GREAT QUOTES

"A dark hour makes Jesus bright."
-Robert Murray McCheyne

"There are only two days on my calendar...today and the day of
judgement".
-Martin Luther

"You may pay for the book in which the Gospel is contained; for the
Church or chapel in which it is preached, for the minister who
preaches it to you … but, the Gospel itself is as free as the light
that shines, as the rain and dew which fall from above; as the air
which you inhale and as every other blessing of God"
-John Bate

"This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!"
-Leonard Ravenhill

"The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with
the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the
best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking."
- A.W. Tozer

"That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just 
as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveller has
arrived safely at his desired haven."
- A.W. Tozer

"If the service of God is worth anything, it is worth everything. We
shall find our best reward in the Lord’s work if we do it with
determined diligence. Our labor is not in vain in the Lord, and we
know it."
- Charles H. Spurgeon

"The evangelist who preaches for eternity is never great on numbers.
He is not apt to count hundreds of converts where there is no
restitution, no confession, and no glad cry which proclaims, 'The 
lost is found, the dead is made alive again!'"
-E.M. Bounds.

"I would say without any hesitation that the most urgent need in 
the Christian Church today is true preaching; and as it is the 
greatest and most urgent need in the Church, it is obviously the 
greatest need of the world also."
-Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones.

Leaving On A Journey

Many of God’s people are just now leaving on a journey that God has been preparing them for all of their lives. It is a spiritual journey that is manifested into the natural realm. It is first experienced in the spiritual and is worked out in the natural. Though the destination is not completely clear, enough is known about it to call us forward to seek to fully experience the promised destination of a greater new life. There is no turning back allowed on this journey.

Luke 9:62: But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

Not everyone who is going will make the journey at the same time. However, individuals should be led by the Spirit to gather in groups to make the final preparation and leave on the journey together. It would be very hard if not impossible to complete this journey alone. However, much of the individual’s initial preparation may be made with only the Lord as companionship and fellowship.

This is a journey from religion and religious systems to spiritual kingdom relationship – a journey from doing to being – from formality to reality – from part-time Christianity to full time oneness with God – from giving ten percent to being one hundred percent consumed in God – from living by the Spirit part time to walking in the Spirit every moment – from a life of saying we believe to experiencing the reality of God. This is a journey into a fresh new lifestyle that is empowered by an intimate love relationship with God and works out of us to impact and change the world around us.

I am reminded of the early settlers of America who left their native lands and established a new life in the eastern parts of the nation. Afterward, hearty pioneers set out in small groups of covered wagons to settle in the west. My own great, great grandfather came from Ireland to America and headed west up the old Oregon Trail and settled in the then wild-west country of Frankfort, Kansas. Our spiritual journey into the new land of kingdom of God living as pioneers and settlers can be compared to the pioneers and settlers of western America.

Everything that is not useful for the journey must be sold. The familiar home and all its furnishings will be left. The neighborhood and the friends that were treasured since youth who are not going on the journey are left behind. The places of treasured memories where couples fell in love and were married and where the children were baptized must be left behind. Even the memories will fade as a whole new reality is experienced on the journey. Many things that seemed so very vital and foundational to past life cannot make the journey and are left behind as a new landscape and new priorities come into being in the new life of transition to the new world.

One group after another will start the journey and then another and another until many are on the trail making their way toward the promise of a new life with God. There are many unknowns about the journey, but they do know that it can be very difficult at times with many perils.

The folks that are remaining in the old land often seek desperately to dissuade people from leaving on the journey. With sincere and loving concern, they warn of potential peril in traveling through wilderness areas toward a largely unknown destination. They sincerely believe that everything needed is there in the old land and even though corruption has invaded the people and threatens to bring them all into seasons of lack and loss of freedom, they still say it is better than leaving the known for the wilderness travels toward a promise only seen in the spiritual realm by spiritual eyes.

