HEAVEN: IS IT REAL?

Rev. DL Whittaker, Washington

 

 

We have heard of heaven all of, Most of Our Lives, and how we put it all into a meaningful place in our lives. Because we have never seen Heaven, Most of us can't fathom what it must be like, but it we think about it hard and long enough, we can't possibly know that we want to go there, unless we first believe that there is a Heaven. 

 

I am just simple enough to believe, that if it weren't a real place, An Awesome place, Promised by our Awesome and Sovereign Heavenly Father, He would never promise me  something that ultimately wasn't good for me, so yes, I really do want to go there.

 

To believe in Heaven, I must also believe that Hell exists, and No, I do not wish to go there. But I have a real big choice in the matter.  I do know this, however, that if I continue a walk contrary to what God teaches, Hell will be a very real destination.

 

Is it all a myth?  I hardly think so.  Is Heaven here on this earth?  I hardly think so. Why? - Because Heaven can't be contaminated.  This earth is contaminated, and a perfect Heaven, can't be on this earth.   There are times, however, that I almost know Hell is on this earth, by the way people think, and behave.  But no matter how hellish this earth may get, there is a hell Far Worse than this.

Just read the Word, Jesus is coming. We have heard this forever, but we must believe it is true. Thus, we have to have our bags packed, because He comes at an hour we think not. So folks, change your thoughts, change your ways. Get rid of all the excess baggage, i.e. the hate, the unforgiveness, etc. Anything that is not of God, will keep us out of the kingdom. 

 

In the Lord's Prayer, part of it reads:  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, IN EARTH, In ME. I was created from earth. Not ON Earth, on ME,  God's perfect will can only be done in me, not on me.

 

So my dear family, Let’s take inventory as we start a new year, and make sure that, If He Comes, Our lamps will be trimmed and we will be ready.

 

God Bless Your New Year
