Urgent choices — eternal rewards and consequences — not being preached about nearly enough

Why aren’t pastors preaching passionately about eternal rewards and punishments?  Why are people so unconcerned about their eternity?  Why has Satan been so successful in his recruitment program? Have you ever asked yourself, where are you going when you die? Have you diligently studied scripture to show yourself approved? It’s God’s mercy time still. Repent now before it’s too late. Run towards Jesus, the lover of your soul. Don’t be a scoffer, an arrogant fool. One who says in his/her heart, “There is no God…no judgement or rewards for choices made in the body.” Christ alone, our cornerstone, should be everyone’s motto.

— Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars–their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

— Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

— 2 Thessalonians 1:9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power

— Matthew 13:50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

— Mark 9:43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.

— Jude 1:7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

— Matthew 13:42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

— Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

— Revelation 19:20 The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

— Proverbs 15:11 Death and Destruction lie open before the LORD, how much more the hearts of men!

— 2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;

— Revelation 20:13-14 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.

— Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

— Ezekiel 18:20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.

— Luke 16:24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’

Idols are Nothing & Powerless…to worship them would be disgusting

From the mouth of God: “You idols are nothing, and you are powerless. To worship you would be disgusting. Worshipers of idols comfort each other saying, ‘Don’t worry!’ (Makers of idols) encourage one another and say ‘We’ve done a great job!’ Then they (human hands) nail the idol down, so it won’t fall over.” (Isaiah 41: 24 & 6-7)

Then the  Lord who exists outside of time and space as a trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit offers a challenge (using the eternal “we”) —

“…Come argue your case with me. Present your evidence. Come near me, you idols. Tell us about the past and we will think about it. Tell us about the future so we will know what is going to happen. Prove that you are gods by making your predictions come true. Do something good or evil, so we can be amazed and terrified. None of these idols are able to give advice or answer questions.” (Isaiah 41: 21-23, 28)

Only God knows the future with certainty and can predict what will happen in human history. He has given us the future within his written word, commonly called the Holy Bible, so you don’t even have to leave your intelligence “at the door” as nonbelievers accuse. Jesus is the spirit of revelation. He has been chosen, as God’s only son, to reveal truth to the human race. Earnestly seek Him, and He will be found. Limit seeking after worldly distractions. His love is devoted. He desires a covenant relationship with humanity…one where we freely choose to love and honor him. Faith as an offering to Him who created and owns the universe. A free-will offering of your heart, soul, mind and strength. A recent U.S. presidential candidate used the slogan “I’m with her.” I prefer not to put my precious gift of faith and hope in any person who themselves has been given their life and breath only through the gracious gift of Father God. I myself prefer an eternal perspective and choice where I firmly state before the Throne of God at life’s end, while pointing over at the Lamb of God, Jesus my mediator, and proclaiming in a loud, clear voice, “I’m with Him.”

Listen to the anointed worship song “Ever Be” by Bethel Music – We Will Not Be Shaken (Live). There is also a video available. With Shasta Lake in the background, this group praises the only, living, eternal God of the universe by saying, “Your praise will ever be on my lips.” This is how I want God to think of me. Praising him with angels and saints who sing “worthy are you, Lord!” Do not waste another second on idolatry, disbelief and arrogant rebellion. Return to your creator. He who loves you and wishes you to join Him in heaven for eternity.

There is true joy available through deep faith in God’s prophetic utterances. They world offers poor substitutes of fleeting “happy” moments. The world rushes about looking for that next mountaintop “high” experience, but it remains tantalizingly out of reach because God is not part of daily life.

Remember: if you freely choose the Lord while you still have breath to do so – “The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.” (Zephaniah 3:17) (Contemp. Eng. Ver)

“Yahweh your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will bring you quietness with His love.  He will delight in you with shouts of joy.” Zephaniah 3:17
 

Jesus has won the victory…His name IS victory! Why?

Christ’s name is victory!

Why worship him?

