I do not fear death, but have the healthy type of fear.
    My God be with you and bless you Joe. May we see each other meeting the Lord in air soon. The Rapture is imminent.

Sometimes I get anxious bc I'm an over-thinker which is my curse bc my brain always thinks the worst. And then I have to remember who Jesus is & how much He loves us. And remember God's promises.

    My dear brother in Christ , you are so dear to my heart. God bless you. Thank you for having coffee with me. I’ve been praying for a friend in this journey into Christianity , I’ve been saved for less than a year and yet so much as shifted , for the better. In surprising ways, my Lord Jesus has answered my prayers in ways I never expected , through an old friend who’ve I’ve had the absolute honor to introduce to Jesus, and even through you, online. Thank you Joe! I can’t wait to meet in His kingdom one day. Cheers ☕️

      Yes, we are living in the last seconds, we might not know the exact day, but for sure we know the season of the second coming. Israel came to life again 75 years ago and counting down started. We are living hard times, but Jesus will not let his people go through Tribulation; Rev 3:10 “ Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth."

At the very last minute before the point of no return, I strongly felt that I had to turn and go back, and I did. 🙏🏼 Like the Zach Williams song with Dolly Parton..."even when I didn't know it, or couldn't see it...there was JESUS"

    I always reminded my mom that worry was a sin. But as a mom myself now I understand that sting of worry. I see my kids making choices that can end up with a big “storm”. But Jesus is good and He’s in the boat with us. He can calm the storm. So I remind myself that God is in control, He’s good, He loves me and my kids. He loves my husband. He loves my neighbors. He loves us all. So now I can look at the turmoil in our world as a test of my faith. Do I trust God with it? Yes. I do.

    My Story of A Terrible Gangrene infection First My Family and Friends Said to Me After A Number of weeks in Hospital When I Woke to Reality.
    1 - I Died twice on the Operating Table.
    2- They Said I Called A Friend that Morning saying I Need to Go to The Bank .
    3- They Said I Drove Myself to The Hospital that Morning.
    So I Truly Do Not Have Any Memory of This. My Brother and Best Friend Said To My The Doctor Was Not Hopeful I Would Make it Also when I asked How I Got To The Hospital They said You Drove. Laying There Thinking I Drove Myself???? The Thought of My Mother saying When We are Born God Gives Each New Baby an Angel And a song She Liked Jesus take the Wheel So Felt Like I Did Not Drive One of them DID .
    And Through All of it I Had a Peace Upon Me In The Hospital. I Know I Walk With The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Each and Every Day! Thank You Pastor Joe Kirby And Other Pastors I Got To Watch Then And I Still Fallow Today.
    May You and Your Family be Blessed By The Heavenly Father!

    I know many times The Lord has saved me from scary situations. I actually have complex ptsd but God is my strength and protector.
    One afternoon I was driving to my parents' house with my two young sons in the back, after a very scary home situation.
    There was oil on the road, it was raining, and we started to tailspin. I took my hands off the wheel and pulled my feet up off the pedals and yelled "Jesus, take the wheel!" with my eyes squeezed shut.
    The car stopped. I opened my eyes. We were 1 inch from a rock mountain wall, facing the oncoming traffic lane. There were no cars in any lanes, so I cried "Thank you, Lord!" and proceeded to drive away, car, kids, my life... safe. All praise to The Living God!
    Fun fact: that happened on May 29, 2005... Carrie Underwood's song by the same name was released on October 18 that same year!

    I don’t fear being dead. In fact, I have a great sense of joy at the thought of being with the Lord, free from the pain of this world. That said, any Christian who claims they don’t have a degree of uncertain anxiety on occasion about the possibility of a painful dying process needs to immediately repent of dishonesty. We are human. The thought of suffering a painful death is foreign … unknown …and therefore will give rise to a normal, human response, even for Christians. We trust the Lord will walk us through that and give sufficient peace.

      @Arsene20 So you have a healthy fear of dying... If you went right now and jumped, would it surprise God? Or would he have known from the beginning of time how you would die? Never get too cocky about that subject. You don't know what you'll do under the right stress and circumstances.

    At 12 i had an issue where my heart stopped beating for several minutes and i felt myself slipping away. all i felt was regret for the things i didn't do, regret for how i treated others, shame for my sins. Not a thought to what others did to me. Having been alive for 28 years since, the reverse is true. I struggle with what others have done to me. I would remember Christ in the garden. He sweat blood over His coming death. I don't fear death, indeed i long for it. Yet thinking of our Lord's struggle in the garden, I think i should fear death more. Our time is always at hand, redeem the time for the days are evil. Keep up the good work, praise Christ.
