Blessed Are They That Mourn For They Shall Be Comforted In YAHWEH
Is there not an appointed time to man upon the earth? Are not his days also like the days of an hireling? (Iyob (Job) 7:1)
It was November 10, 1999 at 10 a.m. when my husband of 27 years took his last breath in our home at Victory Community.
We had raised seven children, (all of whom live on the community), together in the fear and admonition of YAHWEH. Now after 27 years it was time to say good-bye until that great resurrection morning.
I believe, as my husband did, that YAHWEH had put us at Victory Community for a purpose. My belief in YAHWEH and HIS Son YAHSHUA is strengthened by the Word, praise and prayer everyday. I can truly say in my own heart that there is no place on earth I’d rather be. Not in a palace as a queen or in sin abiding.
I am very confident and content in MESSIYAH. Waiting for death or MESSIYAH, which ever comes first. HalleluYah.
I find that peace must first abide in your own heart to live peaceable with anyone. I don’t believe my husband suffered in death. He was up one day, down the next, and by morning he was gone. He passed away with our children around. What a blessed time to remember. The peace was overwhelming. The saints of Victory came to bid their farewells. Most he responded to by a wave of his hand or a HalleluYAH. He used to love to sing a song that had this verse…“When I can’t say a word, I’ll just wave my hand.”
Our Pastor, Pastor Roberts, came to sit at his bedside. What impressed me most about his death or crossing over was the wonderful peace. It did, as the word says pass all understanding TesloniqYah- Alef (I Thessalonians) 4:13,14). We did not grieve as the world grieves PhylypsiYah- (Philippians) 4:7. That night, our children and myself sat up all night praying and singing his favorite songs and praising YAHWEH.
When my husband, Evangelist James C. Horne, took his last breath; I felt as if a chariot had come and picked his soul and spirit right up out of that body of clay and took it to YAHWEH.
Who could mourn for feeling like that? Who could be so selfish?
What a blessing that he did not die in a hospital with tubes in him and machines pumping their death songs. But he died at home with people who believed as he did.
A time of rejoicing? How could that be? Tehillim (Psalms) 116:15. He did not want one of his natural kinsmen there. Not his mother, sister or brothers, not one aunt or cousin. He used to say, “They don’t want to listen to me when I warn them of YAHWEH’s judgment. Why should they be there when I die?” I think that made a lot of sense. He had all he needed…Faith to Die. Whenever I get distressed or troubled I think upon that Great Peace and the strength that overtook my heart that day.
