Heaven or Hell? Which one do you choose

She was a pretty girl who heard the gospel preached about the return of Jesus Christ to take His redeemed home (Rapture) and the "Great tribulation" that follows in which there would be the manifestation of the wicked anti-christ and his deadly mark "666" that would be given to sinners on earth. But her beauty and material acquisition so staggered her mentality that she felt unconcerned to the word of God preached to her. 

Then it happened, one night, she saw herself in a usual so-called lifestyle, all of a sudden it was heard that the rapture had taken place, before she could realize what was happening, the atmosphere changed, media started giving out their report on missing personalities in the world. Thus, she started running down to the church. On getting there, she could only see confused and abandoned people like herself without solution to the plight they were in. She ran out of the church tirelessly until her strength got exhausted, yet no place to hide. At that point, she saw strange persons whose appearance she could not discern, but who, seizing her hands, said in a voice accustomed to command:
"You must go with us" "And who are you - where are you taking me - where am I going?" She exclaimed in despair. "That you will see by-and-by" replied those voices. "Why didn't you join the raptured saints?" 

They angrily questioned. At that point she started crying bitterly in regrets as she recalled those great privileges of receiving Christ that had come her way but were despised. Then she struggled to disengage her hands from the intruder's grasp, suddenly she woke up with a shout "NO-O-O!" As soon as she realized that it was a dream, she resolved totally and forever to serve Jesus Christ. 

My friend, although this is but a dream, it is nevertheless a well- authenticated fact. And God, who spoke by it to the young girl, now speaks to you. The dream is terrible yet not half so terrible as the reality. No dream can picture the full, long misery of missing the "rapture", nor the woe of receiving the mark of the beast, "666" and the danger of being in the eternal HELL of torment.

Do you think that God is joking when He says "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and is stress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will
bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD".
(Zephaniah 1:14-17). Dear reader, how many times have you had such a great opportunity of blatantly refused?

Remember a day is coming when you will feel like bringing back those wasted and neglected moments of Grace as this, but then, it must have been too late. Thus, "How shall we escape if we neglect and refuse to pay attention to such a great salvation that was declared by the Lord Jesus himself" (Heb 2:3a)AMP. Why must you be left out to be tormented by the wicked anti-christ when you should have joined the raptured Saints in sharing the joy of eternity with Christ. Be aware of this. Jesus Christ paid the price of your salvation with his own blood just to reconcile you back to God, no matter how sinful and wretched you have been! For this great reason, you are not supposed to miss the GREAT RAPTURE of God's redeemed; only to be left tormented by the anti-Christ afterward face the eternal damnation in HELL FIRE. 

Friend, why not received this FREE OFFER of God's salvation given to you today even on your doorstep. The Bible says "Today, if you hear his voice (Jesus' voice calling you) do harden not your heart..." (Heb 3:15) 

Are you ready to receive him (Jesus Christ) into your life right at this minute of the day? You'd better do it now LEST it be too late when tears will flow. "HAD I KNOWN...." If you are ready, say this simple prayer of faith: Lord Jesus! I come unto you today, I am a sinner, I know you died for me, forgive my sins, Come into my life as from this day I confess you Jesus Christ as my Lord, I believe on you with my whole heart. thank you for saving me! 

Hell; the place of torment!

MOST UGLY MUSIC EVER!!! (A must read PLEASE) This is the most UGLY and frightening song you will  ever hear! In a vision, I saw a naked man covered in flaming worms that cannot Die! He turned to me and heaved a deep sigh as flames surrounded him and he sung this song in an emotionless voice! A voice that held NO emotion only the pain and torment he was in! Here are a few lyrics from the song: Flaming worms crawl in, laming worms crawl out in the belly button and out the mouth! In the front and out the rear! In the eyes and out the ears! 

We cream for mercy yet NO one cares or hears! Red hot pain in my blood rivers of feces, lava, vomit and blood it looks like a flood! Flames everywhere yet they cast NO light! All I have is every kind of pain, terror, torture and fright! I am a Citizen in HELL! This is the first level of HELL the other levels there are NO words to tell! Hell is so hot it boils the flesh off my skin how do I describe the HELLISH pain I'm in! I'm so thirsty yet I 've not even urine or tears to drink! And OH my GOD how this HELL stinks! AHHHH, I am a Citizen in HELL! There's NO water of any kind not even sweat to cool my brow, I know from Hell I will never be set free and demons curse and mock me! I scream to God to help me! Yet He does NOT hear! Instead the voice of Satan laughs and jeers! HaAa!

There's NO GOD and there's NO mercy here! I have torture, terror, and Damnation and every kind of FEAR!
But there's NO GOD HERE! Hahaha!" I am reminded how God in his mercy gave JESUS, His Only Son to suffer
crucifixion for my sins and on a cross he hung! Just so from HELL I would be free and Satan would have no
claim on me! But I refused JESUS blood to cover my sins. I wanted to live my own life so I denied Him! I know I have no one to blame now forever I 'll live in Satan's evil domain with every kind of torture and shame! Wanting to die but forgetting there is no death, thinking it will be better tomorrow but forgetting I have FOREVER left! 

This is what its like to be a CITIZEN IN HELL!!! Where the Horror is so gruesome! NO tongue can tell!  Everyone who is coming here will have to dig to their own level before they die! And that is how deep your sins are piled up high! But beware the greatest of all sins is the REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST! One torture room to the next what seems like your worst nightmare is ONLY satan at his BEST! This is what its like to be a CITIZEN IN HELL!!!!! - Sherrie Elijah Flaming WORMS that looked like Snakes! were crawling in and OUT of EVERY OPENING OF HIS BODY! His EYES, EARS,NOSE, FRONT, REAR, I repeat EVERY OPENING! without getting graphically gross here! The screams yet echo in my mind as I am writing this down! The rich man in the bible who went to HELL told God if he would just send a man back from HELL to warn others his brothers of the torment in Hell they would not want to come there, they would live differently! But God said even if he sent someone back from HELL, few would listen and take the warning seriously! Few would believe! In this end time how many has the LORD allowed to see Heaven and Hell to be brought back to life to tell of the Horror!

