Two people in this new movie cast 'F9' (lowest rating of Fast & Furious), are no more - rumors or sad disappointing truth?
Rumor has it, multiple 'FRIENDS' series cast, are also no more; their choice, not God's plan!
Although unofficial confirmation of deaths as of yet, can you guess who the 'NO MORE' are? What does success mean to you? What would you be willing to give up to have success?
If possible, we could ask the talented, Lady Gaga, or Justin Bieber, but unconfirmed rumor says they too are no more; and contrary to popular dead-wrong belief, there is no talking or communicating with the dead, as fiction has twisted the mind - not judging just saying - for there is indeed 'A Much Better Way,' to live life!
In support of there being no communication with the dead - in the book of Luke, Chapter Sixteen, verses twenty-four to twenty-six (Luke 16:24-26), we find what is known as 'The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus' - in which Jesus shares the parable of what happens when both suddenly die, very much aware of their circumstances and surroundings.
24“The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’ 25“But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. 26And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’
Paul Walker from 'Fast & Furious'
A very real question considered might be, "But how can we know this to be truth within human reason?" The answer is quite simple. If the Holy Bible could be found with error within its text, anywhere, all 31,173 verses worth from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, all 66 books (not 73), then the position held could be seen as jeopardized - but considering the Holy Bible is found to be inerrant and infallible, for which no other religious text can make claim, the truth we need and must respect that will set us free, is known indeed.
The late, Paul Walker from 'Fast & Furious,' series, had so much potential. He was the best at what he did. However, was his life cut short with a greater purpose - taken from us as a result of God's favor; as in, God's plan, not his choice, because Paul knew and trusted God in his own heart, his way?
Let us consider the play on words noted just below the graphic and immediately above 'their choice, not God's plan + God's plan, not his choice - allow me to explain!
Many Hollywood celebrities, although some not as bold as others in broadcasting their faith, out of genuine fear of being blacklisted, who's to know if perhaps, Paul Walker in his own private moments of contemplation, had placed his faith in Jesus Christ to help him become the person and leader he wanted to become; success with straight up integrity included?
His Path and Plan Not Ours
And who's to know, but the living God Himself that Paul's last 'fast & furious' vehicle, if you will, on the California Freeway, was not leading him into a situation that would have jeopardized his sincere request for success and integrity, by placing him in harms way, at risk of losing the integrity requested; he already had success, right?
I suggest this, because this is how the living God works! He knows best, not us! In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge - We surrender our ways for His ways, His understanding, not our understanding, His path and plan, not ours. Therefore, we become the best friend, spouse, parent, neighbor, co-actor, co-worker etc., because of His infallibility that lives within and directs us from the moment we place our faith and trust in Him - thus - God's plan, not his (Paul's) choice.
And then we have the following - 'their choice, not God's plan' - who's legacy becomes that of disgrace and not of admiration (Paul's integrity protected), the preferable choice!
Rumor has it, multiple 'FRIENDS' series cast are also no more; their choice, not God's plan!
Everyone should and must have the freedom to believe or not to believe in the living God, which is part of the overall DIVINE PLAN FOR MANKIND. Otherwise, forcing a belief is clearly evident of a man's religion and/or agenda - thus our current underlying PlanDemic disguised as a pandemic - the stealing of free-speech - or approving and endorsing the likes of fraudulent elections. And if the latter alone was not the case, then why is there such a battle to STOP the election investigations if there is nothing to hide? HELLO!
With that said, the living God, Jesus Christ, gives people free will to believe in Him or not to believe, with a promise for good and a future hope with a rich and satisfying life. And yes, He also clarifies, WITHOUT THREAT that those who are not with Him are obviously against Him.
Considering He is God, the Creator, and we are the created, the clay, not the Potter, who are we to challenge - especially when He, the living God, has our best interests at heart?
Sadly, the pride of man, Christians and its leaders included, have taken a most ingenious simple concept, FAITH & FAITH ALONE, and overcomplicated it as though relative to the Laws of Thermodynamics, Mathematics, or of Relativity. Crazy, unnecessary don't you think?
dare YOU ponder this game of life, in brief
We are given free choice to believe or not to believe in the inerrant and infallible, JESUS CHRIST LIVING GOD, who has our best interests at heart. Choosing Him, we surrender self, allowing Him to lead - His understanding not our own, His path not our own, with His wisdom and knowledge within us, pointing the way to all things needed - therefore balance and organization of life, direction, and purpose is in sync - God's plan, not our choice.
On the other hand - choosing to lead our own lives, may be related to yours truly that took a third marriage to get it right - multiple business failures - bouncing job to job with constant restlessness - and a life that didn't make sense, void of meaning and purpose - including temptation and death knocking on the door - thus the balance and organization of life, direction, and purpose, remained out of sync - Their (our) choice, not God's plan.
In closing, neither path will be perfect, nor close to it. Choosing the divine path, clearly the wisest from experience and thousands upon thousands of testimonies, does not mean exemption from life challenges. The real distinction is best shown in the small graphics immediately above - and then considering that the divine choice not only gives us direct mentorship from the author of life - in addition - when the lights go out in this life, we can know that the best life yet is only just beginning and for all eternity.
PS:
Invest in yourself! Invest in truth!
Consider the purchase of one or all four Holy Spirit led authored books HERE or HERE addressing 'How & why we must connect with Jesus' * 'Man gives us religion - God gives us truth' * 'Lesson to live by' (powerful on grace & gratitude) * and 'Super hero's for Jesus' as a grass roots learning tool - awesome for children as well as new Christians.
I thank you ... and I thank you, Jesus, amen and amen!
