What Impedes You from Going to Heaven?

Dear brothers in Christ Jesus, I was one day meditating in the chapel of the Holy Angels during a Circle of Jericho. The theme was the Blood of Jesus. In meditation, ahead of Eucharistic Jesus, a question came into my heart: “What prevents you from going to heaven?”. At that moment, I was ecstatic because I never had someone or even the Holy Spirit himself lead me to think in that dimension. So I began to pray, “Blood of Jesus, save me.” It was a question coming from far, far away. So deep I felt it coming out of the heart of Jesus. I fell into a silence and thought: The love of Jesus is timid.

If I could divine the wishes of Christ! But I never remember that, in our midst, He’s there with open heart, and his heart spouts torrents of light and love. Jesus reminded me that I obtained redemption through His blood. No clothes will be accepted at the banquet of eternal marriage unless the garment is washed in the Blood of the Lamb (Rev 7:14).

Returning to the question, I ran several Bible passages and started writing which prevented me, sins of childhood sin, adolescence and youth, my disbelief and etc. .. Anyway, I came to a point that felt totally sentenced to not go to heaven. I stopped and I continued praying: “The Blood of Jesus has power.”

At this point, I have a mission, I am devoted to family and have my profession in society. I count the pros and cons, but forgot the main thing, I forgot my merciful God, that the one to whom we give account is Him. I remembered that the main thing is not the head, as it is the crazy part of the body, but the heart in which dwells the Holy Spirit of God.

My brothers and sisters, have courage and strength. God will always help us.

God bless you
Your brother, Eto
