Do Parents Need A Paradigm Shift? Lifestyle Change

DO PARENTS NEED A PARADIGM SHIFT? LIFE STYLE CHANGE?

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

HAVE WE EVER CONSIDERED THE TRASH CAN OF LIFE?

I HAD A DREAM, EVERYTHING WAS DARK. There was a darkness you could feel and not see. THE PRESENCE OF GOD WAS WITHDRAWN. THE DARKNESS WAS PURE TORMENT. I heard horrible screaming, weeping and gnashing of teeth. Gnashing of teeth means grinding together, to show anger, to be frustrated, to be upset. The smell was terrible … the burning flesh, burning of sulfur… (Ever try to drink sulfur water, the taste? The smell?) Weeping and gnashing of teeth is an expression of anger. Matthew speaks of weeping and gnashing of teeth as a SIGNAL OF JUDGMENT.

Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I realized what I call the BURNING THRILL. I saw people going to hell. I observed one friend going into hell. I said this is a terrible mistake they are a good Christian. The enemy turned and laughed at me and said their sin is bitterness, anger and unforgiveness. Then the enemy said many here grew up with a head knowledge of God but never accepted the personal grace that was available. They knew of being in the faith. They had no faith. They walked in their own pleasure seeking to be happy. They are mere outsiders to grace, they were good people they just refused to forgive and now they are wondering what on earth happened?

WHY ? WHYAM I HERE?

Their memory was very vivid? They remembered every sermon they ever heard? They remembered when the altar calls were given and how they were in a hurry to get out of church. They remembered they couldn’t afford to pay tithes.

THE PEOPLE ASKED GOD FOR A SECOND CHANCE? THEY ASKED LET ME GO BACK… I have five brothers --- I can preach to them and get them in church.

Luke 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. 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. 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. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY: LISTEN! LISTEN! I started listening and I could hear voices. I am thirsty. I am in torment. The flames burn and never consume. Everything was dark. You could not see. I heard voices I recognized. I heard a young voice screaming, DADDY IS THAT YOU? Where are you daddy? I am over here. I could hear the young voice trying to find his Daddy. After a long period of time I heard the son screaming at the Dad. You never taught me about Jesus. You never took me to church? We watched football on Sunday? Daddy I found your cigarettes and booze? Daddy I found your pornography and spent hours that ignited sin in my heart? Daddy you never mentioned Jesus to me? Daddy I hate you. It was your footsteps I followed. Now we are here in eternal torment.

THE GARBAGE CAN OF ETERNITY IS REAL… HELL WAS NOT CREATED FOR HUMANITY… HELL WAS CREATED FOR SATAN AND ALL THE EVIL, DEMONIC SPIRITS.

NOW THINK THE OPPOSITE: THERE IS ETERNAL JOY… JOY IN KNOWING JESUS IN A PERSONAL WAY…

IT WAS YOU THAT INVITED ME HERE… (UNKNOWN)

WHEN YOU ENTER THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY, FAR REMOVED FROM EARTH’S SORROW AND CARE,

I WANT TO HEAR SOMEONE SAYING: IT WAS YOU WHO INVITED ME HERE.

WHEN AT HOME IN THOSE MANSIONS IN HEAVEN, AND THE SAVED AROUND YOU APPEAR.

I WANT TO HEAR SOMEBODY SAY: IT WAS YOU WHO INVITED ME HERE.

TO OUR SAVIOR ALONE BE THE GLORY WHOSE SPIRIT THE WITNESS DID BEAR.

YET I MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THE GLAD TIDINGS

WELCOME HOME: HAD YOU NOT INVITED ME HERE.
