Things to do in Hell

sorry quite a flippant title for such a serious subject but it got YOUR attention :-P anyway... right Hell,the other night the Lord wouldn't let me get to sleep (not a problem i have for anyone who knows me), i had recently listened to Leonard Ravenhill's The Judgement seat of Christ, where he spoke about how Jonathan Edwards before delivering 'Sinners in the hand of an angry God' prayed 'Lord stamp eternity on my eyes' over and over and over again, so as i lay awake i started to ponder Hell, and what it would be like.now I didn't recieve a vision or anything but i really felt the Lord bring somethings to light with regards to the place where, and lets face it, most people will spend eternity.As i wondered what it would be like i became very sure of at least 2 things that would accompany everyone cast into the Lake of fire:1: Regret2: PainThink about it thats all they will have forever, FOREVER!!!!!!!! NO END TO THEIR REGRET AND NO END TO THEIR PAIN!!!!Think about it! they will have no happy memories of there time spent on earth, there fondest memories (meeting the person they loved, getting married, childbirth, children's parties, family gatherings) will be the things that bring them most torment because they spent their time doing that instead of on their face before almighty God weeping over their life of sin, and pleeding with God to remove their burden of guilt. No hint of happiness not even from their happiest moments.Consider for a moment the mental anguish of your entire life turning into filthy rags before your eyes, add to this the fact that you ignored your way out over and over and over and over again! You spat in the face of Him that sat on the throne before you and looked at you with such righteous fury and proclaimed judgement on you and you know you deserve every second of what your going through, and more!!!!every chance you had to get out will revolve round and round in your head for all eternity, every tract you refused, or ignored, or scoffed at because you were with your mates, or tore up or threw away, every time you ignored that 'crazy man' on the street telling you to Repent!and now ... what... no more grace, no more mercy, no more release, no more pity, no salvation from here, no prescence of God (which you didn't notice while alive but you sure notice now!), NO WAY OUT!!!, no friends to help you with what your going through not because they arent here with you they might very well be, but they cant help you any more than you can help them so why bother?and i havent started on the pain...and this is your eternity and with every second you endure it a million more are added to the end!why dont i feel like this when with unsaved friends? or when I'm evangelizing? O wretched man that I am.

As i wondered what it would be like i became very sure of at least 2 things that would accompany everyone cast into the Lake of fire:1: Regret2: PainMark 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. That worm is the conscience of the soul. It will eat at them for eternity.Plus, think of all the comforts we all take for granted, like; Not being hungery. I think the souls in Hell or the lake of fire will expirience Hunger, lack of breath, exhaustion or extream tiredness, lonelyness, Terror, the fealing of dieing with out death..., I'm sure you all could think of others.

Bring the marshmallows! :-?

matt,If you truly want to get over that wall, you must really get on your face and pray that God move upon you. I did, and He responded. It was not fun. But I feel less fear and more Him, to put it bluntly. I have many old friends that I need to witness to. After this experience I am not as squirmish when I think about talking to them.You must be prepared to give up worldy desires. People that are soulwinners sometimes assume that God is smiling on their lives, even though we need cleansing just as much as the unsaved. Ask God to cleanse you, just like Isaiah 6, and He will. Be prepared for a wilderness experience, though. You'll notice after the Holy Ghost fell upon Christ, He was led in the wilderness to be tempted (tried, purified). I'm tired of pretence in my Christian walk, so I've made up my mind that God can do whatever He wants to make me ready for use toward His kingdom."Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord. He that hath clean hands and a pure heart."

I've often said: "Most people go into hell smiling." Meaning, they have no idea they are going there when they do.

me too, never knew they were the lyrics though

And to think that I used to crank this song at full volume when I was lost and blind.KrispyThat's why I Love ya Brother! your like me your not afraid to mention some of the stuff you did in your past, and to be completely honest with you, I don't think there is a better witnessing tool, than to tell someone what your past was like. Brother we may not be were we need to be but thank GOD were not were we use to be. :-)

This song does much damage to those who are ignorant of eternity!

There are two roads in life, a narrow and straight way leading to Heaven, and a broad way leading to Hell...Both are marked "This way to Heaven."

errr an infinte crime deserves an infinte punishment, by a just Judge, thus rejecting God's own salvation, not only that HIS OWN SON, surely is an infinte crime, thus how is justice served by God popping them out of existence at the point of death and what of all the scriptures about hell!!!Matt 18:8Matt 25:41,46Mark 9:43,44,46,482 Thes 1:9Jude 6Rev 20:10to name but a few!
