Hi,
Here is what the Lord is telling me in these troubled times.

A Call to HOLINESS July 22, 2010
There is a call to HOLINESS like I have never felt before. God is giving us the power needed to do this. God wants us as clean on the inside as on the outside. Many are much like the Pharisees. They want to worship and pray and look like they are holy and righteous to the world but the Father sees deeper than the world. He sees the heart and all the blackness that is still there. His holiness is possible only when we learn to walk in the Glory Realm. When we talk, think, act and do like Jesus showed us in every area of our lives. When we pretend, He sees right through us. He is bringing forth His Bride, those that are learning to walk in holiness, and He is showing them how to also see right through the deception. He wants us fully committed and consecrated to Himself!
Jesus longs for us to come into the bridal chamber to be with Him but we are not ready. We need to take off the garments that are soiled and allow ourselves to be cleansed and made ready, just as Ester was. Instead we look away from the mirror that would show our true self and we are deceived into thinking that we are ready for the bridegroom. Awake and clean the glass so that you can see yourself clearly. See yourself with all your flaws and faults so that they can be erased and you can be made new. Do not deceive yourself any longer. Awake for the time is drawing near for the Bridegroom to come. Remember that not all who came to the wedding feast were allowed to stay, as some were not dressed in proper attire. Our attire needs to be holiness and purity on the inside. We need to be different from the "world" and not mimic it. We need to set the example for the "world " to see so that they will want to be ready when the Bridegroom comes.
Prepare now while there is still time, for the hour is coming when you will not be able to do this. Look deep within yourself and then allow the Holy Spirit to do what is necessary to help you be prepared and walk in the holiness needed for this hour! Awake and see yourself clearly!

Run With Me
My holy people; it is not about experiences, it is about the long journey with Me.
Are you desiring only to receive extraordinary experiences, or do you desire to run with Me day to day? My strength comes to those who walk with Me, who run with Me, who journey with Me every day, for it is in the daily walk that you need My strength and where you will enjoy life with Me.
Throw away the trappings of religion that would tell you to seek Me for this experience or that experience. Plunge into the reality of living with Me, walking with me, running with Me every day. Spend time with Me in the place prepared for you, so you may know what is upon My Great Heart. Then run with Me throughout your day, for it is in the journey of living life every moment at My side that great blessing comes to you.
I am building your life in Me. Trust Me to do this work. Trust Me to do what no man can do for you. Trust Me to create in you a heart that yearns to follow in My steps daily. My Great Heart yearns for you to follow Me in this way.
Just like My Son did, I desire you to follow after Me in the same way; journey with Me in the same way. Great strength and great blessing will come to you as you learn of Me and as you journey with Me. Seek My Face. Call upon My Name. Run with Me.

Thank You, Barack Obama!
Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation and for that, I thank him.
Gary Hubbell
Aspen Times Weekly February 2010
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America 's future. He is the best thing ever.
Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America 's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.
That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America .
Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.
Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.
Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.
We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.
But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.
A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.
Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years - the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

He Is Rightous
God is never wrong. He has never rendered a wrong decision, experienced the wrong attitude, taken the wrong path, said the wrong thing, or acted the wrong way. He is never too late or too early, too loud or too soft, too fast or too slow. He has always been and always will be right. He is righteous.
– Max Lucado
“The LORD did not hesitate to bring the disaster upon us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him.” Daniel 9:14

