Don’t Go There

Hell.

I am uncommonly reminded of it this morning.
I am scared for people.
People are going to hell.
Did you know that?
How often do you think about that?
Who wants to think about that? I don’t. But I am.
Billions of people are on their way to hell. (Matthew 7:13)
Billions have already made their way there.
The majority of people who die, do not go to Heaven.
Most go to hell.
You do know this, don’t you?

I feel somewhat like Noah I think and not due to the rain.
As I type this piece we are expecting much rain. There is a hurricane in the Gulf headed quickly this way.  What the hurricane will do is not certain.
But hell is certain. It is certain that every person who dies without a covenant relationship with YESHUA, The Messiah, The Christ will go to hell. Period. Forever.

How much do we care?

Hebrews 9:27  (AMP) 27 And just as it is appointed and destined for all men to die once and after this [comes certain] judgment,  source

Romans 6:23 (TLV) 23 For sin’s payment is death, but God’s gracious gift is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. source

Romans 10:9  (NKJV) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. source

Matthew 11:28  (AMP) 28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. source

If GOD is still speaking to you, say YES to HIM today.
I’d like to help if I may, email or comment.

 

Absolutely Comfortably Confident

Absolutes
There are absolutes in our world and they are ALL related to The Creator GOD.
These absolutes are HE HIMSELF and those things which He has decreed.

From the Bible, many doctrines have been preached, discussed, and debated. One of those is the Calling Up of The Followers of YESHUA.

It is absolutely a doctrine of Scripture and I am absolutely sure that I do not know the nanosecond it will happen. I think it could be any day and I think it could be a while yet. I do not know. But it is certain.

I also have another opinion. Am I absolutely certain of it? No. But I am comfortably confident.

I see The Calling Up, the Rapture, as it has been called for centuries as a point in time when GOD gives Self-worshippers and devil-worshippers what they think they want: NO CHRISTIANS ON EARTH.
Why do they think they want that?
It’s simple really.
Real Christians remind them they are sinners in need of a Savior and that is an absolute that they absolutely do not want to hear.
And so when Self-worshippers and devil-worshippers have reached a level of hatred for GOD that can no longer be given the abiding grace of GOD, He will give them what they think they want – a world without Christians.
But being the GOD He is He still desires to save so at the appointed time He will raise up Two Witnesses to preach His Gospel and even Angels will deliver the Gospel to the Peoples of the earth who have been moved by the Wrath of GOD to accept the Grace of GOD.

You see in this time we now live it is the KINDNESS of GOD that leads people to repentance (look it up. That’s what the Bible says) but when CHRISTIANS are removed, His Wrath that has spoken to any who will give an ear will lead some to salvation and it will cost them their heads.
A price they will gladly pay. As in those days, death will be welcomed over continuing to live here.

Am I absolutely sure of that? Absolutely.

Romans 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  source

Painted Ourselves Into a Corner, did we?

A dear and loved friend posted the following on her Facebook page.

In three short months, just like He did with the plagues of Egypt, God has taken away everything we worship. God said, “you want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians, I will shut down Civic Centers. You want to worship actors, I will shut down theaters. You want to worship money, I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market. You don’t want to go to church and worship Me, I will make it where you can’t go to church”
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Maybe we don’t need a vaccine, Maybe we need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival where we focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters. Jesus.

If you believe this copy and share. Start the revival in your home……Spread the Love of Jesus. ✝️

I get it.
Albeit, I’m not so sure we can accredit GOD with the shutting down of all the things we have come to worship – I think we painted ourselves into a corner and we didn’t know what else to do.
Heavens! We couldn’t ask Him, could we?!

I do think it is so apropos that what we as a People have come to worship we were willing to forego because we feared for our lives.

If only this would remind us that we are in a far graver peril than Covid-19 and have been since we knowingly committed our first sin.

My friend’s post suggested revival. I agree! The people of GOD need revival! Big time!
So who are the People of GOD, anyway?

We who have said, yes GOD I believe You, I can’t save myself. Thank You JESUS for giving me YOUR Righteousness in exchange for my sins.  And then somewhere along the way, we stopped being in AWE that He would do such a thing for depraved us!  It is WE who need revival! And until we do this:

2 Chronicles 7:14  (KJV) 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  source

Do we really expect the people of the world to repent and say YES to the GOD they have not seen?!

Romans 2:4  (NLT) Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?  source

Sickness and disease are NOT punishment FROM GOD; they are consequences of sin – sometimes ours, sometimes others and sometimes just because this world is not our Home.  Let REVIVAL begin!
