Hello World:
On this last day, in the evening of the month of July, I really want to finish up this series on the Door here. Going into the next month of August of this 2007, I want to go into another subject. The next subject I will talk about is heavily related to this series. So, in a way, the next series will be kind of a implied second section to all 8 post here.
Today was a wild day at work. We were very busy, and will be busy the rest of the week. So much so, until I will be working massive overtime. Since this is happening, I wanted to post some more now, rather than the end of the work week. I may just want to rest up after the work week is over. I consider when I post here to be very important, and I usually like to be fresh with energy when I am posting. It is hard to be fresh, when you work very hard throughout the week doing other things. This is something I am asking the Lord about. I would really like to put most of my energy into the things of God.
Continuing on with the "Door", as many of you know I have been talking alot about praying to Jesus, who is the Door. The reason why we should pray to Jesus is primarily for salvation.
I say primarily, because you can still talk to the Lord Jesus, once you are saved. The Lord welcomes your fellowship. I am talking about telling Jesus, you love Him, thanking Him, praising Jesus!
However, when you are saved, and ONLY for those who are saved, let your prayer petitions be made to God, the Father, in Jesus name. I know this has been kind of a long series; so, I ask that you please look at my previous post in "this" series for details, so I do not have to repeat too much about what I already went over.
Now I designed my blogsite to where, every time you come to the site or blog, no matter what or when I post, there is always a side-posting on the upper-right side of my blog. that upper side posting, which I keep always visible to see, explains how to get to Heaven.
In effect, I go into detail about how to pray to Jesus to get saved, or gain everlasting life. That side-post is a good model prayer, for everything I have been talking about in this 8- part series, for gaining everlasting life.
With the above being said concerning praying a model prayer, there is actually more involved to the actual prayer itself that everyone needs to know. In addition to praying the prayer of salvation, you have to believe in what you are saying, and you have to live according to a certain lifestyle.
If you look at the model prayer on my blog, notice that I mention the words "truly mean" and "truly accept". Well, those words truly are the difference between becoming saved from sin and death or just giving God useless lip service. Also, in many of the scriptures I mentioned throughout this series, they include the word believe or believeth. Well God is talking about a condition of our heart. In other words do you "really" mean to accept Jesus with all your heart? Do you really want to change your life and live for God, or are you just playing around, or trying to impress man.
If you believe in your heart, with sincere motives, you have to live according to God's commandments or His ways. There is a certain way you walk, talk and think. When you pray a salvation prayer, and truly mean it, God will place His Spirit inside you. When God places His Spirit in you, you become a changed man. You are spiritually born-again.
One of the first signs of this spiritual rebirth or transformation in God is that you will have love. You will love God, and you will love others, not just your family or relatives. Another sign of being saved or born again, is that you will put God first in your life, above family, wife, children, yourself, your needs, your wants, etc. With that being said, you do NOT ignore your family, or wife, children, etc; or try to use God as an excuse to get out of committments and responsibilities. God is against that. You still have a life with responsibilities to people, it is just you will put God first in everything that you do.
Another sign of being born-again is that you will exude the fruit of the Spirit which are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance(Script. Galatians 5:22-23). You will use the fruit of the Spirit when you interact with or meet others. No one is perfect, and we still make mistakes when saved, but we strive to be perfect for God.
As a born-again believer in accepting Jesus you love God so much until you want to please Him with all your strength. You will walk in the Spirit, and you will crucify the deeds of the flesh.
Now, something else very important the Lord wants me to mention, because I am being very quick here. Notice, throughout this series I use the English or Greek name of Jesus, in prayer reference. The Lord told me to say this; that He knows everybody does not speak the same language on earth. According to my Bible the Hebrew pronounciation of Jesus is Yehoshua. Some people say Yehushuah, and many say Yeshua. However, I want to point out that the correct Hebrew prononciation of Jesus should more likely be Yahoshua; or Yahushuah or Yahshua with the "Yah" at the beginning of His name. Now in Russian Jesus is translated as something else. So, basically, depending on what language you speak you may not say Jesus "to the letter", so to speak literally.
