We all need to look forward and not back! Jesus has prepared a mansion for us there! I find the more heavenly minded I am the more earthly good I become! The more we think about heaven and replace thoughts about the cares of this life the more peace we have! When we understand what God has prepared for us his peace will enter us here on earth! Flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of God! We cannot inherit heaven in this corrupted body of sin! We have to leave it in the grave! In fact Jesus will resurrect my body after I leave it in the grave! That is what he did for Lazarus! He will do it for you! Think about our new body in heaven? Never get sick or never get old! No sin in it’s members! The Trinity of my mind, soul and body for the first time is in agreement with each other in redemption, purity and Glory! Time will no longer be my enemy but my friend! The God standard is the gold standard! The streets are paved with the stuff! There is a rainbow in heaven! It surrounds the Throne! To remind us of his covenant with man! Only in heaven will your post it note be a rainbow! A trumpet is blowing in heaven! The sound of music! Announcing the King is here! The reality of heaven does not need a Bud lite to drown out reality! Your high continues in heaven forever! No more war and no more conflict! Swords are turned into plow shares! Not a party to celebrate the last victory but to celebrate that future victories are already won! Victory over death, hell and the grave for all that call on his name! Death was resurrected at Calvary into life forever! The light of Christ! No sun is needed in heaven! The God that created the sun burns brighter! His glory is reflected through the beautiful stones of jasper, sardis and the emerald! The rainbow takes the white light of Christ and through the midst of water from the Thrown gives us a colored light show beyond description! The same midst that watered the earth before rain came to the earth! The twenty four elders have a front row seat in heaven! The twelve disciples of Jesus and the twelve patriarchs of the Old Testament! Those that paid with their lives to promote heaven on earth! They wore golden crowns! They cast them down at the feet of Jesus! The crowns were gifts to them from God! They belong to him! They cried out, “Only you are worthy my Lord and my God!” As we look forward it gets better! Out of his throne comes lightnings, thunder and voices! His power is displayed! No one can stand before him! Every knee shall bow! Every tongue confess! You are worthy to receive glory and honor! Only you have delivered me from my sin! No other name under heaven and earth can deliver me! Redeemed by the blood! Seven lamps of fire representing the seven Spirits of God! Seven means completion! His fire consumes and purifies his church! Can you imagine a sea of glass? Your street is crystal glass under your feet! Complete transparency! Nothing hidden there! No sin! No darkness! No rebellion against God! No war! The door of heaven is open to us! The four beasts of heaven are not caged animals! The lion lays down with the lamb! The white horse prepared for Jesus to ride back to earth leading the saints is saddled and ready! Death has no place in heaven! It was brought to earth by the fall of men into sin! Even the animals in heaven worship Christ! Everything except sin was first in heaven before it came to earth! The beasts sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty! You are worthy to receive Glory and Honor! You created all things! Christ has prepared a place for us in Heaven! God has left his light on for you! Will you make a reservation? James and Hamsa Sasse.
