No Bad Thoughts Or Bad Memories In The Kingdom Of God

     When christians arrive at the kingdom of God, they will have no bad thoughts or bad memories of this world. Isaiah 65:17 says For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Revelation 21:4 says 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. There are no bad thoughts in the kingdom of God because the devil is not in the kingdom of God. Revelation 21:27 says And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie (the devil who is a liar is not in the kingdom of God): but they which are written in the Lambs' book of life.

     Christians in the kingdom of God will forget the bad memories of this troubled world like a woman who forgets her troubles after she gives birth to a baby. Once the baby is born the woman is so happy to see the child that she forgets all her sorrow in this world. John 16:21 says A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. Just a glimpse of the Lord Jesus in the kingdom of God will make all the bad memories of this life instantly disappear because the christians will receive everlasting joy for ever. Isaiah 35:10 says And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

     Notice the picture above of Lot fleeing from Sodom and Gomorrah with his two daughters where his wife turns into a pillar of salt. In the kingdom of God christians will no longer have to be vexed by the filthy conversation of sinners in this world. 2 Peter 2:7 says And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds. Like Lot, christians in the kingdom of God will be delivered from the filthy conversation of this wicked world.

     Bad memories in this world will never be remembered in the kingdom of God. There will be no bad thoughts of darkness or night in the kingdom of God. The Lord Jesus is the eternal light in the kingdom of God where darkness and night never exist. Christians don't have to sleep or get tired in the kingdom of God because light and day continually exist for ever. Revelation 22:5 says And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 

     Rejoice about the light that exists during the millennium when Jesus rules this earth during the kingdom of heaven. When the Lord Jesus is on this earth during the millennium, Isaiah 30:26 tells us that the sun will shine like the light of seven days and the moon will shine like the sun. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. Zechariah 14:7 says But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

     Rejoice about the light that exists with Jesus for ever in the kingdom of God after the millennium. Isaiah 60:19 says The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. The sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Revelation 21:23 says And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Christians will have perfect glorified bodies for ever living in Jesus' eternal light. Christians' lives in the kingdom of God will be infinitely better than the best time they experienced on this earth. Hallelujah.

     Notice the picture above of Elijah in a cave feeling like he is alone with no friends. 1 Kings 19:10 says And he (Elijah) said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of Hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. Rejoice because soon in the kingdom of God christians will have innumerable friends and angels that worship the Lord Jesus for ever in peace and joy. Elijah and christians will not be depressed and feel alone in the kingdom of God. Hebrews 12:22 says But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels. 

     If you feel alone, depressed, and rejected by this world, be encouraged because the Lord Jesus will always be your friend for ever. Jesus said at John 15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Jesus truly is a faithful friend that sticketh closer than any brother in this world. 

     Proverbs 18:24 says A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend (Jesus) that sticketh closer than a brother. Hebrews 13:5 says Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He (Jesus) hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

     Notice the picture above of Delilah removing Samson's hair, making Samson weak because Samson became a friend of the world. Many people say I wonder how much of the world I can enjoy while I still serve Jesus. Brother Bob says correction to this saying. We should say How much Jesus can I enjoy while I deny the world. A praying man will quit sinning but a sinning man will quit praying. Persecuted piety is better than prospering profaneness. It's easy to float downstream with the world's current. But decide today to live for Jesus and go upstream against the world's current. You know that you are growing with Jesus when you become less like the world. An old Japanese missionary used to say that the duty of every christian in any age is to discern the spirit of the age and then to go diametrically opposed to it. James 4:4 says Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

     Samson was so full of the world that he didn't realize that the Spirit of God had left him. It's sad when people choose the pleasures of this world instead of getting saved with Jesus and become so lost that they can't even pray for themselves. Compare the following two scriptures and make a choice to get saved with Jesus today. Hebrews 11:25 says Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Psalm 16:11 says Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence (Jesus) is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Choose pleasures forevermore with Jesus and get saved instead of sinful pleasures that only last for a season. 

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning,

Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel,

That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again

     Judges 16:19 speaks about Samson and Delilah and says And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.

 BEWARE OF EVIL WOMEN LIKE DELILAH

DON'T FALL ASLEEP ON THE KNEES OF A WHORE

When Samson (a very strong man) lost his strength 

Delilah was the first person to afflict him

She wined him, she dined him, she bind him,

she blind him, and then she grind him

He was so weak 

that a whore gave him a whooping

His old hen was the first one to give him a peck

     Don't be like Samson and allow a little sin to take you to a place where you can't pray or find the Lord Jesus. Samson didn't realize that the Lord Jesus had departed from him. Galatians 5:9 says a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Lets all daily deny even the smallest sin and live sanctified, holy, and consecrated lives to Jesus while we remember daily Jesus Christ crucified with our hearts. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

     Ecclesiastes 10:1 says Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.  Deny sin because one little fly or one little sin can ruin a person's reputation. But if we sin, the blood of Jesus can cleanse us from all sin, remove guilt, and wash a christian whiter than snow. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another; and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

      Another example in the bible of people that became friends of the world and lost strength was the people of Ephraim. Hosea 7:8 says Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. Ephraim, like Samson, didn't realize that the Lord had departed and lost strength because Ephraim tried to mix into the world. 1 John 2:15 says Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

     Instead of trying to be like the world and enjoy its pleasures for a season, everyone should be concerned about where they will spend eternity. People study four years for a career that lasts around fifty years but they won't take five minutes to decide where they will spend eternity. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For He (Jesus) saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Matthew 10:28 says And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him (Jesus) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 

     Notice the picture above of corn and oil. The corn and oil are praising Jesus. The bible tells us that nature, the earth, and the heavens continuously praise the Lord Jesus. Hosea 2:21 says And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel (what God has sown). Notice the blessed progression of praise to the Lord Jesus at Hosea 2:21. First Jezreel and all that God has sown praise Jesus. Then the corn, the wine, and the oil praise Jesus. Then the earth praises Jesus and finally all the heavens praise Jesus. 

     Psalm 148 lists how nature praises the Lord Jesus. When you read this list, join with nature and worship the King of kings and our Blessed Saviour who is the Lord Jesus. The following list of animals, plants, planets, and people praise the Lord Jesus. Heavens, heights, angels, hosts, sun, moon, stars of light, heavens of heavens, waters that be above the heavens, dragons, deeps, fire, hail, snow, vapours, stormy wind, mountains, hills, fruitful trees, cedars, beasts, all cattle, creeping things, flying fowl, kings, all people, princes, all judges, young men, maidens, old men, children, and let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

     Job said that we can learn from beasts, fowls, and fishes how to praise the Lord Jesus. Job 12:7 says But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? When the birds sing, the birds are praising Jesus. When the flowers blossom, the flowers are praising Jesus. And finally when the fish jump in the ocean, the fish are leaping for joy and praising Jesus.
