This is What Heaven is Truly Like - Heaven Part 2

1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,240
Got it just good.
He's so, so good.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,280
Amen.
You know, hopefully this week

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,040
you guys had a chance to reflect
on heaven a little bit.

4
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,160
How many guys are here last
week, by the way?

5
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,320
I don't know about you, but my
week, man, it was it it went

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,320
like real raw, real quick.
A lot of conversations with

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,480
people that are hurting.
You know, you start the year out

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,760
and it's like got these amazing
goals, but goals are always

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,080
built on pain.
You talk about visions always

10
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,840
built on on loss, right.
As you look into the year, I

11
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,960
mean, there's so many people
I've talked to.

12
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,840
I kind of tend conversation I
had this week where it was a

13
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,400
difficult conversation.
So we walked through a difficult

14
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,680
season.
I went from funerals to family

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,360
to finance to all these things.
As a pastor, I just want to tell

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,440
you, I'm encouraged that we have
a church where people can

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,680
connect with each other and give
them the hope of the gospel and

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,800
the hope of eternity.
Amen.

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,280
It's not just coming on Sunday.
It's you guys doing life

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,320
together.
I get the honor and privilege of

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760
being in the position I'm in.
I get a lot of conversations,

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,400
but you guys get those
conversations as well.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,360
I would encourage you don't
assume just because somebody

24
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,120
sitting next to you on Sunday
that that they're doing good.

25
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,040
Amen.
Because we bring in, we're

26
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,160
broken.
We're all broken, right?

27
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,880
And I would encourage you guys,
We have an amazing church.

28
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,320
It's more than a show up on
Sunday.

29
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,880
It's a family.
It's us encouraging each other

30
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,480
towards Christ and holding each
other up And it's there's it's

31
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,080
not, Oh, there's this crazy
thing by the scenes, but just

32
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,160
every just like a grind of a
week.

33
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,360
You know, everyone of those
weeks was like I had I was going

34
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,240
to go right, but I went left 15
times, you know, 3 less, 3 less

35
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,720
make a right, by the way, just
let you know.

36
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,560
So, but man, I just wanted to
just start out today.

37
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,160
Just thank you, Jesus, God,
thank you, Jesus.

38
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800
We sang these songs all focused
on eternity.

39
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,680
I'll focus on life and you God,
and we just give you praise and

40
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,360
glory.
God, you're in charge and I pray

41
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,600
today, God, just a special
blessing.

42
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,400
Those that came in maybe this
for the first time and looked

43
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,120
for answers.
Maybe they've been here then

44
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,120
know you, God, I pray you just
rolled close to them.

45
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Remind them about heaven.
Remind them of who you are.

46
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,400
God, your spirit would just fall
in this place.

47
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,200
God comfort us, direct us,
empower us, embolden us as we

48
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,720
just get a taste of heaven this
morning.

49
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,880
We praise in Jesus name, Amen.
Couple things to celebrate one

50
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440
last week was really cool.
You guys remember it was it was

51
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Christmas last week here still
guys remember like the thousands

52
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,759
things of Christmas.
You know, it's a trailer loop.

53
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,240
We had a team that stayed after
a part of a dream team.

54
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,080
Some people made-up.
I don't know how many were

55
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,440
there, maybe 3540 or so.
They literally tore down the

56
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,920
Christmas stuff in one hour.
That's impressive.

57
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,440
Amen.
One hour.

58
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:25,520
I was like, oh Lord, like, OK,
we're moving.

59
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,560
You know, we got it done.
It wasn't just thrown away.

60
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,120
It was like packed well and
everything.

61
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,480
Great team.
We had some Casey's pizza.

62
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,840
Amen had too many slices.
I don't know, you know, twos

63
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,600
enough 5 maybe gluttonous, but
it happened six.

64
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,080
OK, Mike.
And it was crazy is I mean, that

65
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,960
shouldn't even talk because it's
not about speed, but it's just

66
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,320
so amazed.
We tore down the Sunday morning

67
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,280
like the normal stuff in 45
minutes.

68
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,640
This is like everything you see
in 45 minutes.

69
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,240
So we left here.
We don't leave 1:30.

