THE GATES OF HELL

I believe that the Lord won’t be totally happy and satisfied until all of his creation is restored and living as he wants it to be and originally intended to be even before the devil sinned and rebelled against God. “by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” (1Peter 3:19). “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9). God is not slack even if it takes thousands of years for some to be in Hell. And some might have to be destroyed as if they never existed. “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). “But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;” (2 Peter 2:12). I don’t think I would be happy in Heaven for a long time knowing that Jesus wasn’t totally happy and he wanted to invade Hell with his followers to give them another and another chance. The picture Jesus described to us is found in (Matthew 16:18b) “and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Jesus took his disciples to Caesarea Philippi. This was a place where the Jews did not like to go. It was called the Gates of Hell because there were a lot ungodly Temples there such as a Temple to the God Pan a Greek God of sexual perversions, who was half goat and half man, and there were other Greek and Roman Temples to their other Gods. This is the place where Jesus asked his disciples who they said he was, and Peter said , You are the Christ, The Messiah, The Son of The Living God. Jesus said that upon what Peter replied was the Rock that Jesus would build his Church upon and that The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against his ATTACKING CHURCH. This is not a picture of his Church hiding behind and inside of some buildings. “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” ( Luke 9:23-24). When we get to Heaven there will be a lot of JOY unspeakable and full of GLORY, but the work has just begun with a new body that never gets tired, sick, or dies. We won’t be just floating around on a cloud strumming a Harp all day. There will be exciting missions to go on, and a lot of witnessing to the people who died without ever having a chance to have a true Christian witness and have the opportunity to be saved. Let’s start reaching the un-reached now instead of just preaching to the Choir! Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice when some have never heard it once.

COME ON AND JOIN THE BATTLE IT IS NOW RAGEING !! TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS !!

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
