Who Are The Heroes Of Heaven?

Earthly Heroes Will Be Forgotten

And Are Not Heroes In Heaven

     The heroes on this earth are not the heroes of heaven. The world's heroes can be found at the baseball, basketball, and the hockey hall of fame, the walk of fame in Hollywood, California and Cleveland, Ohio's rock and roll hall of fame. The world admires the greatest hero of basketball Michael Jordan and the greatest hero of hockey Wayne Gretzy. But the bible says that earthly heroes will be forgotten when this earth burns up. Only the heroes of heaven will be remembered and honored.

     2 Peter 3:10 says But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. All the memories of earthly heroes will be burned up and forgotten. The Lord Jesus will create new heavens and a new earth where all the memories of this sinful world will be forgotten. 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. 

     How blessed to know that we will not remember any bad memories or bad thoughts from this world that won't even come into our mind. This is because the devil is not in the new heavens and new earth. The only thing saints will remember in the new heavens and new earth will be what they did for Jesus. It's like a woman after she has a baby; The woman forgets the suffering and pain of her labor during childbirth and rejoices to see her child. Soon all the saints will forget the sufferings on this fading earth when they see the Lord Jesus and rejoice forevermore  

     And the Word of God will remain forever. Jesus said at Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Therefore, keep reading and memorizing the bible every day and invest your time into the Word that lasts forever. If anyone tells you that you are too spiritual and talk too much about Jesus, tell them Correction: I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment. People are gonna talk about you anyway; Give them something good to talk about and leap for joy while you give them a Forrest Gump and run for Jesus.  

The Heroes Of Heaven 

Soul Winners, Servants, Saints

The Stedfast, The Sufferers

1) Soul Winners Are Heroes Forever In Heaven

     Soul winners will be heroes forever in heaven. This earth admires the stars of sports, Hollywood, and rock and roll that will soon be forgotten. But the bible says that soul winners that help save lost sinners are heroic stars forever honored, rewarded, and remembered in heaven. Daniel 12:3 says And they that be wise (you are wise if you win souls because Proverbs 11:30 says he that winneth souls is wise) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Let's be stars forever and become soul winners for Jesus that turn many to righteousness instead of the forgotten stars of this fading earth.  

     Get saved today and become a soul winner hero of heaven that will be honored and remembered forevermore. Like Brother Bob, tell people if Jesus asked you why should I let you into heaven; when they say because I'm a good person, go to church, a good Catholic, or I got baptized; Tell them the only way to be saved and go to heaven is to repent, stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. Tell them only faith in the Lord Jesus and the gospel with the gift of repentance can save anyone. There is no other substitute for salvation.

     Be like the apostle Paul, the angels of heaven, and Jesus by rejoicing every time a new saint repents and get saved. 1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? For ye are our glory and joy. Jesus said at Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels over one sinner that repenteth. 

     Take as many people as you can with you to heaven by being a soul winner. The people that you lead to Jesus will appreciate you during this life on earth. But boy they'll really appreciate you in heaven. These saved saints will tell the soul winners thank you for telling me about Jesus and saving my soul from the torments of hell and the lake of fire. When these saints realize that they are not in hell or a burning lake of fire, they'll thank and honor the soul winners forevermore in heaven. The soul winners will be the heroes in heaven honored forevermore. 

     And remember to support financially missionary soul winners that tell people all over this earth in remote countries about the Lord Jesus and save souls. If you support missionaries, when you get to heaven, many saints will tell you thanks for giving money to the missionaries who were able to tell us about the Lord Jesus so we could be saved and be in the peaceful heaven forever. Now this is what I call heroic stuff. 

2) Servants Are Heroes Forever In Heaven

     Next we see that servants are heroes forever in heaven. Jesus is the greatest servant of all time and forevermore. Because Jesus is the greatest servant, Jesus is the greatest hero of heaven, and the name of Jesus is the name above all names. Philippians 2:6 tell us Who (Jesus), being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

     Because Jesus died on the cross for lost sinners like you and me, now Jesus is called the greatest hero of heaven. Philippians 2:9 goes on to list Jesus' reward for being the greatest servant: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him (Jesus), and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (even the devil has to bow to Jesus). And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  

     Like Jesus, become a servant and a great honored hero of heaven. Jesus told us at Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Jesus also said at Luke 22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. In other words, the humble, quiet, unseen servants that helped orphans, widows, and the homeless on this earth will be the honored heroes of heaven forevermore.  

 

To Be A Good Servant

Quit Crying For Your Rights

Start Embracing Your Responsibilities

Be Last In This Life And Put Others First 

     To become a servant hero of heaven honored forevermore, be last in this life and put others first. When everyone sits down in the kingdom of God, the servants who were last on this earth will become first and the heroes of heaven. Jesus said at Luke 13:29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west; and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And behold, there are last (the servants for Jesus) which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.  

