Would You Like To Go To Heaven

Leave a reply

There is only one way to Heaven. Jesus Christ said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh  to the Father, but by me.”

Several decades ago upon asking the question, “Would you like to go to Heaven someday? I heard many different answers, most everyone answered “Yes,” except for a few skeptics.

However, according to the scriptures, and I always use the King James Bible, as it is truly the preserved word of God. Palms 12:6-7 “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”

My Bible is very specific on how you get to Heaven, and also on how you get to Hell.

First of all, you must have FAITH. The scriptures say in Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

In the Old Testament God sent the Prophet, Jeremiah to warn the people of Israel about what was going to happen to them because they had turned their backs on the only True God. And Jeremiah lets them have it just as the Lord God told him. By the way, Jeremiah put forth around fifty prophesies that came true for them, and folks, many of them were meant for The United States of America too. Many, many people in this great nation have turned their back on God.

One of Jeremiah’s prophesies was for the whole world. See, as we look at the wording. Jeremiah 6:19 “Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.” Notice “Hear, O earth.”

God is not just warning Israel, HE is warning everyone on this earth that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)

Jeremiah will have a lot to say to Israel and this world as he prophesies. And I will cover more in another post.

Let’s look at the Prophet, Isaiah. The people of Israel did not like all of what Isaiah had to say. The United States doesn’t like to hear a lot of the words of God. For the Christian, Isaiah gives us much hope in the Lord Jesus Christ and is quoted many times in the New Testament.

The Lord God gives a similar message to Israel and the whole earth! God sends Isaiah a vision in which HE tells Isaiah and everyone on the face of this earth why they and we are in such a mess.
Isaiah 1:1-2 “The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.”

Take notice that God, who created this earth and everything in it and under it has nourished them and us, and what HE thinks of them and us for what we have done. And in case you are saying that you think that was really just for Israel, let’s look at what the writer of two-thirds of the New Testament told us through the commission of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. You should read all of the Pauline epistles and read all of 1 Corinthians 10 for your edification on this matter

I will just give the reason for bringing you here. 1 Corinthians 10:6 “Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.” See For Yourself.

I will close this post with the words of my Lord Jesus Christ in the Book of John, Chapter Fourteen. The Lord Jesus was asked how He would manifest Himself to His followers, and He replied “… If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Today, only a very small amount of people in my own nation keep His words. That, unfortunately, includes Saved Christians.

I am Heaven Bound, Are You?

I am Heaven Bound Are You?

In today’s world, the only thing that is on the minds of the majority in our nation is what I can protest about today, what about my civil rights. The criminals are running our country. Then there are the people who are here illegally demanding their rights. All the men we respected for years, now being charged with a numerous amount of sexual crimes, and politicians wasting all their time persecuting other politicians.

We can not leave out the horrible school shootings, and police shootings the hackers out to steal all that you have, and the very banks that we choose to keep our money safe, doing just the opposite. I could go on, and on about what is ruining the world, and now is ruining this once great United States of America, but I will give you the answer with one word.

SIN!

Of course, you will not hear about that on any newscast, in any newspaper, or unfortunately, not in many churches today.

During World War 1 and World War 2, our nation was a praying nation. I know this because when I was going to school, every morning we would go to the auditorium, stand, pray the Lord’s Prayer, and Pledge of Allegiance to Our Flag of this great nation. Every Wednesday afternoon we got an afternoon off to go to Religious Instructions.

There are no more religious instructions in schools today. Everything being taught today in schools is about “Evolution.” According to Webster’s Dictionary, Evolution, means, A process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)

The only thing that “Evolved” in the period of time from the end of World War 2, and now is the degradation of our Nation! WHY? Amos the Prophet warned of this way before the First Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth to save rotten sinners like me from going to hell.

Even though the Lord GOD was talking to the Prophet Amos all about the sins of Israel, and what they could expect from turning their backs on GOD, you have to see the relationship to the very days we are living in NOW!

AMOS 8:1-12 “Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. Does this look and sound familiar to what is going on right now?

8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
And here we find ourselves in 2018 and maybe a little bit beyond.

11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Oh, how we have become a nation, just Like that of what the LORD was talking to Amos about. We are a nation that has turned our backs on God! We got proud after World War 2 and decided WE won. We did not give God what was due HIM! He should have gotten all the HONOR AND GLORY for our victory. From then on, we relied on our own wisdom and our government to lead us.

Out went the Lord’s Prayer from schools. Out also, went the Ten Commandments from Public Buildings. Out went the Bibles. All this has brought to us is an uneasiness in our nation, with Democrats blaming Republicans, and Republicans blaming Democrats and a number of Republicans blaming their Republican President, I guess for their own motives, and everyone else blaming everyone else, including GOD.

Now we see a Porn Star alleging that she had an affair with The President of the United States, and he is already been found guilty on all the TV New stations, and she is on the way to becoming a millionaire on what she will earn for her alleged affair.
I am not denying The Presidents guilt or the guilt of all the famous celebrity’s whose names have been defamed. I leave that in God’s very capable hands.

The Apostle Paul reminds us that God is aware of all things that are going on and everything hidden that we do will be revealed. Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

These things I say only because of what I get from my Final Authority, which is the King James Bible. I know there are the majority of Americans and Non-Americans that will disagree with me. However, if you Study and Search the Scriptures as God has commanded you, it might not be too late for you to bring some pleasure to God, and find out how God made it so easy for you to come and live with HIM in Heaven someday…
Tune in again, as I will show you some wonderful things that God has promised those that trust in HIM. I will also share HIS wonderful workings in my life. Praise His name forever, Amen!
