The world is passing away, our clock is ticking, and for that
reason nothing is of more importance than eternal life.
This is the moment of salvation.Hi there, may the God of the
(01:12):
Bible bless your life, the moment of salvation.
How many times have you thought about life in heaven?
How many times do you think about heaven?
Is it real? Does it exist?
(01:32):
For some, heaven is just the sky.
They look up and they see above their heads the blue, the dark,
the cloudy, the sky, and they don't believe that heaven
exists. In this series, the series of
(01:55):
salvation moment of salvation, we are going to explain to you
more about heaven. That is what the Dicks.
(02:17):
Have you ever imagined yourself in the Kingdom of heaven?
No doubt for any who yearn and dream about living with God,
there are times when your mind travels there.
Have you ever imagined, just fora few seconds, what this holy
(02:40):
place would be like? Of course, no human mind could
ever fully grasp the greatness of heaven.
No image or artificial intelligence could recreate it
with any amount of accuracy. But with supernatural faith, a
(03:03):
faith that imagines can transport us there.
And yet, if you never think about heaven, something
extremely dangerous is happeningto you from the beginning of
time. The devil has always worked in
this world to distort our image of heaven and to steal people's
(03:27):
desire to go to that place. He makes it seem like a tedious
fairy tale land where the dead turn into angels and spend their
time floating around the clouds playing harps.
And this strategy has sadly worked because most people think
only about this world. They dream about going to Paris,
(03:51):
to London and various other destinations, but never to the
Kingdom of heaven. One thing is certain, it is
real, much more real than this world.
But it has nothing to do with the blue sky we see above our
(04:12):
heads. It's far beyond this world, far
beyond the galaxies, a totally different dimension from
anything we know. And the one who gave us the most
detailed description of it was the Lord Jesus himself.
(04:33):
And the details he left us are glorious.
My father's house has many rooms.
If that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to
prepare a place for you? Then I will come back and take
(04:54):
you to be with me. That you.
Also may be where I am. The Son of God Himself is
preparing a place for you. Do you have any idea what this
means? It's not a home like the ones we
live in in this world, or a bodythat battles with our soul and
(05:19):
which will both eventually deteriorate.
No, it's an eternal, permanent home where we'll live together
with the Father. Imagine a Kingdom that God has
prepared so that we can live together with Him, where we'll
sacrifice our fleeting lives here on this earth for eternal
life. This is the Kingdom of heaven,
(05:44):
where everything is made new. It's a place that doesn't need
the sun because it shines with the glory of God Himself.
Imagine being where you'll nevercry again, or even remember the
sorrows of your past. Do you remember the greatest
joys you've ever felt in your life?
(06:06):
Here is where you'll experience the completeness of joy, not
just for a moment, but at the highest level, an endless
pleasure. Imagine walking on streets of
gold. The stuff that people chase
after here on earth is like asphalt in the Kingdom of
heaven. That's why the streets of gold,
(06:27):
the crowns, the white clothing, and so many other details can
give us a small glimpse of what this place will be like.
God is there. We'll have eternal communion
with our Father. He is the one who will draw all
our eyes to Himself. This is why we need to fight for
(06:48):
the salvation of our souls. After all, entering into this
heavenly Kingdom is not automatic.
It requires total sacrifice, dayafter day, in light of the
Kingdom of heaven that never ends.
Everything else is reduced to nothing.
(07:10):
Think about heaven, long for it every day since the awareness of
eternity will help you to understand that all these
struggles, injustice and tears are just temporary.
And when we reach the end of ourjourney here in this land, we
will hear the sweetest and most beautiful phrase.
(07:31):
Welcome my child into the Kingdom of Heaven.
This is where the Lord wants to welcome you in His Kingdom, the
Kingdom of heaven here on earth.We should, we must live in the
(07:52):
Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is here, but
there is another Kingdom that isthe Kingdom of heaven or called
also called a heavenly home. Yes, there is a heavily home
(08:16):
life on earth has become so short, so short.
In the days of Abraham, in the days of Moses, they used to
live. The days of Adam, Eve, they used
to live over 900 years, 807 hundred, 500 years.
(08:39):
Nowadays when somebody reach 100years, they celebrate 101
because life here on earth is become shorter.
Nowadays the young ones are being buried, yes, by the
(09:01):
elderly, parents, grandparents and people are dying very young.
Yes, the whole world is coming to an end.
When we hear about so many war fights, killings, we see that
Jesus is coming back. But if Jesus does not come back
(09:23):
in our generation, we will go. But we will go where?
Now is the time to decide, decide to go to heaven, to go to
the holy place. Our Lord Jesus Christ said in
his words, Let not your heart betroubled.
