if god says tomorrow is not promised then we should live like that it doesn't mean he won't protect us it doesn't mean that he won't keep us but he also means that we will not be here forever there is another place we are going to and this is just a journey the most important things in my life is definitely god first when you understand that jesus is your past your present and your future then it becomes the most important thing because the families we have is because he gave them to us you know the lives we have is because god gave it to us so god has to be the most important thing and obviously then it's family you have to understand that to be alive is to be in pain what proves that your life is that you're going through pain pain proves that you are living and i realize this that grief is the price you pay for love if you have ever loved anyone in life grief is the price i've gone through pain but nothing bigger than my brother christian we did everything together we traveled together we we performed together you know to his last hours i was there you know never it was never something i imagined even though god alerted me of what was coming and when it was coming sometimes this prophetic thing is is interesting but you know it still doesn't knowing where christian is right now doesn't change that grief is there so when it comes up when you lose somebody cry it's okay god is not angry with you cry it's necessary it proves that you love them you know and and in your tears appreciate the times that god gave you with that person because we are all bored don't use grief to dig yourself into a hole like oh i can't live and all that that is how you will feel for sure but weep and remember the memories remember the good times remember the amazing times that you had with the person and i promise you it will turn into joy time heals everything but it can only heal everything if it is done the right way time can be your demise or it can be your medicine well the best tip to prepare for the next life is obviously having a great relationship with god i mean nobody is welcome to my house if i don't have a relationship with you so what makes us think that we'll go to heaven just because we're good people that's why we need a personal relationship with jesus christ that is the ultimate preparation and when we receive jesus then we begin to live the life of jesus on earth dependence on god is truly the key truly truly the absolute key to all this enjoy every moment you know we will never have this hour this minute this second ever again even in eternity this hour this minute the second will not exist it will be the past and every moment of it make the most of it i am one person that's consumed with the work that god has given me to do and and i believe that's how we should live make the most of every moment when we leave this world if the rapture hasn't happened what will you be remembered for these memories go into eternity people in heaven will have stories about you wow we watched when you did this how was that moment like i definitely have questions for the prophets and their postals because that's just the way life is make the most of it love it enjoy it do things that you never thought you could do the worst that could happen is you make memories that are amazing that you challenged yourself and you went after something the best way we deal with moments where we have loved ones that are sick loved ones that have cancer or whatever it may be like in my brother's case christian had a brain tumor that was successfully removed but the damage was really really bad to his brain and over time it got worse you know it's difficult to care for somebody that is in need but that is our jesus moment never look at the moment where your loved one your friend is in need sometimes to the point that their mind is not all put together you know they're taking a lot of medication maybe they have brain trauma where they can't think right they can't process things right that is our jesus moment to understand that they can't process things well because of what they're going through i'm still gonna love them but people always ask this question if if god is good why do bad things happen to good people or if there is a god why will he allow my mother my father to die my children or my loved one my spouse i want to tell you something that is very interesting and i got this advice from from a very very um important man of god that i love so much i knew what he was saying but the way he said it to me changed and the way i processed everything i was talking to bishop noel jones and he said something very interesting he said to me every human being has been given a card of uncertainty and this is why god says tomorrow is not promised that uncertainty of life makes us draw closer to god makes us live for god because we don't know the hour we don't know the moment it could happen at any time that card of uncertainty is the assurance that we will stay with god it should excite us even though it's a difficult time but it reminds us again that we are only guests in this world and we are going somewhere so they are not really you have to remember there are no real losses we are not meant to be here forever you know we are going somewhere so god who made the rules he knows why he is doing things at a certain time we will never understand it all here but one day when we are in his presence we will get it who will understand it you
