God bless!

        Want to get into Heaven? If your answer is yes then the verse today will give you clear direction as to what is involved with this becoming a reality. It's not easy to repent as it takes a true radical, determined spirit to recognize your wrong and take action to make a change. Most of us ignore our wrongs but retain memory of everyone else's, not true? Why do we do this? Though many of us will fight this statement, deep inside of all of us is this defense mechanism that fails to attribute any wrong to ourselves. We are always right, our ways are always right, our opinion is the only one that counts, our upbringing was the only right way, etc., etc.. Guess what: We are all wrong from time to time! There is only one "Right" way, and that is God's way. He calls us to repent, to make things right, to mend the broken and clothe the naked. Why? The cost to enter heaven is quantified in "Pride", if you keep it you can't get in. It's similar to trying to bring a weapon through a metal detector, you won't get in because it's not allowed. To make things visual let’s see it like this: The metal detector is the Word, the Entrance Guard is Jesus's Testimony (He left all pride behind for us) and Heaven is the destination. If we want to get in we will have to strip pride off and enter with a repented heart. Want to miss out on your entrance? I don't think any of us do, today is the perfect day to make things right. If we find ourselves doing things that only make us happy then we need to watch out for pride. It's a sneaky devil!

Pastor Joell A. Perez

And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turnabout) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all]. (Matthew 18:3 AMP)
