The Journey To Heaven

Today, Jesus told me that the journey to heaven is like climbing a staircase.

God can tell you to let go of something and then you will feel like giving it up. However, the devil will come in and try to discourage you from obeying . He will start reminding you of other things you have still not repented of in order to discourage you from obeying this particular instruction.

He will say to your mind, “But you still have not repented of this and of that. What’s the point of obeying this because If you were to die, you’d still go to hell. Then what’s the point of obeying this particular one? Just wait, you’ll repent of it when you also repent of the other things so that you can be completely ready to go to heaven and you would not have wasted your time. ”

To us, that sounds very logical. We know that the devil is a liar and the Father of all lies. This means that he can twist lies in such a way that will seem like complete truth and that will sound very logical to us.

Here’s what Jesus told me. He said that going to heaven is like a climbing a staircase. Imagine that you are standing still on one stair step and you are not going up. So God wants to help you go up and he tells you to let go something that you’re not doing right in your life .

If you obey, it means you have moved one step higher on the staircase to heaven and you are no longer on the same step you were on.

Now, this is what Satan doesn’t want you to know. He wants to make you believe that your obedience will have no impact. He wants to make you believe that you will not achieve anything through your obedience as you still have many other sins you have not stopped and so that stopping this particular one will not benefit you in any way. He is scared that you will go a step higher and you will eventually will reach the top through obedience and get saved. So he wants to keep you stagnant on one step. Apart from that, he will start discouraging you further and will start telling you “Just start doing other things which are sinful since you still have not yet repented of this and that.. what’s the use, after all if you were to die today, you would go to hell. You’ll repent of everything all at once. ”

What he wants is not only for you to remain at one point but also to start climbing down the staircase by doing other things. He wants to keep you from climbing up as much as possible and wants you as further away from the top as possible.

Today, know that each that each time you obey and let go of a sin, you are climbing a step higher. Don’t believe the devil who wants you to believe that your obedience is of no use. After that, you will again climb a step higher when you obey regarding something else and you will continuously keep climbing. Also, the higher you climb, the easier you will find it to obey in other things because each step you climb up, you will be drawing closer to God. However, Satan wants you to keep climbing down the stairs by lying to you.

So don’t give room to the devil. Resist Him and obey. God will help you.
