Are You Destined to Get to Heaven?

[Life-Changing Content Inside!]

Hi My Friends,

I don't usually send weekly announcements such as this to The Empowerment Zone group. Yet, I am a bit saddened by what I have read so far on a site called Divine Revelations: http://bit.ly/MmDixa

It discusses spiritual salvation, what you need to do to make it to Heaven, and real-life testimonies of Heaven and Hell. Now, I'm sure you agree that before we even think about going higher in life here on earth, we need to make sure we secure a spot 'there' in Heaven (which is much better than anything on earth). Besides, our life in our mortal bodies is gone in the blink of an eye as compared to our everlasting life in the spiriual realm.

With sadness, fear, and trembling I say that not everybody makes it to Heaven. And I received a revelation last night that Jesus 'weeps daily' for the lost souls bound for hell. As a Christian and believer of salvation through Jesus, I felt that even I needed to go higher in God through Christ to receive a spot in Heaven when my life is done here. After checking out some of the testimonies on Divine Revelation, I have a new level of devotion to serving God and ministering to others. This is the reason I decided to pass this site forward to you and others. I pray that you will at least check it out for a few minutes and make sure you're right with God! Here is that site again: http://bit.ly/MmDixa

Please share this post with as many people in your network as possible. In The Empowerment Zone group, we aspire to go higher here on earth. However, we want to be absolutely certain we are worthy of entering the presence of God and living with Him in eternity once we leave here. Amen?
May God bless you and teach you of His grace and mercy.

Let's go higher here (on earth) so we can get there (Heaven),

What will you do with your last night on earth?

What will you do with your last night on earth?

Jerry Kelly

The last night on earth in the book of Genesis a city was to be wiped out of existence because of its total abandonment to the perversions of iniquity. Lot made a final visit to his daughters and their Sodomite husbands who had made their home in the midst of the doomed city. But his urgent pleas were ridiculed as groundless fears. The Bible records that "he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law." Genesis 19:14. They actually laughed at the old man as he wept over their unconcern. How different it would have been had they known and how eagerly they would have responded and hastened out of Sodom had they truly believed that it was their last night on earth.

But they didn't know, and they didn't believe. Most of us will never recogn...ize when that fatal moment approaches in our own lives. Many are snatched by sudden accident and death without a second's notice, much less a 24-hour alert. But suppose you did know that you had exactly two months, or two weeks, or two days. I've heard people say, "Oh, if I had that knowledge ahead of time, I could easily give up all my bad habits and make my decision to follow Christ fully." Of course, but the truth is that none of us are privy to that information, and for many who are reading these lines, that last night is much nearer than we can think or imagine.

We do the same thing and we wait for more convenient circumstances - a different job, retirement, or financial security. They make promises to themselves and others that they will surrender to Christ and obey the truth just as soon as the time is right. But don’t we know that Satan hears all of your promises and he begins to manipulate events that will make that right moment impossible.

The Bible declares that

"Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2.

When the flood came and the door of the ark closed, it did not matter how near or how far a person happened to be at that moment. Those who were one foot out-side that door were just as lost as those who were miles away. After 120 years of pleading, the Spirit of God was withdrawn from the earth, the hand of God closed the door, and the fate of a world was fixed and settled. Does that have anything to do with what is happening to the progeny of those eight ark survivors today? Indeed, it does. Because Jesus said, "As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:37.

What will you do with your life if you refuse to change your thinking? You have 24 hours or less!

GOD IS AN ON TIME GOD...HE GIVES MERCY, LONG SUFFERING, AND TIME

DON'T LET THIS BE YOUR LAST NIGHT ON EARTH!

I left the date and time on this message because time is running out....
someone last night on earth was tonight...........!!!!