70
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,360
We left at 2:30.
Come on, somebody that's

71
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,960
amazing, that's amazing.
Like unless you just don't,

72
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,240
maybe you're blind, you don't
know what's going on, but like,

73
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,960
there's so much stuff.
So anyway, I was just really

74
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,840
impressed.
So give it up for our team that

75
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,280
did that last week because that
was impressive, man very

76
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
impressive.
It was done well.

77
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,240
It wasn't like just throw it in
the trailer.

78
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Anyway, last week two people
came to Christ, two people got

79
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,400
Jesus, two people got heaven.
Amen.

80
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,160
You know, we're all made for a
person and a place.

81
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,520
We're made for Jesus and we're
made for heaven.

82
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,280
And what's really cool about
Jesus in heaven, You cannot have

83
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160
heaven without Jesus, and you
not have Jesus without heaven.

84
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:31,280
They code together.
It's a package deal.

85
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,000
Amen.
If we're so much like worried

86
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520
about eternity where it looks
like it just look at Jesus and

87
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,360
today some of you guys, I
believe are going to put your

88
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,360
faith in Jesus first time and
some of you guys are going to

89
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,800
see heaven differently in in in
this season.

90
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960
And my prayer is that you'd be
so moved by heaven during this

91
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,360
series.
It will change how you live on

92
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,200
earth.
Like we set these goals every

93
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,760
year 2026 and I'm thinking like,
what about 2,000,026, two

94
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,720
trillion 26 like what it would
it really focus on this earth?

95
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,040
Like we can set the financial
goals which we should have and

96
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,720
all these different things.
But what's it really, really

97
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,800
look like to live for Christ
now?

98
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Like to actually believe to live
is Christ and to die is gain.

99
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,720
And so I'm just going to like do
more like teaching style a day,

100
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,720
but I'm going to lay out heaven
and I believe there are going to

101
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,000
be things.
I just know there's things

102
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,960
you're going to go, Oh my, I've
never heard that.

103
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,720
I've never seen that.
And I've been moved by heaven in

104
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,279
so many ways.
And this is the way Paul was and

105
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,240
this is his experience.
But in Second Corinthians 12/1

106
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,720
through 4:00, he, he actually
saw heaven.

107
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,600
So it says this I being Paul
must go on boasting.

108
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,720
So he's boasting about God,
Amen.

109
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,160
It it's OK to say Jesus changed
my life, All glory to God, Amen.

110
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,000
He's not boasting his power,
He's a boasting God's power.

111
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,640
He says although there's nothing
to be gained, I go on to visions

112
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,720
and revelations from Lord.
He's going to talk about what he

113
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400
knows about God just as if we
were talking about Scripture or

114
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,640
experience with God.
He says, I know a man in Christ.

115
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,040
This is really interesting
because he's actually talking

116
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,720
about himself.
He's referring to himself in

117
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,280
third person.
Why?

118
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Because he's showing humility.
He's like, I know this guy, but

119
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,400
it's really just me who 14 years
ago was caught up into the what,

120
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,600
the 3rd heaven?
Now this may seem a little

121
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,320
confusing at first because
you're like oh wow.

122
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,000
So like we go to 1st heaven and
2nd.

123
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,400
Like we get promoted through
these things.

124
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000
So in the Jewish culture, they
believe there was like 3 things

125
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,480
they said.
There's sky, there's universe,

126
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,080
and then there's the throne of
God.

127
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,440
And so in the Jewish culture,
he's just saying like, I'm not

128
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,480
talking about like I'm in the
clouds or I'm in the universe.

129
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Like I actually went to the
throne of God.

130
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,280
So when you die, you don't go to
like 1st heaven and then you,

131
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
you know, spend some time like
purgatory or something and go to

132
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,480
the 2nd heaven and get promoted.
That's not what he's saying at

133
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,040
all.
Amen.

134
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,080
You got to understand that this
is just in the presence of God

135
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,560
in the throne of God.
He's relating to the Jewish

136
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,560
culture.
He says whether it was in the

137
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,320
body or out of the body, I don't
really know.

138
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,200
He was so infatuated and so
focused on things that happened.

139
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,520
He didn't know if he had his
body or not.

140
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,760
He said God knows and I know
that this man, he says again,

141
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,160
whether in the body or part of
the body, I do not know, but God

142
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,600
knows was what caught up to
where paradise Now in the

143
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Scripture, this paradise is
actually used another word for

144
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,840
heaven and we're going to talk
about the later on today.

