![]() ![]() (c) Pastor Jeff Spencer West End Assembly of GOD Heaven is real ~ and so
is Hell. If you read the
Bible, you will discover that JESUS was the greatest
"Hell Fire and Brimstone" Preacher that ever
was. Do you realize that JESUS preached three times more
on Hell than HE did on Heaven? He doesn't want us to go
there. He taught on it because of HIS love for us. Jesus
taught there was a Hell, describing the many different
aspects of it. In Matthew 10:28
the Bible uses the word "destroy," which does not
mean cease to exist (as Hell is for eternity, and so is
Heaven). We are to fear the One who can put both your
soul and body in Hell. JESUS has given us a warning. Here
is the warning: HELL IS REAL ~ DON'T GO THERE! You are not going to
like it... How can we
escape the damnation of Hell? There is only one way,
and that Way is JESUS. But there is no escape for people
who don't accept JESUS into their life. Hell is a place
of damnation, destruction, torture... A place of
damnation doesn't sound like a good place to go. This verse sounds very extreme, but it is to the point of seriousness of Hell. ...if your hand offend thee, cut it off... This is how strong and how important this issue is to JESUS, how much He desires for you not to go there! He is telling you it is better to enter in life maimed that go unmaimed to Hell ~ into the fire that never shall be quenced. It sounds like a harsh thing to do to cut your hand off, but it is not when it comes to time of keeping you from Hell. Whatever it takes to keep you from going there ~ you need to do! Hell is a place where the fire never can be quenced. We go through
life, never thinking about life ~ we are not guaranteed
tomorrow. You are one heartbeat away from Heaven or Hell...
No matter how young you are or how old you are ~ You are
only a heartbeat away from Heaven or Hell. Hell is a place of torment so bad that all the rich man asked was to cool the tip of his tongue with water but there is a gap between Heaven and Hell that no man can cross once you have entered in to one or the other. There is no crossing back... The rich man is sitting in hell, and the torment is so bad, that he begs Father Abraham to please send Lazarus to talk to his family get the word to them... the message had already been sent by Moses and the Prophets ~ and they did not listen. Again, he begs if Lazarus was sent back from the dead to talk to them, they would listen... the request was not granted. Its a terrible thing to be in Hell he begs and pleads ... send someone to my family... to get the word to them... that Hell is not a place that they want to go... a place of outer darkness... a place you don't want your kids or your family to go... SEND THE WORD! Guess what? You
are sending a word to your family ~ whether you like it
or not ~ you are sending a word. I hope its telling them
that JESUS is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Your life
is sharing with them... If you are a believer... you must
live this life.
Be faithful to your committment. Hell is a place
of torment in fire. Hell is described in the Bible as a
flame of fire in Luke 16:24, and a furnace of fire in
Matthew 13:42. The rich man was tormented in the flame of
fire. This scripture describes it as a furnace of fire...
A place of outer darkness... A place of gloom and doom...
where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth... tormented
agony. Hell is described as a place of Outer Darkness. Why is it dark? Not because is has no lightness, but because it has nothing of GOD ... Nothing ~ Nothing ~ Nothing of GOD whatsoever in Hell ~ so there is no light of GOD there. You may think that living in the world at this time is bad, but GOD is still with us and there are people of GOD on the earth right now. Hell is a place where there is no GOD ~ no people of GOD ~ nothing of GOD ~ no light of GOD. The worst evil you can ever imagine. The worst darkness ever. The darkest day ever to be for people is if when they stand before GOD, they hear the words "Depart from Me, I never knew you" ~ right into Hell forever. Whoa. There is no excuse to be ignorant of the Truth. Especially in America, we have churches, TV Preachers, Radio Stations, Magazines; anything and everything to tell us about JESUS. Every one of those times that you heard about JESUS is going to flash back before you. The worst it could be is that you are going to stand before GOD, and you have heard of HIS goodness ~ and GOD is going to say "Depart from ME, I never knew you." LOST. Without Hope. Forever. Without the Presence of GOD. Hell is a place
of torment. Hell is a place
of sorrows. Sorrows of death and
torment. Hell is everything opposite of Heaven. A place
of torment in the flame as we read in Luke ...crying out!
just dip the tip of your finger in
the water that you may cool my tongue!
Sounds awful... Hell is a place of filth. Every sin committed is represented in Hell. You may think that you are pretty good but somewhere in your lifetime ~ you have sinned. You may think that you haven't committed any really bad sins, but this verse notes that being "fearful" and "unbelieving" is as the major sins mentioned. Any and All sin will keep you out of Heaven. GOD did everything He could do - He sent His son to die so you wouldn't have to go there. Hell is a place where the worm dieth not. If the worm dieth not ~ what is the worm doing in Hell? Have you ever looked into a rotting body? The worms eat the rotting flesh. The eternal worms eat your rotting flesh ~ but never finish consuming you... That is why Hell is call the Second Death, you die and rot for eternity, but you are never eaten up. The worm dieth not... that is what it says in the Bible. There are many this day who are playing games with GOD, walking the fence, thinking that they are going to go to Heaven, and when they get up there they are going to stand before JESUS and HE is going to say, "Depart from ME, I never knew you." Do you realize the seriousness of this? Hell is a place where the fire is not quenched; the fire NEVER goes out. What could be worse than fire not being quenched? You are going to stand before JESUS, you are going to know that He is real, you are going to realize that every sin that you have committed trying to fill the void in your life ~ JESUS could only fill. And the fire that cannot be quenched is not worse than the longing that you are going to have for JESUS for eternity. And you are never going to be able to get that void filled. You didn't get
it ~ you
were created with a void inside of you that only JESUS
can fill. Only JESUS can fill that void ~ nothing else
you do will ever replace the relationship you were
created to have with your CREATOR. What a terrible place
to be in. You will know how Great and Mighty GOD is ~
because you will stand before HIM ~ you will feel HIS
Awesomeness ~ and His Presence ~ and HIS Supernatural
Power... Then HE is going to say: "Depart from ME"
...and you will have a longing inside of you for eternity
for that GOD you rejected... and never get HIM. What a
terrible feeling. Oh what agony. Where is Hell? The location of Hell is beneath as outlined is Isaiah 14:9 and down to the sides of the pit in Isaiah 14:15. In Numbers 16:32-33 the earth opened up and swallowed the sons of Korah who sinned against GOD by questioning the authority of Moses, they went down alive into the pit ~ never to return again. Hell is a place that people went. A place that people go when they don't accept HIM. When they say, "go away, I don't want to hear about JESUS now, go away, leave me alone, I don't need HIM..." Hell is a place
where the people who go there ~ can call their own. It's a place in the
corner of the universe, somewhere for these people to
call their own home. A place they can say is theirs for
all eternity ~ as though JESUS did not exist. Who goes
there? Who inherits Hell? In Matthew 25:41 it
says that Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels.