(09:50):
You believe in God, believe alsoin me, Jesus said in my Father's
house are many mentions. If it were not so, I would have
told you just I said I will go to prepare a place for you.
There is a place for us. And if I go and prepare a place
(10:15):
for you, I will come again and receive you to myself.
That where I am that you may be also.
Jesus came to this earth, to this world, and he went back to
(10:38):
the Father, to the heavenly place, heavenly home, and he
said, I go to prepare a place for you.
But how can we inherit or take aplace in this place?
We need to surrender our lives to our Lord Jesus Christ.
One thing is to build a house, abuilding here on earth.
(11:01):
Another thing is to build a homein heaven.
Jesus is preparing a place for us, but we needed to do our part
so that step by step, which means day by day we may go up to
heaven and one day the door willbe open and our heavenly Father
(11:23):
will say we'll come home, we'll come to the heavenly home, the
heavenly place. Right along is the moment for
the prayer. Let us now pray together.
Prayer connects us with God and is essential in our journey of
salvation. This is now the moment of
(11:44):
prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ, O
Lord my God, life on earth is becoming short every day, even
(12:06):
shorter. We have only one option.
There is no Plan B. There is no second thought.
Opinion My Father, everybody wants to go to heaven.
We don't hear people fight and say to one another go to heaven,
(12:28):
but usually they send the peopleto hell because nobody wants to
go to hell. Hell is a place of punishment.
However, Lord, there is this person that is not saved yet,
that her name, His name is not in the book of life.
But yes, Lord, we pray right nowfor salvation.
(12:50):
How many times we pray for healing, prosperity or family.
We present our prayer requests asking for protection, for
success. But not so often we say, Lord, I
want my salvation. No, we don't hear people say I
want to go to heaven. They believe that everybody at
(13:12):
the end will go to heaven. This is the lie of the devil.
This is their deceitful spirit. It's not everybody there to go
to heaven. Because you said that many are
called, few are chosen. Only those who go through the
(13:33):
narrow gate, yes, those who leave their lives behind, those
who lose their lives on earth, they gain in heaven.
So Lord, this person now will pray for his, her salvation.
And I ask you, save the souls through this video, this
podcast, save this person. Pray for your soul right now.
(14:23):
In the name of Jesus, have in our assurance of your salvation.
Yes, in the name of Jesus, if you gave your life to Him, He
give his life to you. Receive salvation, Have your
soul saved. Have your name written in the
book of life. In the name of the Father, the
Son, the Holy Spirit, Amen. Praise God, Amen.
(15:00):
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms of Jesus until the day he
comes, though I know it's not the good that I have done.
(15:23):
I know of you, Jesus. There's a victory to be won if I
don't make it. It's only me to be played for.
I mean what? Time and time again I want to
(15:46):
make heaven my heart. The burn of my home love help me
to make it in for no matter whatit is, I really want to make
(16:08):
heaven my home. I'm going to.
Prince, that once I'm in his presence I can't be harmed, for
(16:32):
he is my deep friends. Those temptations are to come
away. The hands of Jesus will guard me
day by day and the all the way to life.
(16:56):
It's a narrow path as I be friesuntil this world has found.
I want to make heaven and my home.
(17:21):
Let help me to make it in, for no matter what it is, I really
wanna make heaven to my home. With grace and mercy He sets me
(17:50):
free. I'm on infirmity and now that I
know what's right from what's wrong, I'm going to keep holding
on. I will make heaven my heart.
I don't want to live every day Heaven my heart let help me to
(18:28):
make it in for no matter what itis, I really want to make heaven
my soul. I don't want to live or remain
(18:48):
heaven in my home. Let I need to make it for no
matter what it takes, I really love it.
Heaven, my heart. If you really want to make
(19:20):
heaven your home, fight for it, sacrifice for it.
Do not labor in vain, and the Lord Jesus bless your life.
If you are not yet baptized in water, go to a church.
The universal church has water baptism every single day.
You can just walk in. Tell a pastor, I want to
(19:43):
surrender my life to Jesus. I want to be baptized and you
can be baptized today. Go to 1 church or maybe somebody
that is in prison. There is no pastor to baptize
you over there. You can take a bottle of water
and pour this water upon your head in the name of the Father,
the Son, the Holy Spirit and receive your baptism by faith.
(20:06):
You are in the hospital, you cando the same.
Let us not waste the time. May the God of the Bible bless
your life. Don't forget Heaven is your
home. Our clock is ticking, and for
that reason nothing is of more importance than eternal life.

This is the moment of salvation.