Yet the Spirit draws, and those who will follow God hear clearly the call to the new land - the spiritual city of life beyond all they have known before – life as it was intended to be from the beginning – a life completely free from sin and any of its results – a life in the presence of God as He walks among the people and fills their lives with the light of His glory. He will wipe away every tear caused by the sometimes painful experiences of leaving the past and the perilous wilderness journey.

A Spiritual Journey with Real Dangers and Unprecedented Rewards

The earliest travelers on this journey paid a great price and many did not make it through. They did blaze a trail as far as they made it, so that subsequent travelers can follow it to assist them in their journey. As more travelers travel the trail it is more clearly marked and improved. Each group may add some logs in a bog or discover a better river crossing. Some have left devastating monuments beside the trail of their burned-out, wrecked vehicles and shallow graves of those who were attacked and overcome by the enemy along the way.

Since the earliest pioneers there has been an increase of called-out ones selling out and journeying down the faint but increasingly marked trail. Only in the past few decades has there been a dramatic increase in those setting out on the potentially perilous journey. The call of God is reaching many more people including young people who desperately hunger for the promise of abiding in the presence of God in a holy place among holy people. The tragic weight of sin and its awful penalties have become an unbearable burden to these who are selling all, and with God-given strength and determination are leaving the past to make the journey. These are road builders who will prepare the way for the multitudes to come after them.

The trail will be made into a Highway for the masses who will make the journey behind them. Those leaving now are sent to prepare the way for the people of God to move from the past church-age mixtures into the pure and holy kingdom of God, New Jerusalem lifestyle. The road builders must have their personal valleys exalted and their mountains and hills made low within their own lives. They must have their crooked places made straight and their rough places made smooth. The highway is built as multitudes follow and become a straightened, smooth, and level highway of holiness for God.

Some of us are hearing the call, the voice crying in the wilderness.

Isa 40:3-5: The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Leadership for the Journey

A new and different leadership is being formed for the transition. The new Leaders have traveled the trail and know the terrain. They are prepared, gifted, and sent to help lead the holy kingdom highway building.

The new leaders walk among the group and not above it. All are on the journey together. The new leaders have been further along the trail and experienced more brokenness, cleansing them from all the mixtures of the past.

Gifted apostles and prophets are sent by God for transitional leadership. These humble leaders have been emptied of self and the resurrection life of Jesus imparted into them by the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Christ Jesus has unhindered free reign to flow into and through them. The supernatural works flowing through them are only surpassed by the presence of the wisdom of God that formed all creation and the love of God that overcomes evil in its presence.

Isa 35:8-10: A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, though a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; it shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

The End of the Journey

For each of us and collectively all of us, the end of the journey is fully becoming the Bride of Christ pictured as the New Jerusalem of God and ruling and reigning with Him in a renewed world transformed by His love, wisdom, and power.

Rev 21:9-10: Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem,

Rev 21:2-5: Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."

On a broader, worldwide scale beyond the journey of the highway of holiness people, the transition of the world will be catastrophic and cataclysmic as the pride and loftiness of man and all that lifts itself against God will be dissolved by fire and the land resettled by the holy, pure Bride of Christ people ruling and reigning with Christ. And of His kingdom there shall be no end.

Mat 13:41-43: "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Isa 9:7: Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

“My Journey to Hell”

When I was 22 years old, I was struck by lighting while I was driving my car. For about 15 minutes I was transported into hell. During this time an Angel of the Lord was driving my car! For a long time I have forgotten a great deal of my journey to hell. On a vacation to Italy the memory of this experience came back bit by bit, not only memories from the time I had spent in Hell but also memories of my childhood when I saw Jesus and an angel standing next to my bed.


