The Elevator

At birth we are put into an elevator called belief. God wants us to go to the top floor and he has put this desire in our conscience. But on the way up, we are tempted with all manner of doctrine. Each floor the elevator stops at, there are people who are inviting us to come out for they all say that they have the truth and that it is good at this level. One level is called non-belief in God. They shout about how free they are and how they are the masters of their own destiny. But each person here is really lonely, but they know no better.

Each doctrine is capitalized by one or more denomination, organisation or movement. One is called Catholicism and another Atheism. There is Communism, Racism, Fascism and Capitalism. There are those who make money their God and others who serve the image that they would like to make themselves into. There is worldly wisdom, self promotion, vanity and denominations based on the wisdom of man. In the lower floors the levels there do not encompass belief in God at all, but the higher you get the more cunning the deception, as Satan poses as an angel of light to those who have a form of godliness.

Those who have decided to stay in the elevator and not get out at the non-belief levels still have many deceptions waiting for them. Even those who have not partaken of popular things such as Evolution, the Trinity Doctrine or New Age, can still get out at floors called Unification, Unitarian and the Watchtower, with many more too. For Satan has a supermarket of deception and caters for all manner of taste and weakness. This supermarket is called 'Mystery Babylon'.

But how many are just willing to stay in the elevator and get out at the top floor, without succumbing to each temptation at each new level? For surely it is those who are led by their carnal nature that accept such temptation. If only we would stay in the elevator and wait for the top floor, but many are enticed because they have wickedness in their heart.

True faith is as easy as staying in the elevator, even a child could do that. But the pride and intellect of man can be so easily deceived. It is those who are like little children that know how to not succumb to such things. They can be told to wait for the top floor and not be tempted by each level knowing that the destination is the city of God, the city not built by human hands.

It is not about aiming for perfection and just missing it. It is about dying to ourselves that perfection can live through us. In this we will find our lives. We only need to stay on the path and not stray from it. If we can stay till the last floor, we not only fulfill the high calling of our God, but we set a precedent for others to follow. We show them the way as demonstrated by our faith.

At the top floor the Lord is waiting for us. He wants to say to us "Well done my good and faithful servant". Only those who desire with all their heart to hear those words will reach the top floor.
