The Secret of Life and Death from one Bible passage
Read the following out loud:
“By faith, Enoch did NOT die, but transcended death to be with I AM, and you too can do the same!”
Now, look up the passage in Hebrews 11: 5 & 6 in whatever version helps you to believe it and test it to see how deeply you’re willing to believe it (I took this from the New King James Version.) I’m not claiming it’s easy. I hope this helps you on your journey.
“By faith, Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.”
I’m going on 95 so I’m certainly willing to believe it (Daddy help my unbelief). I’m also willing to give up certain areas of discomfort that seem to go along with being in my nineties.
Yours,
Brad Cullen

Jesus said: “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
The essence of “The Lord’s Prayer,” therefore, isn’t what we chant or sing by rote, but rather “YOU BEING LESS THAN PERFECT KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD THINGS RATHER THAN EVIL TO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE OF HIS OWN SPIRIT WILL YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE TO THOSE WHO DO NOT STOP ASKING/DEMANDING, NIGHT AND DAY TO RECEIVE MORE OF HIS SPIRIT“
In just a little over three months, I’ll be 90 (“The good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise none.”)
I certainly have no arrogance about being an old fart, but I have some fairly strong opinions that have led me to avoid healthcare experts and their prescriptions.
Because my zero-pay Medicare Supplement Healthcare plan requires that I have a “Primary Care Physician” I told the company agent to pick one. He did; that was over 12 years ago, I have yet to see him …or maybe it’s her I don’t remember.
The last time I received and used a prescription drug was from one of those walk-in emergency health clinics. That visit, including the prescription, cost me $15 …as provided by the referenced insurance plan; that was in 2011.
Now, admittedly, I don’t get around like I could when I was 80 and could still run (actually, better said “lumber” for 5 miles and more), currently and hopefully temporarily I’m using a walker due to a recent setback until I build my strength back up.
Why am I writing this? Because I’m getting tired of people, with second-hand medical expertise, gleaned from a failed and failing system, who are thirty years younger than I telling me I need to be seen by a doctor …when the one inside me does a great job of monitoring my health and telling me what and what not to do.
I wrote a Brad Cullen article four years ago that I wish everyone would read before giving me their opinions. I believe it may be one of the reasons I’m reaching the grand old age of 90 AND BEYOND. Here’s the link:
