“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13) The things we need are in the hands of a loving God who has provided for us up until this… Continue reading Solutions From Heaven

Preparation For Heaven
Was your first thought about this title getting right, repenting, and/or somehow pleasing God? These can be appropriate considerations in certain circumstances, but think about what Yeshua has done and been doing throughout our lives, then we take our last breath and give up our sprit to God as Yeshua did on the cross. He… Continue reading Preparation For Heaven
Angels and mankind
There is a song which says, "Jesus, King of Angels". I've thought more than once, "Jesus is the King of Man, not of angels". Of course, He is king of everything which includes Angels too. Angels are an interesting topic of many books. Scripture says, "Or do you not know that the Lord's people will… Continue reading Angels and mankind
Enter Heaven’s Realm
There will be a time in everyone's existence where all the shadows are illuminated, revealing a startling reality, a shuddering awareness as we enter the realm of everlasting day. The presence of God will fill all with glory, perceived in awe, fear and wonder. Everyone will encounter their Creator, Father God, to give an account and… Continue reading Enter Heaven’s Realm
Heaven Lost
Heaven is described in the Bible and most everyone would like to go to heaven. The Eastern religions do not describe a delightful heaven, but rather, depict an absence of earth's pain or a nirvana of nothingness after an endless cycle of reincarnation. Islam promises seventy virgins to martyr's in Allah's jihad, which sounds rather… Continue reading Heaven Lost
A View of Death
I experienced a dream of dying which was filled with emotion and questioning. Each of us will face, whether consciously or not, a point where we breath our last breath. Breathing is an involuntary action, but when air is denied we become desperate to have the life giving element. Frantic though we may be, there… Continue reading A View of Death
Your Anchor
I will never forget the images of Christian Kurds/Arabs captured by Isis, lined up upon their knees. They were praying verbally to Yeshua to endure what was coming. Scripture reveals two important and related anchors in such senarios - Hope and Heaven's attention. As Stephen was martyred he looked up, " 'Look,' he said, 'I… Continue reading Your Anchor
Human Construction
We humans are made in the image of God, meaning we have an appearance of Him. The similarity may be in our triune existence of spirit, soul, and body, as God is Father, Son, and Spirit. I believe this is true and it separates us from the other creatures on the planet in so many… Continue reading Human Construction
Our New Name
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” Revelation… Continue reading Our New Name
The Revelation
Someone said something to me and I assumed I understood, until I saw what they actually meant. I was given a message that made sense, but it was not specific or in context, so my understanding was incomplete. I could have speculated about various details and meanings of the message, but a complete picture would… Continue reading The Revelation
The Fury of God
"And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And they shall go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither… Continue reading The Fury of God
Made In The Image Of God
God is a three-part person, one God of three inseparable, yet distinct parts. We are made in God's image, we look like Him, and that image encompasses the trinity. (Gen. 1: 26-27; Gen 5:1; Gen. 9:6). It might be that we are unique, as are other heavenly creatures and it may be that the human… Continue reading Made In The Image Of God
It Is There In Heaven
C.S. Lewis wrote, "No amount of falls will really undo us if we keep on picking ourselves up each time. We shall of course be very muddy and tattered children by the time we reach home. But the bathrooms are all ready, the towels put out, and the clean clothes in the airing cupboard." This… Continue reading It Is There In Heaven
The Near Future
When I get to heaven, I'm going to be able to play the heavenly instruments and write some music and sing songs that flow from the Lord. Heaven will be populated with the redeemed saints, spirits of righteous men made perfect. (Heb. 12:23). God will be there, nothing will separate us from Him and we… Continue reading The Near Future
Visions of God
Moses was maybe the person who saw Father God most clearly, at least His Glory. He asked to see God and God put him under a rock to protect him from a face to face encounter, then allowed Moses to see his back as He passed. (Exodus 33:18-23). Of course many people saw Yeshua, who… Continue reading Visions of God
Resurrection
Judeo-Christian teaching is full of the concept of the after life including much on heaven - the kingdom of God and some on Hell, Hades, and eternal punishment. For Believers Heaven is our goal, to be eternally in God's glorious presence, and "saved" from God's wrath and eternal torment. We are encouraged to think of… Continue reading Resurrection
Myths on Earth
When we enter into the afterlife we will be free of many lies, conjecture, assumption, misunderstanding, and deception that we held while on earth. For many, the most obvious will be the existence in which we enter, but this will be of no surprise to Christians, as we look forward to it from the beginning; although… Continue reading Myths on Earth
