“The Promise of Spiritual Blessings”

 “The Promise of Spiritual Blessings”

 

All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be My Children.  Revelations 21:7

 

The Apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the Word of God and for his testimony about Jesus.  And while John was there God gave him visions of what the end of time and the NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH would be like.  And John wrote everything down for EVERYONE to READ and STUDY.  His words are FAITHFUL and TRUE.  They will come about someday SOON!  

 

The scripture I would like to talk about is in John’s account as God revealed it to him.  It takes place after the Tribulation, and the THOUSAND YEAR REIGN of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  The Apostle John was giving an account of the NEW JERUSALEM and the NEW EARTH, because the OLD heaven and the OLD earth had DISAPPEARED.  

 

And it is revealed to John what it will be like in this NEW JERUSALEM and the NEW EARTH.  The One on the THRONE tells John that God will make His Home among His People.  He will live with them.  He will wipe every tear from their eyes and there will be NO MORE DEATH or SORROW or CRYING or PAIN.  All these things are GONE FOREVER!!

 

And to those who are VICTORIOUS will INHERIT these SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS.  God will be their GOD and they will be His CHILDREN.  This indicates the INTIMACY that will exist between God, the FATHER and ALL the SAINTS (His Children).  This sounds like a GLORIOUS TIME, and I am SO LOOKING FORWARD to being there.  Are you?  

 

Spending time with the SAINTS of OLD, and the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and MORE than that, BEING in the PRESENCE of the ALMIGHTY GOD.  That is SHOUTING TIME for SURE!!  And the BLESSINGS of NO MORE SICKNESS, PAIN, DEATH, CRYING, and NO MORE SORROW.  I pray that you are LOOKING FORWARD to that time.  But if you are NOT LOOKING FORWARD to it, for whatever reason, maybe, you are NOT a CHILD of the LIVING GOD, verse eight, tells us that COWARDS, UNBELIEVERS, the CORRUPT, MURDERERS, the IMMORAL, those who practice WITCHCRAFT, IDOL WORSHIPERS, and ALL LIARS—their FATE is in the FIERY LAKE of BURNING SULFUR. 

 

This does NOT have to be YOUR FATE, if you will COME to JESUS with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART and ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and receive ALL the BLESSINGS of an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