My Mom was 18 years old when I was born. Soon after that I got a stepfather, who rejected me. because of him. I experienced some bad things. By the age of five I went to church on a regular basis. At this stage Jesus became real to me and every time I was lonely , I prayed to Him. Often I was crying in my bed, because I was not supposed to be crying in front of my stepfather. Every attempt to cry would cause me to gain more punishment. At the age of seven I ran away from home for the first time and sought shelter at my grandmothers. Through those terrible experiences in my childhood, I lost all my faith in God. If there was a God, I thought, He would not have allowed all these terrible things in my life. During my youth, I tried to commit suicide three times. Jesus healed me from the pain in my past and by His grace I was able to forgive my stepfather. To Him alone belongs the glory. Back to the incident, where I was hit by lighting. Through this experience I became aware of the fact that there is life after death. I was sad when I thought that there would be loved ones, friends and family members caught in hell.

In summer 1981 I was driving home from a party, when it began to rain. My safety belt from my passenger side was hanging out of the car door. By this I was earthed. All of a sudden it was very bright in my car. I was hit by lighting and I thought this is the end, I am dying. Immediately I was screaming: Jesus help me, I don't want to die!

After that I left my body and I saw myself sitting in my seat with burned hands holding the steering wheel of my car. With an enormous rush the journey went through a tunnel, which was like a canyon. I did not touch it at all. This short time was terrible, I can't find the words to describe it. At the end of the tunnel, I stood in front of a big gate with the engraved words "Welcome to Hell". There I was brought into a big waiting room, by demons that had met me at the entrance. I was utterly shocked by the earnest cries of the people for Jesus to help them. Did they not read their bible correctly to find out that it it is not enough to say yes to Jesus once, live as you please and at the end end up in Heaven.

That is a lie that is well spread, even in a lot of congregations today. After that I saw black passages in which I only felt great FEAR. The creatures that I saw there, were more terrifying than anything I even saw in a Horror movie. Today I know that they were demons. As soldiers they where marching past me, and in the middle of them were people that were screaming with pain. It was very difficult to breathe down there, because of the terrible smell of this place. I saw a lake, which looked like the inner part of a vulcano. where people were cursing because of great pain and crying out to Jesus.

I was grateful towards God for letting me see the happenings in this lake of fire from a distance. Does it not hurt when we burn ourselves at the iron or on the stove? How much more is the pain that is experienced in the lake of fire. People were cast into a cave,where there was no escape. Demons stood on the side of the cave and were throwing spears at them. Every time someone was hit by a spear, he would cry and scream of pain. I experienced this torment myself and in all my life I never knew pain to this extent. I had pain in every part of my body. There were snakes over snakes crawling around and frightening the people. By the thought of it my tummy turns. Nobody should think there is time to convert in hell.

Everyone is busy with his own pain and anguish that has no end. In hell, I discovered a fear that has never been on earth. I makes me very sad to find so many unforgiving and sleeping Christians there. It is the last hour,we must wake up ! It was such a grace that I met Jesus in such a place. Jesus has the loveliest voice, the nicest eyes and a very special smile. His presence radiates an unimaginable light. He is more than embodied love, I can find no words to describe Him. He sent me back into my body with the instruction to proclaim what I had seen. In the meantime an angel was driving my car to my grandmother's house.

There I came to myself and started to scream. I was hit by lighting , - "I was dead and in hell!" I screamed again and again. Soon some neighbors in their pajamas appeared . At first they did not believe me, than someone saw that the plastic parts in my car that were melted and that the safety belt of the passenger's side was hanging outside. At the age of 24 I experienced another miracle of God`s hands. For a while I was living in Frankfurt and I often drove to my grandmother at weekends.

Unfortunately I never had enough money and the gas tank was nearly empty which was often the case. On this day I put just enough gas to reach the house of my grandmother. It was a wonderful summer day and during the drive I spoke to God. As I was looking at the beautiful landscape, it came to my mind that all this would come to an end. We as human beings are so busy providing for this life that we forget about the life there after. Because of these deep thoughts I missed the drive out. I asked Jesus to help me not to ran out of gas and stand on the highway. I believe in my heart that Jesus took care of me. From that minute my car was using no gas at all and I was driving 150 km in the wrong direction. At this weekend I was dancing for pure joy and thanking Jesus and honouring Him. Weeks later I was testifying about His goodness.

