The Holy Spirit Is Christ Jesus Alive:

I was at a branch in the road, wondering which route I should travel. One
road was wide, but complete darkness, the other road was narrow, but it

shone a tiny golden light in the distance, John 8:12.
I chose the dark and wide road because it appeared easier. Later, running
down the wide road, I realized I was not getting anywhere because there

was no progress. I might have chosen the wrong road, I realized. Therefore,
I detoured and went back to the beginning, the fork in the road choice.
I started another journey from the beginning. I was traveling down the
narrow road with a tiny light in the distance. I was uncertain if I was doing
the right thing, I decided to give up. “No one, having put his hand to the

plod and looking backwards, is fit for the kingdom of God,” said the Holy
Spirit, Luke 9:62. ‘Not fit for the kingdom, but the kingdom could well
be heaven, I pondered’; Therefore, I continued onwards towards the light,

Revelation 22:16.
I was moving forward; nonetheless, the terrain in which I was traveling
was getting harder, there were rough roads; hills to climb; and steep valleys
to descend. Therefore, I decided to give up. Once more, the Holy Spirit
encouraged me by whispering, “You can do all things through Christ that

strengthens, Philemon 4:13. Therefore, I continue to press forward. The
more I walked forwards the light got more brilliant. I was coming nearer
to the finish. My adrenaline kicked in, the light motivated me, and I was

making great progress. When I eventually arrived at my goal, I recognized
that the light that shone was the Lord. The light was approximately (200)
foot doorway, an entrance to heaven. I stood face-to-face with God/Christ
Jesus, at the closing of the road my final journey. Nevertheless, because I
came empty-handed without anything, my journey was incomplete. The

Lord explained to me that I did not bring valuable items. This situation is
like the parable of the ‘wise and foolish virgins,’ Matthew 25.
