I spoke the last time that heaven
is a place we can long for. It is a place where all our sorrows
will be a thing of the past. It is a place where your spirit can be
who you truly are and who you were created to be. And better yet,
it is a place that we can know exist. It is not fiction and it is
not fake. It is more real than this blog that I am writing now. It
is more real than the food you eat today and it is a place where we
can go to with ease.
The Lord promises us easy access if
we accept Jesus into our lives, accept what He did for us on the
cross and give Him reign over our lives. It is as simple as that. I
read this morning in Revelations a very good description of what
Jesus looks like:
"When I turned, I saw seven gold
lampstands. And in the middle of the lampstands was the Son of Man.
He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across His chest. His
head and His hair were white as wool, as white as snow. And His
eyes were bright like flames of fire. His feet were as bright as
bronze refined in a furnace, and His Voice thundered like mighty
ocean waves. He held seven stars in His right hand, and a sharp
two-edged sword came from His mouth. And His face was as bright as
the sun in all its brilliance." Revelations 1:12-16.
Wow, isn't it an amazing
description? He is even more awesome than any of us can imagine. He
most probably looks even more remarkable if you were to see Him
face to face. I personally don't think our frail human bodies can
fully take in what His appearance is truly like.
Now who else in the world can you
truly trust with your life than Him? He is the most spectacular
Being of all time. Surely it can't be too difficult to give our
lives over to Him. Surely He knows what is best for us? And yet it
is so sad to see how people turn away from Him and rather ask
advice of their frail buddy next to them. How people don't want to
follow Him, because it is not popular in our material world. It is
so sad to see how people mock Him by using His precious Name as a
swear word. What a sad world we live in.
But as I said there is hope. If you
give your live over to Him to take charge of it, you will be amazed
by the gap He can fill in your life. I am sure all of you at one
point in time have experienced that sad feeling that sometimes
comes over one. A longing and an aching of the heart that you
cannot explain and that one tries to fill with the pleasures of
this world. But in actual fact it is the longing in your heart to
be with Jesus. The longing in your heart to go to heaven, the place
where your spirit belongs. If you haven't given your heart and life
to Jesus please pray the prayer below. Please say it out loud and
mean every word you say. And know that after you prayed that prayer
that you will be part of the Lord's family and that you are on your
way to heaven. Go out and buy a Bible and start reading it and join
your closest church that will help nurture you in your walk with
God.
So if you want to pray a repentance
prayer, please do it with me now:
Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am
sorry that I keep on hurting you with my wrongful actions. Please
forgive me and lead me in your rightful ways. I believe that you
died for me, and I believe that only through you, will I
be saved. I thank you for dying for my sins on the cross. I accept
the working of the Holy Spirit in my life, and I believe that the
Father sent you to save me. Thank you for accepting me as your
bride. I look forward to being with you.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this
prayer, you can be certain that you will be part of the Lord's
family. You can be certain that you will share in the wedding feast
of all time, and that you will be with the Lord forever and ever.
Welcome to the Lord's family! It is exciting!
Know that all of the angels, and in
particular Jesus, are rejoicing about you right now. You are now
part of the homecoming of the exquisite bride, which is God's
people. Live today in anticipation of that day. Look forward to it
and live everyday to the full. You are part of the Most High's
Royal Family!