Later I was back in this world and in His faithfulness Jesus brought my back to Him. On July 7th 2002, at 2.00 in the morning I heard Jesus say: "I am coming soon and will fetch my bride, all those who are prepared for my coming and who have oil in their lamps."
After that God , the Father will pour out HIS anger and wrath over the earth. Come now to Jesus, TODAY is the day of salvation! It is a lie to believe that a man only has to say Yes to Jesus without accepting Him as Lord to go to heaven. - Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him : If you abide in my word , you are my disciples indeed" (John 8,31)

His word says in 1 John 2, verse 3-9 Now by this we know that we know Him; if we keep His commandments. He who says "I know Him", and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfect in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

He who says he is in the light, and hates his bother, is in the darkness until now. Unforgivingbackbiting other Christians is one of the biggest reasons, why people who accept Jesus as Lord, people who go to church every Sunday still land up in hell. I do bless every reader in the name of Jesus and wish him wisdom and understanding. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever more. He instructed us to love one another and to serve each other with the gifts He has given us. It is impossible to serve God and live according to this world! und

If we want to be transformed into the image of Jesus, then we have to humble ourselves, because He says He is humble. Humbleness, total surrender and trust are the keys to Heaven. Let us get hold of these keys and reject the desires of this world. We do live in this world, but through the Baptism [we choose to be crusified in all flesh] we are no longer a part of this world. On this point Jesus gave me a vision, that is based on this thought. I saw a room that was totally dark, even the wallpaper on the walls was dark, there was no light at all. The people in this room (I am sure they were Christians) were without orientation and helpless. Directly next to this room was a room you could enter through a door. In this room all the walls were covered with valuable and lighted wallpapers, that I was blinded looking at it from this dark room.

The door between these two rooms however, was very low and you could only enter into the bright room when you were crawling. It was a shame, but there was nobody willing to crawl like a child to get into this bright room. Right here is where the problem is. The light is directly in front of many Christians, but they are not prepared to humble themselves. They rather stay in the darkness and that means that they are far away from God and would not find the way to heaven. All because of pride.

Through her experiences Sister Choo Thomas wrote a book: Heaven is so Real. In this book Jesus gives us a picture of our future in Heaven.

With each chapter the feeling of being a witness on the scene was just increasing. I could just sense the love of Jesus directly through it. Do not harden your heart to the love of God! Jesus is showing us that He is not just loving, but that He is Love. He is warning us through so many of His children throughout the whole world.

The time is close and God will pour out His wrath over the earth. Where would you be?
Come unto Jesus and don't grieve the Holy Spirit further, tomorrow could be too late. Not only is Heaven Real, but by this experience that Hell is no fairy tale,it is just as Real ! If you should die today and you are not sure if you would make it to Heaven, give Your life to Jesus and pray this prayer

Prayer

Dear Jesus, I open the door of my heart to you and receive you as my Lord and Savior.
I believe that you are the Son of God and that You died for my sins. I do agree that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. Thank you for forgiving my sins and making me aware that I am special to You. Take control over my life and make me the person You want me to be. I give my further life to you alone. Amen.

In the beginning of August 2005 Jesus gave me a vision. I could not only see what God was showing me , I could feel it as well. I saw a lot of people raptured into Heaven , and felt someone grabbing me at my waist and immediately, with high speed I was going through the ceiling of my house and into Heaven. At this point of the rapture I thought: "This is unbelievable, I did not touch the ceiling!" In Heaven Jesus spoke to me, I would only stay for three days on earth to warn all the Christians,who would not make the Rapture ! Let me tell you what I experienced soon after I was on earth again:

It was possible for me to hear the trumpet, proclaiming the coming of the Lord, wanting to take His bride to Himself. I was shocked to see how many Christians failed the Rapture, even those pastors that are well known through TV programmes. However, I did not recognize anybody there, which is so much better for me, because no one can ask me: "Did you see me?" It was dark outside, although it was daytime, just image walking through a park at sunset alone and hearing strange voices from all corners, it`s a strange situation. I realized that the Holy Spirit was no longer on earth and this darkness at daytime was the result of it. Every person could see the demons and the people were screaming for fear. After this experience I felt a deep sadness because so many had stayed behind.