If you can say Jesus, even if His name is not in your language, that is good. Also, the Lord knows about those who can not physically speak at all. The Lord knows those who are physically deaf and who can not hear. Many of them use sign language. God is extremely flexible in this. So, for those who sincerely can not speak(confess) or hear, they can still communicate with Lord in their hearts and get saved. If you can confess with your mouth, DO IT.
God wants to make sure that we "understand" the meaning of calling on His Son and why. That Jesus/Yehushua is the Son of God, come in the flesh; who was crucified and died for our sins, "BUT" is now risen forevermore. So, when you call on Jesus in English or your native language do you, again, mean it with your heart. That is what God is looking at.
You can not fool God. He knows if you mean it or not. God knows if you are playing games and mocking the Lord with just idle words. Jesus said everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord will not enter into Heaven. Again, only those who are sincere in their hearts, and obey God's commandments.
So, YES THERE IS MORE you must do, to gain everlasting life or salvation THAN JUST SAYING A PRAYER. You have to BELIEVE in Him, and LIVE for Him with all seriousness, with no deception and no clowning around. The righteous scarcely are saved, and the Lord knows them who are His.

The Door To Everlasting Life Part 7
Hello World:
I was doing some research and came across another Christian website that is more controversial than my blog here. I thought my blog was controversial, but that site I looked into makes my blogsite look angelic. I will talk about my analysis of my research into that "Christian" site in the near future.
Also, I want to briefly mention somethings about or to Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez. I talked about Hugo Chavez several post back even complimenting him concerning some of his views. However, I have to call it the way the Lord shows me. Hugo Chavez, I know you talk about Jesus Christ, and you talk about socialism and everybody being equal, and you are against imperialism.
You openly expressed views against how America forcefully imposes its "democratic" ways on other countries. You spoke out against Bush. To some extend I think you have a point. However, some of the ways you are governing your people presently, are just as bad as those that YOU, Chavez, call evil, the devil or your enemy. It is not right to force socialism on the people of Venezuela. It is not right to seize people's personal assets.
There are some good things about socialism, but Jesus is "NOT" the socialist that you claim He is. He, Jesus was a socialist in terms of being communicative to the common people. Jesus was concerned about the poor, the sick, the less fortunate. Jesus lived a life of love and compassion, to the extend that He would share the burdens of the people around Him; and He would try to relieve their burdens and set the people free. Which He did set the captives free. Jesus, the "Door", believed that by love we should respect one another and help out our neighbor and share with one another, making sure that every decent person is allright, or doing well. That is real socialism.
Now I looked in the dictionary, and it stated the meaning of socialism as social organization based on government takeover and control of goods and services and distribution. That meaning of socialism is flat out wrong. That meaning from the dictionary is more of a dictatorship/communism type of rule. That is NOT what God wants. That is NOT what Jesus stood for. Jesus does not want people depending upon the human/man-made government for their every need. Jesus wants everyone to have equal opportunity and success, but He also encouraged spiritual growth and expansion of our faith.
Without quoting too many scriptures here, in paraphrasing; Jesus said according to your faith be it unto you. Ask and ye shall receive seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be open unto you.
In other words, if by your faith, in God, you become more successful than the next person, you can not be blamed, and should not be penalized for the other person not being on your level of faith. You do not have to wait on the next person to move there lazy behind, and fogged brain, before you, as an individual, can get somewhere successful in life.
"Some" people become successful more than others by doing right by God, and NOT by stepping on or over other people. You as a leader need to take that into account. You as a leader need to rethink how you define socialism and whether it is a wise thing in the eyes of God. I can tell you thus far, your view of socialism lines right up with the dictonary's view which is NOT OF GOD.
