1.) Have you found yourself thinking you’re not really a good enough person to go to heaven?
You’re not alone, in fact, statistics say that everyone, 100 out of 100 people surveyed by God, has fallen short of the glory of God.
“All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.“ Romans 3:23
The Bible is a holy, prophetic, deeply poetic, lifeline for heaven and earth. For heaven, because I believe that heaven aligns with what the Bible says. It is the only true source. For earth, because we need heavenly, Godly, Divine guidance in this world.
2.) Sin has a consequence.
“The wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23
3.) There is a solution, an answer.
“The free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus.” Romans 6:23
4) Abide in the vine.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He trims so that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot itself produce fruit, unless it abides on the vine. Likewise, you cannot produce fruit unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing." John 15:1-5
I very much appreciate how the Bible is deeply poetic. It speaks to my difficult heart. To abide in the vine, simply means …
Stay close to Jesus.
You may find that, as you stay close to Jesus, you'll begin to dream dreams of significance in various realms. As you draw close to Him, you will begin to gain a better understanding of who God made you to be.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I come to You because You specifically and graciously drew me to Yourself. My heart belongs to You and You have the keys. Please help me open my heart to You, to receive what You would give to me and to offer back what You desire from me. Yours is the Kingdom, Power, and Glory, so please cause me to follow You. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Please read the bible often, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal what He wants to reveal to you. Get close to other people who are following Jesus. Pray every time you get the chance. Wait on God when you feel unsure or afraid. Ask Jesus for courage.
My prayer: Thank You, Father, for choosing to show Yourself to my friend. Please continually draw them close to You. In Jesus Name, Amen.
