“You Are Going to Hell!”

Down through the ages, preachers, evangelists and Sunday School teachers have pointed their finger, turned red in the face and screamed at the top of the lungs, this phrase. Long exhaustive stories with the most dramatic emphasis have been given about those who have found themselves in Hell, because they did not listen to the warnings given them prior to their death.
There is no doubt the Word of God is very clear about Hell and how one finds their way there. Hello! Why would you want to go there? Especially if you knew you didn’t have to!

Depending on the translation being used you will find the word Hell, some 31 times. The Hebrew word “sheol” appears 65 times. In the Greek, “hades” in found some 10 places in the New Testament.

Hell is generally defined as the eternal fate of unrepentant sinners after this life. Hell's character is inferred from biblical teaching, which has often been understood literally. Souls are said to pass into hell by God's irrevocable judgment, either immediately after death. Modern theologians generally describe hell as the logical consequence of the soul using its free will to reject the will of God- It is considered compatible with God's justice and mercy because God will not interfere with the soul's free choice.

Even those that do not have a belief in God, Jesus and the Word of God, relate the “bad things” that happen to them, as “hell on earth”. Good versus Evil so to speak. The Truth and The Facts are so simple.

I must tell you though as a young person whose life was an endless stumble after another; it was not going to hell that bothered me, as much as not understanding my life’s circumstances that seem to bounce from one bad experience to another.
The night, over forty years ago, I stood in a Church in downtown Atlanta, surrounded by rejected from everyone I had known, family, friends – not even understanding myself, it was not the phrase “You’re Going to Go To Hell” , but it was the statement – “Choose Whom You Will Serve” – That night, my life would change forever. The journey from that point to this point today, has given me great understanding of the misunderstanding and even the condemnation we as believers have brought to others, by trying to horrific – angry, bulling agendas – not so much to “save their souls” but to control their lives, to add numbers to their roles.
The Facts: According to the Word of God: The Absolute “Higher Truth”
Results from rejecting God, whom by the way “created” you and you die –you will find your soul in Hell. All the amenities given on the front end – are yours – Eternal Torment.

Believing God – Believing The Son of God – Asking The Son of God into your Life - Not only do you do you give up your reservation from Hell, All the amenities given on the front end – are yours – Life – Abundant Life – Eternal Life – are all yours.
The Stumbling Blocks – Ourselves, People and NOT reading and BELIEVING the Word of God and applying what it says.

Twenty Five years ago, I came to a total halt. I had made the choice, I wanted to be a Child of God, but the effort seemed impossible. The Rules, The Regulations, The Do’s, The Don’ts! The Stumbling Blocks were getting bigger not smaller! The Word of God seemed “Greek” to me!!! God was probably like everyone else – saying Reject! Reject!

In the middle of the night, melted in the living room floor, I begged Him to just kill me. Obviously, this was not for me, and I could not meet the “standard”. It was not an audible, but it was a clear, gentle voice – “So you want someone else to raise your daughter?”

“NO!” I said aloud.

“So you want me to take your daughter?”

“NO” I said gagging through my tears.

“Then what do you want?”

“I want you to take everything I have ever learned, been taught, and read about you from a human perspective, and teach me Your Word – give me your Wisdom, Your Knowledge and Your Understanding, I want you to heal me – Mind – Body – Soul –Spirit, to show me His Love and how to live in His Love, and I want you to make me a balanced Woman – a good business woman – a Woman of God – Respected not rejected”.

He from that day forward has been true to His Word. It was not overnight and the lessons have been hard. He has held me firm to the prayers I have prayed. Do I believe that God is real? Yes, Do I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and willingly gave His life for me and all the mess in it? Yes Do I believe the Word of God, The Name of Jesus and The Blood of Jesus – is the greatest Power? Yes.
And I do know that the fact is clear. It doesn’t need to be shouted, or a finger pointed at you, but a clear calm fact. If you do not Believe God, ask His Son Jesus to be a part of your life, and you die – You have sealed your permanent Reservation in Hell. The only person who can make that choice is you.

My journey has been far from smooth, and even today, the testing of my life will put me in the floor – weeping and asking my Abba Father to help me. That is what a “Real Father” does. He dries my tears, gives me understanding and sends me down the path, sharing the truth of the lessons I have learned.

Being a Man or Woman of God is the toughest life you could ever walk. It is not for the faint at heart. For when you make the choice to be adopted into His Family, you become an enemy of the devil himself and all his demons. The War is on! Never fear – The Word of God – Gives us our instructions of how we can live in the midst of those battles, and it is ok to read the end of the Book – We WIN!!!
To look at my life’s journey from a strictly human point of view, the world’s point of view – I look somewhat like a failure, a foolish woman, with strong view points.

If you look at my life’s journey from a strictly religious view point – I look somewhat like a failure, a rebellious woman, who is not an acceptable “Church Lady” and surely I could not be “Right” with God! If you look at my life’s journey from God’s point of view, you will see a woman with an Alabaster Box, so filled with the rare precious perfume, a woman so in love with Her Jesus, she can’t be with Him enough. He has been with me every step of the way, even when I felt He had totally rejected and forgotten me, He is with me. . . . . . . . . I may have been rejected and scorned and left out and had a lot of problems – many of my own making, but every morning, all through the day and every night – I know I have a Father – Abba Father who loves me and cares for me and will be with me every step of my journey!

So I would say to you – Don’t miss Out! He wants to be Your Abba Father too! Make the Reservation for Eternal Life – (Not a Religion or Doctrine). The amenities are the BEST! I would rather be wrong, than to get to the end of my journey to find myself holding the “No Cancellation Reservation to Hell”.