145
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,840
But Jesus used the same word at
the cross, but he's talking

146
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,640
about actually going to heaven.
And he heard what inexpressible

147
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,880
things, things that no one is
permitted to tell.

148
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,480
It's amazing to think that Paul
saw heaven, went to heaven, and

149
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320
it was too good to put into
words.

150
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,360
Amen.
I mean, and imagine, like, all

151
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,480
the things I've seen, you know,
you see a picture like, I've

152
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,640
been to, like, Machu Picchu.
How many guys have been to Machu

153
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Picchu?
OK, Like, I'm the only one.

154
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Cool.
Great, so I'm going to tell you

155
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,000
about Macho Picchu.
I'm going to be like, oh, it's

156
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,400
so amazing this moment, all
this, oh, here's my pictures,

157
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,160
all blah, blah.
But man, pictures can't really

158
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,640
tell the story.
Like just how to be there to see

159
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,520
it.
And there's always, we always

160
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,000
say the same thing, like all the
pictures, amazing.

161
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,920
But all you had to see just had
this for yourself.

162
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,240
And this is like heaven.
Like I can't even put into words

163
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,360
how great heaven is.
It's amazing that somebody's

164
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,600
been to heaven and comes back
and says this is what heaven's

165
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,000
like.
I'm so glad I didn't say the

166
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,760
opposite.
Come on, somebody.

167
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,080
It was really boring.
You don't want to do it.

168
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,640
I don't know what will happen
there.

169
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,760
And and this is how most people
see heaven, right?

170
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Like, you slip into oblivion,
get your wings, you're recreated

171
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,280
and it and you're reincarnated
out about you.

172
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,440
But that sounds freaky, weird
and scary.

173
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,720
Amen.
Like if I just cease to exist

174
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560
for oblivion, it isn't really
possible to imagine yourself

175
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,280
without yourself is really
imagine turning without

176
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,960
yourself.
And this people have all these

177
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,240
visions of heaven and all these
things, but here's the word of

178
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,680
God saying no, there's
inexpressible things that's too

179
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,240
good to put into words.
It's no wonder Paul was so bold.

180
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Amen.
I mean, you look at his story

181
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,440
like, oh, how did I be like
Paul?

182
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,320
It's because Paul had a perfect
picture of heaven.

183
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,080
And so he's like, oh, put me in
prison.

184
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Hey, I'll preach the gospel
there.

185
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,080
Hey, no worries.
Thread me with heaven.

186
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,800
It's OK if I die.
I know what's going on.

187
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,280
He sees it all and he's so
excited and passionate about

188
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,440
things of God.
Now we have some strange views

189
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,080
of heaven on earth.
Have you guys seen those reels

190
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,720
lately where somebody passed
away?

191
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,560
They're they're like a famous
person or you might have known

192
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,000
him in like TV shows or
something.

193
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,160
And it has it has them on the
screen like I once was, blah,

194
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,200
blah, age.
And then they show them today

195
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,320
and they got their wings and
they come on the screen and they

196
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,920
raise their right hand, which
have yet to figure out why they

197
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,040
like wave at us.
You guys see no time.

198
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,600
You see those, right?
I mean, you see there's a ton of

199
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,840
them going around.
And of course I want you to

200
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,400
looked at one now.
I see like a million of these

201
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,800
things.
I mean, how it goes.

202
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,680
The algorithm caught me, right.
But we do not get our wings in

203
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,240
heaven.
We do not become angels in

204
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,480
heaven.
Is that weird?

205
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Would that be weird to you?
Like, I don't know.

206
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,440
I'm just recreating to an Angel.
Does that that freak you out at

207
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,240
all?
That freaks me out a little bit.

208
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,160
Like I don't want to be like,
what happened to me?

209
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,440
Well, where am I?
Like we, we had these visions

210
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,440
like we're, we were so like, I
know the word ignorant of

211
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,120
heaven, but Paul does not want
this speaker in heaven.

212
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,320
He actually tells us
specifically, he wants us to

213
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,040
know about heaven.
There's a, you guys know Nicolas

214
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,200
Cage.
He was, he was on a, a late

215
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200
night talk show with Stephen
Corbett And they So what

216
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:03,840
happens?
You die.

