“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:12

I’m told that in a cemetery up in Indiana, there’s an epitaph on a tombstone which says,

Pause stranger, you who pass me by,
As you are now, so one day was I.
As I am now, so will you be.
So prepare for death and follow me.

So one day, a visitor walked by there and scratched on the bottom of that little epitaph:

To follow you I am not content,
Until I know which way you went!

There’s only one way to heaven. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Jesus is the one and only one to follow… there’s no one else! He’s the only one who can take you to the glory of heaven on the day you pass from this life to the next.

With all the ideas in the world today about this or that way to get to heaven, isn’t it wonderful to have a Savior who didn’t come to show the way? Rather, He came to be the way. And it’s by a faith relationship with Him that you can know for sure you’ll be with Him forever!
WITH ALL THE COMPETING IDEAS IN THE WORLD TODAY ABOUT HEAVEN, TAKE COMFORT THAT JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE.

Your Deliverance Is At Hand

By  David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]

God had given Moses and Israel ironclad promises of deliverance, so Moses went
to the people with the good news. He performed signs for them and Scripture
says they believed: “Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the
elders of the children of Israel. And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord
had spoken to Moses. Then he did signs in the sight of the people. So the
people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of
Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads
and worshiped” (Exodus 4:29-31).

It was a time of hope and rejoicing. Everyone cried, “Hallelujah! We are
finally free! God has heard our cry and our bondage is over. Praise to Him!”

Yet, what happened next? Things only got worse. Israel’s bondage became
absolutely unbearable. They were given no straw for making bricks and they
endured heavy beatings from their taskmasters. Pharaoh raged at Israel’s
leaders, “Get out of my sight. Back to work!”

Moses could not believe this terrible turn of events. He cried out, “God, why
are You treating Your people this way? You haven’t delivered us at all; in
fact, things are worse than ever. You haven’t kept Your Word and nothing You
promised is happening.”

You must understand, the devil knew Israel’s deliverance was right at the
door, so do you think he was going to sit by and not make one last attempt to
wear out God’s people? The worsening of Israel’s condition wasn’t God’s
doing. Rather, it was Satan rushing about madly—hurrying his work before the
hour of deliverance came. Likewise, whenever the devil sees you driven to your
knees, he knows your deliverance is at hand and he is not going to sit by in
those final moments before victory comes! Instead, he will intensify your
temptations. He will enflame people against you and send lying spirits to
falsely accuse you. He will lie to you that God has taken His Holy Spirit from
you, that you are paying for past sins. He will try to flood you with all kinds
of guilt and condemnation.

If you are praying, but things are only getting worse, start rejoicing because
your deliverance is at hand!
