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.”

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