     A little obscure unknown old lady that constantly prayed, helped the poor, and won souls to Jesus all her life as a servant will become one of the most honored heroes of heaven. She might not have been known or remembered on this earth; But God will remember and reward her forever in heaven as a blessed hero of heaven. 

     Jesus is going to say to all the servants for Jesus on this earth that were last and forgotten by the world, send them up to the front to be honored as the greatest heroes in heaven. And Jesus is going to say to all those that loved the preeminence and limelight of this fading world like Diotrephes (a terrible church member) you go to the back of the line and stay there forever. 

     3 John 9 speaks about Diotrephes saying I write unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. Jesus is gonna tell Diotrephes you stay in the back of the line forever because you wanted the preeminence and refused to be a servant in my church. Let the unknown servants of the world come up front as honored heroes in heaven because they believed the promise of Luke 14:11: For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Jesus said at Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last (who are few) first. 

3) Saints Are Heroes Forever In Heaven

     Next we learn that saints are heroes forever in heaven. A saint is a sanctified person made holy by salvation. Hebrews 10:10 explains how to become a sanctified saint saying By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. In other words, when anyone gets saved, repents, stops sinning, confesses that Jesus is God, and believes the gospel that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again they become a sanctified saint. 

     The Catholics got it wrong when they said a saint is someone canonized (declaration that a dead person is a saint) for being a good person that performed two verifiable miracles. Good works don't save anyone and even the devil can perform miracles. The beast and the false prophet in the book of Revelation get power from the devil to cause fire to come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of man. Only repentance and faith in our Lord Jesus and the gospel can save anyone and make them a saint. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

     OK, the saints are gonna be heroes in heaven when Jesus tells His saints mount up on white horses to overtake, rule, and reign on this earth for 1000 years with Him. Revelation 19:8 describes the saints saying And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Then Revelation 19:14 tells us that the saints are the armies of heaven that will rule and reign on the earth saying And the armies which were in heaven followed Him (Jesus) upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

     And when Jesus returns to this earth on a white horse with his saints, Jesus isn't coming like a shepherd with a rod and a staff; Jesus is coming with a rod of iron to rule as the King of this earth for 1000 glorious years. Revelation 19:15 tells us And out of His (Jesus') mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

     And the bible says that the saints will be heroes reigning as kings and priests with Jesus on this earth for 1000 years and forevermore in the kingdom of God. Revelation 20:6 promises Blessed and holy is he (the saved saints) that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Change And Decay All Around I See

O Thou That Changest Not; Abide With Me

4) The Stedfast Are Heroes Forever In Heaven

      And the stedfast are heroes forever in heaven. These stedfast saints always pray, always read their bible, always witness and win souls to Jesus, and always attend church. They are not quitters and cowards like Calvinists who won't witness because they think God has already determined (predestined) who will be saved. Tell the Calvinist the bible says whosoever will let him take the water of life freely. And what about 1 Timothy 2:4 where Jesus said Who will have all men (not some predestinated selected men) to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 

     Instead of being a Calvinist that keeps and cleans aquariums by feeding select predestinated fish, be a soul winner fisher of men that offers salvation to every lost sinner on this earth. There is no such thing as a predestinated sinner; there are predestinated saints. When I go fishing, I fish for anything that bites and offer the bait Jesus to all fish (not just predestinated fish); and when I get the fish in the boat in the live well secure, then the fish are predestinated and saved (they are my property and I know where they are going). 

       Alright, back to my discussion about stedfast saints. Matthew 25:21 promises that the stedfast and faithful saints will be honored as heroes in heaven when Jesus tells them Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

     The people of this world might overlook and forget all your kind deeds for Jesus. But the Lord Jesus remembers everything you do for God. Hebrews 6:10 promises For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And Jesus told us at 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

     After reading these blessed promises, decide to be stedfast and faithful for Jesus in everything in this tiny, dinky, short, vapour of life. Don't be sporadic where you start missing church services and stop reading your bible. Be stedfast, keep going to church, keep reading and memorizing your bible, and keep blessing the poor widows and orphans. Jesus will reward you for your faithfulness and make you a ruler over many things. Don't be a quitter that says I used to pray and go to church. Decide to start serving Jesus again and always attend your church services.

     Just keep helping your pastor and church. Keep shoveling the snow off the sidewalks around your church; keep cutting the grass and weeding the flowers around your church; and keep serving at banquets for your church. Don't quit; Say I'm going down with the ship; If I have to I'll be the last one out who locks the doors and shuts the light out, but I'm going down with the church; I'm on the Lord's side.  