The thought that a lot of people wont believe me, made me cry. Due to lack of wisdom , because of lewdness, uncleanness, sorcery, jealousy, outburst of wrath, selfish ambitions, distensions, adultery, fortification, idolatry, hatred, contentions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, rivalries, rejecting of fellow believers and the lack of love they will miss the goal.

According to Galatians 5 ,16-21 Paul was speaking to the Christians. Believers; trust me , hell is real and if we do not let go the above mentioned sins and allow God to cleanse us, if we don`t obey this word , hell is where we will end up.

GOD IS JUDGING AND HERE IS WHY

God is now standing up to judge. He is going to send multiple cataclysmic judgments suddenly and at the same time. Though He sends signs from the heavens and the earth below, earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, winds, heat and cold, though He sends a lack of food and water, pestilence, plagues and wars, though there is political oppression and tyranny the majority of the masses will refuse to repent. They will NOT.

God will extract through the judgments a few souls in repentance. They will be broken and sincere hearts that tremble at God’s Word. But the multitudes will insist upon rolling with the punches. They will band together and fortify insolent opposition to the Almighty God. They reject His call to repent and believe upon Jesus Christ. The harsh steady impudence of humanity will increase with the escalation of God’s fierce judgments. The Spirit of God gives witness that as God’s holy righteous judgments unfold in increasing vehemence, so to will be the hardening of the rebellious hearts of the rebellious peoples. The clash between God and the disobedient will heighten to the point of a literal battle. The scripture prophesies an actual war instigated against God as the deluded Kings of the earth and a religious system repugn the supremacy of the Great King the Almighty. (Psalms 2; Revelation 17:4; 19:19)

Now then, God is judging because He has been provoked to great wrath. He has given Jesus, raised Him from the dead, given the Holy Spirit, the Scripture, faith, grace and repentance. God says, ”What else could I have done?” (Isaiah 5) God is furious that after all that He has done for mankind, He is shamefully treated. For His love, He is offered contempt. He is a great King. Where is His honor? Where is His respect? (Malachi 1)

The Spirit of God bears witness that indeed God has hurled His judgment into the earth. It is inbound. Now, the Spirit of God instructs His watchmen to tell the people why He has done this. Understand this! God is love. But His love has been spurned. He has been PROVOKED. God recorded in the Scripture His dealing with Israel-- His own people. How that after He had delivered them through the Passover, representing Jesus Christ the innocent sacrifice, taken them through the Red Sea, representing submersion into the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, gracious miraculous provisions in the wilderness, again symbolic of Jesus our proficiency, the majority of the masses provoked God to great wrath. Great wrath! To the point that God sought to destroy them and overthrow them in the wilderness. Make no mistake about this. This was written for your warning. You O people were to learn from the erring ways of the ancient forefathers.

Do you think that anyone can commit the same evils as ancient Israel and escape the same judgment? God specifically said in 1Corinthians 10 that His dealing with Israel in the wilderness was written for everyone’s admonition and learning. It is clearly stated, “don’t be ignorant! Read this passage again. Note the sins.

Again, I am telling you WHY God is judging! The children of Israel sinned in the wilderness by lusting after evil things, they were idolaters, they ate and drank and rose up to play, they committed sexual immorality, they purposely tested God, they murmured against God. God has provided liberty from corruption through the death and resurrection of His own Son Jesus. To carelessly and brazenly sin against God is to lie against the truth of God. He will not tolerate it any longer. The cup of iniquity is filling up. The stubborn continue to reject the voice that speaks from heaven. So, this is why God is judging. There is no escape outside of repentance and faithful abiding in Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 12:25)

And I heard another out of the altar say,

Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. Revelation 14:7

Your First 6 Days In HELL!!!!!!

Most vacations include an itinerary. You have an idea what you will see and do before you arrive at your destination. The Bible has enough information to project an itinerary for those whose destination is hell. Let's look at the first 6 days.