What you really should focus more on is developing programs to help the impoverished people rise up to a comfortable level of living. In turn, NOT taking away from those who managed to build success for themselves. Jesus constantly tells "His followers" to ask the Father in His name for things, and that with God "nothing" is impossible. There is no limit to what God will do , or where He will take those who believe on Him. God does not need you, Chavez, getting in the people's way.
The people, or in this case, Venezuelans have to be willing to go along with your ideas. To force your people or someone to do something "generally" is not good. God does not force anyone to do anything. Force is about control, and God does not control people like they are robots. God gives us free will to choose Him or not.
God wants people to willingly choose to do right. Yes, there are consequences from God if people make the wrong choice. Even if you are right, you can not force the people to do right. Force many times is of the devil. Your leftist ways are just as bad as the right-wing conservatives in America, that you consider to be your enemies. You are just as guilty as they.
Ultimately, if the people do not want to live right or live according to your rule, it is you that has to step down. If you are right, God will send judgement on the people. In other words God will deal with them accordingly. Again forcing someone to do something they do not want to do is not of God. This is why I do not support a conservative Christian right agenda, nor do I go too much to the opposite left end of things.
The main thing that people must do is accept Jesus as their Savior. There is a lifestyle, according to God's commandments and His will in accepting Jesus, which I will go into later.
However, God is about freedom, and giving people the freedom to choose, that they might choose Him and choose Jesus, and again get saved. God does give us warnings about the consequences of living wrong, or making wrong choices. God will also punish greed. There is NO everlasting reward for doing evil to get ahead, only death and eternal hell; but again, God gives us that freedom to choose that direction or not.
I want to mention briefly some information I received concerning a meeting between some very prominent American preachers and Arab government officials from various Arab countries. The meeting involves furthering the gospel to the Arab people in various Arab countries. I find this to be a good thing, that American preachers are reaching out to Arabs, because as I said several times before, Jesus loves the Arabs just like any other race of people. Jesus, the Door, came to save Arabs, Jews, Americans, Asians, everybody! Everybody who willingly will accept Him. So, it is a good thing.
I wonder if they have been reading my postings about the Arabs and Jews, and things I mentioned before about Charismatics, and the Middle East. So, this is interesting. It is something to follow along to see what happens. My only initial concern so far, is the countries that are represented in the meetings, does not include every hardline Islamic country, even those that are in the Arab region, but are not prominently Arab in ethnicity. So, the question is in "those meetings", what is the stragedy for reaching Arabs for Jesus Christ in the hard core Islamic countries. So that is something to watch.
I will have a part 8 concerning the "Door", because I did not expect to talk about Hugo Chavez at all in this series. That was not what I planned. However, He has been popping up on the radar quite a bit, and the Lord led me to go ahead and talk about Him. I may come back and discuss some more about him and Venezuela.
To all you Venezuelan peoples, Jesus loves you so very much, and Jesus cares for you. Jesus is concerned about the situations or problems that the Venezuelan people are going through. There is a certain way, as I mentioned earlier, to live for God, but in that "way", Jesus wants you Venezuela to be free in Him. I shall return.
I was doing some research and came across another Christian website that is more controversial than my blog here.

The Door To Everlasting Life Part 6
Hello World:
Since this series has gone to a part 6, I want to repeat that Jesus Christ is the Door to everlasting life. I have been conveying according to scriptures the proper way God wants us to pray for salvation. That way is by addressing or praying to Jesus in a "specific" prayer. There is some other information concerning praying for salvation that the Lord wants me to address here in regards to God.
Before I introduce some other information on the prayer for salvation, I want to mention something concerning the last scripture I presented in my part 5 post. I want to talk about St. John 11:26. When Jesus was talking to the lady, He was showing great confidence in His ability to save mankind. Jesus knew who He was and what He could do, because He knew that His Father had given Him power and authority over death.
Jesus, in the present tense, still has confidence in His ability and knows what He has been given of the Father. In talking to the lady He was asking her a question in the later part of that scripture, and that question to her, is a question to all of us; That is, "Believest thou this?" Also, that phrase was a statement that Jesus was saying, it is best that you believe that I will give whosoever will eternal life. Another way, Jesus was saying it was I will make it happen, guaranteed, if you and I believe Him and receive Him.
