Salvation

For those of your hearts that have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and eternal savior, my heart would like to share some information about “salvation” and “eternity” my heart shared with my nieces living in South Africa.  These are precious young women who LOVE Jesus.  I have mostly gotten to know their hearts through the e-mail.  I have had the experience to share their joy for living and knowing Jesus.  My heart was led to share the following message with one of my nieces that is going to marry a very AWESOME young man, albeit he is not of the same BELIEF and is not “saved.”

My heart for marrying someone not of the same BELIEF…  even though her new fellow is an "angel," the Bible talks about being "unequally yoked," which is a reference to being with others that DO NOT BELIEVE as we BELIEVE.  While my heart says we can have a WONDERFUL relationship on earth with people who do not BELIEVE as we do, our heart must also look forward to the time that we are not on earth and evaluate this relationship.  Our hearts should then become very sad if we think about not living eternally without these wonderful relationships of our family and/or friends who are not BELIEVERS of our Lord Jesus.

It is then VERY sad if they are not "saved and accepted Jesus for their eternal salvation," because the non-Believers do not go to Heaven.  Also, my heart can see other conflicts that may arise if you marry a non-Believer should they raise children together because the child will need to be taught about Jesus.  Unfortunately, Hinduism (i.e. my daddy was also born a Hindu) is to honor idols and ones own good deeds, which is EXACTLY what Jesus taught against.  The Holy Bible tells us we are saved by “faith” in Jesus and His goodness and not our own “good works” – Amen.

When my daddy, who was born a Hindu, was in his last six months or so of his life here on earth, my son and I were in the beginning of our fellowshipping in our Church Home and learning the ways of our Lord Jesus.  One day I could see that my daddy was "ready to go"... he no longer had a purpose on this earth and his body was failing him... he and my mother spent most of their lives traveling the world and in their senior age were just used to going on local traveling trips with the other senior citizens" – oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…   other than that, daddy was bored of being here... so, my son, who was about ten years old at the time, understood that his grandpa was ready to die… my son told me he just wanted to see Grandpa in "Heaven" – Amen.

I shared this conversation with daddy and started giving him different pieces of scripture from the Holy Bible... one day, while daddy could still talk, we were discussing the "Kingdom of Heaven"... so my daddy says, "but, I am Hindu" (i.e. and he was the MOST non-practicing Hindu you ever met... all I could remember about him being Hindu was the picture of Krishna he had in our house -- oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - even though my father LOVED Indian movies and music from his culture until the day he died)... anyway, the Lord gave my heart this response because my daddy's heart was wondering how could he make it into the "Kingdom of Heaven" being born a Hindu... I said, "daddy, that is the WONDERFUL thing about Jesus -- HE loves Hindus TOO!!!"  oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...  Amen.

You see, because I understand that I am also "born into Hinduism because of my daddy's heritage," which is also a heritage you can only be born into, my heart was led to tell my daddy that “JESUS LOVES HINDUS TOO” – oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… this was such a JOYFUL, WONDERFUL Heavenly revelation for my daddy’s heart to receive – THANK YOU JESUS -- HALLELUJAH!!! 

Through Jesus, you just have to have a BORN-AGAIN heart to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven through accepting our Lord Jesus as your Savior.    The Lord had BLESSED me to live in TWO cultures whereby my mother's culture is American (i.e. African, European and Native American) and my father’s culture is Eastern Indian (i.e. my grandparents are from India, however, my father was born in Durban, South Africa); my heart was transformed so that I could be found by Jesus, which started with my heart reading a chapter in the Holy Bible a day - AMEN!!!

So, we love and LIVE for a loving God that loves ALL people and will accept ANYONE into His Kingdom even in the last micro-mini-seconds of life if we confess Him with our mouth and believe in our hearts that "Jesus is the Son of God who came to earth; was the sacrificed Son of God from our Heavenly Father to conquer death and our sin nature;  and, was crucified, buried, resurrected and ascended to Heaven to be seated at the right hand of our Father" [Romans chapter 10, verses 9 and 10] - AMEN!!!

This confession of our FAITH in the BELIEF of our Lord Jesus as the Son of God, is how we then LIVE here on earth LOVING and SERVING Him... it is more than a lifestyle or outward acts of "good deeds."  Romans chapter 3, verse 23 says, "we are all born of sin and fall short of the Glory of God."  So, you see, there are no "good deeds" or good nature that can SAVE us into eternity… it is only the shed blood of our Lord Jesus and our BELIEF in Him that will get us through this life with hope, faith and love to rule and reign with our Lord Jesus forever – AMEN!!! 

For any of your hearts that are still searching for a meaning and a purpose for your life here on earth, please just start reading the Holy Bible from our Lord Jesus.  The Saint that started my heart reading the Holy Bible just asked me to make a PROMISE to him to “read a chapter in the Holy Bible a day”… he said I could read the SAME chapter over and over… he said I could either read a short chapter or a long chapter a day… he said if I missed reading a chapter a day, to just read TWO chapters the next day… and I did this “disciple discipline” faithfully for “7” years… I continue to read the Word through this day, however, my heart is now reading and writing at the same time – Hallelujah!!!

As a result of reading my Holy Bible every day, my heart was also led to PRAY, thank,  praise and worship all night long to a LOVING and LIVING God in my heart that would transform my HEART and LIFE to understand the WONDERFUL LIFE of serving and loving Jesus Christ that allows “healing and deliverance and for souls to be set free” -  AMEN!!!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!
