Date: September 30, 2012 ENTERING THE ROYAL GATE

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them and I will praise the Lord. This gate of the Lord into which the righteous shall enter. Psalm 118:19-20 How about being led to the massive, and glorious gate of heaven with its absolute splendor and magnificence, guarded by two tall & massive angels in glistening robes and swords in hand. Their hair woven like spun gold and their faces gleaming with light. What happens when you are still standing in front of this gate in nervous excitement and a small book with a golden cover is brought out from the Records Hall by another angel to quickly apprise himself about your life history before being allowed in. When you are eventually brought into heaven with an angelic welcome smile, then you step into a terrain completely saturated by music and love in stronger waves after waves penetrating your entire being with such an electrifying melody and rhythm that continues irresistibly to inflame all the organs within your body with intoxication of angelic joy and utmost sweetness. The blasting trumpet also flaming out intensely perfumed incense that is rising high to the Throne of Glory. The amazing and most beautiful greenery, vegetation, and flowers adoring the landscape which also seem to be reverberating the rhythm of the music with affectionate candor. As the songs of praise unto the Majesty sitting on the Throne of glory continues to swirl around you and the dazzling glory of the indescribable environment of perfection continues the process of transformation on you, would you ever wish to return to this world of emptiness and sorrow again? Will you really make it , but not with anger, bitterness, hatred, pride etc Have you been taken to the Room of records where scrolls of all worship services held in each church in the world are meticulously kept by angels of records. If the scroll of your church is opened, what will your attendance look like, and what will your state of mind and behavior during each service look like? Have you been given the opportunity to see those who have already made it through the gate the citizens of heaven? 8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy

and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

These exuberant citizens are dressed in robes that are glassy, glittering, and dazzling as if the cloth used is made of glass. Their bodies also are looking gloriously glossy with no mark or scar anywhere, all looking exceedingly beautiful, handsome, radiant, and glowing with profound happiness. They all looked as if in their 30. "10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels." Isa 61:10. Are you also aware that Gods angels keep records of the money and offerings that are given in church services, and to the destitute, the poor, the naked, the orphans, etcalong with a record of the attitudes with which people contribute? Were you advised by the angels of records that your account in heaven reflects your worth and determines your heavenly possessions while your earthly account reflects your worthlessness? Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourself bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that failed notfor where your treasure is, there will your heart be also Luke 12:33. My assigned escort took me to a number of houses where citizens of heaven reside. Some in captivating mansions built with Safire, diamond and other precious stones on well landscaped reservation areas while some are allocated flats or single rooms in multi-occupiers buildings. It is evident that the type of building, blessing and nobility accorded to you in heavens depend on the degree of your love and measure of your charity while on earth. God is not a respecter of any individual. You will receive according to your spiritual sowing while on earth. " 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour." 2 Tim 2:20. Have you been shown the storehouse of heaven a long, seemingly endless wall which seemed to be made of platinum. Did the store-keeping angel in charge talk to you about the contents? The angel said the rooms contain blessings that are stored up for Gods people. Perfect purity, fullness of Joy, total freedom and deliverance, perfect wholeness from illness, complete fulfillment, wealth, serene peace and divine love are all attributes of heaven which the Lord Jesus wants his own to enjoy, even when they are still on earth. The angel continued, Child as far as you can see, these are supply rooms. The blessings here await the belief of those on earth belief that I am the Lord Jesus Christ, and that I am able to do these things, serve me, obey me, and receive my gifts. " 17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures." Proverb 8:17-21.

" 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee." Psalm 84: 11-12.

What about the room of excellence, containing crowns, clusters of stars, diamond and precious stones that the world had never seen? The keeper of this Treasury explained that these are reserved to decorate and adore those who have converted souls to Christ those whose lives were drenched in Charity, pure love, patience, faith, and sacrificial service to God and fellow human.

The tour of heavens continues but a brief detour to hell exposed a dreadful horror, strong stench and most despicable and repugnant sight. Cages in their billions, one cage/cell per person, bodies in shreds, falling off, eyes reduced to sockets with worms and maggots oozing out of eye sockets, noise and mouth, fire bellowing unquenchably from beneath and all sides of the cell burning the bodies forever screams and bitter cries of excruciating torments, pains, lamentation & ruthless agony and demonic torture everywhere. Indeed a most gruesome and horrifying experience: abode for sinners those who reject God and his son Jesus Christ Workers of adultery, fornication, idolatry, lying, stealing, homosexuality, covetousness, exploiters and all those who refuse to worship God and obey His laws. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Or is it adversity that will remove you from God to Hell? Adversities are three in nature: Self-inflicted: When you recklessly indulge in commitments, or lifestyles that are beyond your means, outside of the law or outside of Gods plan for you. It is your personal creation and you must be ready to pay the price of your recklessness and repent out of your irresponsibility and indiscipline. God cannot help unless you help yourself. Back up! Do it right! Straighten yourself and your way, and it will be well. "13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. ." James 1:13-16. Adversity may also come in form of punishment for your sin. God will normally punish, to teach us to fear him, hate evil, and walk in obedience to him. God's hand of affliction on us may be severe to secure our attention. If you're are not punished then the sin will rob you of your blessing, opportunities or even your eternity in glory. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as son My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. 7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?" (Heb. 12: 5-6) The third form of adversity happens when God allows Satan to inflict you with trial and tribulation to test your faith in Christ. " 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God." says Apostle Peter in Acts 14:21-22. Your response under the three types of adversity is crucial. The positive response is to remain strong and more determined in faith, serving God , violently praying and richer in Charity. You will be out of the adversity sooner than expected. But if you resign yourself into despair, lethargic worship, complain, and sin you will remain long in the problem and you may also lose your inheritance.
