‘Going to Heaven or Hell?’
‘Freewill and Lush Waiting Rooms?’ Part 5
Note: Our final article of the in depth 5 part series of ‘What Happens When We Die.’ Further details see previous 4 blogs.
By Stephen Bennett (January 25th…May - 2026)
Every human asks the proverbial question at some point in their life. “Where do I go when I die?” Many don’t know or even care. They just live life, plugged into many ideas and cultural responses to the answer.
“Aww I dunno, I’m a good person, do the right thing by everyone, yeah heaven, ok, but… I dunno!”
Some are driven by political bias or social media thought. “Aww I’m going to Hell man to party… guffaw!” or “That’s all Christian and Jewish s#@%*, there’s nothing when you die! Live now… to the max man!”
Many settle for cults or groups, feeling accepted and a sense of belonging, going with the flow, believing what they’re told without much thought.
THE ISSUE: THERE IS… absolute TRUTH, and your own gift… FREEWILL, and at some point in life you have to choose either way what you believe. That’s why you’re here on earth! No one can do it for you! By the way, there is a massive spiritual war for this decision… YES, there is a devil, and he wants you to go and burn in unrelenting Hell with him… forever! YES, there is a God too, and He really wants you to be WITH HIM, in a far greater and wonderful place to fulfill your purpose and save your soul… for an incredibly beautiful eternity!
Freewill Choice
THE REASON: Why God gave you individual freewill… He wants you to choose Him purely from a heart of love, faith, belief and find the wonder of who He TRULY is. He wants you to understand… what He has done and prepared in this crazy construct of life, the universe and the spiritual world. He has a long term eternal plan for humanity… but you have to choose to be strong, wise, intentional, intelligent and thoughtful, about the precious gift of life you have been given! There is no more greater empowerment than when ‘you KNOW!’ We’re not intended by God to be AI driven transhuman robots!
God created humanity… to have individual autonomy of creative thought, heart and spirit, yet powered by His Holy Spirit, to live the life He desires and knows is best for people; after all, HE MADE US. It is not His design for us to live oppressed by evil, controlled, restricted, abused or live in fear. That is the fruit of a deceiving devil, who cajoled mankind over 6000 years ago, into an endless journey; to choose for themselves what is good and evil! Look back at history, how did we go?! God allowed it, but His intention is a future of freedom, liberty, joy, power and eternal purpose for millions.
Yes, God had to allow the freewill of all humanity to be fully tested over these last 6000 years or so, but we are in a time now where He has billions who truly believe, and this groaning old tired world will end soon. Jesus will return to actually live with the people who have chosen Him with complete faith and trust in JESUS CHRIST:“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8b).
These are people who are spiritually hot! Their character has ‘heat;’ they are passionate, faith thinkers. ‘Lukewarm’ is not in their vocabulary. “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth” (Revelation 3:16). They certainly don’t want to be in the ‘green steam, of the gushing God spewing stream.’ God wants hot believers, on fire for Him; no compromise. He will take us all into an incredible creative eternal purpose, that we only get a glimpse of in the current biblical narrative. All the details are not there as yet, for everything has to have faith in this journey with the Lord, where we believe, trust and know God is good, incredibly amazing, and will keep His word always.
When you truly understand who God is, and the incredible vicious warring battle there has been in past millenniums for His Truth, you will really want to know… ‘where you go when you die’… with genuine intelligent enquiry. Dying is not the end, but a beginning. However there is massive consequence when you reject the Eternal Being, ‘Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and the End,’ who created everything you live in (Revelation 1:8a). The wrong decision will be devastating. I mean… maximum DEVO!
So your eternity, is in your hands, for you will die, and you have nothing to lose in TRULY knowing where you go. To die without faith and belief is absolutely catastrophic, to die as a believer is the smartest wise choice you will ever make in life! So put your short gift of life fully in the Lord’s very long, big hands! The creative eternity promised is beyond whatever we as humans can imagine! I compel you to know where you are going when you pass away from the construct of the world! It will be a relief, when YOU KNOW… “without doubt you will live forever!” That is God’s promise to you, one and all… That is what this 5 part series is all about…
Going to Heaven
You want to know you are going to heaven? Here’s the way to get there. In the Bible, going to heaven requires focusing on faith in Jesus Christ, His salvation for us, and the promise of eternal life to live with God in His presence forever! In a place with no more suffering, pain, sorrow, tears, evil, oppression and all the devil’s ways… they will all be gone! Faith in Jesus Christ the ONLY Saviour of this world is the ONLY WAY to secure this eternal future… Selah.
