If you had one year left to live....
 

What would you do or how would you change your life if you were told you have 1 year to live? If on December 29th of '09 you were to die. Between now and then what would you do?What would you change? What would you began? What would you finish? Would just try to be a better version of yourself?


I will answer in a little while I want to see others answer first.

Well, since the five foolish virgins were still virgins, and evidently they got slack and didn't make it to heaven, I would suspect it would be necessary to do everything in our power to keep our minds on God, study the word, believe what it says, fast more, pray more, be faithful to the house of God, heal all old wounds and relationships, Love our neighbor as ourselves, forgive and forget, and do all we can to bring the lost to God. And most of all, avoid looking for loopholes of things we don't have to do, but better yet ask what we must do to make it to heaven. And avoid inane babblings and jesting about going to heaven. Just my two cents worth for what it's worth.

good thoughts

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

Try and do whatever God ask me to do. :)

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

Have you voted in my poll?

Are you sure you're saved?

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

No I haven't voted in your poll.

I'm striving to make it, but I am not there yet. I haven't heard Him say welcome my good and faithful servent, enter in....... :santathumb

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

A vital bit of detail to this scenario..... Are you allowed to let others know about your impending doom? Or do we all go into "Sam Becket" mode and try to right all that is wrong?

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

You can vote anyway! It's regarding the present moment. If you died right now, not a year from now. ;)

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I am not at liberty to say what I'd be doing.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I would pray and make sure my heart was right with God,and make sure I was at peace with those around me if I had hurt anyone I would want to make it right.

Also I would to try reach to those who need God and point them to Christ.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I would try spend alot of quality time with my wife and daughters.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I have been confronted with my potential soon death for five years now. I am in ill health. In these five years, I have had 12 surgeries and need at least three more major ones. Three or four of these surgeries had me in ICU afterward; one of these surgeries had them working on me for five hours afterward trying to keep me alive.

For these five years, I have not been able to get my house in order because of physical limitations. I need to do that because my wife cannot drive and will be living on her $300 month Social Security Disability income once I sprout wings. (We are presently living on my disability income and pension. She will not have access to these once I am gone as she is only in her late forties - too young for eligibility.)

My goal for this next year is to get my house in order so my wife will not be struggling to deal with external things that will be next to impossible for her to deal with once I am gone.

My relationship with Jesus is strong. I minister almost daily, so am busy in the harvest fields as best I can. My relationship with my wife is very strong. I am more than ready to go - except for preparing our circumstances for my wife once I leave.

Now, I might live for another forty years. I might outlive my wife. My Jesus is the Great Physician and my faith is in Him. My trust is in Jesus in every aspect. I am not discouraged, nor seeking attention/sympathy. I am just trying to be a wise steward of what He has given me (my wife and our "house" that needs to be put in order). I am ready in all other aspects, and cannot think of a thing that I would change if I knew I was to sprout wings tomorrow, or in one year. I look forward to this life being over.

It is interesting how the very real knowledge of potential death can help someone put things into perspective and priorities. I've rather enjoyed that perspective and priority setting.

Mike, you will not be forgotten in my prayers. May God grant you strength and courage.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I've been in that situation. I've had six Doctors tell me I was going to die.

On June 21 2007, my Doctor told me I could not live more than four months.

What changes did I make upon hearing my Doctor pronounce me soon-to-be dead?

I began to think on Scripture and how Jesus bore away my sins and my sickness on the cross. I did this for every waking moment day and night for quite sometime. I put aside TV, Internet, most all nonessential activities in my life. My made my main focus the truth of God's Word about healing.

Three days later I was out of the hospital, and soon I was back at work.

It's been about a year and six months now and I'm still on top of the turf.

I give my Jesus all the glory.

Bro-Larry,

The Word of God is POWERFUL, and The Word of God is TRUE!!

So whose REPORT did you believe!! You believed the REPORT of

the Lord! Great recommendation to others who are in need of a healing

or saving touch. There is an answer to every situation in the Word of

ALMIGHTY GOD! Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find,

Knock and the Door shall be opened unto you.

I plan on living to 114, like my great-great-great grandfather... My kind don't die off, and with my liking of organic and herbalist stuff, I hope to be still walking, swimming, preaching, ect, at 114 (maybe swimming is a strech, :lol)!

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

Why do you want to know?

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

Why do you not want to tell us?


P.S. It is a topic of a thread....a conversation there is no motive for me knowing. Just thought it would be a fun topic. Mama Bear you might want to wake up on the right side of the cave tomorrow....

Good question. Maybe he knows something about 12/29/09 that we don't know. :jolly

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I see the future.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I knew it!!

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I think it would be easier to talk to my family about our relationship and they actually listen to me if they knew I were gonna die. Maybe then we'd be healed. Maybe then they would listen.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

I routinely receives faxes from myself... from the future.

Re: If you had one year left to live....
 

But if you can remember I have to be in the future to remind you to send those faxes or else you would forget.
