Brother Ted Martin died and went to heaven.
He was met at the front gate by St. Peter, who let him know that he needed one hundred points to make it in the pearly gates.
“You tell me all the good things you have done, and I’ll give you points according to your deed. When you reach one hundred, I’ll swing open the gates.”
“Okay,” Brother Martin reported, “I was head usher at First Baptiste for fifty years.”
“That’s wonderful,” says Peter, “that’s worth two points.”
“I was married to the same woman for almost sixty-five years and never cheated on her.”
“Remarkable,” Peter declared, “here are three more points.”
“Only three?” Ted frowned. “How about this? I started a soup kitchen in the inner city and worked in a homeless shelter.”
“Terrific, and here are two more points.”
Brother Martin’s eyes opened wide, and he yelled,
“Two points! At this rate the only way I’ll get into heaven is by the grace of God!”
“Come on in!”

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God.
Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us.
In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction.
Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com.
You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine.
