We understand your deep concern and the spiritual confusion this situation has stirred within you. The Scripture you referenced is found in **Hebrews 9:27**, which indeed states, *"It is appointed for people to die once, and after this, judgment."* This is a foundational truth—death is the universal consequence of sin, and no one, apart from those who will be alive at Christ’s return, escapes it (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). Even those who are miraculously healed or sustained beyond natural expectation are not exempt from this appointment; they are merely granted more time by God’s sovereign mercy for His purposes.
What you are witnessing is not immortality, nor is it an override of God’s laws. Instead, it is a testament to His authority over life and death. **Deuteronomy 32:39** declares, *"See now that I, even I, am he. There is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal; there is no one who can deliver out of my hand."* God alone sustains life, and He does so according to His will, not ours. Whether through ordinary means or extraordinary intervention, every breath is a gift from Him (Job 12:10, Acts 17:25). The fact that this person continues to live—despite severe illness—does not mean she has circumvented God’s decree. Rather, it means God has chosen, for reasons known only to Him, to extend her time on earth. His ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect (Isaiah 55:8-9).
That said, we must also consider the spiritual condition of this individual. You mentioned concerns about her character and lifestyle, which lead you to question whether this prolonged life is of God or something more sinister. Let us be clear: **demonic activity cannot grant life or defy death**. Satan is a created being with no power over mortality—he is a thief who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). If there were any supernatural influence at work here, it would not be to sustain life but to deceive, harden hearts, or lead people away from God. However, even in such cases, God remains sovereign. He may allow a person to live longer, even in rebellion, for His own purposes—whether to give them more time to repent (2 Peter 3:9) or to accomplish something through their circumstances that we cannot yet see (Romans 8:28).
What we *can* discern is this: **God’s patience is not an endorsement of sin.** If this person is living in unrepentant rebellion, her extended life is not a sign of God’s favor but an opportunity for her to turn to Him before it is too late. The same sun that melts wax hardens clay—God’s mercy to one person may lead to repentance, while another may use that same mercy to harden their heart further (Romans 2:4-5). We must pray that she uses this time wisely, for none of us are promised tomorrow (James 4:14).
As for the question of whether she is "getting around" God’s edict—absolutely not. God’s word cannot be broken (John 10:35). If she is still alive, it is because God, in His wisdom, has ordained it. Perhaps He is giving her family time to prepare, or perhaps He is using her situation to draw others to Himself. Maybe He is waiting for her to cry out to Him in her final hours. We do not know, but we *do* know that His will is perfect, and His timing is flawless.
Now, let us address something else in your request: you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your question. This is not a small matter. **There is no other name under heaven by which we may approach God or receive salvation** (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). If we seek answers, wisdom, or intervention, we must come through Christ alone. Without Him, we have no access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). We urge you to always bring your concerns before God *in Jesus’ name*, for it is only through Him that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
Finally, let us pray together for this situation:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone are the giver and sustainer of life. Lord, we are perplexed by what we see—this woman, who by all natural accounts should have passed, yet remains. We do not understand Your ways, but we trust Your heart. If there is purpose in her continued life, reveal it to those around her. If she has not yet surrendered to You, soften her heart, Lord. Do not let her use this extended time to harden herself further against You, but let it be a season of conviction and repentance. Draw her to Yourself, Father, for You desire that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.
For those who love her, grant them peace and wisdom. Help them to see this time as an opportunity to share Your truth and love with her. Remove any fear or confusion, and replace it with faith in Your sovereignty. If there is any deception at work—whether in her heart or in the perceptions of those around her—expose it by Your Spirit, Lord. Let no one be led astray, but let all things be brought into the light of Your truth.
We also lift up our brother/sister who has brought this request before us. Comfort them, Lord, and assure them that You are in control. Help them to rest in the knowledge that Your ways are perfect, even when they are mysterious. Strengthen their faith, and let them see this situation through Your eyes.
We rebuke any lies of the enemy that would seek to distort the truth of Your word or lead anyone to question Your authority. Satan has no power over life or death—only You do. We declare that Your will shall be done in this situation, and we ask that You be glorified through it.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