  1. He only “borrowed” a grave for 3 partial days while he visited hell to claim his victory over death. He did not stay in the grave but was resurrected by God. He sits at the right hand of Father God today and is present on earth every day — all the time still.
  2. He is not a fallible man, but the sinless son of God. Other world religions want you to follow the teachings of a mere human.  Mormonism’s Joseph Smith, Buddhism’s Buddha, Islam’s Mohammed, Scientology’s L. Ron Hubbard have never been proven to be more than revered humans. They are buried and gone, never to return to earth. They do not walk amongst us today. In the end, they were not victorious over the grave.
  3. Jesus values each and every one of us equally and sees value in us individually. We aren’t a huge crowd or ethnicity to him. Today’s elite have a nickname for those that aren’t them: Worthless Eaters. That is because the individual is not revered as specially created by God with intrinsic worth as the creation of His hand. Biometrics just adds more reason to believe that we are all special individuals; we all have distinguishable fingerprints and retina prints. We are not lost in the crowd to Jesus. He longs that each of us would turn from our arrogant unbelief and accept his free offer of salvation while it is still available.
  4. He freely gives us Holy Spirit as our guide to holiness and comforter. He helps us pray when we are so troubled or unsure of what to even pray. Accepting Jesus has changed countless lives from evil or addictive behavior…causing astonishing change in direction. People who follow Jesus are able to walk away from their broken chains that Satan coiled around them…supernatural power from God becomes available as sons and daughters of God. Suddenly, Holy Spirit’s “fruits” of love, peace, joy, faithfulness, patience and long-suffering towards others begin to manifest.
  5. His love is devoted and enduring. He offers mercy and faithfulness. He pledges himself to us. He takes away guilt and shame and replaces them with salvation. He offers an unbreakable covenant with the people of earth.
  6. HE’S COMING BACK FOR A PEOPLE CONSECRATED TO HIM…THAT WAIT AND WATCH FOR THEIR MESSIAH’S RETURN. Read and understand this truth from the last book and chapter of the Bible, Revelation 22: 12-17 “Then I (Christ’s apostle John) was told: I am coming soon! And when I come, I will reward everyone for what they have done. I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. God will bless all who have washed their robes (accepted salvation through Jesus’ atonement on the cross). They will each have the right to eat fruit from the tree that gives life, and they can enter the gates of the city. But outside the city will be dogs, witches, immoral people, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who loves to tell lies and do wrong.” I am Jesus! And I am the one who sent my angel to tell all of you these thiings for the churches. I am David’s Great Descendant, and I am also the bright morning star. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Everyone who hears this should say, “Come!” If you are thirsty (for God’s righteousness), Come! If you want life-giving water, come and take it. It’s free!“
  7. Jesus is part of the great I AM. Present with God from before the foundation of the earth. In Genesis, at creation, the word “We” is used instead of the singular “I.” Throughout the Old and New Testament, God refers to himself as “I AM.” This follows all the way through Jesus’ earthly life where he left heaven and dwelt among us to offer a personal, one-on-one salvation, so that the term “I AM” is also used to describe him through the last book and chapter of God’s Holy Bible — his living word left for us to follow.
  8. Listen to these anointed worship songs: “Resurrecting” by Elevation Worship on their Here as in Heaven album and “Ever Be” by Bethel Music on their We Will Never Be Shaken album  on how worthy is Jesus to be worshiped. Jesus, your name is VICTORY!

“Sometimes what seems right is really a road to death.” Proverbs 16:25 Take time and effort to research the miracles being performed today = CHOOSE GOD’S SIDE!

How much time and effort are you spending studying your options for where you will spend eternity? This should be a person’s life-long study. Since this life is brief at best when compared to the endless time of forever, you should be diligently sifting through evidence looking for truth. So many people casually throw away God without hardly a glance at all the lives transformed by the power of God’s Holy Spirit.

