Addition: My brother is in stage 4 metasticized (turbo) cranial cancer at the moment but thankfully is not in pain.
We pray he will not pass as my mother did.
May The Great GOD Almighty be merciful!
Amen.

I believe Jesus Christ's perfect submission to the Father is what saves/justifies us, not how much we submit, or else how much 'submission must one do in order to be saved/justified? Once we have placed faith in Jesus, discipleship is to follow. (picking up one's cross/denying self etc.) but first things first (trust in Christ's perfect obedience)...Submission is for the mature Christian as is dying.
Romans 5:18-19 ESV
Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. [19] For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

Will definitely be praying for your brother! Is he undergoing any type of treatment?

That reminds me of a David Jeremiah saying, "I don't mind dying, just don't want to be there when it happens".
Yes, taking infusions that have for the moment taken away the pain.
We pray until he is taken home he stays pain-free.
My last communication with his wife asking their plans for Thanksgiving just passed his 76 birthday in part read:
“… We are just staying in and counting our blessings that <he> was diagnosed, being treated, and still here to share in the holiday. I have a turkey breast ordered and we will have typical Thanksgiving sides to go with it. All set and get the turkey on Wednesday… “
I look forward to gazing into I AM’s face when I arrive at our Eternal Home worshipping with all the Saints and the Heavenly Host.
I play this CD
that gives me peace at night as I can thankfully drift off to sleep. We lost Kenny to the side of the veil March of 2020 to cancer. I picture him singing Hallelujah with The Host.
For The Love of GOD
Hello Mabel Lean;I look forward to gazing into I AM’s face when I arrive at our Eternal Home worshipping with all the Saints and the Heavenly Host. I play this CD
Some of the funerals I've officiated in 2025, the family asked me not to share the Gospel, let alone mention the name of God or His Only Beloved Son Jesus.
For every family such as these God always gives me a Word and I'm able to slip in a Passage to give those in attendance food for thought.
Still, it's sad that families' whose loved ones pass never had a relationship with our Lord and Savior.
Regarding our beloved late Kenny Rogers, I remember as an 11 year old the very first song I ever heard when he performed with his group, the First Edition in 1968.
God bless you, sister, and Merry Christmas.
Bob
GOD bless you Brother Bob!
I urge all my contacts to “talk Jesus” - IESOUS CHRISTOS I AM in all the conversations with followers of I AM and those who still do not know Him personally.
My dear Pastor friend Jon told me that Funerals and Memorial Services are for the living attending and it was the task of the officiating person and those in attendance to bring those assembled to see Jesus’s face.
He officiated his wife’s service. She had a very long illness and he nursed her for five years. Her heart had been torn and only was able to be mended partially.
I started this thread as an enabling topic that few have ever ventured to comment “outloud” because the time is DEFINITELY NOW to share as no time in history have so many billions face the earthly deaths of loved ones and also themselves.
May we share now the PEACE and HOPE of joining Our LORD and the Saints and Heavenly Host singing Hallelujah! In all ETERNITY.
Amen and Amen.
Serving I AM with you,
~ Mabe

Love this thought AMEN:
"... focus on spiritual growth, reconciliation with loved ones, and sharing their faith, knowing that their suffering can serve a greater purpose in God’s redemptive plan..."
Read this one from a devotional I receive daily.
Who in The Bible faced very "bad" news in their lives facing mortality however their sacrificial love acts indeed were part of GOD's Plan for "GOOD?"
“All Things Work Together for Good” (Really?)
[https://lifehopeandtruth.com/life/christian-living/all-things-work-together-for-good/]One can only speculate how one fits into overall Cosmic Plan of Our Creator, GOD I AM.
Not a denominationalist personally but indeed am in agreement with most of the doctrinal stands.
If we follow I AM we indeed are in The Bride Church of GOD I AM as Children of The Light.

Good afternoon Mabe...
I am at work so my thoughts might get interrupted by a customer.
I have been thinking of you... where you are in your journey... and how you understand that you are as you say.... end stage illness.
I miss him so very much... but what comforts me is knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt... where he is.
He is without pain. He is filled with JOY and PEACE... and I imagine he is with other loved ones who have passed away
prior to him. It doesn't get better than that.... HE will not be remembering ANY of the trials... tribulations or PAIN he had
when he was on earth. HE IS FREE!!!!!
The timing of you arriving to us Mabel Lean strikes me as comforting... because our thoughts are already meditating on
this precious topic of the after-life.
I have no fear of dying... and I am well acquainted with sorrow and suffering. I am now entering a new phase of physical pain,
as I am in the beginning stages of neuropathy in my legs. I am blessed that for now... I am able to function normally and with
great PRAISE and THANKSGIVING. I am BLESSED beyond measure... because I am surrounded by people who love me.
I truly see death for a BELIEVER as the GREAT REWARD.... and that for those of us that get left behind... it becomes...
I'll SEE you SOON my lovely friend.

The forums lost a very dear, and precious member a few weeks ago. He was a beloved pastor... who died suddenly.

Lovely 
! Thank you In Awe of Him.
I have been going downhill so-to-speak since 2011, when my first in a series of four cardiologist told my husband I had the arteries of an 80 year old.
The series of stents began now up to 11.
It took me to finally find the best cardiologist in my area in May of 2024, it was hard to locate a cardiologist brave enough to stent the 90 % bypass of my left coronary artery.
The previous cardiologists lacked the skill as I was being gaslighted.
I had a 5 way bypass in 2018, from the best cardio-thoracic surgeon in the nick-of-time.
In December of 2023, I was diagnosed with stage 1 intrusive left breast cancer of milk duct and lobe.
In January of 2024, I had two lumpectomies that obtained clean margins.
Unfortunately I was gaslighted into taking female hormone blockers by the first oncologist that left me to this day with foot neuropathy. My second oncologist who did not force unnecessary toxic substances tests me every six months running blood panels that so far show normal ranges of key indicators.
I will have completed the two year cycle of MRI, mammogram, and sonograms next month.
However in the last month or so my blood pressure despite a regime of GOLO, time restricted eating, supplementation, diverticulosis treatment, and two cardio drugs and one for angina is no longer keeping my blood pressure out of the crisis range.
Today is my 72nd birthday. It has been a blessed life regardless of the conditions.
I pray GOD takes me in my sleep so that I will not be in the excruciating pain of my mother’s cancer long battle or follow the path of my father’s death of congestive heart failure massive heart attack. Both died in their early 70s.
Had not been for the love and support of my dear husband of 42 years, four key medical professionals, my intimates of family and friends, I surely would not be testifying of the life sustaining journey to recount this day.
I use the time afforded to do research to help others who indeed have been misdirected and marginalized. My tertiary degree, reading experience aids me as GOD guides to the best in current resources available electronically. I have “met” truly remarkable people who follow I AM and help others pro bono.
May my remaining days that I AM affords me to keep my heart beating be a testimony of His love for this child so undeserved yet gifted with the perseverance only He supplies.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
Amen,

}}}===>>> What Biblical Saint does he remind you?
Know this!
It is only, “I will see you in a blink of an eye.”
}}}===>>> Here is a new topic to consider what Biblical Saint do you look forward to meeting?
Mine are:
St. Polycarp
and
St. Barnabas aka Joseph the Kind.
He most resembled Jesus.
Wow! Our Pastor Dan’s Sermon of November 30 was about “putting on Jesus.”
Imagine a follower so humble in his greatness as your Pastor!
Amazing!