In paraphrasing, Jesus was saying look guys and gals; I am going to kick Satan's behind again (that is right again), then I am going to conquer death, hell and the grave. Now how do you like that? Jesus was bragging about how He was going to save mankind, and He came through!
So, Jesus was asking a question and making a statement at the same time. I have a question from the Lord to everyone of other faiths or other religions. The question from my Lord is; what person can or have made bold, guaranteed statements over and over again that he will save mankind like Jesus, and actually did what He said?
Scripture Ref; Romans 10:9; "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Verse 10; "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Even in those scriptures from the Book of Romans, Paul talks about confessing and believing in Jesus to become saved. He says to CONFESS with thy mouth the "LORD JESUS", not Father or Heavenly Father.
Now the Lord told me that many have led others to accept Jesus by praying to or addressing the Heavenly Father. Now, the Lord, God knows that those who have unsaved persons to pray Heaveny Father mean well. The Lord is merciful, and those who have done so IF THEY ARE SINCERE ARE SAVED. However, a person is supposed to meet Jesus first in prayer, and believe on Jesus and accept Jesus into his or her heart before they can know God as their Heavenly Father. Because, as I said several times before, God as the Heavenly Father is for those who are close to God, and have an intimate relationship with God.
To have that intimacy with God, you can not by-pass Jesus. If you by-pass Jesus to pray to the Heavenly Father, then who is to say that you even need Jesus to have come and died and rose for you in the first place.
So, when a sinner starts right off praying Heavenly Father, they are in essence ignoring Jesus, and Jesus purpose, and God's plan altogether. It does not matter if later, in the prayer, you tell the Heavenly Father you accept Jesus. When you do that you are doing it backwards. It supposed to be that you come to Jesus then afterwards come to the Father. This is "exactly" what the scripture says.
It is a matter of how you address the person of God. With that being said. Some people lead others to pray "Dear God" or "God I am a sinner, I believe in your Son Jesus. I accept Him into my heart and ask Jesus to save me from my sins." Others lead people to pray addressing God first and then they address Jesus in prayer in asking for forgiveness and salvation. It is okay to pray to God in those formats to receive Jesus for salvation. Remember earlier in this series I mentioned that God is everybody's God, but He is not everybody's Heavenly Father. So, you can pray to God, but you still have to acknowledge Jesus, and ask Jesus into your heart.
You still have to speak to Jesus directly in the salvation prayer. You have to speak directly to Jesus to gain a personal relationship with Jesus. You have to allow His Spirit to come into you. Once you have a relationship with Jesus, then you are "adopted" as a child of the Heavenly Father, not before accepting Jesus, or on your way to accepting Jesus, but after accepting Jesus Christ. I thought I would be done here, but I still have more to say by the grace of God in the upcoming part 7 post.
Since this series has gone to a part 6, I want to repeat that Jesus Christ is the Door to everlasting life. I have been conveying according to scriptures the proper way God wants us to pray for salvation. That way is by addressing or praying to Jesus in a "specific" prayer.

The Door To Everlasting Life Part 5
Hello World:
There appears to be some good news coming out of Iran and North Korea. Both countries appear to be taking steps to be peaceful in the world. Something that the western media, and mainstream christian media does not want to broadcast. Existing problems in the Middle East could easily spiral further out of control, and anything good or positive that Iran, or Arab countries are doing to be peaceful should be talked about and encouraged.
At the same time , over in Asia, the North Korean government is doing a good thing in abandoning its nuclear program, so its' people can receive much needed humanitarian aid. Bread before bombs, and water before war. There is still way more work that needs to be done everywhere. I will continue to talk about these world issues as God leads me to do. In hopes that people will read these posts and take action to do what is right according to what GOD WANTS done.
I ask that the Iranian government and the North Korean government enter through the "Door". I offer Jesus Christ, the only everlasting life giver and only risen Savior, to Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il and Kim yong-nam.
