and answer His PROMISES for healing as we believe He should, now,
we need to read Hebrews 11, especially verses 8-13. God made
binding promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Sarah. THESE ALL
DIED, IN FAITH, NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES! Has God gone
back on His word? NO!!! He has not told us HOW or WHEN He will
act to heal as He promises. As Abraham will yet receive the
promise of actual POSSESSION of the promised land and ETERNAL LIFE
in it--AT THE RESURRECTION--so will my son Richard David Armstrong.
God's promises are SURE! Never lose FAITH! I know that even now,
three days after he was buried, God CAN, if it is His will, raise
him from the grave back to completely healed mortal life to again
resume his important PART in God's great work. But we must
remember this is GOD'S work, and He will do as He knows is best.
Dick Armstrong GAVE his life that, through awakened
realization and renewed dedication of OUR lives to God's Cause,
THOUSANDS and MILLIONS of OTHERS might hear God's WAY to receive
HIS GIFT and LIVE FOREVER!
May I borrow a fitting application from Abraham Lincoln? It
is now for US, the living, rather to be DEDICATED here to the
unfinished WORK OF GOD which he who now lies buried helped thus far
to advance. It is rather for us to be now dedicated to the great
task remaining before us--that from this honored dead WE take
increased devotion to that cause for which HE gave the last full
measure of devotion--that we here and now surrender and give OUR
LIVES to God a living sacrifice--that Richard David Armstrong shall
NOT have died in vain; but that this nation and the WHOLE WORLD
shall hear the GOOD NEWS of that GOVERNMENT OF GOD, and BY God, FOR
the people, that shall usher in lasting WORLD PEACE, SALVATION, in
the joyous WORLD TOMORROW!!
With great love and in FAITH, in Jesus' name,
Herbert W. Armstrong