217
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920
And Nicholas like, oh, I got
this energy, like electricity

218
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,000
and it flows through our body
and then you die and it kind of

219
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,800
stops.
And then maybe like there's

220
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,800
something down the road like
sparks us, But whether we're

221
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,280
conscious or no or not, like
nobody can know.

222
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,120
And a lot of people believe like
we're just like, like sleeping

223
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,920
souls, like their soul rest.
There's, there's, there's we

224
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,400
cease to exist for some amount
of time.

225
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,600
And I'm like, I'm doing like,
well, no, we do know because the

226
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Bible says Amen.
The Bible says we don't just

227
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,200
like cease to exist.
And then something happens down

228
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,120
the road.
But this is what the world says

229
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,720
about heaven.
But this isn't, this isn't the

230
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,840
truth of heaven.
So I'm going to dive in.

231
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,280
It's going to be a lot more
teaching.

232
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,800
If you're taking notes, I mean,
tongue in cheek on this comment,

233
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,880
but literally, if you take notes
today, you actually may get more

234
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,560
authority and a closer seat in
heaven.

235
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,920
I'm just saying because you may
be so moved by the scripture and

236
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,920
you may be so moved by the
heavens, like it actually may

237
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,720
change your life in the next 20
or 10 or 50 years of which you

238
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,480
have on this on earth only.
And that will give you extra

239
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,520
rewards and extra authority and
extra place in heaven.

240
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,080
So literally, when you're
talking about taking notes

241
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,160
today, I'm going to give you a
lot of verses, all the concepts.

242
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,160
I promise you, every single one
of you will be like, huh, I've

243
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,600
never thought about that or seen
that.

244
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,120
It's going to happen two or
three times a day.

245
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,960
So I really do encourage you get
your phone out and take some

246
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,840
notes.
Amen, Amen.

247
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,120
All right, first lesson is 4 you
guys ready?

248
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,120
I think Barry said buckle and
I'm like, I guess we're doing

249
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,520
it.
We're doing it.

250
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,480
Oh by the way, was that worship
on fire day?

251
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,080
Come on somebody that was good.
Amen.

252
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,840
That was good dude.
We're the songs you can do.

253
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,160
We'll add them in.
It'll be good.

254
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,120
There's so many lines.
Dude.

255
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,160
First let's first lesson is
4/13.

256
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,640
It says brothers and sisters
talking about Christians.

257
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,800
We do not want you to be what
uninformed.

258
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,800
If you go to King James, man, we
don't be ignorant about this

259
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,840
that those who sleep in death.
So it's talking about the sleep

260
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,000
is like a a euphemism.
He's like he's every time you

261
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,880
see sleep in the Bible, it's
like, oh, they they're dead.

262
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,600
So sleep in death.
So you do not grieve like the

263
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,640
rest of mankind who have what?
So it's like, Hey, he's like, I

264
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,040
don't want you to be ignorant of
what happens when you die.

265
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,960
That's a good prayer.
Amen.

266
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,560
That's a good teaching.
Like what really happens when

267
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,120
you die?
Like I want you to really know.

268
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,120
I want you to really understand
what happens when you die.

269
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,200
For most people, we like, we
don't know and we're scared and

270
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,560
we're freaking out and we're
worried.

271
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,160
And then like this earth is
everything.

272
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,720
So like, hold on to it so tight.
But Paul says something for

273
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,040
those in crisis.
For we believe that Jesus died

274
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,480
and rose again.
So we believe in the

275
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,280
resurrection of Christ from the
dead.

276
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280
So we believe that God will
bring with Jesus those who have

277
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,840
fallen asleep, those who are
dead in him, dead in Christ.

278
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,960
It's pretty good news, Amen,
That if Jesus rose from the

279
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120
dead, that he's going to take us
who have died and bring him back

280
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,560
with him.
That feels good to me, Amen.

281
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,200
It's not, it's not arbitrary.
It's not like what's really

282
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,320
going to happen though.
He's going to bring us back with

283
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,120
him.
He wants us to know what

284
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,120
happens.
Verse 15, he says according to

285
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,800
the Lord's word, we tell you
that we who are still alive.

286
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,440
So that's us right now at this
exact moment.

