WELCOME TO COFFEE WITH GOD 

By Pastor Jerri

WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE

The bible says every good gift and every perfect gift are from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, no shadow of turning. Everything we enjoy as Christians.... the way our bodies are made, the way we see, smell, taste, the things God made for us to see, beauty and delight in things on this earth which are all things God made for us to enjoy. James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

We take vacations and go see the beautiful things God has created on this earth. We worship God as we look at the beauty we see. The birds, butterflies, the animals, the sky, all the things God created for us here. The bible says that is but a “SHADOW OF HEAVEN”. So, we will have things like they are here only without sin! Evil will be taken out and only the good things will be there for us to enjoy as God had wanted in the beginning. God will show us things that we cannot even imagine here when we get to heaven! Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

We will have food in heaven. Just look at all the things Jesus ate after He left the tomb. In His new heavenly body, He did a lot of things, like walk through walls, appear and disappear at will. Leave one place and be in another. Our heavenly bodies will be amazing, for Jesus said we would be like Him in heaven! Mark 14:25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. In His resurrected body Jesus ate: Luke 24:42-43 "They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them".  We will have feasts in heaven as well and sit with the Old Testament leaders! Matthew 8:11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world from east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. When Jesus told them they would attend a banquet in heaven! Luke 14:15 Hearing this, a man sitting at the table with Jesus exclaimed, “What a blessing it will be to attend a banquet in the Kingdom of God! We will be eating at the marriage supper, so we can expect a celebration involving food with the Lord. Revelation 19:9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”

We will have new bodies in heaven, and we will be with Jesus: 1 Corinthians 15:42-54 talks about how our earthly bodies will die, but God will give us heavenly bodies. When our earthly body dies our spirit body will go to be with Christ in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

We will remember things in heaven! Luke 16:22-28 Talks about two men dying, one went to Abrahams side, the other went to hell. The one in hell could see the one with Abraham... in this story we see that in death we know who we are, and we remember others... for this man in hell ask Abraham to please tell his five brothers about hell so they will not come here! Abraham knew what was going on and so did the man in hell. Then there is the scripture that talks about those killed for their faith how they remember. Revelation 6:9–10 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood.

They remembered they were killed and who killed them. We will know who we are and who our people are. Remember that in Matthew 17:1-4 The transfiguration where Peter, James and John recognized Moses and Elijah with Jesus. How did they know them as they had never met them? Jesus gave them wisdom to know, we will have wisdom to know in heaven as well.

We will rest in heaven and our good deeds will go with us: Revelation 14: And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!

We will worship and sing in heaven: John 4:23 But the time is coming indeed it’s here now when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

Revelation 19:1 After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting, “Praise the Lord!  Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.

Some other facts about what will be in heaven: 2 Timothy 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. We will have an inheritance in heaven, 1 Peter 1:4 and we have a priceless inheritance an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. They found a better place by going to heaven, Hebrews 11:16 But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

God did all this because He wanted to! Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”

In conclusion: Knowing all this, who would want to refuse our Lord and Savior!?! This life is short as I have said many times. Our life to come in heaven is forever! Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and live a life that is pleasing to Him. To be a follower of Christ one must change from the worlds way to living God's way. Say you live to be a hundred, so think a hundred years here, to eternity in heaven, which do you choose? Jesus is inviting you to come live with Him in heaven forever, accept Him as your Lord and Savior today so you can go to this wonderful place “HEAVEN”.

THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION IS FOR ALL

Romans 10:9-10 ESV because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

I pray everyone who reads this will seek to know God in the deep and wonderful way of Salvation, all who will accept Jesus as their Savior will receive Salvation and your name will be in the BOOK OF LIFE. Remember that accepting Jesus as Savior means repentance and change in your life!
