Why Heaven Is No Longer My Target by Nobody: 3:25pm On Sep 28, 2019
Because I'm now aiming for God's heart.

Though it initially used to be heaven because the last thing I wanted to do, was to end up in hell. But when I began to walk with God and got to know Him, I was like, what?

Are you kidding me?

Is this what I have been missing all this while?

To be honest, I wish I had gotten to know Him much much earlier, and if possible all through my whole life, because God is the best thing that I had ever known and the best thing that had ever happened to me, past, present and even future.

And that is not flattery by any means, infact it's a huge understatement, as mere words cannot even describe Him. He's just too good to be true.

And I began to see why those that truly got to know Him in the past, wouldn't trade Him or His position for anything else, but would do or give anything to keep Him, because God just too much, walahi. So once you truly get a taste of Him, you'd never want to let Him go, because you become hooked for life, and just can't get enough of Him.

So despite that God wasn't my original my target, having come to know Him, He has won over my heart, soul and mind, that my target is now to please Him and be as close to His heart as possible.

That's why my target is no longer heaven, but He who dwells in it.

God bless.

P.S. Been doing this for over seventeen years now, and still counting.

You are actually right in a sense, because God dwells within me.

But does He also dwell within you?

If He really does, then you're not doing well with His dwelling place oh.

You must be born again sis, otherwise you'd never
enter into His Kingdom in heaven.

John 3:3 (KJV)

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

So you need to start targeting heaven yourself.

Thanks and God bless.

I'm glad you see some light. Heaven chasing is one of those ultimate selfishness. People who chase it seem to abandon the three score and ten they'd likely spend on this earth and worry about where they'd go afterwards. Makes you think one of Jesus commandments was "love yourself", which one ought to, mind, but not to the extent of having so little faith that one's worry and concern is after they die.

Glad to see your increase in faith.

Not interested in whatever you have to say until you answer these three questions:

1) Are you still in the occultic Rosicrucian order?

2) Are you still pro-gay activist?

3) Are you still in support of abortion?

When you're through with those questions, then you can speak to me.
Speak to you? You must think you're important or something! But for the record, I've never been a Rosicrucian. Where you put your prick is not my business. And neither is your abortion.

Note, I'm not speaking to you. Just debunking your lies.

God revealed most things about Jesus to Mohammed but left out a key detail that He was the Son of God because the Islamic faith was meant to be at Abrahamic level at the first stage.

If Jews had knowledge of what God revealed to to Mohammed concerning Jesus, such as that He was born of a virgin they would have believed He was the promised Messiah and the Son Of God, because it was prophesied in their scriptures.

But they didn't because they didn't have the knowledge, while Mohammed who had the knowledge but didn't have the prophecy.
I don't think you know what you are saying.

Surah 9:30: Jews say, “EZRA IS
THE SON OF ALLAH ” and the
Christians say, “The Messiah is
the son of Allah.” That is their
statement from their mouths,
they imitate the saying of those
who disbelieved before them.
May ALLAH DESTROY THEM. How
deluded they are. (Sahih
International)

According to this Quranic verse, the reason for Allah’s determination to “destroy” the Jews and the Christians is because of their supposedly false beliefs. EZRA!!! son of Allah ? Of course, the claim of Allah in Surah 9:30 is absolutely false. Never in the history of the Jews did they ever claim or believe that Ezra is the son of God.

Allah is different from the God of the bible.

Noooooooooooo.
In as much as I respect everything you've said, this is wrong.
Muhammad is not of God.
In one of your threads, you said you were speaking in tongues and the word "Allah" kept repeating itself, and some other stuffs like that. I would tell you today, The synonymous Arabic word for God is Al-illah, which means (The One). Don't be deceived, Allah is the name of an Arabia idol.

So according to you, Allah was the one who said "May Allah destroy them" (Jews and Christians), in other words Allah was praying to Himself.

You seem not to see how sentiments has beclouded your judgment and yet you claim I don't know what I'm saying.

Now this an instruction God Himself gave to Moses in the Torah:

Leviticus 24:16 (KJV)

And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

And this was what the Jews did to this to Jesus following the instructions given by God in the Law:

John 10:31, 33 (KJV)

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

So what do you think of the God of the Jews?