In my previous post I talked about one way how you can get to know someone; and in the case of this series I have been talking about knowing Jesus. I mentioned how you can call a person by name or title to get their attention. Hence, once you have their attention you can further communicate with them and thereby, get to know them a little. Now another way you or I can get to know someone is by researching them. We can examine their life, or what they do. Well, in researching Jesus, the primary resource would be a Christian Bible. Within the Bible, to be more specific, the Book of St. John is really, really good at explaining who Jesus is, how He lived and what He expects of His followers.
Now, I also mentioned previously about how in order to know God, you must first know Jesus. However, in speaking about knowing God, you can know about God without knowing Jesus. However, and this is very important, you can NOT know God personally, or intimately without Jesus. So, when you read my post saying to know God, you must first know Jesus, that is true, but I am talking about having a personal relationship with God, with Him being your Father and you being His child.
There are two other aspects to knowing someone; you can know a little about someone, or you can really be close to someone and know alot about them. One way is knowing from a distance or far, and the other is very close family and friendship type of knowing. You or I can also know about God by researching God through the Bible just like we would research Jesus. However, to know ABOUT God is not enough.
Now with all of that being said, I need to mention that I will go in length talking about knowing God very soon in my next series after this one. Unless, something comes up, and the Lord leads me to discuss something different; I will be really talking alot about God. Also I believe that coming series will have more scriptures I believe than this one.
Getting back to the "Door To Everlasting Life, I have more scriptures that will testify that we all need to call on Jesus to be saved.
Scripture Reference St. Matthew Chapter 9: Verse 2;"And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."
Verse 3; "And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth."
Verse 4; "And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"
Verse 5; "For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?"
Verse 6; " But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,(then saith he to the sick of the palsy,)Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house."
Verse 7; "And he arose, and departed to his house."
In referencing those scriptures 2 through 7 from Matthew, Jesus comes out and makes a bold action and forgives a very sick man of all his sins. There were other people there, along with the scribes and religious folks. The scribes and many of the religious folks were thinking to themselves, not talking out loud. They were saying, "what!" "Who do you think you are.""You do not have authority to forgive any sins." I am paraphrasing those quotes of what some of the people were thinking about Jesus.
So Jesus being filled with the Holy Spirit without measure, could read their thoughts, and exposed what they were thinking, and what kind of heart they had. So, Jesus tells them, Okay. So you think I am wrong. I will prove to you that I have authority from God, My Father to forgive sins on earth, by next performing this miracle by healing the man. Note that Jesus said "to forgive sins on earth". Then Jesus speaks to the man to arise and be healed of the palsy; and the man was healed. Hence, Jesus proved His authority of God to save man.
Scripture Reference St. John 11:25; Jesus said unto her, " I am the ressurection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though He were dead, yet shall he live.
Verse 26; "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
Jesus, from His own words, tells a lady he that "believeth" on Him(Jesus) shall live and never die. The Lord is leading me to say more in the upcoming part 6.
There appears to be some good news coming out of Iran and North Korea. Both countries appear to be taking steps to be peaceful in the world. Something that the western media, and mainstream christian media does not want to broadcast. Existing problems in the Middle East could easily spiral further out of control, and anything good or positive that Iran, or Arab countries are doing to be peaceful should be talked about and encouraged.
At the same time , over in Asia, the North Korean government is doing a good thing in abandoning its nuclear program, so its' people can receive much needed humanitarian aid. Bread before bombs, and water before war. There is still way more work that needs to be done everywhere. I will continue to talk about these world issues as God leads me to do. In hopes that people will read these posts and take action to do what is right according to what GOD WANTS done.
I ask that the Iranian government and the North Korean government enter through the "Door". I offer Jesus Christ, the only everlasting life giver and only risen Savior, to Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il and Kim yong-nam.
