DIRECTIONS TO HEAVEN


First of all, WHOEVER will
Must make a U-turn on the
"Road of Repentance."
Then make a Right onto
"Believe Blvd."

Keep Straight and go through
The Green Light which is Jesus Christ.
From there, you must turn
Onto the "Bridge of Faith,"
which often goes over troubled waters.
When you get across the bridge, make a
Right turn and you will be
on the "King's Highway"-
Heaven-bound.

Keep going for three miles:
One for the Father, One for the Son,
and One for the Holy Ghost.
Then exit off onto "Grace Blvd."
From there, make a Right turn on
"Good News Lane."
Keep Straight and then
Make another RIGHT on
"Prayer Blvd."

As you go on your way,
Yield not to the traffic on
"Temptation Ave."
Also, avoid Sin Street
Because it is a
Dead End;
It will take you nowhere
That you want to go,

Be sure to take a stop at
the "Rest" area
on "Easy" Avenue.
Leave all your excess weights there.

From there, make another Right onto
"Peace Street."
When you get to "Joy Blvd."
(That is the scenic route),
Keep Straight
And you will come to the parking lot of
"Immortality."
It's all right to park there.
Go into the building
Not made by hands.
Sit down and talk to KING JESUS.
Tell Him how happy you are
to be with Him
and dwell in His House
FOREVER!




God promises His protection to those who closely follow Him.
In Psalm 91: 1
God promises,
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
The Hebrew word used for "dwell"
literally means "in quiet and resting;
enduring and remaining with consistency."
The phrase "shall abide" literally means "to stay overnight,"
much like someone being offered
the protection and comfort of home.

When we follow this condition, we are promised angelic protection:
"For He shall give His angels charge over you,
to keep you in all your ways"
Psalm 91:1 1
For our part, we are to stay as close to Jesus as possible.
To "abide under the shadow of the Almighty"
would indicate extreme closeness.
Have you ever tried to walk in someone's shadow?
You have to stay very close.

Now that you know Him, trust Him.
You don't have to conjure up angels or say
mantras to get them to come to your aid.
God has promised the angels will be there
when we trust in Him.
If we serve Him, God will Bless us.
Therefore:
Do Not worship the angels.
Worship God.
His Promises are faithful and true.
He will never forsake us.


The Only Way Out

I was walking alone on a long, dust road.
The sun shone bright in front of me.
I didn't bother to ask for directions.
I knew where I was going.

I came to a fork in the road that was unsuspected.
The two separate roads were unmarked,
leaving me wondering.
An old gentleman walking down the road to my
left asked me if I needed directions.
I told him I was just fine, thank you and
headed down the road to my right.
I knew where I was going.

I came to a silent stream.
I was captivated by the seemingly peaceful water.
I waded across the river only to find myself
lost in the forest among the thorns.
I couldn't turn back; the peaceful stream
was now a raging river.
I began to wander in the forest.
I THOUGHT I knew where I was going.

Suddenly, forest came to an abrupt halt.
There was a large cliff in front of me.
I didn't know where to turn.
The forest led to darkness; the cliff led to sudden death.
I fell to my knees sobbing.
I didn't know where I was going.
I was hopelessly lost.

In my condition, I did not realize the
scenery around me was changing.
The cliff was now changing into a hill.
The thorns in the forest were transforming
themselves into a crude crown.
The trees in the forest were changing into a cruel cross.
The raging river was becoming a dirt road
that led to the cross on the hill.

I looked up in sadness as I watched an
abused man start up the hill;
the cross on his back, the thorns upon his brow.
He took the cross, with blood pouring from his body,
and cleared a path so that I might find a way.
He was, then, nailed to the cross.
He looked straight at me and whispered these sweet words,
"I died so that you will have a way."
