It's God's Will to prosper you and to give you a future. Will you trust Him

Having the Guts to tell people you believe in the God of the Bible. Do you have what it takes to admit your belief. Whether you have the nerve or not. Everyone needs to know what God says. Listen here to a little bit of the Holy Bible. Then Jesus said to them, (Speaking about himself as the Christ) “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise[h] from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission / forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem[i] until you are endued with power from on high.” (THE HOLY BIBLE LUKE 24 VS 46-49) "What does this all mean to us at Stan's Gm. Well it means the one and only true living God has blessed us all with the knowledge of the way of salvation.

Jesus is the only way and by you and I believing we can pray to Jesus asking Him for forgiveness for all our sins. We can acknowledge Jesus Lordship by confessing Jesus as our Lord and in repentance we can live for Him. Once Jesus saves you He will move through your whole family saving one precious person at a time. God's plan is for you to know Him and to experience His love for you first hand and the same goes for every family member. God's plan is to give you a future and to prosper you in all things as you grow in your relationship with Jesus.

Funerals are awful. For many its a time of regret wishing that they had spent more time with their loved one who are now deceased. Generally we hear the minister in charge talking about the things our loved one had done while with us, we often hear a little about each of their close family members, children, mother and father, bothers and sisters. Then the minister eventually gets round to bring some words of comfort concerning the after life. References are made that the loved one has gone to a better place. That they are at rest. That they are in no more pain. These words of comfort are made or something like them to help ease the grieving and to leave everyone with hope of one day seeing them again. Most references come from small sections of the Holy Bible or even in secular funeral services the minister will often still try and bring comfort to the grieving by suggesting some kind of afterlife or continued existence after death.

Some obvious facts: 1) The word heaven originated in the Bible, everything known about heaven and how to get there is also in the Bible. 2) The word hell originated in the Bible, everything known about hell and how to get there is also in the Bible. 3) In short. Hell is a place of torment in darkness where people weep and nash their teeth in pain and despair forever due to their sinful Godless lives on earth. 4) In short. Heaven is a place of eternal happiness blissfully enjoying unlimited energy and health and vitality but most of all God's indescribable peace by His presence. O and don't forget every family member who had repented and called on Jesus to save them whilst they were living on the earth will be in Heaven together forever enjoying everything God is up to for all eternity.

How does a man or a woman go to hell ? Answer = Do nothing but continue to live the same life that they have have always lived because their sin / Law breaking / godlessness already condemns them.
How does a man or a woman go to Heaven ? Believe the Bible is the Word of God. Believe God became human and as a man died in your place paying for your sins by His death on the Cross at Calvary. Believe Jesus in sinless ness physically arose from the dead to fulfil the Holy Scriptures in the Bible. Turn in repentance to ask Jesus for forgiveness and call on Jesus to save you. Give your whole life to Jesus and you will be saved by God's grace through your faith in Christ. God will come into your life and you will become a new creation known as being born again of the Holy Spirit. You will be saved be the blood of Jesus and on your way to Heaven to meet up with all who have gone before you who had done the same thing in their life here on earth by turning to Jesus before their physical death.

Tragically in truth there are billions in hell right now in immense suffering wishing that they could warn their loved ones still alive on earth. Jesus spoke of one such man in the book of Luke. The man wanted to warn his brothers so that they would not end up in hell with him. Jesus said that he could not reach them and that they were to believe in the prophets in the Holy Bible.

The fact is. Most ministers in charge at a funeral will not tell you all this at the time in case it upsets already grieving members of the family. The time to believe in Jesus and to turn to God is before you die. You can then tell others in your family so that they also may have faith in Jesus and also turn to God. You are responsible for the welfare of your family like I am mine. If we act like God's not real and end up in hell its our fault. Those of us who have children influence them tremendously. If we act like God is rubbish then we lead our children into judgment and the fires of hell. Who would do that ?

Idols and statues: Did you know that all Idols and statues of Jesus are forbidden in the Law of God. Peoples faith can be misplaced looking in the wrong direction even in a Church. Kissing and praying to statues or bowing to them may make the person look devout but God calls it the sin of idolatry. The true way is this. We worship God who we can not see. We worship God through Jesus Christ in spirit and truth for these are the worshipers He seeks.

Billions all over the world do not know the way to Heaven but amongst others the almighty has revealed the way to you and me. We are to each acknowledge that we have all broken God's Laws. Simply put. You or I can not go to Heaven unless we have asked Jesus to forgive us all our sins. We each need to acknowledge the ultimate authority of God in our lives and therefore submit to Jesus Christ as our Lord and trust Him as our savior. Only then will any of us be welcomed into the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately for us who refuse to accept God's plan of salvation we remain un forgiven and still on the road to Judgment and eternal punishment in the lake of fire. The Good News is as said before that Jesus who had no sin came to pay for all our sins on the cross at Calvary. By dying in our place Jesus paid in full for all our sins so that we no longer have to pay. Because Jesus had been almighty God in human flesh and therefore sinless Jesus didn't stay dead but rose again to life on the third day.

If you are obedient to God you will believe. Your faith will cause you to turn to Jesus asking for forgiveness surrendering your life to Him. Jesus said in John 3 vs 1-7. "No-one can see or enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again". In giving up your life to Jesus to serve God you will receive a brand new life in the truest sense. Born again of the Holy Spirit of God. You will be a new creation forgiven of all your sins to begin an eternal relationship with the God who loves you and made you. Deep down you believe so don't harden your heart like the writer did for so many wasted years. Turn to God now while you are able.
