If I'm not worried about dying (losing my life) then I can be focused on living. The genuine Christian that the Bible describes has already died, and he has no life of his own to lose. This is the most powerful position that a man can be in as he walks out life on this earth.
When this man/woman was born again, he died (the born again man has done all the dying he is ever going to do) and now Christ (the anointed One along with His anointing) is alive in him. The Christian's focus is on life and not death.
You have to learn how to live and not die. You are already well schooled in dying and you must now learn how to live (Rom 12:2). If you are worried about losing your life, then you are still alive and Jesus is not living His life in you. For you to be dead and Jesus alive, you must be crucified with Christ.
If you'll consider yourself dead, then fear of death will have no place in you, for you will have no fear of losing something that is already gone. Now you can focus on living. When the issues of life come against you like sickness and disease, you won't be focused on on saving your life by giving way to fear, but you will now focus on living your life by faith and being able to boldly stand and fight the good fight of faith and not fear dying, but live.
There is a big difference from leaving your body (physical death of the body) when you and God are done with it then from being evicted from it by the devil before you are through with it. The sad truth is, most Christians get evicted because they never learned how to live their life in Christ. The reason they don't know is because no one taught them. How shall they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Rom 10:14). The Church is for the most part bankrupt in this area of Truth. That's why you have so many Christians fearing for their lives, just like unbelievers. This is sad, and not very pleasing to God.
God has a voice (His Word) and cancer has a voice (doctor's report). Which voice you heed determines whose alive in you. If God's Word is directing your path, then Jesus is alive in you, but if cancer's words are directing your steps, then you are operating from fear of losing something and cancer will reign and rule your life. Cancer says, "I'm going to kill you" and God says, "with long life I will satisfy you and show you my salvation (deliverance, healing)" (Ps 91:16). Which one will you believe? You'll believe the one who is speaking to the one who is alive in you. And what you believe determines which word spoken to you will come to pass.
Hey Christian, it's time for you to die, so that you can really live free from fear of losing something and full of faith for gaining everything. Fear or Faith. The choice is yours (not God's), but to walk in faith, you will have to die. You up for that? The truth is, if your truly born again you have already died. All you have to do is quit crawling down off that cross and living that old dead life of yours. Be crucified with Christ and really live!
Be Blessed!!!
