A Shortcut to Heaven
One that Guarantees It In Just 5 Minutes!!
With this book in hand and even if you have only less than five minutes to live, you have no excuse for not going to heaven. Because you can still go to heaven no matter what – just as the thief who hung on the cross with Jesus stole heaven in less than five minutes just as Jesus promised to him in Lk. 23:43 when he assured him and said: “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”
You too can do this if you are willing to accept him as your daddy who he truly is – because of the infinite mercy of God which was imparted to him from Jesus through his most precious blood which was flowing from his body on to not only the thief who was calling upon him but also on to anyone who is willing to call upon him begging for God’s infinite mercy even as we speak!
This book will show you how to make Almighty God your own Daddy and at the same time enjoy the rest of your life just as a 4-year-old child who loves his/her life in the company of his/her daddy with whom the child is constantly engaged in ‘baby talk’ which he/she thoroughly enjoys! Believe it or not, such a relationship is not just a one-way talk only! An example of this same kind of expression of tender love and baby talk coming from the ‘daddy’ (in this case as though it is coming from a mother to the child in return can be read in Is. 49:15-16 where we read about God’s reciprocal love flowing towards the child:
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
Your walls are ever before me.”
And by the way, Jesus demonstrating eternal salvation in response to a poor soul begging for mercy and thus stealing away heavenly bliss that lasts for all eternity is not limited to just the above incident in Lk. 23:43 only. We can see another example of Jesus’ eagerness to extend eternal salvation towards those who call upon his mercy can also be seen in Lk. 17. Here we read about the 10 lepers who beg for Jesus’ mercy and asking him to be cured of leprosy. He asks them to show themselves to the priests which was the standard procedure for anyone who was cured of leprosy. Upon noticing that he was cured, one of them came back to thank Jesus.
Jesus asked him why was it that only one of the ten came back to thank him even though all his other nine companions were also cured. Then he told the leper who came back to thank him: “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” Here according to Bible scholars, it is implied that in appreciation of the one and only leper coming back to thank him thereby glorifying God, Jesus, in addition to the healing from leprosy which all the 10 lepers received, Jesus endowed on the leper who came to thank him eternal salvation also.
In other words, in return for the act of glorifying God through his action of thanking God for the cure that he received from leprosy, he received also the eternal salvation even without asking for it!
I would like to point out in this episode of Jesus curing the leper, he also gave eternal salvation to him for going that extra step of glorifying God which he initiated on his own even though no one asked him to do it. This magnanimous act of voluntarily demonstrating gratitude towards God, it is more than fair to say that this particular leper who came to thank Jesus received eternal salvation even without asking for it. I would call this an incident in the earthly ministry of Jesus an example of him demonstrating his infinitely generous token of appreciation of a leper’s action of glorifying God by his action of thanking Jesus for being cured of leprosy an example of Jesus showering eternal salvation on an individual even without asking for it.
In other words, this is a more generous act of Jesus granting eternal salvation to someone who did not even ask for it! Certainly, this will and should go down in Christ’s ministry on this earth as an example of Jesus granting eternal salvation to someone just for taking time out for worshiping God by thanking Jesus! I would dare to say that this is an incident in which Jesus saved a soul with eternal salvation just for demonstrating an act of simple gratitude which goes, in my opinion, far beyond the scope of the two verses in the Bible which promise eternal salvation to anyone who calls upon the name of the LORD, namely Joel 2:32 and Rom. 10:13!
I would say in conclusion, the act of Jesus giving eternal life to the leper who came to thank him for curing his leprosy is an act of generosity that is beyond any stretch of imagination of God’s infinite generosity and love! Perhaps this favor that Jesus showered on the leper who simply came to thank him for curing his leprosy is the best example of the veracity (truthfulness) of God’s infinite love for humanity embodied by Jn. 3:16 which says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Praise the LORD, ALLELUIAH!!
The Theology Behind the Jesus’ 5 Minute Program to Get to Heaven
In this context, one thing that we should all remember is that in the parable of the master who hired laborers to work in his vineyard, regardless of whether it was at the third hour, sixth hour, nineth hour or at the eleventh hour – they all received the same wages of one Denarius at the end of the day when the time came for paying them. It says in the parable that the master started with those who came at the eleventh hour paying them all one Denarius each.
As we read on, it specifically says that when the master of the vineyard paid one Denarius to those who came at the eleventh hour, those who came earlier at the third, sixth and nineth hour — they all thought that they were going to get more. But they also got the same one Denarius that those who came at the eleventh hour received. When they found out that they all got the same wage — one Denarius each, they all complained to the master of the vineyard that they were not being treated fairly. The master’s response was that the vineyard was his and the money paid out as wages was also his and therefore, he had the right to do whatever he wished to do with his money. After all, at the time they agreed to come to work for whatever time they came to work for, they were all promised that they would all be paid one Denarius as wages for that day’s labor. In this parable that Jesus told, he said that it was the prerogative of the master to pay as he did and that since he had delivered on that promise, they had no reason to grumble or complain!