“Fools have no desire to learn; they would much rather give their own opinion.” Proverbs 18:2.  I am deeply worried by everyone who thinks highly of their own opinion and degrees of higher learning who have chosen to believe the lie that God is not real without really studying and discovering the overwhelming truth that He is indeed real.  “Saying foolish things is lie setting a trap to destroy yourself.” Proverbs 18:7. Try reading a book like Impact Africa: Demonstrations of the Real Power of Jesus Christ Today compiled by Daniel Kolenda, evangelist and President of Christ for all Nations (CfaN) before you dismiss God’s healings, deliverances and salvation of souls in modern times. It’s much easier to dismiss something you have not really studied in depth. What are you occupying your time with that could be more important than where you will spend eternity?

All the truth you would ever need to believe in God’s plan for planet earth, and that Jesus Christ existed when the world was created and was sent at just the right time to intersect humanity and offer a plan of salvation, and Holy Spirit infilling believers from Christ’s resurrection in approximately 32 a.d. to now for a continual stream of salvation, deliverance and healings is readily available in books, CDs, audios, DVDs and online blogs and media sites. Dismissing God out of hand is arrogance and rebellion. You don’t really want to believe, repent and change your ways, so you do not investigate. “It’s stupid and embarrassing to give an answer before you listen. The rich think their money is a wall of protection.” (Proverbs 18, 13, 11)

You are going to want to have Jesus Christ on your side, as an advocate for your soul before almighty God on the day when EVERYONE (rich, poor, humble, evil, good, lazy, sloppy, intelligent, etc.) is judged. Your whole life is being recorded. You will see the opportunities you passed by to know God intimately. Your own words and actions will condemn you without Jesus to defend you. The most chilling words in all the universe are recorded in God’s Holy Bible when Jesus says, “I never knew you.” Start researching today, this minute, as if your eternal soul, that which lives on when your body-covering mortal body dies, depends on it because this is truth.

Jesus spoke to the people of his day, condemning them for unbelief even after many miracles of healing had been performed in their towns: “If the miracles that took place in your towns had happened in Tye and Sidon, the people there would have turned to God long ago…do you thin you will be honored in heaven? You will go down to hell! If the miracles that took place in your town had happened in Sodom, that town would still be standing. So I tell you that on the day of judgment the people of Sodom will get off easier than you.” Matthew 21-24

How determined are you to be worthless and disobedient?

As in modern 21st Century living, the people living when 2 Kings was written were determined to be worthless before God. Preachers today keep telling us that all people have worth before God their maker and that is true. Every soul living has the chance to turn freely in appreciation to God and be thankful for his salvation plan, repent of wickedness and disobedience, and turn their hearts and minds with Holy Spirit’s help towards God.

But hear this well. What if a person is DETERMINED to spit on God’s offer and walk away? My heart breaks with all the “pride” events and shaking of fists in God’s face. They deeply grieve God as well. “Even though the Lord had commanded…not to worship idols, they did it anyway…they were as stubborn as their ancestors who had refused to worship the Lord Their God. They ignored the Lord’s warnings and commands, and they rejected the solemn agreement he had made with their ancestors.” (2 Kings 17: 12, 14-15)

See if you see modern humanity in this indictment: “They worshiped worthless idols and became worthless themselves. The people disobeyed all the commands of the LORD their God….they also worshiped the stars (astrology/science fiction/comic book heroes) and the god Baal (thousands of cults in operation today that don’t follow Jesus to salvation). They used magic and witchcraft (looking for knowledge and consorting with evil spirits outside of God’s Holy Spirit) and even sacrificed their own children (modern abortion has killed millions voluntarily). They were determined to do everything the LORD hated.” 2 Kings 17: 15-17)

God replies: “…I will say it again: Do not worship any god except me. I am the LORD your god, and I will rescue you from all your enemies.” (2 Kings: 38-39) Notice the promise on the end. God is willing to rescue you from your greatest enemy of your eternal soul, Satan, who desires to drag you down to his kingdom of hell upon your demise. If you draw your last breath determined to rebel against God, He will graciously let you have your way, but you will have become worthless instead of worthy to enter into eternal reward with his son Jesus Christ as the gatekeeper. Jesus is the ultimate model of worthiness.