In my previous post I talked about one way how you can get to know someone; and in the case of this series I have been talking about knowing Jesus. I mentioned how you can call a person by name or title to get their attention. Hence, once you have their attention you can further communicate with them and thereby, get to know them a little. Now another way you or I can get to know someone is by researching them. We can examine their life, or what they do. Well, in researching Jesus, the primary resource would be a Christian Bible. Within the Bible, to be more specific, the Book of St. John is really, really good at explaining who Jesus is, how He lived and what He expects of His followers.
Now, I also mentioned previously about how in order to know God, you must first know Jesus. However, in speaking about knowing God, you can know about God without knowing Jesus. However, and this is very important, you can NOT know God personally, or intimately without Jesus. So, when you read my post saying to know God, you must first know Jesus, that is true, but I am talking about having a personal relationship with God, with Him being your Father and you being His child.
There are two other aspects to knowing someone; you can know a little about someone, or you can really be close to someone and know alot about them. One way is knowing from a distance or far, and the other is very close family and friendship type of knowing. You or I can also know about God by researching God through the Bible just like we would research Jesus. However, to know ABOUT God is not enough.
Now with all of that being said, I need to mention that I will go in length talking about knowing God very soon in my next series after this one. Unless, something comes up, and the Lord leads me to discuss something different; I will be really talking alot about God. Also I believe that coming series will have more scriptures I believe than this one.
Getting back to the "Door To Everlasting Life, I have more scriptures that will testify that we all need to call on Jesus to be saved.
Scripture Reference St. Matthew Chapter 9: Verse 2;"And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."
Verse 3; "And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth."
Verse 4; "And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"
Verse 5; "For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?"
Verse 6; " But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,(then saith he to the sick of the palsy,)Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house."
Verse 7; "And he arose, and departed to his house."

The Door To Everlasting Life Part 4
Hello World:
I guess you can say I am making a big deal out of the "Door", and going through the "Door", Jesus to have everlasting life. I had to go back and make some edits to my previous posts in this series. The Lord wanted me to make this subject a little more clearer to people. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, in talking about this subject, there is really only one way I see to do it, and that is showing and explaining plainly, specifically, and exactly what God said in His Word or the scriptures. By His mercy and grace, I am able to see plainly His Words, and understand them, and explain them.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. The Lord wants me to help everybody understand His Way. The Lord God's way is all things Jesus. We all must "FIRST" get to know Jesus. Jesus is God who came in the flesh and lived as a man. Jesus, who lived and died, has overcome this physical world; and has defeated death, Hell and the grave and is now RISEN from the dead. Jesus is alive forever more and is now glorified with God the Father. Jesus is now the Risen Lord and Risen Savior.
To know God, a person must know Jesus first. How do you get to know Jesus? How do you get to know anyone? Well one way is you call out the person's name or call out their name; or you call them to get there attention. If you do not call out to them, you will not get there attention, and they may ignore you. If they or the person you are trying to reach ignore you, because you did not call them, you may miss out on something good. So you have to call out to the person. You have to say "JESUS", or say, "JESUS SAVE ME". Or you can say, "JESUS HELP ME", "LORD JESUS". Now the key to saying all of that is you got to be really interested in Jesus.
There is power in His name. Jesus will respond if you truly want Him to, and you mean what you are saying. There are people from my research who were in desperate need of help, and cried out to Jesus, and instantly Jesus showed up, and rescued them. There have been people who literally were falling into Hell, and they cried out to Jesus and He grabbed them and saved them from falling into Hell. Jesus is a Deliverer. Jesus delivers souls from hell, and hellish situations. If you know Jesus, you will testify that He is your Deliverer. All power in Heaven and earth has been given to Jesus.
Scripture Reference Matthew 28:18; And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "ALL POWER is given unto me in Heaven and in earth."
Unlike the name of Jesus which brings salvation and deliverance, there is no other name that can bring salvation and deliverance to mankind. Unlike the person Jesus, who conquered death, is risen and alive forevermore, there is no other risen savior.