Snapshots Of Heaven
A Home of Harmony
Just before His death, Jesus comforted His disciples with these words of promise: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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. 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” (John 14:1–3).
The apostle Paul elaborated on Christ’s promise with this beautiful description: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). He goes on to say, “Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (v. 18).
And isn’t it true? Don’t these words bring real comfort to your heart—a thrill to your soul to think that Jesus is, at this very moment, preparing a beautiful home for you in a place where peace, love, harmony, and unity really exist? History shows that mankind cannot manufacture this kind of place. All of its best efforts have always ended in defeat and disappointment. It’s a proven point that all the greatest political, military, economic, and spiritual leaders have not and never will be successful in forging utopia.
But God will be successful. “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). With Jesus as your Savior, you will see the dawning of a new day, an entirely new order of things!
Snapshots of Heaven
So now that we know it’s just a matter of time, what exactly will this heavenly home be like? Many people picture heaven as a somewhat eerie place where ethereal spirits sit around on clouds, wearing halos, and strumming golden harps. I don’t know about you, but frankly, this depiction sounds pretty boring to me! Fortunately, the Bible gives us quite a different picture. Several passages in Scripture provide some fascinating insights into the heaven that’s to come. You see, God wants us to know that heaven is a real place; and better, it’s more real and more fulfilling than anything we’ve ever known.
The Bible speaks of a beautiful city called the New Jerusalem, which will be God’s headquarters. It is described in Revelation 21 and 22. The picture these chapters paint is mind-boggling! First, the city is huge. It stands 375 miles on each side! (If placed on this earth, New Jerusalem would cover most of North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland, and parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky!)
Second, the city is incredibly beautiful. It has magnificent walls made of solid jasper with 12 foundations, each made from a different type of precious stone, including sapphire, emerald, topaz, and amethyst. And the city’s 12 gates are each made of a single pearl!
The streets of the city are made of a gold so pure that it appears as transparent glass. But we also learn that the streets are not made to simply look at and admire. Zechariah 8:5 says that “the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing.” Not only will New Jerusalem be a breathtaking, shimmering sight, it will also be a place to have fun and rejoice.
But most awesome, God Himself will dwell among the redeemed within the midst of the city, and a glorious rainbow surrounds His majestic throne (Revelation 4:3). From beneath His throne, the river of life springs, and on both sides of this river, the tree of life produces a fresh crop of different fruit every month.
Even Better Homes and Gardens
If the walls, foundation, and streets are this beautiful and spectacular, just imagine what your home will be like—the one that Jesus custom-made for you! What an awe-inspiring privilege and reward to have the Chief Architect of the Universe, who knows your heart’s desires even better than you do, designing and building your own unique home in this city!
But don’t you do-it-yourselfers get discouraged. It’s clear that you won’t just be sitting around in the New Jerusalem, twiddling your thumbs without something to do. You’ll have the opportunity to build a country home in the new earth as well. “And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands” (Isaiah 65:21, 22).
An important aspect of this utopian new world order will be the biosphere of heaven: its lifecycle will be eternal, not one cursed with the decay and death of this sin-infected world. The Creation story makes it clear that all of those negative biological processes entered our world as a result of catastrophic sin (Genesis 3:17–19).
Thorns will not be around in heaven to pierce your hands, nor will thistles scratch at your feet. Bugs will not bite, and leaves will not die. Sure, it’s a little daunting to comprehend how all this will work scientifically—but our minds are limited by what they’re familiar with. Heaven will change all that too.
Ever Learning
Indeed, our brains will certainly never get bored in heaven; you won’t miss your TV, and your kids won’t remember what a video game means. There will be more to see and do than we ever imagined here on earth, enough to stimulate our minds for eternity.
We’ll be able to trace our family tree right back to Noah and Adam. We will be able to personally visit with many of the people we’ve only read about before (Matthew 8:11). I look forward to talking with Moses and understanding more fully how he played a role in God’s great plan!
Furthermore, God and His angels will be there to answer many of the questions that have perplexed us here for 6,000 years; we’ll probably have questions we didn’t even know there were to ask! We will also have an endless list of fascinating things to study. Perhaps Shakespeare said it best when he wrote: “There are more things in heaven and earth ... than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
Animals in Heaven
One of the great benefits of this utopian ecosystem will be that animals will not prey upon one another for food. We are told that “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox” (Isaiah 11:6, 7). And further, “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 65:25).
Obviously, this means quite literally that there’ll be pets in heaven. In fact, every animal could potentially be a pet because none of them will be wild; they will not be afraid of us, nor us of them.
God does everything perfectly, and in heaven, everyone will find complete love and happiness—including companionship with God’s other creatures.
People often wonder whether their pets and furry friends from earth will be with them in heaven. Some say this is impossible because animals don’t have immortal souls, much less souls. However, this isn’t a hindrance at all. Humans don’t have immortal souls either; only God has unconditional immortality (1 Timothy 6:13–16). He will bless His people with immortality as a gift of His grace at the end of the age (2 Timothy 1:10).
So if the all-powerful God of the universe wants to surprise and delight us with the gift of resurrected kittens, puppies, horses, fish, rabbits, birds, snakes, turtles, or whatever other critters we love on this earth, He is certainly able to do so! By granting this, in no way would He violate His moral absolutes. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Celebrating With New Friends and Old Faces