287
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Come on, somebody, maybe
something happens who are left

288
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,800
until the coming of the Lord
will certainly not precede those

289
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,960
who've fallen asleep.
You said you come to funerals

290
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,040
and you get the casket up front
or the urn and we're we feel so

291
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,800
much pity like or what's
happened or so much confusion.

292
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,760
And at the end of the day,
you're like, man, they're going

293
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,600
to beat me home.
Amen.

294
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,560
Like you're going to get there
ahead of me.

295
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,720
You're already there like you,
you already have beat me.

296
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,560
And what this is talking about,
not just them being in the

297
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,760
presence of God in heaven, but
their actual body, you're going

298
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,200
to find out is actually going to
beat you to heaven if you're

299
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,480
still alive when Jesus comes
back.

300
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,200
It's pretty amazing.
Amen.

301
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600
So we kind of joke in my family,
like if if dying goes first or I

302
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,360
go first, we're like, man,
you're going to beat me home,

303
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120
man.
I'm kind of getting jealous like

304
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,640
because we know what eternity is
like we know what happens.

305
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,440
This is the sequence of things.
And so Paul encourages church

306
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,920
verse 16 says for Lord himself,
Jesus will come down from

307
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,080
heaven.
So just like the way you went

308
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,360
up, this is with a loud command,
with the voice of the Archangel

309
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,640
and with the trumpet call of God
and The Who?

310
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,600
The dead in Christ, There's no
Jesus.

311
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Well, what?
That's how you know something's

312
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,280
going weird when you're seeing
dead bodies come out of graves.

313
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,160
Amen.
You, you'll be sitting, you'll

314
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,120
be you'll, you didn't go there.
God didn't call you up first.

315
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Those dead bodies come up first.
It says after that we are still

316
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,040
alive.
OK, well, our left will be

317
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600
caught up together.
And that word caught up.

318
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,480
That's the word for rapture.
And it's it's found actually in

319
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920
Latin, the word is raptoro.
So they actually didn't get it

320
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,200
from the the Greek, but we're
caught up.

321
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,760
That means we're raptured up
with him in the clouds to meet

322
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,280
the Lord and air.
And so we will be with the Lord.

323
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,120
How long forever.
There's your timeline.

324
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,240
We're going to be with Jesus
forever and therefore encourage

325
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,080
one to know with these words,
you may want to like what

326
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,800
happens if I die and we're going
to dive into like what it looks

327
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,320
like all these pieces, but just
know the next prophetic

328
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,760
prophetic event to happen is
that Jesus comes to the eastern

329
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,320
sky.
He splits it.

330
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,760
There's a Archangel in the
high-ranking Angel.

331
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,640
They blow a trumpet, there's a
shout, and that the bodies of

332
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,920
those who are dead in Christ
raise out of the graves.

333
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,240
Now do you guys know at a
Christian cemetery, and they may

334
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,200
not have ever heard this or seen
this, but all the caskets, they

335
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,400
face E, the feet faced east and
the face faces E.

336
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,200
Because when Jesus comes back
and their bodies come out of the

337
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,040
caskets, they are resurrecting
out of the grave looking at

338
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,360
Jesus.
Do you guys know that?

339
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Mind blown.
Some of y'all know that.

340
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,000
Some of y'all work at a funeral.
Yes.

341
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,520
Shout out to Mount Moriah.
Come on, somebody she knows.

342
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,080
Come on.
Some.

343
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,440
See, it's one of those things
it's it's like a nod of faith

344
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,640
even in your death.
It's pretty cool.

345
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,600
And some, some people say
pastors will like they should

346
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,960
face West so they can watch
their congregation rise.

347
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,400
I'll be watching you guys.
I'm facing the east.

348
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,960
Forget you folks, man.
I'm going with Jesus.

349
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,640
I love you all, but I'm going
with Jesus, right?

350
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,240
It's good, man.
It's crazy.

351
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,280
Like just think like how
practical Christians have

352
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,320
thought of the years about what
attorney looks like.

353
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,840
And then we might be just a
little ignorant of like what

354
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,440
really is to happen.
And So what happens when you

355
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320
when you die?
Like let's talk of your body a

356
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,440
little bit.
So you go immediately and this

357
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,760
is going to your first aha
moment.

358
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,800
Maybe you go immediately to a
present.

