All About Heaven

 

It's Wrong To Say You're So Heavenly Minded

That You're No Earthly Good

We Should Say If You're So Heavenly Minded

You'll Be Earthly Good

Unfortunately Most People Are So Worldly Minded

That They Are No Heavenly Good

     This message is all about heaven. Whenever you hear anyone say you're so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good, reply I'm going to be more heavenly minded so I can be earthly good. I don't want to be so worldly minded where I am no heavenly good. A preacher once told Brother Bob that he talks too much about Jesus. I replied Correction I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment while I leaped for joy at the nearest Walmart restroom. The bible tells us to be heavenly minded (not worldly minded) to become better people for our Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:2 says Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ.

     The bible tells us that saints are earnestly desiring to be in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:2 says For in this (body) we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. In fact all creation is earnestly desiring to enter heaven. Romans 8:22 says For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption of our body. Be like Paul and desire heavenly joy who said at Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.

By Faith Rejoice About The Third Heaven That Can Not Be Seen

     The bible tells us that there are three heavens pictured above. The first heaven we can see by day where the birds fly in the sky. The second heaven we can see by night with the stars and planets in the milky way galaxy. But you need faith to see the third heaven where all the saved saints will live eternally in peace with Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 promises us by faith that after salvation we are sitting together with the saints in heavenly places. The blessed scripture says And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Right now choose to get saved and escape the troubles of this world with the promise of eternal peace in heaven. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess everywhere that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     The picture above of a little boy flying a kite explains how to have faith that a third heaven exists. One day a little boy was flying a kite that disappeared above the clouds. His friend said I don't see a kite. How do you know that the kite is still up there? The little boy replied "Once in a while I feel a little tug and I know it's up there". Like this little boy, even though you can't see the third heaven, once in a while you'll feel a little tug by faith and know it's up there somewhere.

And sing the lyrics below for In The Sweet By And By

To help you see the third heaven by faith

Remember There's a land that is fairer than day

And by faith we can see it afar

There's a land that is fairer than day; And by faith we can see it afar

For the Father waits over the way; To prepare us a dwelling place there

In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

We shall sing on that beautiful shore; The melodious songs of the blest

And our spirits shall sorrow no more; Not a sigh for the blessing of rest

To our bountiful Father above; We will offer our tribute of praise

For the glorious gift of His love; And the blessings that hallow our days. 

Instead of shouting and rejoicing when Johnny Olson 

Says Come On Down On The Price Is Right

Shout And Rejoice Always Because Soon 

Jesus is Going To Tell All Saved Saints Come Up Hither

     People on the game show the Price Is Right shout and go crazy when Johnny Olson says Come On Down. But saints should always shout and rejoice because soon Jesus is going to call all saints by name saying Come Up Hither. I'm not going down friend; I'm shouting, rejoicing, and leaping for joy because I'm going up soon to be with Jesus in peace forever. The outlooks bad, the downlooks worse, but the uplook is looking pretty good. And if you have the right outlook and witness and win souls to Jesus, you'll have the right uplook and rejoice about getting caught up to be with Jesus in peace forever. Remember Luke 21:28 says And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. I'm not looking for the undertaker; I'm looking for the uppertaker. I'm not looking for a hole in the ground; I'm looking for a hole in the sky. And I'm not looking for a sign; I'm listening for a sound. 

     Some people get offended when saints shout for Jesus. These people say at our church we don't shout because we believe in being dignified. Tell these people correction you believe in being petrified. But these same people who get offended when you shout for Jesus will go to a ballgame and scream for hours. They'll act like commanche indians and scream at the ballpark but come to church and sit quietly like wooden indians. I tell people who shout praises to Jesus to shout louder. The bible tells us to shout and make a loud noise of praise for Jesus. Psalm 98:4 says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. In fact the bible says that we should for ever shout for joy about Jesus. Psalm 5:11 says But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, will bless the righteous, with favour will thou compass him as with a shield. 

Saints Should Rejoice About Heaven

Because After Salvation Saints Are Citizens Of Heaven

We Are Just Strangers And Pilgrims On This Earth

Longing To Be In Heaven With Our Fellowcitizen Saints

     Saints should rejoice and talk about heaven. This world is not our home; We're just strangers and pilgrims passing through looking for our better heavenly home. Hebrews 11:13 tells us that saints in the past all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off and were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  But rejoice and say Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints and of the household of God.