"Inspired Inspiration For Today's Times"

By Beverly Thomas-Brewer

For so many years I searched asking the age old question "What is my purpose here on earth....." I had to focus and listen to my own intervoice that was small and still "You have the abilities and gifts already in you...!" I've given some talents you have overlooked because you thought they were small and insignificance and really did not mean much.... I gave you a voice to sing but because you thought it did meet the quality sound of someone elses voice you refused to sing and only blend into the backgroud.... I've given you the mind to be creative but you hid that talent refusing to believe the creator of all creator would share this gift with you.... I had to stop comparing myself to other's and really relooked and all GOD has blessed me with...  My talents are like no one else's because he made this indivdiual human like no one else he made me!



And this is our confidence, that if we pray according to His will, He will hear us, and give us what we ask for, because our desires are in agreement with His thoughts for us. (1 John 5:14-15)

"THE READING ROOM" Author's Nancy Flowers and Courtney Parker Part One

One man. Two Women. Valentine Daye is Rich’s ride or die chick from the projects while Vanessa Knight is his uptown girl, who also happens to be his co-worker at the elite Jorge Jacobs clothier.  These two women will stop at nothing to make Rich their man permanently.

Richard is on the fast track at Jorge Jacob’s, the leading fashion design clothier in the country and Vanessa plans to be by his side as he makes his ascent up the corporate ladder. However, Valentine helped build Rich’s career and was there when he was merely a drug dealer from the ‘hood. Though Valentine works in the corporate world, she maintains her street mentality and will not hesitate to fight for hers.

Valentine Daye is a product of the streets.  Raised in Lafayette Garden projects, she lost her father at the tender age of ten and her mother at the age of thirteen. She was pawned off to live with her aunt Zenobia who had enough problems and didn’t want another mouth to feed. By fifteen, the feisty and sexy young Valentine was living the life with drug lord, Colombo. Things were going well until Colombo and his crew are murdered, and Valentine is found alone and beaten by Richard Washington in the apartment from which Colombo operated.

Richard Washington, affectionately called Rich by Valentine is a handsome rugged former thug. Prior to the murder of Colombo, Rich was one of Colombo’s many street runners. However, Rich never cared for Colombo or the way he treated Valentine and doesn’t waste time picking up where Colombo left off by making Valentine his Queen.

Vanessa Knight is a woman who has everything and wants for nothing…except Richard Washington. Vanessa is the heiress to Soul Shine, a multi-million dollar hair care company founded by her grandparents. Armed with a Bachelors degree from NYU and a Master’s in Global Fashion Management from the Fashion Institute of Technology, Vanessa is willing to forgive Richard’s flawed background. Mainly that he attended a college that no one has ever heard of, her parents loathe him and he’s dating a chickenhead who is not deserving of a prize such as Richard.  However, her patience is waning and Vanessa tells Richard that he must decide what’s important to him—a flourishing career at Jorge Jacobs, where with her assistance he can become Vice President or a life where he’s constantly dwelling on a scarred past?

Valentine and Richard are a happy couple who have weathered a few minor altercations. Valentine is well aware of the fact that Richard occasionally has flings. But doesn’t every man? Valentine knows that if he has a penis, he’s bound to stray, but he always finds his way home. However, along comes Vanessa Knight, Valentine’s worst nightmare and he’s starting to lose his way.

When Daye meets Knight the plot thickens and someone walks away with a black eye and her dignity while the other winds up in jail. Richard is put to the test and must make a decision. Does he gamble and start a new life with the beautiful and conniving Vanessa who is incapable of love or does he stay with his around the way girl, Valentine who has been with him through thick and thin?

He Was My Man First is the first narrative to intertwine contemporary fiction with street lit. Fast paced and packed with drama, this novel will have a cross over appeal. The characters jump off the page and readers will find themselves rooting for Valentine and Richard to stay together, but not all stories are meant to have a happy ending.

Nancey Flowers is the author of the #1 Essence bestselling novel Shattered Vessels. She also penned No String Attached and A Fool’s Paradise, and contributed to Proverbs for the People and I Didn’t Work This Hard Just to Get Married.  Nancey lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband, Michael.
