IF

  Ten minutes can seem like a long time when you are waiting in line, but how long would these same ten minutes seem, if they were being counted down to your appointed death? The answer of course is that it is relative to your situation. If you are waiting in a doctor's office, ten minutes can seem like an eternity, but if the gallows outside the jail have been built for you, those ten minutes for you, could not be slow enough!
  Certainly if you could control time, then the ten spent at the doctor's office would go whisker quick, while the time spent waiting to die, would take an eternity! But if the soul is indeed eternal, and it is, then because you are eternal, you already possess the power to control time. The problem isn't that you can't, the problem is that you won't! All that is lacking is your belief. You either believe by faith that life is eternal, or you don't? Do you see that this example is no different then the one with the gallows? In essence, what you have faith in, is who you are.
  If you believe that life is limited only to this time, then for you, that is all that will be. But if you believe that life is eternal, then it is only natural, that you will be drawn to the source of that life. To have faith is to know beyond all doubt, no human emotion is stronger then faith!
  What is the power of faith? It is by faith that you see God! Do you believe this? What is the power of faith, and where does it come from? The power of faith is in the knowing, a knowing that is beyond all doubt! But here's the part that should really keep you up at night? What if by faith, you believe that God is exactly who he says that he is, and by some quirk of fate, after you die, you are nothing more then plant food, will you have lost anything in this life?
