Glorious Heaven   

Isaiah 57:1-2

The righteous pass away; the godly often die before their

time.  And no one seems to care or wonder why.  No one

seems to understand that God is protecting them from the

evil to come. For the godly who die will rest in peace.  (NLT)

    For people who are committed Christians, trusting in the blood of Jesus as the Christ, God promises that the moment we breathe our last breath in this life we will instantly be with the Lord forever.  This promise is rooted in the Scriptures and we can trust it fully. What a cruel joke it would be if this life was all there is—that we go through all the pain and suffering and anxiety just to die and rot in the grave.  The lies that tell us this life is all there is or there are no consequences, is from the devil and its infection has spread throughout the world.  It has caused us to live in greed, taking what we can while we can, and doing it anyway we can, regardless of the consequences. 

     But this short life is just the beginning of a very long life, and what we do in it has a great bearing on the next. There are many views about the afterlife and many people are easily fooled by the deceitful traps that give a false sense of hope. These lies are deadly, for if we take them into the grave, it's too late to change our minds.

     As a believer in Father God and His amazing redemptive Plan to save man, through the blood of His Son Jesus, you cannot afford to second guess God's motives, especially when it comes to who lives a long life and who does not. You must simply trust Him in everything. If you doubt your Sovereign God, you can easily be pulled into the deadly traps of Satan—traps that are not easy to escape from.  But when you belong to God and become His child, nothing will be able to snatch you from His Mighty Grip and you can rest a sure that when you awaken from this life's nightmare, you will be in the Glory of Heaven with Jesus and that, my friends, will be a glorious place to be.

                                  A Whisper of Hope                  

The moment you become My child...you become a citizen of Heaven and you are not left on your own to defend your citizenship. I will carry you in My arms right through Heaven's Gate.  With Me, dear child, you will always sleep in perfect peace.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with

a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and

with the trumpet call of God.  First, all the Christians who

have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with

them, we who are still alive and remain of the earth will

be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and

remain with Him forever. So comfort and encourage each

other with these words.  (NLT)

                   for I will see you face to face.”