359
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,160
Heaven may confuse you for a
second, but you're going to be

360
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,040
in the presence of Jesus, be
full of joy, but you don't have

361
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,760
what if you die now a
resurrected body because it, the

362
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,400
rapture had happened yet, right?
So if you die before the

363
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,160
rapture, what happens?
You go into the present heaven.

364
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,840
How many guys do there's
actually more than one heaven.

365
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,360
How many guys do that today?
Same to all.

366
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,040
But you're going to know the,
you know the verse, you've all

367
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,760
heard it mostly if you've been a
Christian, right?

368
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,360
Like at the end of the Bible.
I mean, you'd like to, if you,

369
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,160
if you please, you can skip to
Revelation 21 and 22.

370
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,760
You can read the end of the
book.

371
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,800
Amen.
You can cheat.

372
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,400
It's OK.
Read the last two chapters of

373
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,760
the Bible and you're going to
see that God creates a new

374
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:09,320
heaven and a new earth.
So there's a 1st heaven that we

375
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,040
go to when we die.
That how many guys mind just got

376
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,760
blown a little bit.
I mean, just to be honest, like,

377
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760
oh, pastor, like I'm not so sure
about this thing.

378
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,800
What are you talking about?
Right.

379
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,960
And I want to just kind of dive
into like, what does this look

380
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,840
like?
So Revelation 21, one through 4.

381
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,880
It says then I just talking
about John.

382
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,960
OK, He says, I saw a new heaven
and a new earth.

383
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,800
Where the what?
Yeah, the first heaven, that's

384
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,000
the heaven that we go to right
now for the raptures of the 1st

385
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,440
heaven in the first earth.
That's what we're on now.

386
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:48,800
It had what it passed away like
there's an end to this earth in

387
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,520
this, the heaven that in this
time frame, and there was no

388
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,360
longer any sea.
I saw a holy city with a new

389
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,640
Jerusalem coming down out of
heaven.

390
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,880
We'll talk about that from God
prepared as a bride, beautifully

391
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,520
dressed for her husband.
Verse 3.

392
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,400
And I heard a loud voice from
the throne saying, look, God's

393
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,000
dwelling place is among the
people that'll be us and he will

394
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,480
dwell with them and they will be
his people and God himself will

395
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,200
be with them and be their God.
Who knows?

396
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,839
That's good news, Amen.
Like like, well, what happens

397
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,200
for eternity?
Well, we're in the presence of

398
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,160
God and Jesus and the Father and
the Holy Spirit.

399
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,320
They are the centerpiece of
heaven, that this is what we

400
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,160
pursue on earth.
It's what we pursue in the

401
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080
present heaven.
It's what we get to pursue in

402
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,920
the new earth and the new
heaven.

403
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,600
This is exactly what we aim for,
to be like Christ and to be in

404
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,600
the presence of Christ.
Verse 4 says he will wipe every

405
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,880
tear from their eyes.
There'll be no more death or

406
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,880
mourning or crying or pain for
the what older order, the old

407
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,520
heaven and new earth of these
things has passed away.

408
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,240
Now at this point you're like,
you probably got a lot of

409
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,840
questions.
Who's got some questions right?

410
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,000
Like what in the world does this
mean for me right now?

411
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,520
How does this, what does this
look like?

412
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,880
And let me, let me encourage you
this.

413
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,640
So my, my wife, my
mother-in-law, Leanne Emery

414
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:15,120
Levi, they are literally about
22 minutes away ish from landing

415
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:19,400
in Bangkok, Thailand, OK, And
they'll be gone for a distance.

416
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,800
OK And they left yesterday, I
don't know, 7:00 AM ish in the

417
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,080
morning.
So they've been traveling for

418
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,200
quite a time.
I'm sure they're tired right

419
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
now.
God bless them with those kids.

420
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,280
Amen.
Hope the kids slept a lot and

421
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,800
not going crazy, right?
But they actually flew to Dallas

422
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,920
and then they flew to Tokyo and
then they flew to Bangkok.

423
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,920
So if I you said where, where,
where's she going?

424
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480
I could technically tell she
went to Dallas, say, oh, we're

425
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,680
going to Tokyo.
That's cool.

426
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,360
The kids were excited.
You know Tokyo, right?

427
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,160
But she's really going to
Bangkok.

428
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,760
So the way you'd say like what,
what does heaven look like?

