Our earthly marriage on earth is supposed to mirror our eternal marriage to Jesus yet I could count on one hand the marriages that look a thing like Heaven on earth!
If you are truly passionate in your love for Jesus, it should be your joy to look forward to being His beloved in Heaven! I thank God we have such an amazing future ahead of us! That helps me get through the sick & twisted world of today! My goal is to be sure no one I know & love, misses the glory of being full-tilt with Jesus!
The intimacy we will have with Him trumps anything man can conceive on earth!
I think
many Christians have yet to fall in love with Jesus! Believe me, earthly relationships pale in comparison! I’ve walked with him in Heaven & smelled the heavenly fragrance of his robe. Wow. Strength &
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
So we see the scriptural support of looking forward to His coming being rewarded with a crown of righteousness. I’m signed up for this one.
Sure been a week of testing. Pretty much all of my work got blown up. The sale of our last property got abandoned by the lender 2 days before closing for a completely illegitimate reason. We need that to sell to pay all the taxes on everything. I had a dream about a tornado two nights ago, but it did not hit our house. Last night a tornado went through our town, just south of our house. We’ve had about 5 days in a row of extreme storms they don’t usually get here. Really been struggling this week. Our finances have been getting hit bad with all this. Seems like we are getting huge resistance to all that God is working to do in our lives and having us do for His kingdom. A lot of people I know are sure getting tested hard right now. Heaven is sure going to be great.
I believe it is limited what we will know about things going on ... how could it be heaven; No more tears, sorrow, or suffering, if we are upset about what is happening to our loved ones ? I would love for you to do a teaching that will help with that question.
I’m currently reading Randy Alcorn’s Heaven, what a powerful book!
Having an eternal perception allows us to walk in the peace and joy of the Lord, living our best lives here, while knowing the life to come in glory is going to be absolutely, indescribably, incredible in every way.
Can’t wait to reign and rule with Christ with you all in the millennial.
There must be some awareness of earthly events in heaven because a majority of people experiencing NDE's report being met and greeted upon arrival in heaven by relatives or friends who have previously passed. Some recount meeting siblings they never knew about who passed before them. Some are met by people they feel a "kinship" to but, cannot identify. These must be family from earlier generations. In essence, they know we are coming.
One touching example was of a sibling who met his brother in heaven, which left him confused. This individual had spent a week in a coma and his brother had been killed during that time before his NDE. Only when he awoke did it make sense when his parents informed him that his brother had been killed in an accident.
I am trying to finally start a fellowship with the Lord, been saved for a number of years now, and have repented severally through those years but realize a need for a real fellowship with HIM and not just a relationship. Looking very much forward to this fellowship and a closer walk with HIM. I pray it goes well as I believe that we CAN build up our treasures in Heaven though I am unsure of how yet I so want to know and do it. What higher Honor is there than serving HIM and hearing HIM say”Welcome good and faithful servant, enter in to the joy of your Lord.
I have had two Christian wives. First one was for 56 years. She got to go to heaven ahead of me. I married again. I believe that both of those relationships will not be a problem in Heaven and I will know both women. In fact both will be ok with that history in heaven. All of us will be much more interesting in our new marriage to Christ.
I really look forward to that time. My first wife said (just before death from Alzheimers) that she had Christ and that she was ready to go. I have been Blessed !!!

4020 Nazarene Dr.

Excellent teaching - i thank God daily for the teachings of Jimmy, Mark and Greg. I’m so much looking forward to the marriage in Heaven with Christ foremost. And if it involves my earthly spouse, that would be a bonus. If not, I’m in Heaven with Christ - what more can I say 😊
I was heartbroken to lose my lovely husband last year and further broken when I realised we would no longer be married! We truly had " a marriage made in Heaven". How can I go from that to just being a good friend?! If we are no longer married how then can we still be parents; it's very hard to get my head around! I do find people tend to speculate on how things will be because there isn't much Biblical explanation. Just can't imagine how being married to Jesus will actually be like with my limited, human understanding! Sorry just being honest!
I would like to think that our friends, and relatives can check in on us, but there is no direct verses, that I'am aware of this, that state this. A pastor on You tube talks about this also. His name is Pastor Allen Nolan. The only thing I want to know is how old will we be in our glorified body's!!!!!

I pray that we will be caught up soon with the Lord. I pray that my family, myself and others are worthy to escape the coming Tribulation 🙏

May The LORD richly bless you Pastor Greg!

It's so exciting but praying for my relatives that don't know Jesus. Time is short and I'm on my knees.
I have had two Christian wives. First one was for 56 years. She got to go to heaven ahead of me. I married again.

I really liked Randy Alcorn's book "Heaven".