So many people die everything, and majority are trooping in to hell. Your friends and family members who died without Christ, or who lived sinful and worldly Christian life, are singing the same ugly songs in hell now; you will never see them again if only you also do not go to hell. If you are reading this article before the Rapture, it means you have the chance and choice to make in order to avoid hell, but it all depends on you. Jesus only is the way to save from going to hell; if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, you urgently need to do that now. If you claim to be a Christian but still living in sin, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus before it is too late. And if you have dedicated your life to Jesus, but living a worldly life of modern Christianity, hiding your sins, rising and falling into sin or ignoring to do necessary restitution, then you are also at the danger of hell. Until you surrender all to Jesus Christ, ALL! Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now and start a new life?
The repent! Confess all your sins, ready to forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you.

What the bible teaches about the world and the Church Part 1

   TEXT: EPH. 5:1-21

A. CHURCH                                                          

The word “church” is used in the New Testament to refer to the people of God who have obeyed the gospel by immersion into the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. In the New Testament the word “church” is used primarily to God’s people who have been called out (Greek : ecclesia) of the world. The church is God’s special holy nation of redeemed people whose citizenship is in heaven (Acts 20:28; Ph. 3:20-21; Tit.2:14; 1Pt. 1:18-19; 2:9). The church is made up of those on earth who have submitted to the reign of Jesus from heaven. The church is composed of those in whose hearts Jesus now reigns (Lk.17:20-21). Wherever the will of God is done on earth in the hearts of men as it is done in heaven (Mt.6:10), then the church exists. As a body filled with the Spirit of God (1Cor.6:19), the church is a vibrant community in this world to accomplish the work of God to bring men into eternity through obedience to the gospel.   

B. WORLD

World in the New Testament sometimes means what it means in the Old Testament, namely, this earth, the good natural order that God created. Usually, however, it means mankind as a whole, now fallen into sin and moral disorder and become radically anti-God and evil. Occasionally, the two senses seem to blend, so that statements about the world carry the complex touch of perverse people incurring guilt and shame by their misuse of created things.

C. THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD

Christians are sent into the world by their Lord (John 17:18) to witness to it about God’s Christ and his kingdom (Matt. 24:14; cf. Rom. 10:18; Col. 1:6,23) and to serve its needs. But they are to do so without falling victim to its materialism (Matt.6:19-24,32), its unconcern about God and the next life (Luke 12:13-21), and its prideful pursuit of pleasure, profit, and position to the exclusion of everything else (1 John 2:15-17). The world is at present Satan’s kingdom (John 14:30; 2Cor.4:4; 1John 5:19; cf. Luke 4:5-7), and the outlook and mind-set of human societies reflect more of the pride seen in Satan than the humility seen in Christ.

Christians, like Christ, are to emphasize with people’s anxieties and needs in order to serve them and communicate with them effectively. They are to do so, however, on a basis of motivational detachment from this world, through which they are momentarily passing as they travel home to God and in which their single-minded purpose must be to please God (Col. 1:9-12; 1Pet. 2:11)

Discuss: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Also discuss 1 John 2:15-17

MEMORY VERSE: Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you (1 John 2:15 NLT).

The Final Great Awakening

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE — The Final Judgment of the Unsaved.

We read these interesting words in ‪Revelation 20:14, 
“And DEATH AND HELL were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”

How can Hell be cast into the Lake of Fire? How can death be cast into the Lake of Fire? There are two different Greek words used here. The Lake of Fire is the Greek word Gahanna. The word “hell” in #Revelation 21:14 is the Greek word Hades. So we learn from the Bible that Hades will be cast into Gahanna. Hades is a temporary place, but Gahanna will be the eternal home of the damned.

Hell is a jail where the unsaved await trial and sentencing before being cast into the prison of the Lake of Fire. Please understand that if you are not a Believer—you are already condemned! ... “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (‪#‎John 3:18)

Death is man’s great enemy! All the wealth, fame and worldly enjoyments a person may experience in this lifetime CANNOT go with them beyond the grave. Once you're dead, it’s over! It’ll be too late to live for God when your six-feet-under.

Death means SEPARATION. The first death is the SEPARATION of body from soul and spirit. This is true of the saved and of the unsaved because we must ALL experience the first death. Only the unsaved must experience the second death. If you’re a Believer, you will receive your resurrected incorruptible body at the Rapture (before the Tribulation Period); If you're NOT a Believer, then your body will be resurrected after the Millennium to stand before God at The Great White Throne of Judgment. “And the sea gave up THE DEAD which were in it; and death and hell delivered up THE DEAD which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works” (#Revelation 20:13)

There will be a reuniting of the body, soul and spirit at The Great White Throne of Judgment. Body, soul and spirit will all be cast into the Lake of Fire.

The Bible makes reference to the body being destroyed in Hell... “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy BOTH SOUL AND BODY in hell” (‪Matthew 10:28). Those in Hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire. The second death is a SEPARATION of your body, soul and spirit from God for ALL ETERNITY! How sad. If man will not accept the gift of eternal life from God, then he will receive the only other alternative—eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire. God never created mankind to be put in such a horrible place, but there is no other place for him. Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. I take it that this is a place where God never goes. The second death means eternal and absolute separation from God.
