Death is no longer the final stop. The dead will arise with his/ her celestial body by doing these following steps (when he/ she was still alive, of course):
1. Be like Christ, not Adam.
In Christ there is Life.
Not just 'a life' but 'the life', because the word 'life' has many synonyms in Bible, and in this sermon the preacher explained 2 of them. The previous one is Bios and the latter is Zoe. I couldn't see the difference of the two had I just read Bible in Bahasa Indonesia or in plain English, because each of them only uses one word for Bios and Zoe. With e-Sword I become fully understood because I also installed English Bible 'KJV+' that includes Greek and Hebrew dictionary.
Bios is our (literally) the present state of existence; by implication the means of livelihood: - good, life, living.
While Zoe is life as the opposite of death, Zoe is the divine life of Christ, the life that conquered death.
In order to get Zoe, one must start to exercise Christ's way.
2. Be decided, walk in the Spirit!
I learnt that God created us with 'free will' because human is not a robot. In one way it seems to benefit us, but in other way it complicates our lives. The snake-Eve-Adam conspiracy caused all human sinful, that made us inherit illwill. We are vulnerable to sin, but we have our weapon, Jesus!
So walk in the Spirit, and you'll gain the victory.
3. Oopss.....!! I kinda missed this part, just got this in my note:
When a believer died, he will have supernatural body.
4. Be a spiritual man not a natural man.
In this so alluring world, do be steadfast so that we will get the secret.

Counterattack Recipe
Nahum 2:1
An attacker advances against you, Nineveh .
Guard the fortress,
watch the road,
brace yourselves,
marshal all your strength!
Who's the attacker?
Ephesian 6:12
We are not fighting against people of flesh and blood. But we are fighting against rulers and powers whom we cannot see. We are fighting against those who control the darkness of this world,and against bad spirits who have power in the air.
The Counterattack Recipe:
Guard the fortress
The fortress is your own body and mind entirely. Some ways to guard yourself is by:
- quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry , be wise with your tongue
- keep safe the entrance of your fortress, i.e. your eyes. Eye is a vulnerable access, be cautious of what you see because bad things that you see can make bad influence to yourself, use your eyes responsibly for they might make yourself get tempted by what the perceive
- perform good deeds so that His name is glorified and so people can see that we are letters from Christ
Watch the road
Learn the situation and create strategy based on that situation, be clever and kind at the same time
Brace yourselves
Make yourself steady and keep optimistic, remember our God is God who always be with us - ImmanuelMarshal all your strength
Be united with all Christian regardless denominations, be one body be Oecumenical.
When we walk in His way, we are already the winners.
