HELL IS REAL

Guest Writer: Pastor June Lutwama

When I got born again, I read a book by a lady called Mary Baxter about her visitation to hell. Jesus took her to hell every day for thirty days. And heaven. I  recently found this lady's messages, interviews, and such on YouTube.  I quickly got in line as she described how horrible hell was. How real it is and what happens there. 

I also bumped into messages by Bill Wiese. Jesus took him to hell for 23 minutes. He describes pretty much the same things. 

The purpose for these two to go to hell was to tell others so they may repent. It hurts God to send people to hell. He is trying to keep people out of hell. You avoid hell by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. 

We often don't take life after death seriously.  Some go as far as saying there is no hell because a good God can't punish. But hell was created for the devil and his demons. Humans will go there simply because they haven't been cleansed by the blood of Jesus by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.  

There are many scriptures of hell, but here is one. 

Revelation 21:8 ESV

[8] But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” 

That is pretty graphic. Jesus told this story: 

Luke 16:19-31 ESV

[19]  “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. [20] And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, [21] who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. [22] The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, [23] and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. [24] And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ [25] But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. [26] And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ [27] And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— [28] for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ [29] But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ [30] And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ [31] He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

This story clarifies that there is a nice place called heaven and a place of torture , hell. Once you go there you can not come back. 

You and I need to make the right decisions and live right.  Jesus is the way to heaven.  Jesus gives eternal life. 

We are preparing for our Soul Winning Week next week.  Prepare to tell others about Jesus,  the way to heaven.  Give your life to Christ if you have not.
