Be Poor so that Your Prayer will be Heard by the God

The most important question for a man in his life is whether his soul can continue to live after his death in this life.  And, if his soul can, can it enter into Heaven, which must be more important than the first question is.  No man likes to go to the hells after his death in this life.  And, the answer by Christ Jesus is that only the poor can, which is clearly stated in the Bible and is the key to His teaching.  But, everybody wants to get money as much as possible in his life in this world.  That is why none can enjoy blessing by the God.
  
However, some psychics told that they saw rich men in Heaven when they were allowed to see the spirt world.  Yet, Christ Jesus clearly stated that a rich man cannot be accepted in Heaven.  

(Matthew 19)
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Christ Jesus is the best psychic.  We had better trust in Christ Jesus more than any other psychics.

If a man cannot be accepted in Heave, it is no use for his soul to continue to live after his physical death in this world.  But why cannot a rich man be accepted in Heaven?  This is the main theme of the Gospels.  Being rich in this world has more significant meanings that we think it is.  For us to understand what poverty means is to understand what Christ Jesus said. 

Indeed, the more you come to know this world, the more you understand how evil a man would be as he tries to earn more money.  Everyone wants to be happy, and to be happy in this material world, you need money.  Therefore, everyone tries to earn money as much as possible or by whatever means.  And everyone will neglect or sacrifice others or poor neighbors for himself to be rich.  Then, with full of these people, this world will be a hell.  So, it can be understood why Christ Jesus said that a rich man could not be accepted in Heaven.

The desire to earn money as much as possible leads to denial of neighbors' well beings and the poor.  But, materially being rich and happy in this world leads to the hells.  Poor men 2,000 years ago must be glad to hear this teaching of Christ Jesus.  Their being poor promises them to be accepted in Heaven.  Therefore, the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus is encouragement of becoming poor rather than rich.  

If you are kind to others or love the poor, you cannot be richer than others or the poor.  So, as a result, you will inevitably be poor as much as your neighbors or the poor are.  Then you will not sell your soul to Satan, while ordinary people would even sell their souls to Satan in order to become rich.  They would do any evil things to earn money, so that they would obey Satan.  The more they earn money, the more they would do evil things and sell their souls to Satan.

That is why this world with full of people who want to be rich cannot be blessed by the God, since such people would go the hells after death in this world.

Put simply, the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus is: Be poor in this world so as to be accepted in Heaven after death in this world.  Therefore, to show your faith in the God and Christ Jesus, you have to be poor enough to be accepted in Heaven.  Then, your prayers will be surely heard by the God and Christ Jesus.

Mark 3, King James Version
22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