Consider John, the apostle’s eyewitness account of the end of time (which we are fast approaching), when he is translated to heaven to inscribe for all time in the last book of God’s Holy Bible, Revelation< how this age would end. “I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals (which begins the final judgment cycle on an unrepentant, sin-filled world)? John records that he “cries hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or see inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the ‘Lion from the Tribe of Judah’ and ‘King David’s Great Descendant’ (Jesus) has won the victory. He will open the book and its seven seals.” (Rev. 5: 2, 4-5). Finally, millions upon millions of angels and the redeemed of Christ say together in a loud voice the very truth of God: “The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom,strength, honor, glory and praise.” (Rev. 5:11-12) Notice that not one sports star, musician, famed politician, film maker, etc. is considered worthy to follow with your trust that they will save you.

Worthy… Worthless…where you choose to place your trust and allegiance will have eternal consequences.  Choose Jesus Christ this day. Place your trust in God’s worthy son.

Cults and Idols are everywhere. Beware of false worship.

Everywhere I look, idols and cults are misleading the people from a meaningful relationship with the one and only living God. I am horrified and dismayed by the path to immorality and willing denial of God’s word. Due to politically correct speech, no one would dare call everything that twists or ignores God’s Holy Bible, which describes God’s own bridge to salvation, a cult. Space precludes listing all the so-called religions which are actually cults by way of scripture’s one way of telling the absolute truth: if any religion is made up from the mind of man, it will not honor Jesus Christ as God’s only son and path to salvation. It is that profound and that complex, yet simple.

So, sad to say, the following large “religious” groups are all wasting their time and misplaced allegiance with their religious rituals: Mormons, Christian Scientists, Scientologists, Wiccans, Goddess/Earth/Druid worship, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. This is not hate speech and non-inclusiveness. Truth is truth whether or not a person chooses to accept, believe and submit to it. God calls on anyone who wants to be saved to repent of their sins, arrogance, idols and false worship and turn to Him through the sacrifice of His son on the cross 2,000 years ago.

Christ’s apostle, John, through the writing inspired by God’s own Holy Spirit sums up this eternal truth while part of Jesus’ earthly ministry circle of apostles in the Bible book named for him. This truth could save then, and is still saving 2 millenia later:

“No one has gone up to heaven except the Son of Man (Jesus), who came down from there. And the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as that metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert. Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did no send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! No one who has faith in God’s son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn’t have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God’s only Son.” (John 3: 13-18) You know the phrase “Dead man walking” could be applied here. A person walking earth without faith in Jesus does not have their name written in God’s Bookk of Life. You are literally a dead soul walking and condemned to spend an eternity where nonbelievers go at their last breath – hell – without being snatched from Satan’s hand where you are until God’s glory is placed willingly within you, changing your DNA to heirs and sons/daughters of God through Jesus Christ. In your daily life, choices made have large and small consequences. So it is with deciding to believe in cults and idols. Satan does not care which lie you embrace as long as it keeps you in his dark kingdom of this world.

“My people are determined to reject me for a god they think is stronger, but he can’t help.You have planted evil, harvested injustice, and eaten the fruit of your lies. You trusted your own strength and your powerful forces. Now you continue to sin by designing and making idols of silver…You are told to sacrifice to these idols– yes, even to kiss them. And so, all of you will vanish lie the mist or the dew of early morning, or husk of grain in the wind or smoke from a chimney.” (Hosea 10: 13, 11:7 and 13: 2-3)

God’s promise: “…give up your idols! I will answer your prayers and take care of you. I am that glorious tree, the source of your fruit. If you are wise, you will know and understand what i mean. I am the Lord, and I lead you along the right path. If you obey me, we will walk together, but if you are wicked, you will stumble.” (Hosea 14:8-9)

“…God is begging you to listen to our message…Make peace with God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)

God has given mankind the privilege  of partnering with Him for the last 2,000 years since Jesus Christ was resurrected and returned to heaven to bring the good news of salvation to our lost world. “God has done it all! He sent Christ to make peace between himself and us, and he has given us the work of making peace between himself and others. What we mean is that God was in Christ, offering peace and forgiveness to the people of this world. And he has given us the work of sharing his message about peace.” (2 Corinth. 5: 18-19)