As you may know, my prayer rally ministry is based on this principle which is also in the Word of God. Because in this ministry, whoever wants to join the prayer rally is equally entitled to heaven because the Word of God promises that “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13, Joel 2:32).
In Rom. 10:13 and Joel 2:32, we are promised the same salvation whether we may have attended just one prayer rally as part of my Prayer Rally Ministry and thus called on the name of the lord just once in our lifetime. Alternatively, if anyone has done it on their own time or convenience and called on the name of the Lord just one time in his/her lifetime, this will be sufficient also for them to go to heaven! There is one condition though:
Each believer who calls on the name of the Lord to be saved and to enter heaven, as we saw above, needs to remain in God’s grace until the time of his/her death from the time he/she calls on the name of the Lord!!
The reason for this is what we read in Eph. 2:8 as follows:
“It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and
this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works,
so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared
in advance for us to do.”
The reason for this is that the Bible clearly states that “he who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ” and anyone who does not die in the state of grace, does not have the Spirit in him/her and therefore does not belong to Christ as we read in the Word of God (Rom. 8:9)!
Last but not the least … Here is a prayer that is strongly recommended for anyone who has called upon the name of the Lord to be saved and thus go to heaven!
I recommend that you recite this prayer several times during the day on each day that you are on this planet and whenever you have a chance to do so. What led me to come up with this prayer is that some time back, a visiting priest delivered a wonderful homily during the Holy Mass at my local Catholic church. In the homily I was excited to hear what this priest said — a truth about the Lord’s Prayer! He said that when it comes to the Lord’s Prayer which is fondly called the ‘Our Father Prayer’ in the two original versions of the Bible which were written in Hebrew and Aramaic, the word used for Father was “Abba” which translates into “Daddy” in English.
The authors of these Hebrew and Aramaic Bibles used the word ‘Abba’ which means ‘Daddy’ in English for the word ‘Father’ wherever the word Father appeared in the two original versions of the Bible in Hebrew and Aramaic.
This prompted me to come up with the following short prayer in which I like to use the word “Abba” for “Father” which means “Daddy” in English. The reason for the use of the term “Daddy” when addressing each of the three persons of the Holy Trinity is to develop a special child-like tender love and relationship in the minds of everyone who calls on the name of the LORD to go to heaven.
So, the prayer goes like this when addressing the Holy Trinity by calling each of the three persons of the Holy Trinity ‘Abba’ to develop a tender child-like love relationship with each of the three both individually and collectively if you will. After all, developing such a tender relationship with God is nothing but a reciprocal response to God’s tender love that he has for his children as expressed in Is. 49:15 as follows:
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on he palms of my hands.
Your walls are ever before me.”
Thus, the three prayers to the three persons go like this:
When praying to God the Father:
Abba Daddy,
Thank you for this day and every day of my life!
Make this day and this hour a great Pentecost
for the greater glory of your awesome name
and for the salvation of many souls. Amen, Amen.
When praying to Jesus:
Abba Jesus,
Thank you for this day and every day of my life!
Make this day and this hour a great Pentecost
for the greater glory of your awesome name
and for the salvation of many souls, Amen, Amen.
When praying to the Holy Spirit:
Abba Spirit,
Thank you for this day and every day of my life!
Make this day and this hour a great Pentecost
for the greater glory of your awesome name
and for the salvation of many souls! Amen, Amen.
Praise the LORD, ALLELUIAH, ALLELUIAH, ALLELUIAH!!
Always remember this when you recite this prayer:
You are addressing each of the three persons of the Holy Trinity ‘Abba’ – the same word used in the original versions of the Bible written in Hebrew and Aramaic in which case, the word Abba means “Daddy”. As you are using this word to address the three persons of the Holy Trinity in this prayer, you should invoke each of the three persons with the same tenderness and fatherly affection expressed by Jesus Himself in Mt. 6:9 with which Jesus instructed his disciples to address their heavenly Father imagining themselves as a 4-year old boy or girl – with the utmost affection and tenderness – yes, just like a little boy or girl when addressing his or her Daddy.
And remember what our heavenly Father whom we call Abba or “Daddy” in our prayer above says about the tender love he has for each one of us in return, not only when we recite this prayer, but throughout all the 24 hours of the day every day – as we read in Is. 49:15:vi
So, let us go on with our lives on this earth making it the best ‘Pentecostal experience’ every minute of all our days and nights until we achieve the “eternal joy in his presence”, which is described as the “eternal pleasures at His right hand” in Ps. 16:11. When we attain this goal one day in heaven at the end of our pilgrimage in this passing world, we will call it “the ultimate land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey” in heaven. We will inherit this for all eternity, to enjoy it forever because this will be our eternal reward which God has promised us about which we read in 1 Cor. 2:9. Here Paul tells us:
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him – but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.”
