My Eyes Opened

I recently heard the serman "23 Minutes In Hell" by Bill Wiese and felt the Lord tugging on my heart like never before. I am a born again beliver in Christ and have been since the age of 17 but I had strayed from him and become consumed in the world. Listening to this man accounts of what he endured as the Lord sent him into Hell to experience it for a short time and his message of being taken out of it and feeling the love and peace that is our saviour Christ tug at my heart so strong. I thought of my children and how much I love them and do not want to see them in this place of eternal torment or anyone I have ever encountered in my life, and the words that Christ told Bill before returning him to his body shook me even more "Tell the I am coming very, very soon." and that he repeted it even more sternly "Tell them I am coming VERY, VERY SOON!". I thought of the life I am living and what me kids and loved ones see when they look at me. They do not see a man of God they see a man that is consumed in Nascar, Superman, Baseball, all things of the world, not a man that kneels humble before God and ask his for his blessings. (Romans 4:7-8) (Matthew 7:7-8). I pray that the Lord will use me as his humble servant and that my life could be used to stir others to Christ. The Bible tells us inMtthew 25:31-46; God will separate his obedient followers from pretenders and unbelievers. The Bible further states in Romans 10:13; whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I can not be a pretender but a person that will use what the Lord has given me to his glory. I am not one that is good with words or getting what I have feeling in my heart out in anything that seems like a rational statement, but that is not for me to worry about all I have to do is get it out the Lord will lead and convict the soul. So please pray for me that the Lord may lead me where he sees fit. And remember (John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Very good word and thank you for sharing! I understand Christ has been dealing with me, I have been putting life in front of God, not anymore! What shall seperate me from the love of God? Only I can do that!

I feel the same way ya'll do. Being in college it's much easier to sin and stray from from the Lord, but I'm glad that He continues to watch over me. I pray for everyone on OS that their souls end up in Heaven with Jesus.