Turn to God, your father, before the coming day when disaster strikes and the age of grace ends. Just as this era had a definite beginning point with Christ’s atonement for our sin at Calvary’s cross in Jerusalem, there will be a definite end when this age of grace closes and the judgments against people who continually choose evil and mock Holy Spirit begins. The eternal God longs that none of us would perish without a freewill choice to accepts his salvation, freely offered. Jesus has been knocking on the “door” (or entry point to your soul) of your heart for your whole lifetime. “We (first century apostles of Jesus) were sent to speak for Christ, and God is begging you to listen to our message. We speak for Christ and sincerely ask you to make peace with God. Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so that Christ could make us acceptable to God.” (2 Corinth. 5: 20-21)

Being a stubborn, arrogant fool and rejecting God will have eternal consequences – forever and ever and ever. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1)

Do not align yourself with scoffers and mockers of God. Recently at the Decision America tour with Franklin Graham in Madison, Wisconsin, people from the FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) were holding signs that boldly proclaimed: UNABASHED ATHEIST – NOT AFRAID OF BURNING IN HELL. They may not be afraid of it, but their rejection of hell does not make it any less real. People who have been granted visits to hell in the 21st Century as part of his mercy and telling of truth have come back to earth very, very afraid of that place of eternal damnation and torment where the body is given over to those very same demons of destruction and lying that were embraced by the arrogant on earth by virtue of their rejection of Holy Spirit. Some form of spirit will be within you or against you upon cessation of your earthly body. Choose that which is holy and pure and good. Now I am begging you as well as your creator, God.

“The Lord…is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”(2 Peter 3:9)

God will welcome you into His Kingdom. He doesn’t think anyone is unclean or unfit

“…God has shown me that he doesn’t think anyone is unclean or unfit.” Acts 10:28

Are you so “bad” that God won’t accept you into His kingdom? Are you a “good person” who will be acceptable to God through your own merits? I watched a movie last night called “The Awakening” which showed a version of the Rapture of the church where bodies were left behind and souls were taken to be with Jesus at the wedding of the Lamb of God. The vast majority had no idea what had just happened. Of those who had been told by their friends or relatives that Jesus would return soon for his believers, I was struck by the number of people who were terribly confused that they had been left though they considered themselves to be “good” people. So I would like to plead with you for true Biblical understanding.

“God told us to announce clearly to the people that Jesus is the one he has chosen to judge the living and the dead. Every one of the prophets has said that all who have faith in Jesus will have their sins forgiven in his name.” Acts 10: 42-43

The issue is not whether you are “good” or “bad.” Thinking you are good enough for God’s kingdom by your own acts and merits is a modern lie perpetrated by satan. You would be using your earthly judgment to place yourself in one of those categories. The issue is are your sins forgiven by God due to your belief in his sin-replacing offering, Jesus Christ, his one and only son sent to take away the sins of the world and overcome the kingdom of darkness and death. Rich or poor, mighty in athletic strength, puny and weak, young or old will not matter when your soul passes from your earthly skin-covering into the unseen dimension of eternity. At that time what you truly believed in will be your salvation or damnation, by your own words, deeds and actions. Did God ever hear you profess belief openly in his beloved son, Jesus? God is so mighty and so vast and so omnipotent that he hears every one of your thoughts and prayers whether spoken aloud or said within your mind. Mind-blowing!

You cannot build any sort of ladder that will take you off this earth, up through the clouds and into heaven. Impossible. Not possible. You MUST use the bridge that God himself set in motion from the foundation of the world, when Jesus was present at creation, and believe in his free gift of his son. So simple, yet so profound. Belief and faith that God has offered you the truth all these centuries through his inspired word, the Holy Bible. You have been given free will to make this choice. God does not order you to use his bridge. He offers his bridge to you freely without toll. Crossing over with Jesus will be the most blissful thing that has ever happened to you. Your body will die, but your spirit will live on forever in God’s kingdom.

