Locked out of Heaven.
Dear reader, you may have heard this common saying that I am going to mention in this article. Some Christians who have lost their loved ones have a saying that their dead person “went to be with the Lord.”
The truth is that no matter how holy or religious the deceased person seemed to be on earth, you cannot say for sure that this person went to be with the Lord.
What You Didn’t Know About the Deceased.
First, there are many things you don’t know about any deceased person. You don’t know what he did in his private or secret life. Also, you don’t know what was in his heart at the time of his death. Additionally, you didn’t know if he truly repented of all his sins before his death or not.
Only the angels of God can say it.
In fact, the declaration that the deceased person went to be with the Lord can only be made by the angels of God. Angels are the only ones who can say whether the deceased went to be with the Lord or not.
After Jesus Christ was buried, many of his followers were wondering whether he went to be with the Father in Heaven or not. It was God’s angels who told them the real truth. Listen to what God’s angels said:
4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; Jesus has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”
Luke 24:4-7
Other ways to say it.
You can actually ask our Heavenly Father to reveal to you whether your loved one made it to Heaven.
My Mother-in-Law.
About fourteen years ago I lost my beloved mother-in-law. She was a wonderful, calm woman with a true heart of Jesus Christ. At the age of about 70 she passed away after heart complications.
My wife was devastated by her death because after losing her father when she was young, her mother was everything to her. For many months, my wife would wake up crying after remembering her late mother. I was in a state of confusion because I did not know what to do to comfort her.
The Heavenly Dream That Changed My Wife
One night, my wife had a wonderful heavenly dream. In this dream, my wife found herself in a very beautiful heavenly landscape. As she continued to admire the flowers and birds singing, she suddenly saw a white bus coming towards her. The bus stopped not far from where she was standing and out of it came her late mother.
She was not the old mom I used to see on earth. Her mom from the white bus looked like a young girl in her 20s! Her facial skin was so smooth and glowing. The face had no wrinkles she had at the time of death. She was wearing a very bright white dress that looked like a wedding dress.
My wife was so happy to see her late mother in such a beautiful and happy shape. Then, in this dream, my wife ran to hug her. My mother-in-law stopped her saying,
No, you cannot come this way because your time has not come.
She went back on the white bus and disappeared! My wife woke me up to tell me the exciting news. “I saw my mom! She made it to heaven! She is now with the Lord!”
From that date until now, my wife has never mourned the loss of her mother. She is convinced that her mother is in the safe hands of our Lord!
Locked out of Heaven.