You can’t do this any other way! No other religion, cult, group, their false leaders or otherwise can do this for you. They are not god’s or the creators of this world, they are just men and women led astray. They have no power to affect your God given eternity, except to propel you to the evil dark side by deception. It exists to deceive you from TRUTH that can save your life and soul; if you don’t believe… the biblical text tells you clearly where you end up... it ain’t pretty! So listen to these promises from God…
Promises when You Go…
“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, NIV) Straight forward; simple… no eternal perishing here…
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Act 4:12, NIV) No other is… NO OTHER… that is, yes, no other!
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6, ESV) Jesus is the ONLY DOOR… ‘thyra’
“Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be SAVED” (Romans 10:9 ESV) No maybe’s… YOU will be saved…
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20. NIV) You get free citizenship in heaven by faith in Jesus… no passport , bio-metrics, visa’s or socials needed… you are… ‘the saved passport!’
“My Father’s house has many rooms (mansions)… I am going there to prepare a place for YOU... I will come back and take you to be with Me” (John 14:1-3, NIV) YOU will be with God, and He has a house made just for you… no interest or a mortgage… it’s $ free!
“Jesus answered him (the criminal on the cross), ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise (Heaven)’ ” (Luke 23:43, NIV) One day you will meet that criminal… who has completely changed…
“He (Jesus) will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4, NIV) DEATH is the old way… it’s finished… swallowed up forever…!
“But in keeping with HIS PROMISE we are looking forward to a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH, where righteousness dwells” (2 Peters 3:13, NIV) All incredible real truth from the Bible. Only… ‘The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God” (Psalm 14:1, 53:1). Good question? Why be a fool? All that is coming is BRAND spanking NEW!
What Happens When we die?
Your destination after death… is according to your faith in Jesus Christ. If you believe in Jesus and have been reborn in your heart through the Holy Spirit, your soul/spirit will immediately enter the presence of the Lord in heaven (paradise). Your dead physical body rests in the ground, or wherever it was dealt with… awaiting future resurrection.
Are you going to heaven? Lush! However… Non-believers who have been fools in rejecting belief, die and that’s it… no second chance! You go to the place of waiting torment (Hades) before final judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). Are you going to Hell? Not lush at all! Think… please…! There is NO FENCE to sit on, or NEUTRAL GROUND…!
What Happens for a Believer When They Die?
When you die your soul/spirit is immediately with the Lord in heaven, as Jesus told the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). Lush! The Apostle Paul spoke of death for believers as being, “away (absent) from the body and at home (present) with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8). Lush!
When your soul is ‘absent from its body sleeve,’ and in heaven’s paradise, your physical body remains in the grave until the first resurrection, when it is raised imperishable and is reunited with your soul in a spiritual eternal everlasting body (1 Corinthians 15:50-54). ‘So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory”’ (V54). Heaven is a place without pain, tears, or death! Death was ‘gulped down’ in the biggest Holy swallow ever, by the Lord Jesus Himself! The result of the immensely profound sacrifice of what Jesus did and won on the cross! Deeply plush and very Lush!
What Happens for an Unbeliever When They Die?
People who totally and repeatedly reject Jesus Christ while on earth, will face immediate, temporary judgment, in Hades / Sheol / The Pit, the hot, very unpleasant waiting place of torment. Not lush at all!
I was told by someone today that God doesn’t judge… wrong… when you understand and believe the scriptures, HE HAS TO. Because our freewill puts us on the line, He gave the conditions; believe or not - your choice. There are consequences either way. So judgement has to be righteous; ie RIGHT, or to makes things right… which is the whole narrative of the Bible from beginning to end. The secret of the end though… It’s a new beginning for believers!
The Unbeliever: After many many years waiting completely dead; aka no comuunication with anything or anyone spiritually or on earth (including the full 1000 year millennium period of resurrected believers reigning and spending time with Jesus preparing for full eternity) (Revelation 20:4-6). Then unbelievers will be raised to life and released from the non lush waiting rooms of Hades, Death, and the Oceans, for the final Great White Throne Judgment. Their names will not be in the Book of Life, and they are and will be, all cast into the lake of fire to be tormented with unquenchable fire for ever and ever (Revelation 20:11-15). Not lush at all… not a pleasant green room with snacks, but a deeply sad final twist… it’s only gigantically worse!
