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

 

 

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

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
