There are many scripture passages which are being mentioned here. But to the best of my limited ability, but instead, my full trust and obedience in hearing God regarding the main lesson, believe this message, not only for myself (ouch) but for most all of us, in this blessed nation of America we are temporarily living it.
Warning: God is doing some pruning here through his refining fire. Don't run as it is the only way, by the work of Jesus Christ on the cross to get into the kingdom of heaven. For we are not entering heaven looking like us, rather we will be like Jesus.