Main Themes When You Die
When you die, death is spoken of in the Bible as sleeping, that is, the physical dead body ‘resting’ in the ground (or however it was disposed of), while the soul/spirit is conscious in another waiting realm until resurrection. The Bible says, the spirit returns to God who gave it… for judgment, good or bad. “Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed (when you die)… Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it” (Ecclesiastes 12:6-7). The ‘body sleeve’ origins… is just dust particles…
The Apostle Paul said, “For to me, TO LIVE IS CHRIST and TO DIE IS GAIN. But if I live on in the flesh (stay alive), this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart (this world) and be with Christ, WHICH IS FAR BETTER” (Philippians 1:21-23).
Paul knew that dying was ok, and not to worry about it, just a transition. He’d already been to the third heaven and seen the wonders of it’s paradise, things he didn’t even have the words for, it was so amazing! (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). He knew the highest living purpose in this life was through and for Jesus Christ. Dying was his GAIN to the ultimate eternal future with a God who is good and wonderful; all of that made absolute sense to him. The choice was too hard for Paul (to leave or stay), but in wisdom he knew to stay and be alive on earth was more fruitful for others, but eventually to be with Christ forever was just… well, way better. But he could wait a few more years for his eternity…
When you choose Jesus Christ as number one in your life, the eternal future is bright, promising, and full of mysterious and wonderful creative possibilities. Choosing not to believe is NOT ‘way better’ but way way way devastatingly worse!
Don’t choose the Highway to Hell because of pride, tradition, ignorance or what anybody else says to pressure you. Choose what YOU KNOW IS RIGHT. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). “Therefore if the Son (Jesus) makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36) Indeed, yes Indeed!
Important story:
Mary Magdalene the First Resurrection Witness of Jesus
When Jesus rose from the dead, his disciple Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Him outside the tomb after His resurrection (John 20:14-17). She thought he was the gardener until He spoke! In her excitement she tried to cling to Him. ‘Jesus said to her,“Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father (in heaven’s paradise); but go to My brethren (disciples) and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God’” (that is, the same place where believers will all now go, including the Lord Himself!)(John 20:17).
Jesus was telling her, ‘I’m here. Yes I’m resurrected, I’m no longer dead but have conquered sin, death and the devil, and have returned to you as I said. But I’m not leaving yet as I have things to do, so you don’t need to hang on to me, just go and tell everyone I have risen and I’m soon going to heaven’s paradise to be with the Father.’ In obedience she did all what He said (John 20:18)!
Think: An aside… Jesus had just died a horrendous death 3 days before on the cross, drained of His blood, torn to shreds, taking on all the sins of the world past present future. He’d then been down to Hades to get the righteous in prison and release them, as a declaration that he had total complete victory over sin death and the devil’s works. He ascended and soared up to the highest heaven and showed them all His glory, giving appointed gifts to humanity of leaders that will serve and help build HIS Church strong into the future, until His return to earth.‘Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, to equip believers for their ministry’ (Ephesians 4:8-11). Funny how many churches have got that so totally wrong! But that is another discussion… However, be careful what you give your life to…!
Jesus rose from the dead, morphed himself into a gardener (talk about divine recovery), probably having a chat to the 2 angels in white who were there, just chillin’ and waiting to see who would turn up passionately believing! A few of the disciples actually came first, but seeing He wasn’t in the tomb they went home for dinner! BUT, a woman… dedicated, who loved Him! Mary Magdalene… a forgiven ‘written off’ sinner… Just by ‘Being There’ (btw: great Peter Sellers movie 1979 Prime!) she created a ‘life first for herself’ - The one who was THE first to see the risen resurrected Saviour of the World! What was He doing? Just hangin’ out with the angels in the cool of the garden waiting for the first fruits!’
Mary loved Him so much that her first reaction was to grab hold of Him and not let go, as she didn’t want to lose Him. As said, she was also blessed to be the first person recorded in history to see Jesus after His resurrection.
Be a First!
We all must consider this story of His death and rising as real, and not just as an historical record or story. As it is pivotal to our faith in understanding that Jesus totally destroyed death, sin and the devil’s work and rose as the firstfruits from that experience, and through our faith in Him we are made alive too! Now ALIVE IN CHRIST forever! And become a part of that as His further firstfruits, as we overcome death WITH Him… by faith!
This means eternal life for us when we die! Death has no hold on us, and the law of the sin nature in all our fallen bodies has been repositioned in God’s POV, as pure white, washed away forever as far as the East is from the West… what a remarkable miracle! Sin, not to be thought about or used against you to condemn, by anyone or yourself! But learn to live in His grace and do life well IN CHRIST from a pure heart! Absolutely NO other idea of religion comes remotely close to this real TRUTH. In fact it makes them ALL look so pallid and FALSE in light of the TRUTH of Jesus Christ.