Human exploration of the cosmos and space travel will know no limits. The Bible declares that Jesus created all the worlds seen and unseen (Hebrews 1:2). And the last time I checked, more than 200 billion suns have been photographed by California’s 200-inch telescope. So it would seem plausible that we will find other inhabited worlds, visiting with other created beings! Isaiah 45:18 also says of our world, “He created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited.” Those other solar systems must be “created not in vain.” They light a multitude of worlds.
Another scriptural clue is found in Job 1:6. “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.” In Luke 3:38, Adam is called “the son of God.” It’s quite possible that the “sons of God” in that heavenly council meeting are the first created beings from other planets. Adam should have represented earth, but Satan usurped his birthright. Fortunately, the first Adam’s, and subsequently all of humanity’s, rights were bought back by the second Adam, Jesus (1 Corinthians15). We cannot be positively sure that this is what the passage in Job refers to, but many in the Christian world agree this scenario is possible.
The Bible also assures us that the righteous loved ones we lost here on earth will be raised to join the living in God’s kingdom (Isaiah 26:19; 1 Corinthians 15:51–55; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18). Being reunited with the redeemed we loved here is undoubtedly one of the things we will enjoy the most. Imagine just how deeply moved you will be when a baby or child you lost will be brought to you and placed in your arms! And think about looking into the eyes of a parent, spouse, or close friend who passed away before you, and then embracing their vibrant, glorified bodies and knowing you will never need to part again!
Heavenly Music
Thrilling music is often mentioned in connection with heaven, so you can be sure that playing instruments and singing God’s praises will be a big part of our eternal experience. Our Creator is one of immense diversity. I’m sure we’ll enjoy an endless variety of delightful music; we won’t just be limited to playing harps!
The Bible even says that God Himself will sing: “The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17). He also gives many instructions to sing, such as we see in Psalm 100:2. “Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” It would make sense then that the angels who also worship Him would come before Him with singing too.
Marriage and Children in Heaven
Some find it disconcerting when Jesus says there will be no new marriages in heaven (Matthew 22:30). We shouldn’t deny, cover up, or worry over this important concept; He ought to know since heaven is His hometown. First, we must be careful not to assume this passage means that God will hand divorce papers to the redeemed who have harmonious marriages as they first enter the pearly gates. Knowing who God is, that He is the very essence of love, whatever type of relationships we have now will be even more intimate and fulfilling than anything we have experienced here. I think we can trust in Him to plan something wonderful that will not disappoint us.
There also might not be any new births, but we know from the Bible that there will be children in heaven. Isaiah 11:6–9 describes heaven and mentions children several times. Malachi 4:2 says that we shall “grow up as calves of the stall.” This seems to indicate that the children of heaven will experience a physical maturing process going on as well as a spiritual one. Of course, we shouldn’t forget that no matter how “old” we get in heaven, we will be eternally young. We will never suffer the terrible effects of aging that we must endure on this corrupted earth!
Face to Face with God
Of course, the ultimate and culminating experience of heaven will be meeting our Creator God face to face. “Then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12). The book of Revelation comments: “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away’ ” (Revelation 21:3, 4). This is the God who created our world, and who created us in His image. He mourned when Satan tempted mankind to fall, and He’s also the one who rescued us through Jesus. His unsurpassed love moved Him to implement a perfect plan: to enter into our world, suffer the results of our sin as we do, and then to die for us. And now, as He makes preparations for us to go home, He longs to shine the way and fulfill all of our hopes.
God’s chosen people waited 4,000 years for the Savior to come the first time. That seemed like a terribly long time, and many lost hope.
But He did come. It’s a historical fact. And if He came the first time, according to His promise, we have no reason to doubt that He will come again just as He says He will. He isn’t like a conqueror of empires who promises glory only to become a tyrannical despot. And He isn’t like a politician of today, making countless promises He cannot keep.
He is true to His Word. He will do what He says. Always has. You can count on it.
Heaven Begins Now
Until then, rejoice knowing that we don’t have to wait to experience all the benefits we’ll have in heaven. “Peace on earth, good will toward men” is not just a “pie in the sky” that the angels sang about. Knowing what lies ahead, that our future is secure in God’s hands, we can have a powerful sense of joy and peace right here and now. Even though we won’t see peace among the nations on this earth, we can still have peace in our hearts amidst the chaos.
For those who make contact with God in a personal way today, heaven begins now. God becomes the Friend who never forsakes us; the Counselor with all the answers to our questions, and the Partner in all our endeavors. He cleanses us from all sin, and when we ask, He also imparts the power we need to transform our sin-filled lives. That’s the kind of heaven we can live in right now.
Blessed Reality
You see, a perfect world would be pure misery for anyone whose heart was not converted—who didn’t learn on earth to love what God loves. If you don’t turn away from the things that cause Him grief now, what makes you think you will want to please Him in heaven? The Judgment Day will not be a time when God confers a sentence on hapless victims. Ultimately, God always honors our choices; He’s not a tyrant. Never has been.
Bible Prophecy Truth > Home
Just before His death, Jesus comforted His disciples with these words of promise: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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. 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” (John 14:1–3).
The apostle Paul elaborated on Christ’s promise with this beautiful description: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). He goes on to say, “Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (v. 18).
And isn’t it true? Don’t these words bring real comfort to your heart—a thrill to your soul to think that Jesus is, at this very moment, preparing a beautiful home for you in a place where peace, love, harmony, and unity really exist? History shows that mankind cannot manufacture this kind of place. All of its best efforts have always ended in defeat and disappointment.

