  I woke up with Jesus on my mind!

  
  

  
  

  This story is an important part of what i am.And  is very important to me. At a time when i really needed the word of God to open up to me this is what God gave me!

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

  Do you believe in Death Bed redemption ? I do and the reason why is as follows.

  
  

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  Matthew20:1
  

  For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
  
  

  20:2
  

  And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
  
  

  20:3
  

  And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
  
  

  20:4
  

  And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
  
  

  20:5
  

  Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
  
  

  20:6
  

  And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
  
  

  20:7
  

  They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
  
  

  20:8
  

  So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
  
  

  20:9
  

  And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
  
  

  20:10
  

  But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
  
  

  20:11
  

  And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
  
  

  20:12
  

  Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
  
  

  20:13
  

  But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
  
  

  20:14
  

  Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

  ~In the story of the Vineyard Worker in Matthew, the workers who were hired first in the day we paid the same at the end of the day as those who didn’t work a whole day !

  
  

   

  
  

  Long story ahead ….!
  
  In 1998 my father inlaw was very ill and dying of cancer.. He had not been saved at that time and i was concerned for his soul.You see i loved him like my Father and i couldn’t stand the thought of him dying and being lost.Some people dont believe in Heaven or Hell but i do .I wanted him to make Heaven so i talked to him about His soul and making it right between him and God.I ask him did he want to pray and ask Gods forgiveness of his sins and he said yes.
  
  Right then he/we prayed and ask God to forgive him and ask him to give him the hope of Heaven and peace filled the room and Pa was smiling from ear to ear and crying at the same time.He was thanking God for salvation !And i had assurance he prayed through to salvation , How we rejoiced and praised God together.
  
  After Pa died some 5 months later he did so in peace and you could feel the presence of Jesus so plane.I knew Pa made it in to Heaven!

  
  

  
  

  
  
  But making my story shorter …some were casting a doubt about Pa and his salvation this made me quiet upset as i was Pa’s wittiness to him praying through.
  
  So that night i prayed hard for an answer and words to testify on Pa’s behalf.Well thats when God gave me the scripture in Matthew 20 for an answer to others.The vinyard story in the Bible came to me. And the wages were the same at the end of the day same as they had been for those who laboured all day !! Ill never forget it and to this day i get happy when i think on it.You’ll it wont make me angry for God to allow the last minute seekers into heaven i want everyone that believes and wants to go to Heaven to go.
  
  So I’m satisfied my Father inlaw will meet me in Heaven one day. I want you all to meet me there.One day it will be time and i want to stroll over Heaven with you all one day!
  
  This is my heart to see everyone that will, come to know Jesus that desires to do so! Im old timey i guess, most people say so anyway.And if your wondering what ide have done if PA. had of said no! Ide a walked out of there went and got on my face befor God and wouldnt have come up until one of us changed there mind.And i dont move if it’s important.
