What the devil doesnt want you to know ............

Some years ago now I was praying with two other brothers in Christ. As we pressed into God and the praying became more intense - I was suddenly given a vision. In the vision I am very visably under ground. I can see myself standing on some kind of big ledge. To my left is a naturally made stone bridge - that has a tunnel leading off that goes downwards. Out in front of me - the ledge drops off into a great cavernous chasm. Out of the chasm a giant flame burns. Its huge just like you see out of the top of a volcano. It doesn’t die down - its just permantently there. I couldn’t feel any heat - or hear anything. But I could see the outlines of people in the fire.

Exactly what this was I am not sure - but I know what it looks like ! Many people in the days in which we live ask the question - " how can a loving God send people to hell - where they are tormented for eternity ?" The answer to this question is actually quite straight forward - God doesnt send any one to hell - they actually send themselves there !!

If a person lives a self centred life - only living for them selves - and wants to know nothing of Jesus Christ and what He did for all of us upon the cross - then where will they go when they die ? If they turn away from God at every opportunity in their lives - and live a life far from God - they will spend eternity in just the same place - some where far from God.

What is it that Jesus teaches Himself on this subject :-

As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out His angels and they will weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace where there will be weeping & gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears let him hear.

Matthew 13 verses 40 to 43.

Heaven exists - but so does the " fiery furnace". If you want to spend eternity with God in heaven - then you need to get right with God in this life.