We’ll be able to trace our family tree right back to Noah and Adam. We will be able to personally visit with many of the people we’ve only read about before (Matthew 8:11). I look forward to talking with Moses and understanding more fully how he played a role in God’s great plan!
Furthermore, God and His angels will be there to answer many of the questions that have perplexed us here for 6,000 years; we’ll probably have questions we didn’t even know there were to ask! We will also have an endless list of fascinating things to study. Perhaps Shakespeare said it best when he wrote: “There are more things in heaven and earth ... than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
Animals in Heaven
One of the great benefits of this utopian ecosystem will be that animals will not prey upon one another for food. We are told that “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox” (Isaiah 11:6, 7). And further, “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 65:25).
Obviously, this means quite literally that there’ll be pets in heaven. In fact, every animal could potentially be a pet because none of them will be wild; they will not be afraid of us, nor us of them.
God does everything perfectly, and in heaven, everyone will find complete love and happiness—including companionship with God’s other creatures.
People often wonder whether their pets and furry friends from earth will be with them in heaven. Some say this is impossible because animals don’t have immortal souls, much less souls. However, this isn’t a hindrance at all. Humans don’t have immortal souls either; only God has unconditional immortality (1 Timothy 6:13–16). He will bless His people with immortality as a gift of His grace at the end of the age (2 Timothy 1:10).
So if the all-powerful God of the universe wants to surprise and delight us with the gift of resurrected kittens, puppies, horses, fish, rabbits, birds, snakes, turtles, or whatever other critters we love on this earth, He is certainly able to do so! By granting this, in no way would He violate His moral absolutes. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Celebrating With New Friends and Old Faces
Human exploration of the cosmos and space travel will know no limits. The Bible declares that Jesus created all the worlds seen and unseen (Hebrews 1:2). And the last time I checked, more than 200 billion suns have been photographed by California’s 200-inch telescope. So it would seem plausible that we will find other inhabited worlds, visiting with other created beings! Isaiah 45:18 also says of our world, “He created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited.” Those other solar systems must be “created not in vain.” They light a multitude of worlds.
Another scriptural clue is found in Job 1:6. “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.” In Luke 3:38, Adam is called “the son of God.” It’s quite possible that the “sons of God” in that heavenly council meeting are the first created beings from other planets. Adam should have represented earth, but Satan usurped his birthright. Fortunately, the first Adam’s, and subsequently all of humanity’s, rights were bought back by the second Adam, Jesus (1 Corinthians15). We cannot be positively sure that this is what the passage in Job refers to, but many in the Christian world agree this scenario is possible.
The Bible also assures us that the righteous loved ones we lost here on earth will be raised to join the living in God’s kingdom (Isaiah 26:19; 1 Corinthians 15:51–55; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18). Being reunited with the redeemed we loved here is undoubtedly one of the things we will enjoy the most. Imagine just how deeply moved you will be when a baby or child you lost will be brought to you and placed in your arms! And think about looking into the eyes of a parent, spouse, or close friend who passed away before you, and then embracing their vibrant, glorified bodies and knowing you will never need to part again!
Heavenly Music
Thrilling music is often mentioned in connection with heaven, so you can be sure that playing instruments and singing God’s praises will be a big part of our eternal experience. Our Creator is one of immense diversity. I’m sure we’ll enjoy an endless variety of delightful music; we won’t just be limited to playing harps!
The Bible even says that God Himself will sing: “The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17). He also gives many instructions to sing, such as we see in Psalm 100:2. “Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” It would make sense then that the angels who also worship Him would come before Him with singing too.
Marriage and Children in Heaven
Some find it disconcerting when Jesus says there will be no new marriages in heaven (Matthew 22:30). We shouldn’t deny, cover up, or worry over this important concept; He ought to know since heaven is His hometown. First, we must be careful not to assume this passage means that God will hand divorce papers to the redeemed who have harmonious marriages as they first enter the pearly gates. Knowing who God is, that He is the very essence of love, whatever type of relationships we have now will be even more intimate and fulfilling than anything we have experienced here. I think we can trust in Him to plan something wonderful that will not disappoint us.
There also might not be any new births, but we know from the Bible that there will be children in heaven. Isaiah 11:6–9 describes heaven and mentions children several times. Malachi 4:2 says that we shall “grow up as calves of the stall.” This seems to indicate that the children of heaven will experience a physical maturing process going on as well as a spiritual one. Of course, we shouldn’t forget that no matter how “old” we get in heaven, we will be eternally young. We will never suffer the terrible effects of aging that we must endure on this corrupted earth!
Face to Face with God
Of course, the ultimate and culminating experience of heaven will be meeting our Creator God face to face. “Then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12). The book of Revelation comments: “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away’ ” (Revelation 21:3, 4). This is the God who created our world, and who created us in His image. He mourned when Satan tempted mankind to fall, and He’s also the one who rescued us through Jesus. His unsurpassed love moved Him to implement a perfect plan: to enter into our world, suffer the results of our sin as we do, and then to die for us. And now, as He makes preparations for us to go home, He longs to shine the way and fulfill all of our hopes.
God’s chosen people waited 4,000 years for the Savior to come the first time. That seemed like a terribly long time, and many lost hope.
But He did come. It’s a historical fact. And if He came the first time, according to His promise, we have no reason to doubt that He will come again just as He says He will. He isn’t like a conqueror of empires who promises glory only to become a tyrannical despot. And He isn’t like a politician of today, making countless promises He cannot keep.
He is true to His Word. He will do what He says. Always has. You can count on it.
Heaven Begins Now
Until then, rejoice knowing that we don’t have to wait to experience all the benefits we’ll have in heaven. “Peace on earth, good will toward men” is not just a “pie in the sky” that the angels sang about. Knowing what lies ahead, that our future is secure in God’s hands, we can have a powerful sense of joy and peace right here and now. Even though we won’t see peace among the nations on this earth, we can still have peace in our hearts amidst the chaos.
For those who make contact with God in a personal way today, heaven begins now. God becomes the Friend who never forsakes us; the Counselor with all the answers to our questions, and the Partner in all our endeavors. He cleanses us from all sin, and when we ask, He also imparts the power we need to transform our sin-filled lives. That’s the kind of heaven we can live in right now.
Blessed Reality
You see, a perfect world would be pure misery for anyone whose heart was not converted—who didn’t learn on earth to love what God loves. If you don’t turn away from the things that cause Him grief now, what makes you think you will want to please Him in heaven? The Judgment Day will not be a time when God confers a sentence on hapless victims. Ultimately, God always honors our choices; He’s not a tyrant. Never has been.

