LIFE IN HEAVEN – PART THIRTY-TWO
Saturday – December 1, 2018, Kislev 23, 5779
TIME FRAME FIVE
Ephesians 4:8 to 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17
JESUS BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT TO THE CATCHING AWAY
Greetings dear saints of God and welcome back to another Saturday edition of this teaching about life in Heaven. We have a tremendous amount of knowledge already without even realizing for life in the earth reflects life in Heaven from the beginning. Of course, life in the earth with sin has gotten horribly perverted from the original intent of God. However, in spite of this the Old Testament saints had a Covenant that brought a very high standard of natural life and we have an even better Covenant ratified with the precious Blood of Christ. Brothers and sister, I realize that life in Heaven is going to far exceed any life we may attain to in this earth. However, with that said, we are living way, way, below what God has made possible for us in our Covenant with Him sealed with the Blood of the Lamb. The Church as a whole has not been taught the value of the Word of God only about salvation and perhaps the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We have not been taught that our thoughts and words are our destiny. We have not been taught that we are indeed kings and priests in the earth. If we don’t say it, it does not get done. We are the mouth and the hands of God in the earth.
As you know, hopefully you have been diligently studying this material week to week, I am now talking about the fifth time-frame that the Lord gave me to discuss. Within that time-frame I have been pointing out that there are Pillars in Heaven and earth that provide order and organization. There are seven pillars ordained or appointed of the Lord.
Proverbs 9:1 (KJV)
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
The seven pillars established by God, by Wisdom, are as follows; 1. Religion, 2. Government, 3. Media and Information, 4. Education and Science, 5. Business and Finance, 6. family, and 7. Arts and entertainment. Seven is the number of spiritual completions.
Family Pillar
Today I will be picking up with the Family Pillar which is pillar number six. Let me point out that I have not listed these pillars in any particular order. All of the pillars need major attention from the people of God to bring them into a more Godly order in spite of the heathen in each pillar. It is commonly recognized even in secular society and more importantly in Scripture that the cornerstone of society beyond the individual is the family. The strength and cohesiveness of the family will be reflected in the other pillars. When I refer to strength in a family I am not just talking about love and loyalty regarding our family but a solid anchor upon Scripture. It is foundational, pivotal, that the family have a firm foundation upon God, upon His Holy Book. I am not talking about knowing Scripture or about Scripture, I am talking about thinking, talking, and doing Scripture. Without Holy Scripture as a foundation in any life there is a wide-open door for the enemy to bring his lies. He can bring and instill those lies when we rely upon our own reasonings and not the Scripture and reasonings with our Heavenly Father. When we receive those lies and make them our thoughts, our words, and our actions we enter and are operating in the kingdom of the evil ones and they (evil spirits) will bring stealing, killing, and destroying into our lives (particularly those in the Church).
One of these days when we enter Heaven we will met and will spend time with family, meeting ancestors we may have never known about. Those ancestors in their time no doubt prayed for their families and God is honoring those prayers up to a thousand generations. Those prayers of intercession for their immediate family and those to come may be the primary reason that we are living and talking with them in Heaven and not Hell. I suspect our times with family in Heaven will be much like here without the baloney. I am not talking about baloney meat but discord. In Heaven and in earth the senior (most mature, not the oldest) family members will be responsible for seeing to it that the junior members receive all instruction in righteousness. Just as there is a responsibility for parents in the earth to instruct their children, families, so there will be in Heaven as well. Teaching his children is the one characteristic of Abraham that God notes as a wonderful part of his Godly character.
Genesis 18:17-19 (KJV)
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
The LORD is talking about Abraham here as a mature person, what we might refer to as a mature (not old) Christian. If Abraham had a Covenant to be rich and famous and we have a better Covenant in the Blood of Jesus what is holding us back? We also are to be a blessing to many peoples perhaps even to peoples all over the earth. God uses a strong word, command, with regard to the instruction of the children concerning keeping “the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.” Notice this instruction of the next generation especially in our own home is intricate to our walking in the promises of God. Sometimes the way we approach this on earth is in a “preachy” fashion which turns people off and when they quit listening we have failed in a fundamental duty. They need to see the real deal in operation in our lives!
Until our next publication, confess the following passage and walk before Whom we have to do with great rejoicing and thanksgiving. This physical body is our humiliation but soon it will be no more for the glory of God and our eternal benefit.
John 14:1-4 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
