Heaven is for real


Heaven is not some fantasy destination. It is a very real place. So unimaginably, beautiful and grand our earthly minds cannot begin to comprehend its splendor! We can read in Revelation 21 and 22 that it is a walled city with very definite dimensions. There are twelve gates, the tree of life, the river of life, and many streets and buildings made of gold with inlays of precious stones. God’s awesome glory is the only light needed to illuminate His heavenly city! Time has no measure there. Jesus offered His disciples hope and encouragement concerning His death, resurrection and ascension into heaven so they would not be worried or confused about His death. As He explained to them; He was leaving earth for a special place with God, His Father. He told them He was going to prepare a place for His followers so that they could be with Him in heaven.

Thankfully, Jesus did not leave us stranded, and alone. Absolutely not! Death has no victory for believers in Jesus Christ! We read with all faith and knowledge of His promise; “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:1-3). What a wonderful Savior you are Jesus!

We all have fear and doubt. They are not strangers to anyone of us. Some of us fear the unknown, sickness or dying. We hear of death almost every day it seems.Regardless of what our fear is though, all fear is based in our lack of trust and dependency on God. As we focus on God and His love for us we are not afraid, no matter what the circumstances are; (1 John 4:18) “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.”

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