Christians VS The NWO System
EXPOSING THE AMERICAN NEW WORLD
ORDER SYSTEM FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS
When we proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom, we expose this sham kingdom - i.e., "Babylon the Great" - for what it really is, and it's not that hard to do; after all, all one must do is shine the light of God's word on the shameful activity of this bogus kingdom. For example, how can a kingdom that is founded on the type of murder and slaughter that forms the basis of the American New World Order System be compared to the kind of kingdom for which Mary, the mother of Jesus, prayed; or to the kingdom described in the beatitudes? - a kingdom where Christ says:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
"Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matt. 5:3-12)
Pretty obvious, isn't it? Where, for example, is there any room for the "poor in spirit" (v.3 above) in the American New World Order System? There is no room for them; instead, they are trampled under foot, and robbed blind of what little they do possess (which is exactly what's occurring today in Iraq, in Thailand, in the Philippines, in the Congo, in Argentina, etc. - to say nothing of the poor in the United States).
Where in the American New World Order System do the meek (v. 5 above) inherit anything? - only the proud and the selfish can get anywhere in this system. And what about those who "hunger and thirst after righteousness?" (v. 6 above) - how far do you think people like that would get in the "corporate culture" of Boeing, of Exxon-Mobile, of Conaco-Phillips, of General Electric, of Union Carbide (Dow), etc.? There's no room for those who "hunger and thirst after righteousness" in these corporations; they would last about as long as a snow ball in hell would last. And, moreover, where is there any room for mercy (v. 7 above) in this system of things? - is that what John Dimitri Negroponte meted out to the people of Honduras and Guatemala? Is that what he is meting out today to the people of Iraq? to the citizens of Falujah?
All this to say nothing about where in a system like the American New World Order System - a system that is based on the concept of "perpetual war" - is there any room for peacemakers (v. 9 above)? There is none! - OR do you really think that's what Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Abram Skulsky, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Elliot Abrams, et. al. are after? - peace? If you do, you truly are an idiot!
BABYLON THE GREAT &
THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY
The question must then be asked, if these facts are indeed so plain - and they are - why is it that so many American Christians can't make this distinction? What is it about the American New World Order System that has led so many American Christians into believing that by supporting it they are helping to bring God's Kingdom to earth? - despite ALL the facts that cry out to the contrary. And, more than that, what is it that renders those American Christians who actually recognize the American New World Order System for what it really is incapable of taking any kind of meaningful action with regard to the situation they find themselves?
It's almost as if they are acting under the influence of a delirium; that they are in a state of intoxication and, as a result, are incapable of telling the difference between fact and fiction, or comprehending the danger they face. Logic and "common sense" no longer play any part in the way they consider their situation. Objectivity and rationalism have been eschewed in favor of a dependence on "intuition" and "appearance;" i.e., if it looks good, if it smells good, if it feels good, then it's good. In this kind of "ambiance," people don't "think," they "feel" - and they boast in that fact, as if "thinking" is a dangerous thing to do. "Thinking" is bad, "feeling" is good, despite the fact that these "feelings" - these mystic abstractions or whatever else you may want to call them (for example, "words of wisdom," "words of knowledge," "prophetic utterances," etc.) - might fly in the face of Scripture.
There is a strange miasma - a kind of poisonous effluvium - that attaches itself to people like this and renders them insensible to logic and intelligent thought, though they seem totally unaware of the irrationalism that grips them - kind of like a drunk who is making a fool of himself while all the time thinking he is the "life of the party." What do we say about such people? - we say that they are "UNDER THE INFLUENCE?" And that's what the Bible says about those who support the American New World Order System! - that they are "under the influence" of a -
"... STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a LIE ..." (2 Thess. 2:11)
That's what the Bible says about those American Christians who think that by supporting the American New World Order System, they are "doing God a service." (John 16:2)

