The kingdom of heaven - shut

The kingdom of heaven- shut.

People want to believe the kingdom of heaven is open to all regardless of everything.  They do. People ultimately wish to believe that no matter the circumstances heaven, a hereafter, a life after dying will be theirs. Few people will desire an after life of nothingness. The idea is that no matter what you believe, you will have heaven.

Of course there are those who simply choose to believe there is absolutely no life at all after death's sleep, they don't even believe death is a sleep but an actual end.

Truly, people believe in all sorts of theories- none proven except…  Christianity.

I can say this is proven because of HISTORY.

Prophecies made thousands of years before coming to pass. 
Prophecies prove the truth.
Prophecies 100% true and history has proven this.

You don't have to believe me, or even believe the Bible, but I personally cannot ignore the facts. When we choose to ignore the truth, we are blinding ourselves. We are putting out our spiritual eyes. 

Many people have blinded themselves and more continue to do so. They blind themselves so they don't see the truth and therefore are not accountable to the truth.  The truth is a cross. The truth is self-denial.  The truth is Christ.

The kingdom of heaven can be shut to people.

Remember yesterday-

Mat 22:11  And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Mat 22:12  And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen.

Denied the kingdom of heaven.

Luk 13:23  Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Luk 13:24  Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luk 13:25  When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Luk 13:26  Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Luk 13:27  But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luk 13:28  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Luk 13:29  And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Luk 13:30  And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

This is truth.

The kingdom of heaven is not easily accessible, or rather, not evilly accessible.  It's only accessible through the righteousness of Christ.

Mat 23:13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Jesus said- WOE unto the scribes and Pharisees.
Jesus called them HYPOCRITES.

Hypocrites are those who act one way but are really another. The scribes and Pharisees were supposed to be closest to God and yet they were the farthest away.

Jesus said the scribes and Pharisees shut up the kingdom of heaven so people CAN'T go in, and neither can they.

Jesus said these supposed men of God did not even want any to go into the kingdom of heaven.

The kingdom of heaven shut up.

The kingdom of heaven denied to people.

The truth shut up.

Satan does NOT want any to enter the kingdom of heaven and he'll do ALL he can to see that as many as he can stop from entering, he will stop.

Is the kingdom of heaven open to you?

Do you want the truth?!

Do you want spiritual sight?!

It's not easy! It's not the broad way!

It's the narrow way, it's the strait way, it's the way of the CROSS for all!

Please Lord, help us to have only Your truth! Please  keep our spiritual sight intact. Please Lord, we don't want to be blind. Please Lord, let us enter the kingdom of heaven, we would be YOURS. Please, Lord, by Your GRACE, Your LOVE.

Please forgive us.
