A CERTAIN HOPE!
IT IS SO BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL TO KNOW that I have a sibling in Heaven! I will tell you all about her (all that I know, that is) shortly. More important to some of you right now is this Truth: all you who have had an unborn child die unexpectedly; if you have chosen abortion; or any other sad situation – I want you to have peace in the circumstance of that baby’s or child’s early death.
Here are inerrant, infallible Scriptures to bring peace to the believer who may not yet know the absolute certainty that all babies and children (too young to understand the redemptive plan of God) leave their little bodies; while their spirits go directly into the presence of God Almighty, their Creator. Amen!
Matthew 21:14-16
The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”
Matthew 18:1-4
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
SEE THIS! From the lips of children AND babies the Lord has called forth praise!
SEE THIS! Little babies praise God! (And you thought it was just: “Goo goo, da da”!)
SEE THIS! Babies and little children enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
HOW COULD THE TRUE LOVING GOD SEND A BABY OR A CHILD TO HELL?
HE COULD NOT!
HE DOES NOT!!
THEY ARE THE INNOCENT: unable to discern right from wrong; unable in their innocence to understand God’s ways and that of the devil’s. Since they cannot participate in theology how could the loving God possibly consign them to the lake of burning sulfur?
The LORD God Almighty does not annihilate – anything. There is no instance in the Bible where there is anything other than Heaven or Hell at the end of life.
Selah…
The family of God enter Heaven – the wicked enter Hell. There is no in-between. There is no sound, wise reason to choose evil over holiness / the devil over God / Hell over Heaven. You just have to know that children are the innocent. They haven’t hardened their hearts yet obviously: they haven’t lived long enough to choose their wills over God’s. They don’t know any better – THEY DO KNOW GOD!
Matthew 21:14-16 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise?'”
Hallelujah! Amen! Our God loves His little babies – and everyone of them are His.
Precious Mamma or Daddy who have chosen abortion – believing the lie – or not: this is forgivable! Abortion is murder: the most heinous of all (saving the murder of the Paschal Lamb.) However: Beloved, God’s grace abounds! Take the gift of Jesus’ blood and apply it to your conscience if you are a believer. If you are not – become that new creation in Christ now: He will cleanse you and forgive you and Jesus tells you – “It’s under My blood! – Move on! I will unite you with your child! Your child IS WAITING FOR YOU – – – EAGERLY!!”
This is no lie:
Psalm 103:8-12
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 43:25
“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.
Sins forgiven – forgotten. You are worthy! By the grace and mercy of God (He who knows the weakness of man, He who knows the wiles of the devil.) God is beseeching you to join Him, with His children and yours.
NOW: about my sister. I named her Cindy. A beautiful name! It was almost mine, and I love it. Anyway: God put on my heart to ask Him daily to greet my child, Jesse (read about Jesse in JOY STORIES – IN HONOR OF JESSE) and my sister, Cindy; to tell them I love them and to tell them my family and I will be with them one day.
I fully believe Cindy is MY SISTER. Because I always wanted a beautiful older sister. I always knew she would be a tremendous friend! This longing desire to have a sister will not go unfulfilled; and since I know God gives me the desires of my heart – I know I have her because He gave me that desire!. This exactly why I have her waiting for me in Heaven. Don’t you really just have to believe she is there – waiting for me??! I sure do.
I may have missed playing with Cindy, learning from her, hugging her here on Earth (I really long for her now as I joyfully tell you of our definite eternity together in Heaven.)
You must realize my joy in my relationships with my Father, my family, in my prison ministry, my books (more are coming unless I am raptured first) and this beautiful website is a choice. My joy is a choice! Yes we have sorrows and disappointments here in life – but God will work it all for good – IF you let Him. Amen! I love Cindy and Jesse and I know I will be with them sometime – and in the meantime I rejoice everyday over loved ones I have not even met yet.
So should you! Common sense alone tells all people there is a God. Wise people seek Him – and always find. Bitter people blame Him – and are always wrong
I pray you celebrate any baby or young child you have in Heaven: that child is waiting for you – EAGERLY!!
Do you dare let him down?
SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS FROM THIS “JOY JEM”
(THAT IS: MY JOY ETERNAL MINISTRY GEM – TO YOU!)
Psalm 139:13-15
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
2 Samuel 12:18–23
On the seventh day the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, “While the child was still living, we spoke to David but he would not listen to us. How can we tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate.” David noticed that his servants were whispering among themselves and he realized the child was dead. “Is the child dead?” he asked. “Yes,” they replied, “he is dead.” Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate. His servants asked him, “Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!” He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let the child live.’ But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
