Hi all,
The
last 3 weeks I've been sharing 'quantum physics' things, and today I'm
starting on a tangent from that - talking about the relationship between
heaven and earth, and related things I've seen in heaven.
But first, some basics
Hebrews 12:1 says "Therefore, seeing that we are surrounded with such a large cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us."
He
isn't bringing up the cloud of witnesses to make a doctrinal statement,
but rather to encourage us that they have gone ahead, and it is worth
it. In the previous chapter he had described the faith of many men and
women, even alluding to Isaiah's death of being sawn in two. These all
and more are included in the cloud of witnesses, so therefore go forth
with confidence - it is worth it and heaven is real!
Verses supporting this...
In
Luke 24:44 the risen Lord says to His disciples, "Don't you remember
when I was with you I told you these things?", clearly though now
resurrected He kept His memory of His life on earth intact. You remember
everything, nothing is lost. Remember in The Revelation 7:17
and 21:4 it says the Father will wipe away our tears - clearly a
reference to memories from this life still fresh, but one day all pain
will be gone.
Remember Moses and Elijah appeared to a glorified Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, as Luke 9:31
says, "and spoke to Him of His death which would happen at Jerusalem."
Moses and Elijah had long since departed, but here they were talking
form the Mosaic Law (Moses) about the type and shadows Jesus would fulfill by His death and resurrection, and the Prophets (Elijah) sharing the prophecies about the same. They had been long gone, yet they knew exactly what was going on.
In The Revelation, 6:10
the apostle John who was 'in the Spirit' taken to heaven and shown
future events, describes a multitude of saints before the Father's
throne asking "How long oh Lord holy and true until you judge the
inhabitants of the earth and avenge us?" Those people remembered their
lives on earth, clearly.
That doesn't mean...
That
doesn't mean your long gone great great grandmother is watching you use
the bathroom, lol. But it does mean they are aware of what is happening
on earth.
During
my 'tour' of heaven my angel and I walked past a group of people that
included about a dozen adults and 2 young children, a boy and a girl.
The girl seemed to be maybe 5 or 6, and the boy was less than 2 years
old. They were all gathered around a tree and the adults were talking
amongst themselves, and the girl was sitting cross legged with her back
against the tree, her little brother crawling all over her and around.
The adults were clearly engaged with the little children, and the
feeling in the air around them was like a family reunion, with several
conversations going on at once in the group.
As
we walked by I asked what I was seeing, and the angel explained they
were all aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents of those children,
going back several generations. But there was clearly a generation not
present - the parents of the children. So I asked, "Where are their
parents?"
He
said, "These 2 were killed in a car accident in (US State), but their
parents survived. In heaven when possible, children are raised by their
relatives." I was once again astonished, and said, "I need chapter and
verse on that!" He didn't hesitate: "You've read what Paul wrote in
Ephesians 3:14 and 15, 'For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.' There is only one family, (he paused to let me take that in) so when a child comes here they are raised when possible by relatives."
Sharing something personal
My
mother died in 2006, but she was first in the Lord in our family,
having sought Him after dad left our family. She loved the Lord, but was
rather limited in her knowledge due to the constraints of her
denomination, and I shared with her many of my experiences with the Lord
through the years.
Her
body was cremated and we had a small service at the church, her ashes
being buried in a small church yard and garden provided for such things.
Once back at my sister's house we were playing in the in-ground pool,
relaxing, reflecting, and for me, floating. Suddenly standing at the
edge of the pool I saw my angel, with my mother on his right side, plain
as day. Next to her was someone obscured in the light of heaven and
whose face was thus obscured.
I
was amazed, and just stared. My eyes were wide open and I looked over
at my sister on her lounge chair, then to my brother playing in the
pool, and then back. Mom looked to be about 35, not the 72 year old
world-worn woman she was when she died. In fact later that week we were
going through a box of old photographs and found a Church Directory
picture of us all in about 1968, when mom was about 34, and she looked
almost identical in her hair and face.
But
I was just stunned to see my angel and mom standing side by side on the
edge of the pool. I've seen my angel more times than I can count, but I
didn't expect this! She didn't hesitate: "John! Everything you said
about heaven is true! But you didn't tell the half of it! I'm having the
time of my life, seeing old friends and relatives, and even meeting
some who knew me as a child but I never knew. John! Live your life! Live
your life!" and they suddenly disappeared and I have't seen her since.
Barb
and I wonder if that third person was the miscarried brother or sister
that was between me and my next younger brother. I don't know.
I've
run out of room for today - more next week - seeing that we are
surrounded with such a cloud, let us run the race with godliness...until
then, blessings,

New CD/MP3 Series
In
this series John shares some of what the Lord told him during
visitations that explain how the Lord did things like walk through
crowds that were trying to kill Him, and how He walked on water. Also
covered are the effects of God's light in us on the demonic realm, and
the properties of light, how heaven is larger on the inside than the
outside, different dimensions, and so on. The setting is higher laws and
lower laws, and how we can walk in higher ways and thoughts, cause
God's higher ways to dominate our lives, and how to let His peace flow
outward to those around us. You will be inspired and learn how to walk
in higher ways in life, and will look at scripture and yourself a bit
differently, as the Lord sees you and your life and destiny.
Just a word about our On-line Video Bible School
- these classes, so far; Old Testament I & II, Righteousness and
Our Authority in Christ - are a go-at-your-own-pace, no test, investment
in your own faith and understanding of the Word and Lord. Once
registered, your password is good for a whole year so you can take your
time, but as I'm hearing from students, once they start they have a hard
time stopping! Each class is about 45-55 minutes long, so they are in
easy to receive segments...consider investing in a deeper study of the
things of God!
