It’s now almost eight o’clock in the evening.  Soon I plan to get in line for a shower and then return to my cell for the night.

 

     A few hours ago, however, as I was walking in my pain (I have now begun to suffer from “Osteoarthritis”), the Holy Spirit seemed to quicken a word in my heart that one day I am going to be done with this decaying body; I will be done with the devil, too.

 

     The fact is, my body is wearing down.  Like an old car, one part at  a time stops working properly.  But very soon I will have  a whole new body.  It will not be subject to aches, pains, and sorrows.  It will only know endless joy.  Furthermore, there will be no more Satan!

 

     One day, by the mercy of Jesus, I will be going into a realm where no disease and no demon will be able to touch me.  I will be living with Jesus, forever. 

 

     Knowing all this keeps me going forward in faith and hope, never quitting.
