Covenant: “an agreement, usually formal, between two or more persons to do or not do something specified.” (dictionary.com)
Had a dream last night that gave confirmation to something that’s been in my spirit for a while. In the dream, I was kicked out of a gorgeous area, it looked like a park. But it wasn’t a harsh incident, I was just told I couldn’t stay there, and the person telling me this was in a vehicle. So he made me follow his vehicle with my vehicle, and we went to another park. But this park wasn’t as beautiful as the first one. The grass wasn’t as bright and green and some of the grass was brown and dried. There were no strong emotions on my part, like I just accepted it and was OK.
When I awoke, the meaning came to me quickly, which is unusual. And I was guided to write this article. I was told that like I had believed prior, but wasn’t 100% sure about, everyone on earth was kicked out of heaven. I believe we have different reasons for this, but ultimately, we weren’t giving God our full attention and devotion. We became selfish, as opposed to selfless, and therefore were no longer worthy of being in such a splendid place with angels and other beings who actually do deserve such honor. Yah is selfless and we must strive to be like our Creator, in whose image we were all formed.
So we all AGREED to come to earth, in order to test our Love for our Creator. And to EARN our way back in. In Her/His great love for us, Yah created the earth as a test ground for the fallen souls.
And along with this CONVENANT, we also agreed that if we failed the test, we agree to the punishment…which is the torment of hellfire. Because I believe that most if not all of us were confident we would win and get back in. Part of the agreement was that we would FORGET the covenant, while on earth. So this makes it more challenging and more GENUINE that we would follow Messiah and become selfless -here on earth- in order to be accepted back into paradise when we die.
So it’s true then that Yashua sends NO ONE to hell. We truly send ourselves there because we agreed to it beforehand. And 100% of the people in hell know they deserve to be there – yes, some argue at the gates of heaven but deep down they know they messed up. Although some remain unrepentant and curse God while they’re there, while others sincerely apologize even though they also know it’s too late. (But Yah is a merciful God so there is some benefit to this.)
All throughout the Bible you see that Yah ALWAYS honors agreements and promises. If S/he says it will be done, or come to pass, SO IT SHALL. There is never a gray area. And that is what helped to boost the faith of our ancestors, many of whom had miraculous things occur and supernatural experiences in their lives. And Yah honors covenants such as true marriages, our promises, and our pledges to God.
So when we came (fell) down here, we were given different talents and gifts. And these MUST be used to glorify Yah and help others get back in. Otherwise we will be judged for throwing them away. It’s like heaven is the ULTIMATE party and we want to get back in sooo bad but we have to be FIT for the Kingdom. (reference The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30)
Many things that the world falsely teaches are gifts are not really, in that they can more often be a curse. For example, beauty. It can easily, easily, lead to vanity, which will deny us access to heaven. Remember satan was the most beautiful angel and he got full of himself. Wealth, also held as a gift in this world, can also easily lead to vanity… and to corruption. When you can buy anything and do anything, it’s so much harder to keep on the narrow road. This is why Messiah said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23). If we die to self, and forget about the needs and wants of the flesh, it becomes easier to deal with things like wealth and beauty without losing your soul, in fact it may be the only way.
Too many hell visitors have seen famous people, kings and queens, and the top people of the world burning in torment. While those who seem to have little, such as the handicapped and homeless, often make it in. The story of Lazarus and the Rich Man in Luke 16:19 breaks this down perfectly. The beggar wearing rags went to paradise while the rich man in fine linen dropped down the tunnel to endless torture.
So the dream was confirmation that we indeed got put out (like the story of Adam and Eve describes) and that we must strive hard to re-enter our true country. We can’t sneak back in cause there are angels with flaming swords guarding the entrance.
There is only ONE way back in, and that is through following Messiah, the WAY, TRUTH and the LIFE. He is the door we must all enter through. Blessings.
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.” (John 10:9)
“And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. 29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.” (Luke 13:23-30)
