“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Church: He that overcometh shall not be [hurt] of the second [death].” Commentary: Notice this warning is to the church! To overcome is to have victory! Victory over what? Sin! There is a sin unto death! Everyone dies once but sadly some die twice! You do not want to be in that crowd! So what is the second death? It is a life eternally separated from God! In this state you are conscious of your existence! The Apostle John speaks of the second death in three other places in the Book of Revelation! They are Revelation 20:6, 20:14 & 21:8. Please read and study these scriptures on the second death! Those in Christ will never experience the second death because Jesus paid the price for your second death on the Cross! It is only those who reject Christ that will experience the second death! A place where the worm dieth not and the fire is never quenched! For those in Christ he has prepared a place for us in heaven! If you were to fill out a change of address card before you die what address would you enter? Heaven or Hell? Again there are forgiven sinners in heaven and unforgiven sinners in hell! The difference is what they did with Christ! To accept his grace or reject him! We stand or fall with what we do with the Savior! He is either our Savior or judge! He took your judgment on the Cross do not try to do his job! You will forfeit heaven for hell! James and Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYou.com

He That Overcometh! Revelation 2:11
Comment: Jesus repeated this over and over again to the church! He that overcometh I will give the crown of life! He that overcometh will escape the second death! What does the word really mean? Let us go to the Greek root word. The word is “Nikao”. The word means to subdue and conquer! To have success in victory! The Greek root word also has a root word! It is the word “Niki”. You got it! It is the athletic foot wear company named Nike! It means conquest! If you are in the body of Christ and believe you will never have a fight with the devil in this life you are in denial! You are in “La La” Land! This life in your generation just as in all preceding generations is a battle between good and evil! You can try to ignore it but it will not go away! You can wish it away? You can try to isolate it away? You can try to spend it away? However you have to join a team and play! Your team can win but you must fight the good fight of faith and face your enemy! Jesus has given you the tools to overcome! To win the victory! His Word! His Spirit! His power! His love! We conquer in Christ’s name! Satan was conquered on the Cross! However in his stupidity he thinks he can still win! He will try to take as many down as he can in defeat! This week a young man went on a mission trip to a remote island where a remote tribe lived! He was martyred! Others will follow to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth! This missionary gave his all to take the Gospel into all the world! If I live my life sheltered, protected, financially secure, and die of old age in this condition I have wasted my life for nothing! The church of Jesus Christ is a conquering army! It is an offensive army! We have real sacrifices and we take some casualties in this war against evil! But we win and will eat of the Tree of Life forever! Remember you are using the blood of a martyr to conquer! The blood of God shed on a Cross for you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
