Heaven or Hell

As I listened to Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath earlier, it really hit me that literally every person on this earth is going somewhere after this life. I’ve always known this, but it really smacked me in the face today. Every person I’ve ever come across, my mom, my dad, my friends, my friend’s mom and dad, my doctor, my teachers, the crossing guards, everyone you see on t.v., ect. Many of those celebrities have it all, but if they don’t have Christ, what do they really have? They have all these worldly things, but nothing waiting for them after this life other than a pit of fire. We think we have the rest of our lives to go out and witness, but we aren’t even promised a tomorrow. We hear that so much, but if you think about it, and really let that sink in, you realize we don’t have much time at all. 7 billion people, all going to Heaven or Hell. We have to reach them as soon as we get an opportunity to, because they aren’t promised a tomorrow either. It’s time to get out of our comfortable shells and go out of our comfort zone to lead someone to Jesus. Nothing in this life will matter if it isn’t about loving God and the people He has made. Not now, or ever.  It’s pretty awesome to know theres a Kingdom waiting for us all. It’s even greater to know theres a God waiting to welcome us, and pour out His love as we enter. We don’t want people to miss out on that, it’s hard to wrap my mind around people burning in Hell for an eternity because someone didn’t make sure they heard the gospel. If someone doesn’t choose Jesus, then we pray for them. That is our duty, we’re called for this. We must be His hands and feet. We have to love, we have to give, we have to witness. I pray today that we can each lead our communities, our states, our countries, our world, to Christ. That we can all convince people of His love and mercy. I pray that people realize the power of the cross, and choose to accept Jesus as their savior.

 

Thank you, God bless you. Be a witness.

What We’re Here For

Just for a moment, forget my age. Forget my religion. Forget my race, the country I come from. Forget what I’ve done in the past, and forget what you’ve done as well.

Just last night I prayed that God would speak to me, and I prayed I’d have the courage to really stand up and be all I’m called to be. I didn’t care how He did it, I prayed that He’d do whatever it took to get to me. I asked that when He spoke to me, I was sure of what He was telling me. I was at a stand still, where I wasn’t really sure what I was doing here on earth. To be honest, all I had prayed lately was that God would just help me pass time. Pass time? What was I thinking? How do I know that I even have a tomorrow?

I was in the car tonight, and all of a sudden, I just had this wave come over me. I began thinking of what was going on in the world, and how many brave people there are. I thought of Jesus, and how He died on that cross for each of us. I thought of people that die everyday in countries where serving God is illegal. And then, I thought of myself. I realized I can no longer be lukewarm, I’m either in this war, or I’m not. And this “war”, between God and Satan, has already been won. I can continue to fight for God and continue leading His people to Him, or I can stand here in this broken world and do what makes me most comfortable. I can be a flame, or I can be a fire.

I sat there with this over whelming feeling to move. God was telling me I can’t be okay with this broken society, and my purpose here is to stand up for Jesus, and for the cross, and for all the people that need Christ in their lives. I thought, “But what will my family think of me now? If I ‘move’, what will everyone think?” And God just gave me peace. He’s telling me, “So what? Is it worth someone else spending an eternity in Hell for? Is you getting judged worth another person not knowing Jesus?” He spoke to me like I asked Him to, and He gave me the courage to really move.

We pray so often that God will bring change to the world, and that He’ll do something. But He did. He brought you and I, and everybody else, to bring change, and to make a difference. Maybe that sounds cliché, but I’m telling you, He’s counting on us as well. Don’t let someone look down on you because of your age. You can be ten, you can be eighty, but you can impact somebody, somewhere. 1 Tim 4:12 tells us, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.” If not now, then when? God is going to do something big. I don’t know what, and I don’t know at what time that will be. But, I know for sure that He’s telling me to share it with you guys. I don’t ever ask this, but please share this, reblog it, tweet it, Facebook it, text the link to a friend, whatever you can do to share it. I know God can use this in someone else’s life as well. This is your chance to be that change I mentioned, God needs another mover.

I know now, I’m on this never ending journey to reach every soul I can.
