A TRUE EXAMPLE OF WHEN IT IS BETTER TO HAVE BEEN THE POOR MAN INSTEAD OF THE RICH MAN

A TRUE EXAMPLE OF WHEN IT IS BETTER TO HAVE BEEN THE POOR MAN INSTEAD OF THE RICH MAN

JESUS said, " There was a certain rich man, ..." Luke 16:19-31

*♥As It Fell Out Upon One Day♥*

Luk 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Luk 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

Luk 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Luk 16:23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Luk 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

Luk 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

THE poor man had nothing in this life -except ONE THING He was right with GOD.

The rich man had everything he desired. TOO BAD for HIM that pleasing GOD was not high enough on his list of priorities. For we can plainly see, he was NOT right with GOD.

The BIBLE calls them fools who will not hear the Word of GOD.

GOD always gives us a choice, and intreats us to choose life...FOR why will ye die?

Jesus came that we might have life. JESUS is the only one who can take us to GOD. JESUS's blood is the only Pure and HOLY Sacrifice that can wash away all our sins. JESUS is the giver of LIFE.

IF being right with GOD is important to you...You must call out to JESUS. Be truly sorry for not being PERFECT and HOLY. Give your life to JESUS. Ask HIM to save you from sin, death, and hell.

HE will give you LIFE, and Health, peace, and an eternity in the heavens full of happiness, joy, and eternal love.

DID YOU NOTICE that hell is a real place?

Did you also notice that the rich man was in 'flames and TORMENTS?'

DID you also notice that he did not 'cease to exist'?

He was not "burned up, & that's the end of it."

OH no. There will N E V E R NEVER BE AN END TO HELLS PAINS.

NEVER.

don't go there.

please.

JESUS suffered and died so you wouldn't have to go there.

You don't believe in hell?

Do you think if you stop believing in the SUN or the MOON they will simply go away?

No.

Hell is there. And ALL THE UNBELIEVING WILL BE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

it's in the BIBLE. If you want chapter and verse...just ask.

~~~

written in LOVE hoping to save SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, EVERYBODY alot of pain.

The Dream

GOD gave me a dream. I have posted it :
http://journals.aol.com/yeshuaessenor/JESUSJESUSJESUS/entries/389
This is the interpretation of that dream.

Mar 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jona, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood
John 6:53-54
⁵³Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

⁵⁴Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 7:37-39 37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

The Man of GOD was a Fisher of Men. He fed GOD's people in obedience to GOD , the shoulder-bag-box-cooler was not his own, but belonged to GOD.

The fish that had gone on to heaven, but their blood was left behind in the cooler of frozen ice-chips are Men and Women of GOD who had done the works of GOD when they were here.

Their blood (blood of JESUS) that remained in the cooler are their HOLY GHOST speaches, teachings, and sermons.

The ice...was frozen living water that kept the blood fresh and alive, and profitable for 'food' for GOD's children even now.

GOD Himself did that...the Ice, and the Blood...the ICE refers to the HOLY SPIRIT, and the BLOOD, to JESUS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The man of GOD, while he did not give NEW food, was giving GOOD food to GOD's children.

What the man of GOD was doing was feeding The People with GOD's HOLY SPIRIT Filled messages from days gone by...

such as those of Charles Finney, John G. Lake, and Maria Woodworth-Etter.
