10 Years of Marriage and Hell
[After barfing EVERTHING, I was thinking, "Wow, what if this is what Hell is like!" I have been wanting to post this for along time, with prayer, wasn't sure of it's right timing. I think now is good]
Did I get your attention? I've had a lot on my mind lately. Been actually praying what to write here on housewife. As I have been reading Revelation, my heart has been burdened for several friends and most of my family members. The main principle I grasped from Revelation is this: Worship the Lamb (Jesus) or the beast (Satan). One day, whether you believe it or not, we will give God an account of how we lived on this earth. Listen carefully, the Creator of the Universe makes no mistakes. YOU were meant to read this, will you continue with me for a moment? Jesus is wonderful and I can't imagine living without Him. I am ever so humbled to know that He took my life of sin (which includes EVERYTHING from lust, idolatry, bitterness, jealousy, etc.) These things I daily need to check myself before God, yet understanding that Jesus has victory over my sin and made me righteous, helps me to continually reconcile all things to God who made me and knows me. He has been sooo patient with me and thus I share a wonderful story of what God has done in both Mikko and I in the last 10 years of our marriage. Many of you have lost hope or are quite opposite and think is quite fine without the Lord, or even without the committment to HIM. Believe me, without Jesus. Life is pretty meaningless. Hang in there and keep reading.
Please, please, please repent, turn from your sin and confess it to God. I know friend...not tactful, not politically correct, maybe even rude. You have no idea what this means. You cannot truly love until you turn from sin and give your life to Jesus. If you don't, then there is the reality of Hell where there is weaping and nashing of teeth. I would not wish that on ANYONE. I want to save you from this. I cannot, but God can. Trust me, or rather, trust God! "Heidi, your a freak!" Look, when the Holy Spirit woke up this dead person (me) I was like new! I was not perfect, nor still am, yet growing toward holiness. There is complete freedom once you realized you have been trapped by sin and trusting yourself. Remember, God is Sooo patient! Once God opens your eyes to your sin, He will walk with you in your ups and your downs. Even when life seems totally hopeless, trust Him, He will see you through.
His grace is more than you can ever imagine! Man, tough times are like firey furnaces, persevere, God is faithfull. 2,000 years ago Jesus came in human form. Fully God and fully man. Preached the kingdom of God, Repentance from sin and belief in the Son of Man (Jesus). He was sentenced to death on cross, burried and rose again on the third day to make true what the Bible says about Him!. He commanded his disciples to go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and teaching them all that Jesus commanded (Matthew 28). For us wretched believers, this should be of great encouragement. In fact, we should preach the Gospel to ourselves everyday!
Do you want that hope? That freedom from sin? That wonderful closeness with the Savior of the world, Jesus? Then pray with me. This is not THE prayer, in fact, after my prayer and you really mean it, pray anything else that is on your heart. Let me know that this is what want and I will be praying for you and would love to help you find a Bible-believing fellowship where you can grow and have others pray and support you. The next blog post of how God moved in our marriage. Be blessed today.
"Lord, I am a sinner. Help me today to turn from my sin and live life a new through your son, Jesus. Forgive me for all I have done against you. Thank you for Jesus dying on a cross for my sins and raising again to new life. Help me to grow and listen to the Holy Spirit. Help me to find friends who believe in You and want to help me grow in this life through your word. In Jesus name, Amen."
What does that have to do with your marriage? That is the second part, stay posted...

Blessings!
I must say though, this evening God called me to have communion with Him. I spent 20minutes in prayer with God. I marvel at that..as it's not like me..and my heart is so glad as I know that it was God's doing. He was asking me to spend time with Him!!
