About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HEAVEN?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HEAVEN?
I GUESS THE FIRST HEAVEN MUST BE THE ATMOSPHERE THAT SURROUNDS THE EARTH. LAMENTATIONS 4:19 TALKS OF THE EAGLES OF THE HEAVENS AND SAYS "Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven".
THE SECOND HEAVEN MUST BE SPACE. JEREMIAH 8:2 TALKS ABOUT THE HOST OF HEAVEN BEING THE SUN AND MOON WHERE IT SAYS "And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth".
NOW THE THIRD HEAVEN HAS TO BE WHERE GOD DWELLS BECAUSE OF WHAT PAUL TELLS US IN 2ND CORINTHIANS 12:4 WHERE HE SAYS "How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." HEAVEN IS OFTEN CALLED PARADISE AND EVEN JESUS CALLS IT THIS WHEN TALKING TO ONE OF THE THIEVES BEING CRUCIFIED WITH HIM WHEN HE SAID IN LUKE 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise".
I WROTE ON HEAVEN THIS MORNING BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE BELIEVING THAT JESUS IS FAR AWAY FROM THEM WAY UP IN HEAVEN. HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE US AND SAID THAT GOD WOULD SEND A COMFORTER, HOLY SPIRIT, TO DWELL IN US. THIS IS THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. DO YOU KNOW WHAT POWER YOU HAVE LIVING INSIDE OF YOU THAT YOU CAN DRAW ON. NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY JESUS TOLD US TO HEAL THE SICK, RAISE THE DEAD AND CAST OUT DEVILS.
WE HAVE THE POWER TO DO ALL OF THAT BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST CHRISTIANS DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL WORK FOR THEM AND WHEN THEY BELIEVE THIS WAY, IT WON'T. WE MUST HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO ALL OF THESE COMMANDMENTS. YES, I SAID COMMANDMENTS. HE DIDN'T SAY TRY TO HEAL THE SICK, RAISE THE DEAD AND CAST OUT DEVILS, DID HE?
SO WHEN YOU ARE PRAYING, DON'T LOOK UP BUT INSTEAD LOOK DOWN WHERE YOUR HEART IS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE JESUS DWELLS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Well David your right about head knowledge and the heart. God does search the heart but he does not use google. He knows our thoughts. People are blind and many don't care to see. Many are lost in the world. And God appointed people to preach the gospel and evangelize it throughout the world.
Bless YOU
HI WAYNE,
WE CERTAINLY DO NEED TO FOLLOW HIM AND NOT WITH JUST HEAD KNOWLEDGE BUT MOST OF ALL HEART KNOWLEDGE. IT IS TRUE THAT HE HAS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO ATTEND TO BUT HE DOES NOT NEED ANY HELP AS THAT IS WHY HE SENT HOLY SPIRIT TO LIVE IN US ALL. WE ARE COMMANDED TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR THEM IN AN EFFORT TO LEAD THEM TO SALVATION. IF ANYONE WANTS TO GIVE A REAL GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS, LEAD SOMEONE TO JESUS. SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD AND WILL BE THE BEST GIFT THEY COULD EVER RECEIVE.
IT IS A SHAME THAT SOME PEOPLE PAY MORE ATTENTION TO SANTA AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR THAN THEY DO JESUS, THE "REAL BIBLICAL" ONE, AS YOU CALL HIM. CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT ABOUT JESUS AND NOT LET THEM JUST FOCUS ON SANTA AND GETTING PRESENTS. PARENTS HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT JESUS AND I AM AFRAID IT IS NOT BEING DONE VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS WAYNE. I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THAT GOD BLESSES YOU ALL ABUNDANTLY.
WITH MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS,
DAVID
