Following Jesus to Heaven
The way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. We tend to think that the only way to Heaven is through following the behavior that is in the Bible. But Jesus came for those who are sinners most of all. He loves us. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Of course we should. But we should also accept that we may fail, and God Still Loves Us.
Going to Heaven is not about how good we are, but about how good Jesus is! So please, don’t give up. Jesus loves you. There is nothing you, or the world, can do to change that. No matter what we each have done, Jesus’ door is always open; for He will never stop loving us. He will never stop being there for us. Because He loves us. He was crucified for us. And He rose again for us. And He loves us-always. Don’t ever give us-because Jesus won’t…
Prayer
How does one pray? With your whole soul and heart. Prayer is simply a conversation with God. After all to be friends with God, one must spend time with Him :). Just like you do with your friends here on earth. It can be about your good days or your bad. It can be a Thank You or about your own concerns and worries. God loves you. When in doubt, simply ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to pray with you, or for you 🙂
And God will, because He loves you.
And always pray in Jesus’ name. It truly makes a very real difference 🙂
Church
I read a great quote, “the Crucifiction is of God, churches are made by men”. Now I truly love attending Church; it is very uplifting for me. But it is not for everyone. What’s important to know is that Salvation (going to Heaven), is not about Church, it’s about our relationship with Jesus Christ. Is it easier if you go to Church? If you live by the right one, absolutely, but if you don’t, read the Bible yourself, gather with some of your friends, pray. Because it is a relationship 🙂
Don’t Give Up!

“Although your to-do lists and schedules bombard your attention, you do NOT have to allow anything to take priority over God. That IS your choice! Your Father really wants and needs an intimate relationship with you – growing in Him and He in you. He wants to reveal Himself to you, through His Holy Spirit, to show you a glimpse of His Awesome Power – His Change Stirring in you! When His Holy Spirit IS Stirring in you, your steps seem light and burden less – that IS His Promise to you! Does this mean you will have no more trials and tribulations? NO! But it DOES mean that you have Someone to give your burdens to, to receive His Light in the world’s darkness. God’s Word shares with you, “Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I AM the Light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the Light of life.” It DOES mean that God will never leave or forsake you in ALL your struggles! He IS also there in ALL your Joy and Peace! He wants you to Truly Trust Him in ALL things – to surrender your life to Him – to release His Blessings Full to cover you! It IS SO easy to attempt to retain control over portions of your life, that you think you are better qualified to handle! Does that sound familiar? It IS your human nature battling in this spiritual warfare, while on earth. The Truth IS, there IS no One better qualified to help you than Your Creator, the One whom made you in His Image! The One who knows exactly the path that will lead you to Him Eternally – know it IS worth listening to His Voice – and much less grief for sure!
My Friends, hold the fort, Jesus is coming!
From Worthy Devotionals:
“Luke 19:12-13 Therefore He said, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. So he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
During the American Civil War in the 1860’s, a fierce battle took place at Altoona Pass. It was a key supply point for the Union Army, so the Confederate Army led by General Hood sought to take Altoona Pass which held over a million and a half rations. When Union General Sherman realized Hood’s plans, he dispatched General Corse along with 1,500 men to hold the city.
As the battle ensued, General Corse and his forces were forced into a small fort on a crest of a hill. The Northern army was being overwhelmed, with nearly half the men either killed or wounded in the battle. Things were looking extremely bleak, when in the distance from a mountain top twenty miles away a while flag was being waved, and those in the fort knew the message being sent, “Hold the fort; I am coming. W.T. Sherman.”
This sign gave the beleaguered army renewed strength to continue fighting the battle for another three hours until reinforcements finally arrived.
From this battle, a famous Christian song was written and its chorus is so eloquent for us today, “Hold the fort, for I am coming, Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, By thy grace we will!”
My Friends, in the midst of spiritual battles we can often feel besieged on every side — but HOLD THE FORT! Get some rest this weekend and renew your strength in the Lord for the victory is already won — we just need to continue fighting because He is coming!”
Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