You may be religious and go to church or some other form of ‘spiritual pursuit’ but Q: Do you really know Jesus Christ God by the Holy Spirit and His power, and love Him enough to always hold and cling on to Him regardless of what you go through and experience in life? Why? So you can fulfil your purpose on earth like Apostle Paul, and be fruitful for the kingdom until we pass on to eternity! You can’t do it without the Holy Spirit! There is no Christianity without Him! No holy Spirit = Powerless empty false religion!
Think: These amazing scriptures that Apostle Paul wrote about, is what Mary Magdalene witnessed first hand, in real time, and saw coming to pass before her very eyes. She saw the Conqueror of Death in that tomb garden, who then had the ownership keys of death, that He wrenched from satan’s grip. Enabling those who believe in Him, to just fall asleep when they die and be in position to wait for a new resurrected eternal spiritual body and live forever. Because being IN CHRIST we are made alive! We are the ones alive now 2026+; when we will be a witness to His second coming and will be with Him, remaining alive… forever. Remarkable!
“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man (Adam and Eve) came death, by Man (Jesus) also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.” The End-Times we are in NOW! (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). This is truly amazing!
God is PREPARING FOR YOU TO BE WITH HIM
You will go there…! “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms (mansions). If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going… Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME’ " (John 14:1-4,6). Your heart can be forever at peace when you are a believer…Why! No one can connect or come to God EXCEPT THROUGH Jesus Christ Son of God, Saviour of the World. ALL the other religions and their purported god deities are false and powerless, period!
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Must be incredible beyond comprehension! Be at peace…
Therefore…
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
Today I encourage you… Live a life chosen, laying up eternal treasures in heaven through how you live and prioritise life, and the activities you do on earth for Him, led by the Spirit; there is great reward living life His way, it is where your heart should truly be…. if you believe… Remember: He has gone to prepare an eternal place for you…
In the World But Not of the World
‘Set your mind on things above, NOT on the earth’ (Colossians 3:2).
The art of life is to be in the world but not of it! How do you do that? It’s not easy! Ok… How can that be done? You can’t do or understand this in your own strength, except by the Spirit of God, through the words of scripture…
‘Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him’ (1 John 2:15).
‘I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them (the disciples), because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world’ (John 17:14-16).
In Christ, the position is, we ‘are not of this world,’ our citizenship is in heaven, the supernatural world. “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body’ (Philippians 3:2-21). In Christ, we are the true ‘aliens’ passing through this world! ‘For we are aliens and pilgrims before You’ (1 Chronicles 22:2).
Therefore being in this world as a believer, means to not get caught up following the world’s ways, values, beliefs and behaviours which are generally not Godly, but to follow Jesus and do what the word of God says, in regard in how we live life; being a light for Him! This isn’t being weak or timid, but a bold and powerful life of effective consequence.
Jesus prayed to leave us in the world for a time, until that time is over, ‘until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled’ (Luke 21:24). That hour is coming soon and we must continue to represent and ambassador the Lord and His ways in this world… as a living witness for Him. In doing so we yearn more to be with the Lord, and become more aware that it’s better we stay on earth to do His will and help return many to the kingdom of God.
God knows the pressures and the tensions of living today, and as we interact in our world we have to be wise in how we live; though not dictated and shaped by culture and society or in any other way. But living the Lord’s ways, which are the best to learn and experience. Then you can truly be influencing culture in your world for Him in the process, which is a joy for those who believe in the Lord.
Joys and Pleasures in Heaven
‘You (God) make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is FULLNESS of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.’ (Psalm 16:11). There is yearning in all of us to be close to God our Creator and to know joy and pleasure beyond this earthly life. While you are alive, as you know the Lord as a believer, He promises to never leave you or forsake you ever! “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5) That is now, and for all eternity! When you know and grow in your relationship with the Lord, we naturally yearn by the Spirit in us, for a better citizenship and country, where a city has been prepared for all who believe.
‘For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them’ (Hebrew 11:14-16).
We seek the TRUE ‘Homeland Security’ of eternal heaven and all that the Lord plans for us beyond that. He will tell us…as all the mysteries of God will one day end, and we will have many new ‘aha moments!’
The End of the Mysteries of God
“…in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He announced to His servants the prophets” (Revelation 10:7). When we are all gathered with the Lord at the end… ‘having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fulness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth-in Him’ (Ephesians 1:9-10).
All the mystery of God will be revealed to us. ‘The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints (us). To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is CHRIST IN YOU, the HOPE OF GLORY’ (Colossians 1:26-27). Christ IN US, and we In Christ… amazing! Talk about being joined together!