     Be stedfast and do a bunch of little things for the church for a long time that will equal a big thing. A stedfast Sunday school teacher who taught only 10 different students for twenty years reached thousands for Jesus, and Jesus will reward her faithfulness. DL Moody, one of the greatest preachers in the 1800's that saved thousands in England and America got saved when he heard an unknown little Sunday school teacher named Ed Kimball at his church.   

5) The Sufferers For Jesus Are Heroes Forever In Heaven

     Finally, the persecuted saints that suffer for our Lord Jesus are heroes forever in heaven. 2 Timothy 2:12 promises If we suffer (for Jesus through persecutions), we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us. If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful; He cannot deny Himself. And Romans 8:17 promises And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. In other words, if you are verbally assaulted and people call you brainwashed for serving Jesus, rejoice because you are a hero in heaven that will be honored forevermore. 

      Forty years ago, Brother Bob suffered for our Lord Jesus and was persecuted by his entire Jewish family. I went from having millions of dollars to living homeless in a 1978 Dodge Aspen in a Rea and Derrick pharmacy parking lot. My parents told me it's either Jesus or them. I chose Jesus and the Lord Jesus always took care of Brother Bob all these years. I know I will be rewarded in heaven for leaving all the money and fading wealth of this earth to write this book for Jesus and live totally for Jesus. 

     When I was in the parking lot homeless when I called my father for help; my dad hung up the phone and said let Jesus help you. I looked up to heaven and said Jesus you are all I have left: My family and everyone has left me. And I heard Jesus say good now I can help you. And the next day, my little brother found me at the parking lot and gave me a place to live in his apartment. And the next week I got a job that I still work on thirty years later. Truly the bible is true; I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. Remember, if you have Jesus in your life, you are a winner. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

     Check out the following heroes of heaven that suffered for Jesus on this earth. The christians executed and killed in North Korea for owning a bible will be honored as heroes in heaven. And the chinese christians forced by their government to work in sweat shops for fifteen hours a day because they were christians will be honored as heroes in heaven. And the thousands of christians killed by Isis and Muslims because they believed in our Lord Jesus will be honored as heroes in heaven. Romans 8:18 says For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 2 Corinthians 4:17 says For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.         

Three Lessons Learned From Plants

Christians Like Plants Daily Need

Light, Heat, And Water

    Today let's learn three lessons from plants to help make us better christians. Studying plants will bless us because christians are like plants according to Psalm 1:3. If we daily read and memorize the bible we shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season, his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

     Since christians are like plants, christians must have the same three things plants need to survive (light, heat, and water). My friend Rebekah Kohl did an experiment with four healthy plants. One plant was placed in a dark room with no light for one month. The second plant was placed in a refrigerator and deprived of heat for one month. The third plant was deprived of water for one month. The fourth plant was given light, heat, and watered for one month. The first three plants slowly died because each of them was deprived of one of the necessary ingredients for plant survival (light, heat, and water). Only the fourth plant lived.

     Christians like plants also daily need light, heat, and water to survive. Let's see how the bible explains how christians can daily receive light, heat, and water. There are many bible scriptures that say the Lord Jesus and the Word of God give christians light, heat, and water daily. Therefore daily look to Jesus crucified and the Word of God to be blessed like the plants. Get saved today, repent, stop sinning, confess Jesus to be your God, and believe that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again to receive everlasting life and peace forevermore. 

1) Christians Like Plants Need Light To Be Blessed

The Three Sources Of Light For Christians Are

The Lord Jesus, The Word Of God, 

And Your Fellow Believers In Jesus At Your Local Church

     Christians like plants daily need light to be blessed and survive. Plants are placed in clear greenhouses so they can receive light to survive. Like plants, christians need to receive light from three sources: First, christians receive light from the Lord Jesus according to John 8:12 where Jesus said I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jesus also said at John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

      Every day allow the light of Jesus to bless you with peace and strength by looking to Jesus crucified. Each day say I am crucified with Christ and covered by the blood of Jesus. Tell the devil daily that the blood of Jesus (the same yesterday, today, and forever) has overcome and defeated you, evil must pass over me, and the blood of Jesus has cleansed me of all my sins. Just keep looking at Jesus crucified every day for light to overcome any darkness in this world. 

     Second, christians receive light from the Word of God according to Psalm 119:105 that says Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Constantly meditate, read, and memorize the bible to receive great peace and strength. Psalm 119:165 promises Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 1 promises that if you memorize and read the bible daily whatever you do will prosper (in other words if you constantly memorize the bible, God will fix every problem in your life and deliver you from all your troubles). 

