Report Article
In biblical times, the people challenged the truth of Jesus and His purpose on earth although He and His kingdom were spoken of throughout the Holy Scrolls, which we know of as the Old Testament. Today, we have the Bible that includes the Old Testament as well as the new covenant that was put in place by Jesus. Yet, the challenge against God’s truth has spread like a disease.
Today, unspeakable abominable acts of disobedience against God, His Word, and His truth, seem to be taking victory laps around the world both in and outside the church. Just recently, a story about a boy going to heaven –that was published by a Christian publishing company and then made into a movie -- has now been exposed as a deliberate invention and trick. I can only imagine the heartache – truly – of the publishing house.
SATAN IS ON HIS JOB ON ALL LEVELS!
Since the disclosure of the lie, it has taken a few days to wrap my thoughts around the fact that a family used their child to create a false story about Jesus and heaven. Per the online comments, this story has non-believers almost in a foaming-at-the-mouth frenzy as they rant and rave about the ‘lies’ of the book and that they ‘knew’ that the Bible was false. On the other hand, the full extent of the people that this fabricated story may have harmed may never be known. If not for my trust in God and faith in His Son, our Lord and Savior, AND my knowledge of God through daily study of His Word, I would be angry.
Nevertheless, believers, Jesus said the victory is won.
1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.
In other words, regardless of Satan’s antics, the victory against Satan is done, so said Jesus on the cross. Satan COULD NOT sway Jesus during His ministry on earth. So must we—true believers-- NOT BE MOVED. Yes, Satan will always challenge the faith of the true followers of Jesus Christ. Regardless, we are standing on an unmovable and unchanged Rock—Jesus.
As for heaven, HEAVEN IS REAL. I am one of many—I believe—that has been blessed to be shown heaven in the end times. Why? We are to encourage the true believers of Jesus Christ as well as to confirm the truth of God’s word, for such a time as this.
GOD’S WORD IS UNCHANGED BECAUSE ‘HE’ IS UNCHANGED.
EVERYTHING that Jesus promised about heaven is true. Over the years since the revelation, I have been vainly trying to find words that describe what happened. In that place with Jesus, I was allowed to literally feel and experience an overwhelming infusion of a joy and wholeness that mere human words cannot possibly describe. BUT, the knowledge from that experience remains solid. Just as Jesus promised in Revelation 21:4, there were no more tears nor sorrow, but a peace that surpassed anything we [as humans] can imagine. Thus, it behooves believers to strive to hear and obey Jesus as our Shepherd.
Of course, Satan wants to discredit this truth. Why? If heaven is not real, and if the Bible is not true, then neither is the Lake of Fire that he and all of his people, as well as false teachers, will be thrown into. Therefore, through disbelief, he can gain more followers TO GO WITH HIM.
The scriptures are under attack because they testify of Jesus, John 5: 39. Let those who have the testimony of Jesus SAY SO.
