Accept the Lord -THAT IS A FACT

If the one you love and care about dies without Jesus, they will go to
hell
for all eternity! Several weeks ago, I was asked by a man to go visit
his
87-year-old father in the hospital. His health was failing fast and
the
doctors did not expect him to live more than a few weeks. This man
told me
his father had refused to go to church during his life, didn't want to
hear
"religious talk," and stated often that he didn't care what happened to
him
after he was dead.

I went to the hospital and spent about 20 minutes with this elderly
gentleman, talking to him about Christ's love and about how God desired
to
have an eternal relationship with him. He was fairly polite but very
adamant about letting me know he lived his entire life without God and
had
no desire to start believing in some "invisible man in the sky." He
asked
me to leave and let him die in peace. Sadly, I deal every day with
people
like this man whose hearts are so hardened they simply don't want to
hear
anything about the Lord.

I got a call a few days later from the man whose father I had visited.
I
could tell he had been crying and he had a difficult time telling me
that
his father had passed away the previous night and wanted to know if
there
was any chance his father was in Heaven. I told him that if his father
had
decided in the last moments of his life to accept the Lord into his
heart by
faith, then yes he was in Heaven. However, if he had continued to deny
Christ's love and died in his sins, then sadly he was lost for all
eternity.
One of the most difficult things I have to do each day is tell people
that
if their loved one dies without Jesus, they will spend eternity in
hell.

(This is why I tell you often what we do every day here at Liveprayer
is so
critical and why we are constantly being attacked by the enemy. We are
literally warring with satan 24/7 for the eternal souls of men!)

My friend, what drives me each day is the reality that every second of
every
day people are dying and going to hell. Hell is a place that was NEVER
intended for man. It was created for satan and the fallen angels that
followed him. God's desire is that ALL come to repentance and that
none be
lost. Let me clear up a misconception many people have. God doesn't
send
anyone to hell. Let me say that once more. God doesn't send anyone to
hell. The only way you can get to hell is to CHOOSE to go there. The
only
people that go to hell are the ones who make the choice to spend
eternity
there with satan and the fallen angels.

Let me tell you something. After nearly 2 decades of evangelistic
ministry, I can assure you that very few people actually want to go to
hell.
For most people they either don't believe there is such a place or
nobody
has ever told them how they can avoid ending up there. VERY FEW PEOPLE
REALLY WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY IN HELL. With the better percentage of
two
full generations having never even gone to church, we have more people
than
ever who are dying and going to hell simply because they didn't really
understand that when they died they were either going to spend eternity
with
God their Creator in Heaven, or be eternally separated from God their
Creator in hell.

That is where my passion comes from to use the power of the Internet to
reach millions of people all over the planet each and every day with
the
hope we have in Jesus Christ. That is what keeps me getting up night
after
night, week after week, month after month, now year after year at 11
p.m. 5
nights a week to go to a TV studio and use secular television to reach
the
lost and hurting masses with the message that Jesus loves them and that
without Christ they will die one day and be lost for all eternity.

I do what I do each day because I know that if your dad or mom, your
brother
or sister, your husband or wife, your son or daughter, your neighbor
for
friend, your boss or co-worker, the people in your life die without
knowing
Jesus, they will spend all eternity in hell!!!

I love you and care about you so much. I love you enough to give my
life
every day to bring you the Absolute Truth of God's Word and the love of
Jesus Christ. My heart breaks when I get the emails from people who
have
lost loved ones and friends. It breaks even more when I find out their
loved one or friend didn't have a relationship with Jesus since I know
that
this special person in their life is in hell for all eternity. We get
so
caught up in so many things during this life, but there is nothing more
important than telling people about the fact that Jesus loves them and
without putting their faith in Christ they will die and be lost for all
eternity.

You can't force someone to get saved. That is a choice they have to
make
for themselves. But you can certainly make sure they know about that
choice
and how critical it is since what they do with Jesus will determine
their
eternal home. What they ultimately choose to do is something they have
to
decide for themselves. However, if you love and care about the people
who
are in your life, you will love and care about them enough to tell them
the
fact that if they die without Christ in their heart they will spend all
eternity in hell.

The great evangelist DL Moody stated one of his greatest regrets in
life was
the night of the Chicago fire. He preached that night and instead of
giving
an invitation, he told the audience to think about his words and come
back
the next night. I submit to you today, that a man or woman of God in a
church service, or in any type of meeting or conference, or in any
media
appearance, who doesn't use the opportunity to tell people how to
accept
Jesus as their Savior is committing spiritual malpractice!!! The only
thing
we can really offer this world is Jesus, and there is no excuse to not
use
every opportunity we have to tell people how they can know Jesus as
their
personal Savior.

Let me be blunt. You can do all the "seeker" services you want, think
outside the box and use every creative means possible to reach people,
but
if once you have reached them you don't use that opportunity to tell
them
how to be saved, you have accomplished NOTHING. The fact is, people
die
every second and if they die without Christi in their heart they are
going
to hell for all eternity. THAT IS A FACT. How can any man or woman of
God
know that fact, have a group of people assembled, and not use the
opportunity to tell them how to be saved?

People deserve to know the truth and to not tell them is no different
than
if you knew a building was going to blow up in 10 minutes and sat back
and
didn't tell everyone to get out. In the end, you can't trick people
into
getting saved, you can't play games to get them saved, you can't hope
they
figure it out for themselves, at some point you simply have to be blunt
and
tell them that they will die one day and at that moment if they don't
know
Christ as their Savior their soul will be lost for all eternity!!!

The Bible states that when a person comes to faith in Christ, the
angels in
Heaven rejoice. As I look at the salvations reports from the Internet
and
TV program each day here at Liveprayer, I know that each person is
someone's
mom or dad, someone's husband or wife, someone's son or daughter,
someone's
boss or co-worker, someone's friend or neighbor. The fact is, the
people
you love and care about in this life will die one day and at that
moment
they will either be in Heaven with the Lord or forever in hell. Please
don't neglect to tell them about Jesus and His love for them.

I can promise you today that with whatever breath I have left in this
life,
I will continue to spend each waking moment doing everything I can to
reach
the lost and hurting masses throughout the world, including your loved
ones
and friends, with the message that Jesus Christ is the way, and the
truth,
and the life, and that nobody comes to the Father except through Him
!!!


In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