The Door To Everlasting Life Part 3
Hello World:
This is part 3 about the "Door". As you all remember, according to the scriptures in the previous post, Jesus said that He is the door to Salvation. I must add emphasis here not to appear angry, but strong emphasis here. Please note that I am not being angry when I capitalize the next sentences.
WHEN A PERSON PRAYS THE PRAYER OF SALVATION, HE OR SHE MUST PRAY TO JESUS, OR REFERENCE GOD TO SAVE THEM. HOWEVER, GENERALLY, THE PRAYER OF SALVATION TO JESUS IS THE "MAIN" PRAYER THAT A PERSON PRAYS TO JESUS. AFTER THAT PRAYER, THE PERSON IS SPIRITUALLY BORN-AGAIN AND NOW CAN PRAY DIRECTLY TO THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER FOR ALL FUTURE PETITIONS, INCLUDING FORGIVENESS.
ONLY "AFTER" BECOMING BORN AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO ADDRESS, PRAY AND ASK THE HEAVENLY FATHER ANYTHING "IN" JESUS NAME, BUT NOT TO JESUS.
Again, I am not angry by capitalizing all those words above. I just want to emphasize what I am saying, so that people will not lull over those words when reading it.
In St. John 10:25; Jesus answered them, "I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me."
Verse 26; "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you."
Verse 27; "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."
Verse 28; "And I give unto them Eternal Life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Verse 29; "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
Verse 30; "I and my Father are one."
St. John 10:28, Jesus said "I give unto them eternal life".
Verse 29; Jesus says that the father has given them to Him, so that He(Jesus) can give them eternal life.
Jesus said that "I" and "My Father" are one. This means that they are together, with the 3rd Person/Holy Spirit, in agreement on how the world should get saved. They are in unity, and there is NO confusion between them on this. Some people may "claim" to be confused about this, or may have a "hard time" accepting this. Nevertheless, I assure you God is not confused. God is not fooled by the hearts of men and women.
He set things up to go a certain WAY, and it is imperative that we follow God's WAY if we want to live. If you do not understand, do you care to understand, or do you really want to understand?
I thank God that He has given me an understanding of what He has done and will do. I thank God for making the scripture meanings plain, or open, or clear to me. He will do the same for anyone else who will allow Him if they accept the "Truth".
I have no excuses for why I can not accept God's way. I do not want to have excuses for not accepting God's way; nor do I want to point fingers and look at others faults for why I can not get my life right with the true God, through Jesus Christ. I believe I will say more about "excuses" at another time.
There are other scriptures in the book of St. John, that I mentioned before that tells that Jesus is also the only begotten of the Father. Which means that Jesus, literally, came forth from the Heavenly Father.
Getting back to the Heavenly Father or Father. Notice how in the scriptures when Jesus is talking to the Jews and mostly religious people who question everything He does, He keeps saying "My Father". He never says to them "Our Father".
Now comes the question as to why does He keep saying my father when talking to the people, and not our Father? However, when He taught His disciples how to pray, He told them to say "Our Father". This is because the disciples had already accepted Him. Since the disciples had already accepted Him, His Father and the disciples Father are the same. However, if a person has not accepted Jesus, as God's Son, like God wants everyone to do, then that person has no Heavenly Father. The person without Jesus in their heart does not serve the true God and Father that Jesus is talking about. The God that sent Jesus, in the first place, is not everyone's Heavenly Father. In other words, "Our Father" or "Heavenly Father" is not a relative term for anybody and everybody. To use the words Heavenly Father or Our Father, or even to pray the Lord's prayer is a massive waste of your time and breathe if you have not first accepted Jesus Christ as God's Son and as your personal savior. I am not done yet. There is more information I want to reveal concerning praying for salvation coming in part 4.
This is part 3 about the "Door". As you all remember, according to the scriptures in the previous post, Jesus said that He is the door to Salvation. I must add emphasis here not to appear angry, but strong emphasis here. Please note that I am not being angry when I capitalize the next sentences.