     Finally, christians receive light from fellow believers in Jesus at their local church according to Philippians 2:15 that says That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Attend your local church each week to receive light from your fellow believers that shine the light of Jesus to us through preaching, teaching, and counseling. All christians should shine their lights everywhere to bless people because according to Matthew 5:15 Jesus said Ye are the light of the world; A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

2) Christians Like Plants Need Heat To Be Blessed

     Christians like plants need heat daily to survive. The bible says christians receive heat from the fire of the Word of God according to Jeremiah 23:29 that says Is not my Word like as a fire? saith the Lord and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces. Also Jeremiah said at Jeremiah 20:9 I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name. But His Word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

     Let the Word of God be your heat source daily so you can be blessed and survive like plants. According to Psalm 119:11 stay warm and proclaim Thy Word (Lord Jesus) have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee. This is why King David said at Psalm 39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing (fervently memorizing God's Word) the fire burned; then spake I with my tongue.

     And don't sin because sin will put out the fire of God. Sin makes people wax cold according to Matthew 24:12 that says And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Stay on fire for God and deny sin daily. Keep leaping for joy and rejoicing when you are persecuted for Jesus. Shout for joy in the nearest Walmart bathroom when people separate from you and want nothing of you because of Jesus. Determine to stay on fire for Jesus and let nothing wax your life cold.

     Christians are like plants and need heat to survive. If I took a plant and deprived it of heat by placing it in a refrigerator all month, the plant would die. It would still die if I took it out of the refrigerator each day and watered it and gave it a little light but put the plant back every night into the refrigerator with no heat.

     Like plants, christians need to daily remain by their heat source (the Word of God). If someone stops reading their bible for weeks and months they will wax cold, wither away, and perish. It's just the natural tendency of anything to cool down; If I turn off my space heater during a cold day, soon my house will cool down. Therefore, stay warm daily and keep reading and memorizing your bible, while you keep attending your local church to hear God's Word.

     Don't get cold or lukewarm; Instead of being cold as ice, stay hot and on fire for Jesus. Keep witnessing and winning souls to our Lord Jesus. Keep sharing your faith and testimony with everyone. Keep praying for everyone with a mustard seed of faith and rejoice when all your prayers are answered. Don't just talk to people in your church only on Sunday. Show kindness to everyone in your church all week. 

     Stay hot and on fire for Jesus by sending uplifting postcards and notes of kindness to all your brothers and sisters in Jesus all week long. Make encouraging phone calls to your brothers and sisters in the Lord always. Tell everyone I'm praying for you and asking Jesus to bless you; Tell them is there anything I can do to bless you. Can I take you to Cracker Barrel and bless you with a meal? When we fellowship and rejoice with our brothers and sisters in Jesus, we will stay on fire for God with strength, peace, and joy. We are the branches of God and if we rub our branches together during fellowship we'll get a Holy Ghost fire and keep warm. 

     Have compassion and be concerned about people, making a difference. Jude 22 tells us And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. And I pray in Jesus name everyone will obey 1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent (defined as red hot) charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. In other words, contribute to the heat of your local church and to everyone around you, so people can grow and be blessed like plants. Decide to obey 1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls to obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently (defined as staying red hot on fire for our Lord Jesus). 

3) Christians Like Plants Need Water To Be Blessed

     Christians like plants daily need water to be blessed and survive. Notice how plants use water and light to create food for survival by photosynthesis. First plants use chlorophyll (a green pigment) to absorb sunlight to convert water from their roots and carbon dioxide from the air into sugar (food for growth) and oxygen. Wow, notice that God made plants to convert light into oxygen so people can breath and survive. Thank you Lord Jesus for your plants that allow us to breath oxygen and live on this earth.

     Like plants, christians need to daily receive their water source (the Word Of God) stated at Ephesians 5:26 That He (Jesus) might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word. And if we daily read and memorize the bible, like plants we will receive food and strength to live.  Notice that the bible also says that the Word of God is our necessary food to survive. Job 23:12 says Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemeed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. And Jeremiah 15:16 tells us Thy words were found and I did eat them; and thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart; for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

     And finally note that another source of water for survival is our Lord Jesus. Just look daily to Jesus crucified saying I am crucified with Christ and covered by the blood of Jesus to overcome the devil and survive like the plants. Jesus told us that He was our water source at John 4:13 saying Whosoever drinketh of this water (from Jacob's well) shall thirst again; But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Plants need water every day to survive. Christians also need to look every day to Jesus crucified to survive. Thank you Lord Jesus for the well of water you've made available to all people that springs up into everlasting life. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with peace and great joy.