DAY 1

The trip originates at the gate of death. Since departures are made daily, you are called upon to begin your trip on short notice. Since the journey is only one way, there is no need to concern yourself with return plans.

Your initial point of departure may prove more than a little frightening, as you suddenly realize the finality of your destination. The trip itself will leave you with little time to contemplate what awaits.

As you pass through the doorway of death, you will notice almost immediately that your direction is taking you away from the light toward what appears to be complete and utter darkness. With each passing moment the darkness becomes more intense. At first the absence of light is only annoying, but you feel it becoming more ominous and threatening.

The intensity of the darkness is only matched by the absence of any joyful sounds-no music, no laughter, no sounds of merriment. As you move farther, faint sounds of moaning and wailing become detectable. They seem to be coming through the darkness from every direction. You become aware of a faint light. it flickers like a flame, yet thick clouds of black smoke dance all around it, keeping the flame from casting off any real hope of light.

Suddenly you find yourself obsessed to know what day and hour it is. Already it feels like you've been here for an eternity ... and it's only Day 1.

DAY 2

The continuing darkness is stifling. It's as if something is lurking in the veil of night that surrounds you. You yell, you threaten, you even plead, but to no avail. Whatever it is just stays there, producing fear like you've never known before.

As your eyes struggle to adjust to the dark, you become aware of a new sensation. The heat. It's right at the edge of unbearable. Hot, searing, intolerable heat. Your body craves water. You'd give anything for a drink, and you try unsuccessfully to push that desire out of your mind.

The air is thick, choking, miserable ... and it's just Day 2.

DAY 3

At least you think it's Day 3. It seems like it has already been forever. You've not been able to sleep.

You still can't believe you're here. Where are the friends you thought you would see? The knowledge that they would be here too had brought you some comfort in your lifetime. Where is the fun you thought you would have? Hell isn't at all like what you were led to believe.

You stumble upon a group of others. You pour out a litany of questions. As they open their mouths, no words come out ... only the sounds of weeping and wailing. Some in the group don't even try to respond. They gnash their teeth, as if in some invisible pain.

You wonder when this nightmare will end. You wonder why somebody can't make it stop ... and it's only Day 3.

DAY 4

How you wish you could send a message to those you left behind. You'd warn them about this place. You'd tell them what it's really like in hell, so they'd never come. The thought of your loved ones coming to a place like this is unbearable. You can't help but think back upon that day when you made your decision to come here. You understood that your rejection of Jesus meant that you would spend eternity in hell but it didn't seem real or important then.

Looking back, you think how foolish you were to reject God's offer of salvation. You wish you could choose again.

You find yourself hoping that your loved ones will choose differently, even though you realize such a choice means you'll never see them again ... never touch them ... never speak to them. What a horrible realization ... and it's only Day 4.

DAY 5

You've become acutely aware of the absence of any good in this place. There's no love, for God is love. There's no joy or peace or goodness, because all of these come from God too. There's nothing sacred, nothing holy, nothing of God anywhere to be found. You're amazed at how evil evil can be.

For the first time since your arrival, you begin to sense the great gulf that is fixed between where you are and where God is. The span is beyond your comprehension as you try to realize the degree of distance that will separate you from God and those who chose to serve Him. God is on the other side of that gulf. Loved ones in Christ are on the other side of that gulf. What a lonely realization ... and it's only Day 5.

DAY 6

Through the darkness you saw a new face today. A new arrival. He stopped to speak with you. You could see the terror in his eyes. He asked questions that you had been asking only days before. You opened your mouth to reply, but all that would come out was the sound of weeping and wailing.

You've just spent your first 6 days in hell. Unfortunately, an unholy, unhappy eternity stretches out before you ... and all because you rejected Jesus. if only...

But wait. The fact you're reading this says you still have a chance. In His mercy, God is giving you an opportunity right now to change your eternal itinerary. "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

Oh, friend, do it now ... before it's too late.
