Power of Prayer

The 2+ years I have had my Tumblr, I never shared the Word of God. Sure, I would mention God from time to time in a post or two, but I never really go to share my faith. I know people on here are opened minded and take religion lightly and don’t really care what gets put up on here about religion. 

Well, my name is Gabbie and I strongly believe heaven is real… But I also believe hell is real. 

Luke 16:19-31 (I know it’s a long scripture, but actually read it and soak it in.)

 19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

   22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

   25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

   27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

   29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

   30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

   31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

This is proof that hell is real. But heaven is also.

Once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and once you have repented from all your sins, don’t just value your soul, value others’ souls. I’m sharing my story because I know that NOW is the time to tell you guys why  I chose the path of God. I have the opportunity to share, so I’ma do it.

My “Salvation” Story
When I was 7 years old, just a little girl, my parents always brought me to church and I believed in God. I didn’t grow up without having God in my life. Every year, I attended Vacation Bible School. It was an over night school and it was definitely fun. I went because I loved being around my friends and simply because I love God. Little did I know, I was about to get saved that night. That night, I accepted Jesus into my life and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. I absolutely didn’t know what to do after that. But growing up, I feared God and that’s what he wants me to do. He wants us to fear Him because He’s the only way to get to the gates of Heaven. John 14:6- “I am the way the truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Proof, that heaven is real. Proof, that Jesus is the ONLY way. Growing up, I learned that it’s not about religion, it’s a relationship I make with God. Religion couldn’t save me for my life, only Jesus can. 
My story isn’t as drastic and complex as others, but it’s a story. It’s better than nothing at all. The Bible says that it is OUR responsibility to tell people that Jesus is the ONLY one that can save and that the devil is trying to attract us to this world so that we can be away from Christ. We cannot stand in awe of what the world has to offer us and act like fools, however we must act rich in Christ and be wise. We should redeem the time now because you can’t save lives once you’re dead.

Note: I do not mean to offend other religions. You can unfollow me, you can bash on me, hate me, send me hate mail, laugh at me, taunt me, belittle me, degrade me, anything you want, but when you’re ready to know Him, I’ll be here. I won’t be here to say “I told you so.” but I’ll be here with excitement to tell you how much Jesus has to offer us more than this world does. I simply did this because I just want to share my story. Nothing more, nothing less. 

Tomorrow isn’t promised, so why not accept Him now?