The Door To Everlasting Life Part 2
Hello World:
This is part two concerning my second series about Jesus, and praying to Him to get saved, to get to Heaven and to the Heavenly Father. The road to salvation, or everlasting life goes through Jesus Christ. The road to Heaven goes through Jesus Christ. To get to the Heavenly Father, you "first" must go through Jesus Christ. I am being very specific there. There is no way around Jesus if you want to live forever.
When I discuss salvation, everlasting life, and Heaven, I am talking all things spiritual. I am not talking about the physical or natural world. Many people think that living forever, means some way to continue in the physical body forever. No. The physical world is only a temporary lower realm of existence. The physical realm is limited in length, love, wisdom, knowledge, freedom, power, happiness, joy and peace. Everyone's physical body is limited being in the physical realm. Because of these limitations, our human physical body will cease to exist in a time frame of 70 to 120 years average. Our limited physical body was acquired when Adam sinned against God. When Adam disobeyed God, the punishment was to "become" a physical being, and be subject to physical laws and afterwards death.
No matter how smart you are or no matter how rich you are, not enough brains, money or power in the world can make the human body live forever. When your physical body dies, your soul or the real you continues on. The question is does your soul continue on into everlasting life with God, or to everlasting punishment in Hell, away from God. Your soul is the spiritual part of you. The soul is the most important part of you. That is why it is important that you choose to make the right decision for your soul. This is where Jesus comes in to play. The right decision for you being doing what is best for the "real you", and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. When you call upon Jesus to save you, you will gain everlasting life with God up in Heaven. So everlasting life is not a physical state of being, but a spiritual state of being.
Continuing on about going through Jesus, the Door; According to St. John Chapter 3: Verse 17; "For God sent not His SON into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world THROUGH HIM(through the door, Jesus) might be saved.
Okay that scripture of St. John 3:17 I add-lived it a little. I usually quote scriptures just as they are printed. However, here I felt led of the Lord to emphasize SON and THROUGH HIM, those words are not capitalized like that in actual print, but I want to emphasize the direction of what God is saying about who, what and where to go to get saved. Hence, according to that scripture, not through the Heavenly Father directly, but "THROUGH HIM", Jesus.
Another thing, sometimes when I am posting, the Lord will lead me to capitalize words to emphasize His message. I know that generally, when a person does that it means they are yelling at you. I do not want people to think that is always the case with me. I certainly do not yell in anger alot when posting capitals. The Lord tells me to use that method to make the words stand out among other words. That way you the reader can grab the meaning; especially when there are alot of words to read as in my long postings. So, only a few times, I have yelled awhile back, but generally it is for word-standout and clarity of message.
Alot of what I have been describing in this post I mention a while back in my archives of my Jesus Series. I encourage everyone to read my earlier archive post, where I talked about the spirit world and physical world. I talked specifics about how Adam fell out of fellowship with God, and went from being impervious to pain and supernatural, to becoming subject to the physical laws. I also talked about Jesus in existence back then, and how He had a title other than Jesus, to which God told Adam He would send to save Adam and his descendants(US). So, in those archive posts I really went into the purpose of Jesus Christ.
There is more I want to say in my next post on the Door. Last week was an incredibly busy week for me. I was struggling to make it here to post, because I was very busy and extremely tired. I also had to contact several other people, and was doing alot of writing outside of here. I am researching somethings, and monitoring a situation that has not been given alot of attention, but will affect everyone on the planet. The Lord has continued to speak to me and showing me things, at the same time I have been in major battles with the Enemy. I did something major for the Lord, and the Lord told me, that satan really can NOT stand my guts. The Lord told me that satan always hated my guts and my existence, but because of strategies I use that have been defeating satan's plans and attacks, his hatred for me has really grown. So, the enemy has gotten worse in his attacks against me. I respect what satan can do, because he has done alot of very bad things to me, others and throughout history. What satan has done can not be denied. Nevertheless, ultimately he will not win, so I do not fear satan. So, I am on guard, and just continue to trust in the Lord no matter what happens. Ultimately God Almighty will win the war.