And does that make the God of the Jews different from the God of Jesus?

Please use the same basis you used to adjudge Allah as different from the God of the Bible, for that saying in the Koran.
Read the Quranic verse again, Allah is the one talking but in the last sentence it was the response of the people. the verse is in harmony with the passage that deny the son ship of Jesus as the son of God .

who is the author of psalm? the Qur'an say David. is David the author ? why the confusion ?

If you're only looking for such confusions and contradictions in the Koran, you would definitely get it, but if you look for the truth in the Koran, you would see that the truth in it by far outweighs such.

What's the difference between you and the atheists who point out only the confusions md contradictions in the Bible to debunk it as fake and only a story book?

All this came from a stark illiterate Mohammed, and you expect not to find any error in it?

I very knew the contrary position of most christians concerning Mohammed and Islam, but I wanted to know what God had to say concerning it. So apart from what God told me concerning that after I sincerely asked Him questions in that respect, I have also confirmed what He said with what I have seen in the Koran and concerning Mohammed, and this is the result of that.

The reason I did that was so as not to find myself working against God on such matters as those of the House of God did concerning Jesus while He was on Earth, for they were so sure they were right that Jesus had a devil, was a blasphemer of God's name, and not of God etc. even though it was plain sentiments.

So as much as it's easy today for us to say we believe Him, I believe it is also easy to continue in the ways of such ones working against God with respect to others.

Therefore I don't want to be a party to that but to be like the disciples who chose not to follow the paths of sentiments or popular opinion but the Truth.

Hence my position on this matter.
you don't know what you are saying, it is either you accept the Bible or reject it, the Qur'an contradict the Bible, the Qur'an deny the Cross of salvation , this is what apostle Paul say:
◄ 1 Corinthians 15:17
And if Christ has not been raised, then your
faith is useless and you are still guilty of your
sins.

the Qur'an say otherwise

Surah 4:157: And their
saying: Surely we have
killed the Messiah, Isa son
of Marium, the messenger
of Allah; and they did not
kill him nor did they crucify
him, but it appeared to
them so (like Isa) and most
surely those who differ
therein are only in a doubt
about it; they have no
knowledge respecting it,
but only follow a
conjecture, and they killed
him not for sure.

are they saying the something?

You are greatly deceived. If you think Allah is God then you are confused. Read the Koran. One is an imposter. One is a lie. It's either the Christian God is or Muslim god is. The two are not the same. Please read the Koran.

That you were an ex-muslim don't mean that you are right. Or have you not heard ex-christians deny the existence of God?

The truth is that you seem have misinterpreted the perversions of the faith to mean that Allah is not God but the name of an Arabian idol. Just like saying that Mary the mother of Jesus is no longer authentic, because people worship the idol called "Holy Mary".

I am damn sure about this that Allah is Jehovah the God of Abraham and the Jews, and that He was the one that revealed Himself to Mohammed to perform the promise He made to Abraham concerning making His son Ishmael a great nation, to bring them back to the God of their forefathers, just as He did with Moses in the instance of Israel.

As for my tongues, you can choose to believe it or not, but that is in consonance with what God revealed to me concerning Mohammed and the Islam when I sincerely asked Him questions concerning that.

God bless.

You cannot ask God any question in private when you have His word. Have you read it? You must first understand the God of the word before understanding God grin.

Dont be lazy. You that didnt understand Paul's letters how can you rightly interpret Gods revelations? You are the same person that said Paul is apostate?

You are greatly confused. There r so many information to read up and understand but you choose to be asking questions to God that the answers are already clearly spelt out in the word. The devil will answer you because you became rebellious and wont study to know historical events.

You are lost if you think Allah is God. I used to think d same until I READ THE KORAN.

Study to make yourself approved. A faithful workman rightly dividing the word of truth

Daniel understood by books, The prophets of old were asked to write down so people can read. even Jesus understood by books, the apostles understood by books that the messiah would come. So how dont you wanna understand by books(bible not chemistry book)? Are you special? You wont read and allow the Holy Spirit to interpret but you are asking question? Oga the devil will answer you very well and I can see you have begun manifesting this foolishness.

Be humble and camp with the word

DONT BE LAZY