GOD did not prepare it for us, and HE gives you a choice.
The devil will be there and every demonic spirit
imaginable will be there, but we choose to go there. Who else will be there? The wicked will be there. You may say that you are a good person, but the Word of GOD says that our righteousness is as filthy rags... nothing you can do can get you into heaven or out of hell. Who else goes
there? The
ones that forget GOD. The average christian goes to
church, and leaves GOD in the church when they leave. And
they forget GOD for six days in a week, and remember GOD
on only one. What if you die on one of the days you
forget GOD? This is a big
list. What if you find yourself in this list? It mentions
"idolaters," most people think that they don't
figure into that sin, however, if anything in your life
is before GOD, you are worshipping it ~ that includes
children ~ that includes spouses ~ that includes
recreation ~ that includes anything that you put before
GOD. It can even be the TV. Whatever you put before GOD
can be an idol. You better make sure that GOD is first in
you life. What about the rest of the list. How do you
measure up? Those who
mentally think that they are serving JESUS, but aren't ~
aren't going to make it. In Revelation 3:16 GOD says HE will vomit (spue) you out of HIS mouth. Lukewarm christians make GOD sick! The Bible says that the ones who know to do right, but don't do it ~ the ones that think they are good people, but never accept JESUS ~ the ones who give GOD lip-service but no heart-sevice have no evidence. Works must back your faith. Works. Some say, "Why would a loving GOD send me to Hell?" GOD doesn't send anyone to Hell. GOD loved you so much, that HE didn't create you like a robot. He created us with free choice and has given us free will to make our own decisions. You have a choice to serve GOD. You have a choice to do more than lip-service ~ the choice is yous... What is in Hell? Once the inhabitants get to Hell, what will they discover?
There will be activities in Hell. Weeping and gnashing of teeth, mentioned in Matthew 8:12. Crying for relief, mentioned in Luke 16 the rich man in torment and Lazarus in Abraham's Bosom. Eternal crying for relief ~ and never getting it. Every opportunity you had to get right, every time you had someone come to you to share JESUS, that vision of them talking to you is going to flash back to you for eternity as you ask yourself, "Why didn't I accept JESUS?... Why didn't I listen to that Preacher?...Why?" You will be looking across the great gulf, knowing that there is a Heaven over there, but you being in Hell locked there forever can never cross that gap once you are there, never. Unbearing torment wondering are your sons and daughters, grandchildren here? Are they here... Your memory will be good in Hell. You will not forget those you left behind. What is good about Hell? You will have good sight in Hell You will see everying that hell has to offer. You will see every time someone came to you. You will have good feelings in Hell. You will feel the agony. You will feel the torment. You will have good thrist - your mouth will cry out with thirst. Your spirit will cry with thirst for JESUS. You will have good memory. You will remember every time you could have changed, but didn't. You will have good hearing. You will hear the cries of others...crying "JESUS, JESUS, have mercy on me..." Cry all you want ~ it's too late. You will hear the cries of demon spitits. You will hear the crackling sound of burning flesh. You will have good smelling. You will smell the aroma of death. The last good thing in Hell is: Good-bye Forever. That is what JESUS says, "Good-Bye Forever." No hope ~ Hell is real. Everything about it is real. The words "Depart from Me" is real. The cries are real. The pain is real. The lonliness is real. This is why JESUS preached on Hell three times more that He did on Heaven, because He doesn't want you to go there. JESUS knows that those who reject Him are on their way to Hell. It's time that we stopped playing games. Are you 100% sure that if you died right now that you would be in Heaven? The reason JESUS died on the cross and took the pain, and suffering, and agony, and lonliness, was so that you would't have to go to Hell. So you wouldn't have to go through it. But it is your choice. The Bible says that it is His desire that none perish, no not one. He loved you enough that He gave you free choice. The Bible says that many will cry out "Lord! Lord!"~ but won't make it. Some will cast out devils in His name ~ but won't make it. There is a problem in the church today ~ they don't know what it is to serve JESUS. Serving JESUS is not just saying a prayer, It starts with a prayer. It's not being a member of a church. It's not being good. And many are being misled by the devil and man's programs today. Some even faithful in coming to church every week and on on the verge of being "spued out" by Almighty GOD and are on their way to Hell. Hell is something you don't want. There is a book that was written by a woman who was taken in the Spirit to Hell. "The Divine Revelation of Hell"... to be continued |