429
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,440
You could say like, I'm going to
the new earth and the new heaven

430
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,240
could be one.
You're going to see it later.

431
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,280
So I'm going to the new heaven
by the means of the present

432
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,520
heaven, Amen.
I'm going to the Bangkok by

433
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,040
means of Dallas, by the means of
Tokyo.

434
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,240
Like I'm getting there.
And there's different things

435
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,120
that happen in both these areas,
but I'm telling you like I'm

436
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,880
just going to dive in today.
It's all about the present

437
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,760
heaven, Amen.
Like I just want to get you out

438
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,560
of the gate a little bit.
What happens?

439
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,240
You die.
What's it look like?

440
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,920
So let's just talk about it.
Let's let's talk about this,

441
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,680
this heaven itself.
And it's pretty amazing that

442
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,880
heaven is actually going to come
down to earth one day like that.

443
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,800
We will be not just in the
present heaven, but will

444
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,320
actually be present of the
future heaven on earth.

445
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,600
It's pretty cool.
We read earlier it says that the

446
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,920
New Jerusalem will come down.
You guys remember saying that

447
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,320
the New Jerusalem, the city will
come down from the heaven.

448
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,640
And where's it going to go?
Get down to the new earth.

449
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,400
And on that city, that new
Jerusalem, that's where God's

450
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,960
throne is.
That's where we will be.

451
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,480
And so in the future, we're
actually on earth, in heaven.

452
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,680
So maybe the new earth isn't so
different than the old earth,

453
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,920
Amen.
Because we often think like, oh,

454
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,040
earth is here and heaven is
there.

455
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,920
Like we often separate the two
that earth is bad and heaven is

456
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,240
good.
Like we want to draw these like

457
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,560
complete opposites, but I, I
would encourage you that they're

458
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,280
very similar, eerily similar.
And we're going to dive into

459
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,200
what that may look like.
But godly clearly says that he's

460
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,680
going to change the location of
heaven and his presence are

461
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,120
going to be there.
And it's interesting.

462
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,560
And this time we like to say,
oh, heavens, up there, which I,

463
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,040
I can make an argument that it's
actually down here, which we'll

464
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,560
talk about, but we know for sure
that the future heaven is down

465
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,960
here.
Amen.

466
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Like we're not like, oh, what's
going on?

467
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,160
Like the presence of God.
It's amazing that God is coming

468
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,800
to our world to meet with us.
You can make an argument for

469
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080
time, space and matter.
I mean, this just talk about

470
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,680
eternity.
How how many guys know that

471
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,680
actually hell was relocated?
You know, there's two locations

472
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,400
of hell.
That's crazy.

473
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Like, so right now, like there's
a place called Gehenna Hades

474
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,080
Shoal.
It's all the same place.

475
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,880
It's given different names.
Gehenna was the Greek name for

476
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,200
the place where they burned the
trash outside Jerusalem.

477
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,280
It's a place where the in
Jeremiah where they sacrifice

478
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,880
children, the heathen gods is
where he came the trash dump in

479
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,480
Jerusalem.
And so when Jesus said, hey,

480
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,760
you're going to have national
teeth in Gehenna, he's actually

481
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,520
talking about the place where
they burned the trash in

482
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,280
Jerusalem and never stopped
burning day and night.

483
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,240
That's Gehenna.
But it's really crazy.

484
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,240
At the end of the Bible, hell
actually moves locations as

485
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,440
found in Revelation 20.
It says death and Hades were

486
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,040
what they're thrown into the
lake of fire.

487
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,200
How many guys do the hell
actually move locations?

488
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,960
Is that crazy?
I mean, it's like, wow, like

489
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,640
dude, there's so much more to
the store than what meets the

490
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,640
eye.
Like we'd be pretty miserable if

491
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,240
all we thought was materialism
or like material things existed.

492
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,240
There's there's a supernatural
world around us.

493
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,080
So the lake of fire is a second
death.

494
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,960
We go through the physical
death.

495
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Our spirits died in Christ and
alive to Christ.

496
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,200
We don't have a second death as
Christians.

497
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,080
Verse 15 says anyone whose names
are not found in the book of

498
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,640
life, that's the Lamb's book of
life was thrown into the lake of

499
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,720
fire.
But the point is this is that

500
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,120
heavens are located, Hells are
located and there's a present

501
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,520
heaven we go to.
So I just wanted to spend the

502
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,440
rest of time today kind of
walking through the present

503
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,000
heaven.
And one of the questions you get

504
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,440
a lot is are we, are you
conscious?