Live In The Now
Whether or not this extraordinary intervention of God will happen in our time, no one can say for absolutely sure (however, there is definitely a general sense throughout the world that this present evil cannot continue unabated.) So live now, in the present moment, fulfilling with joy the will of God as He reveals it to you, even if it involves grand plans. It is not "success," but faithfulness He wants; not necessarily the completion of good projects, but the desire to fulfill His holy will.
So the story goes…
A brother approached Saint Francis who was busy working in the garden and asked, "What would you do if you knew for certain that Christ is going to return tomorrow"?
"I would keep hoeing the garden," he said.
The duty of the moment. The will of God. This is your food, waiting for you moment by moment upon the trajectory of your life.
Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," but added, "Give us this day our daily bread." Wait and watch for the Kingdom to come, but seek only daily bread: God’s trajectory, as best you can see it for today. Do it with great love and joy, thanking Him for the gift of breath, life, and freedom.
In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thess 5:18)
And do not worry about tomorrow, for there are three things which remain: faith, hope, and love. Yes, hope—a future full of hope—always remains…

New Ways, New Plans, New Things
My holy people; I hear your heart cries. I hear them and I answer them and I tell you that right now your heart cry has reached My ears in the very courts of heaven. Your heart cry has been heard and I am moving on your behalf.

Do not allow fantasies to dilute your faith, instead now is a time to be certain of what you have heard from My Great Heart. Make certain of each move you make, each thing you believe, for many deceivers are come, heaping up idols instead of building faith in Me.
New avenues of provision are coming to those who are positioned to serve Me. Look for alternative means, ways to receive provision through revenues previously never considered.

My provision is more than getting by, it is prospering under My favor and blessing.
