Jesus said,
"If anyone declares himself for
Me in the presence of men I will declare
Myself for him in the Presence of
My Father in Heaven"
Matthew
10
Let there be no mistaking the fact
and substance of reality and truth.
He who speaks and does perverse
and evil things has chosen his own
destiny, rejecting all the life
and light We offer him. In the history
of man few have pursued the path
of evil from persistent choice,
but some there are in every generation.
Freedom demands that they continue
as they choose, receiving the reward
of their perversity and evil choice.
The Son of Man Himself cannot save
them from the consequences. Yet
continually We call to each, suffering
his pain, and trying to retrieve
him even to the end. The slightest
sign of turning before life's end
will save him from destruction,
for I am there to love him into
Paradise if only he will look to
Me in faith.
My likeness is upon each of the
Father's children who desires the
light and life which I bestow as
he continues faithful. That life
and light will speak for him when
he arrives at the threshold of the
Father's Kingdom, and those who
have declared My Name and been My
love to others will shine like lights
when life shall end, and I shall
joyfully present them to the glorious
Father's Presence.