Rejoice And Sing The Words Below For This World Is Not My Home

This world is not my home; I'm just a passing through

My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue

The angels beckon me from heavens open door

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you

If heavens not my home then Lord what will I do

They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know

My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go

I know He'll take me through though I am weak and poor

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

I have a loving mother just up in Gloryland

And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand

The angels beckon me from heavens open door

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally

The saints on every hand are shouting victory

Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Rejoice About The Praise Heard In Heaven Recorded At Revelation 19:1-6

     Rejoice about the praise heard in heaven recorded at Revelation 19:1-6. Revelation 1:3 promises a blessing to all that read, say, or hear the praise recorded at Revelation 19:1-6. Soon all the saints of heaven will join in this glorious praise to Jesus in heaven. The glorious praise reads And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven saying Alleluia, salvation, and glory, and honour, and power unto the Lord our God. For true and righteous are His judgments for He hath judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne saying Amen Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne saying Praise our God all ye his servants and ye that fear Him both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and as the voice of many waters and as the voice of mighty thunderings saying Alleluia, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 

     When we get to heaven how glorious it will be to hear millions upon millions of saints in the heavenly choir loudly praising our Lord Jesus with innumerable angels. Hebrews 12:22 describes heaven saying 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. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn which are written in heaven and to God the judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect. 

     And according to John 14:2 we should be rejoicing about the promised mansions according to the KJV bible (not dinky rooms stated by the false translated bibles) that we will receive in heaven. Jesus told us at John 14:2 In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you; I go to prepare a place for you. Friend if you are saved, you should rejoice about your mansion that you will receive soon on Glory Boulevard in heaven. We're going to move from poor houses on this earth to mansions in the sky that are going to be greater and more extravagant than the Taj Mahal or the White House. 

     Remember after anyone leaves this earth where our lives are just a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away (James 4:14), they'll spend eternity forever in either heaven or hell. Whatever anyone does with Jesus on this earth determines where they will spend eternity. Trust Jesus and go to heaven. Deny Jesus and go to hell. There is no middle ground purgatory where prayers and money can get someone out of purgatory to enter heaven. Purgatory is a man made place created for self righteous people trying to pay for their own sins. Remember faith only in the blood of Jesus (the price paid by Jesus at the cross for our sins) can redeem us and free us from our sins. Therefore it's either heaven or hell, turn or burn, up or down, in or out. You make the choice and I pray in Jesus name that you choose heaven with Jesus and eternal life with peace. 

The Most Important Reason Saved Saints Want To Go To Heaven Is

To See Jesus

     The most important reason saved saints want to go to heaven is to see Jesus. Soon all the saints will rejoice like John and say John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Truly the best thing about heaven is seeing Jesus. Jesus who is the Way, Truth, Life, and Light will be our Tree of Life and Light that is seven times brighter than the sun with no dark night forever. 

     Fanny Crosby wrote a hymn telling us that Jesus should be first of all and the most important person to see in heaven. Fanny Crosby was a great woman of God who was blind and wrote 9000 blessed hymns. Fanny who lived 95 years from 1820-1915 would always help Jerry McCauley at a mission in New York City for homeless people and daily sung her hymns to everyone at the mission. I'm looking forward to meeting Peter, Paul, Moses, Matthew, Hosea, Obadiah, Bartholemew, Daniel, Solomon, David, DL Moody, George Whitfield, George Muller, and John Wesley in heaven. But as Fanny's song proclaims, Jesus is the best person I want to meet in heaven.

After Fanny Crosby Was Asked How She Would Recognize Jesus In Heaven

Fanny Wrote The Words Below For The Blessed Hymn My Savior First Of All

And Rejoice While You Sing The Blessed Words Below

When my life work is ended and I cross the swelling tide

When the bright and glorious morning I shall see

I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side

And His smile will be the first to welcome me

I shall know Him, I shall know Him

And redeemed by His side I shall stand

I shall know Him, I shall know Him

By the print of the nails in His hand

Oh the soul thrilling rapture when I see His blessed face

And the luster of His kindly beaming eye

How my heart will praise Him for the mercy love and grace

That prepared for me a mansion in the sky

Oh the dear ones in glory how they beckon me to come

And our parting at the river I recall

To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home

But I long to meet my Savior first of all

Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white

He will lead me where no tears will ever fall

In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight

But I long to meet my Savior first of all