Peter (God’s apostle who was an eye-witness to Christ’s earthly ministry) then said:  “Now I am certain that God treats all people alike. God is pleased with everyone who worships him and does right, no matter what nation they come from. This is the same message that God gave to the people of Israel, when he sent Jesus Christ, the Lord of all, to offer peace to them.” Acts 10: 34-36

Followed by: “God gave the Holy Spirit and power to Jesus from Nazareth. He was with Jesus, as he went around doing good and healing everyone who was under the power of the devil.  Jesus was put to death on a cross. But thee days later, God raised him to life and let him be seen. God told us to announce clearly to the people that Jesus is the one he has chosen to judge the living and the dead. Everyone of the prophets has said that all who have faith in Jesus will have their sins forgiven in his name.” Acts 10: 38-40. 42-43

 

 

Why are Christ’s followers being slaughtered around the globe?

Why are Christians, who preach peace under God, being slaughtered for their beliefs? What is so threatening about them? You don’t hear about mobs of Christians blowing up Muslims or Hindus. There are no reports of people shouting “Jesus is Lord” and then murdering innocents out having dinner or gathering for airport flights. Why the dogged determination to exterminate us? Because Satan knows full well that we are carriers of God’s truth. His time before believers are raptured is short. How will he explain when millions of God’s beloved chosen followers, known for their love and faith in God, just disappear?

Paul, God’s chosen apostle to non-Jews (Gentiles) asks “Am I now your enemy, just because I told you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16) Well, to answer his question 2,000 years later, “Yes, we have become very dangerous to the gathering of souls into Hell’s kingdom of lies and falsehood.” We threaten Satan’s plan of obscuring the truth from human minds that their souls are eternal and will live on after death in one of two places: hell with him or heaven with God, his son Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit (called the Trinity), His angels and believers.

It’s a numbers game with the evil one. Take out as many truth-carriers as he can and decrease the population. What we don’t see though with our natural eyes is what happens one second after the physical body dies. Jesus is there to greet and welcome the believer that was just murdered. They have now won another crown for being faithful unto death. The suicide bomber or assassin by another method has now just entered his master’s kingdom of eternal heat and darkness. In an astonishingly fair twist, the murderer is now incarcerated in Hell for his crimes against believers, and the murdered enters into the presence of God.

“All that the Law says can be summed up in the command to love others as much as you love yourself. But if you keep attacking each other like wild animals, you had better watch out or you will destroy yourselves.” (Galatians 5: 14-15)

Water is God’s gift to quench thirst…turn down God’s offer of heaven and be eternally thirsty

Posted: June 19, 2016 in Hell and Heaven are both real places. Your earthly choices determine your eternal destination!, Rivers of Living Water: Salvation

Without water there is no life. Without clean water there is disease and despair here on earth. Dry, barren lands are created when very little rainfall is available. Water is like gold — such a precious commodity in thirsty communities around the world.

In Hell visions, one notices how everyone begs for a drop of water and cries continually that they are thirsty. In choosing Satan as their God, those people now do not have water which is God’s gift. Water is gone along with love and light. These souls who said “no thanks” to God’s offer on earth of salvation through His offer of life-giving water through belief in Jesus now suffer in everlasting heat, flames, and caverns.

Jesus compared drinking water to believing when he spoke with the woman at the well in Samaria. In prophetic fulfillment of Isaiah 55 where the Lord invites all who are thirsty to “come to the waters” of salvation by faith, Jesus tells the woman He offers “living water” so she will never “thirst” again. Faith is choosing freely to drink the water of belief and be indwelt by Holy Spirit.  Jesus’ atoning death on a cross of wood creates an opportunity for belief and salvation.  Belief brings new life in the Holy Spirit. (John 4:21-24). This faith will carry you into eternity where there is a river of crystal pure water that flows from the throne of God in heaven.

I can hardly wait to see this sparkling, clean, holy sight for myself. Choose belief in Jesus today and come with me. God longs for each of us to turn to Him in faith. He desires that none would perish and go to eternal judgment.

“Then I lift my hands in prayer, because my soul is a desert, thirsty for water from you.” Psalm 143:6