So… the true ‘religion mystery’ of God that gives real genuine hope and a future (Jermiah 29:11), is not a religious conformative organisation of any type of restrictive control, manipulated by people. BUT each individual living on earth inviting God though faith in Jesus, into their hearts, to live inside of them by the Holy Spirit. You then become a ‘living stone’ in a global ‘building’ called The Body of Christ! (1 Peter 2:5). By the Spirit, the omnipotent God, Jesus Christ Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23), is then living INSIDE YOU (Revelation 19:6). Incredible!
You become truly ALIVE, now and eternal. (1 Corinthians 15:22, Romans 6:11). God works through your life 24/7 as you are yielded to Him and filled with His Holy Spirit learning to lead an extremely effective ‘Spirit led Life’ on earth FOR Jesus Christ (Roman 8)… This my friends is True Christianity; organic, flexible, pure, holy, forgiven, washed, wild, exciting, creative, positive, joyful, loving, powerful, hopeful, expectant, forward motion purposed, for an abundant way to live led by God Himself The Hope of Glory! It can be very difficult and tough, but freewill and faith are surely tested in the process of life, to curate fashion and make us, the people of God that we are meant to be…!
The New Heaven and New Earth
The joys of the world to come in the glorious new beginning… Isaiah 65:17–19
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
or come into mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create;
for behold, I create Jerusalem TO BE A JOY,
and her people to be a gladness.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people”
The New Jerusalem City in the new heaven and the new earth, is where our eternal future truly all starts (Chapter 21 and 22 in Revelation, the last book of the Bible). I encourage you to read it for yourself. It is like a crazy wonderful movie narrative that none of us have seen yet. But this is what is promised by the Lord Jesus Christ, prepared for you, the true believer, like Mary who wanted to cling on to Jesus forever and never let Him go.
The alternatives of not being with God for eternity (as we have discussed), after you die, are not even worth contemplating, they don’t compare to the wonders of the True God of Heaven through Jesus Christ. I hope and pray to see you in that city of wonder, one day. Maybe you will come up to me and say, “Hey! I read your blog… and now I’m here!” Even now; email us! I know this writing is all worth it, even if only one of you makes heaven your lush eternal home! But I know there are many many more…
I will leave you at the finish line of this series (which I have also found wonderfully fascinating, even for myself to write), with the powerful words of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, right at the end of the Bible.
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. WHOEVER DESIRES, let him take the water of life FREELY’ (Revelation 22:16-17). Let your desires for God be fulfilled…
Choose well fellow humans, choose well! Make sure; YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN… prepared for eternity…
It’s time to come… The Holy Spirit and Bride of Christ is calling you… ‘come to the waters and drink’ the ‘waters of eternal life’ are clear and FREE! Drink well… drink well… (it’s either ‘Heaven of Hell!’)… (series end)…

Final Thoughts for today…
None of us have been in the end of the end-times before, with all the invasion of technology we experience on every level of life.
We read about the end-times in the Bible, but now we are actually here, our journey is to understand and learn to navigate it all, know where we need to be with Jesus, to be True Worshippers in a darkening world.
We must be ready as TRUE worshippers, to be true sons and daughters of God, ‘led by the Spirit’ (Romans 8:14). One day soon we may not be able to play the games of church religious protocols as we have known. How will we stand?
Global societal shifts and changes are accelerating at exponential rates in this world. We all need understanding how to navigate the chaotic and pressured times now and ahead of us as worshipping believers of Jesus Christ.
Despite everything; be intelligent, wise, critical thinkers, and continue living out your faith on earth while we can, because it will all end one day. Yes, we all die, but humans were deigned to be eternal; and we can with Jesus Christ. May you now emerge and find truth!
If you’re in struggle street of any kind, God has a family / church / company of people / tribe / a place where you’ll fit; ask God and he will show you.

It’s a New Era of History
In 2021, I wrote a prophetic blog stating; ‘we have now transitioned in this time of immense change, into a New Era of History, both in the world at large, and in the Church.’
Things have never been the same since the plan-demic, and will not be ever again. These are the last of the last days…
‘ANew Awakening’ has emerged in the world now, and the TRUTH of the gospel is being preached everywhere like never before. Jesus is exposing falsity in religion and the Body of Christ. Now, March 2026, everything is moving forward rapidly. Not just in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are well informed and awakened to the lies, deceptions and agendas of this world!
False religion still parades the streets, trying to enforce their deceptions on humanity, and as wars increase in the Middle East… we inch closer to the end. (read the blog at the following link)

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ!
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’Matthew 28:20. ‘
“But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.’Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too, filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me, Amen.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM Instagram or FB or email info@endtimewriters.com. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a solid believing Church where you can grow.