505
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Like do you have the ability to
think like, do you know what's

506
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,440
going on?
A lot of people think you just

507
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,800
kind of just wait and then
something happens and someone

508
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,920
just kind of walk through the
Scripture and just show you what

509
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,920
it looks like for us.
So Ecclesiastes 12/7 says this,

510
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,320
the dust returns to the ground
it came from.

511
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,040
That's talking about our bodies,
right?

512
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,560
We had the curse and dust.
You came and dust you shall

513
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,280
return.
That was the curse of man.

514
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,040
It says this.
And the spirit returns to where

515
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,560
God who gave it the the the
spirit inside of us, our human

516
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960
spirit goes back to God who gave
us spirit.

517
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,360
We became a living soul when God
did what he breathed in the

518
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:07,960
breath of life into the man's
lungs.

519
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,520
He gave us life and that life
never ceases.

520
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Amen.
Like we're all eternal, whether

521
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,840
you know Jesus or not, we're
eternal and we have life with

522
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,400
Jesus, we know Jesus.
So the human spirit immediately

523
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,640
either goes to heaven or hell.
And we talk about this in Luke

524
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,120
16.
You'll, we'll dive into this a

525
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:26,800
lot deeper next week.
But Luke 16, it says this is

526
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,080
where Christ, she shows Lazarus
and the rich man and they're

527
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,680
both immediately conscious
immediately in heaven or hell.

528
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,120
Do you notice they had a
conversation in Luke 16?

529
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,320
The rich man talks, right?
He's speaking.

530
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,240
Send Lazarus back.
Send somebody back to earth to

531
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,680
tell somebody about this place
I'm in.

532
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,040
They had an immediate
consciousness of after death.

533
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,200
That's pretty amazing to think
about it, isn't it?

534
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,840
Just to me like I don't cease to
exist, like I don't go what

535
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,320
happened?
You died.

536
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,800
I'm just not here.
It's like no Lord, I actually

537
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,840
continue like heaven is a
continuation of the things on

538
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,160
earth.
Pretty amazing to think about.

539
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,840
First Luke 2343 says this Jesus
name to him truly today truly I

540
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,880
tell you today somebody say
today, today just taught a thief

541
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,800
on the cross, you will be with
me in paradise.

542
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:24,320
It's not truly one day, it's
truly today that's good news.

543
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,400
Amen.
The Bible says to be absent the

544
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,960
body is to be present with the
the Lord like you, you're you.

545
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,160
You don't cease to exist.
You don't die and go to oblivion

546
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,240
like you are here and your
spirit goes there and you're the

547
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,360
same person.
Amen.

548
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,840
That's good news.
That's great news.

549
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:47,840
St.
Corinthians 5-6 says this.

550
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,400
Therefore we do not.
Therefore, we're always

551
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,960
confident and know that as long
as we are at home in the body,

552
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,200
we are away.
We're away from Lord, for we

553
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,080
live by faith or by sight.
Verse 8, We are confident, I

554
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,040
say, and would prefer to be away
from the body.

555
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,400
We'd rather not be here on earth
in this body and prefer to be at

556
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,240
home with the the Lord.
You guys remember the stoning of

557
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,280
Stephen in the first martyr New
Testament Acts Chapter 7, I

558
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,640
believe.
And he's dying and they're

559
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,840
throwing stones at him and
remember what happens.

560
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,960
He looks up to heaven and he
quotes Jesus.

561
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:29,440
He says, Father forgive them for
the know not what they do.

562
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:35,280
And Lord, I give you my spirit.
But it says he looked up and the

563
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,120
skies open.
He saw like he saw heaven and he

564
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,920
saw Jesus standing at the right
hand of the Father.

565
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,120
That's pretty good.
Amen.

566
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,920
So, So when, so when Stephen
died being killed by these

567
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,240
rocks, did he slip into
oblivion?

568
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,680
Did he cease to exist?
Did, did, did he use no

569
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,760
consciousness, no awareness, no
memory, no connection, no

570
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,960
familiarity, or did he simply
just go, Lord, take my spirit.

571
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,920
And he stepped out of this
earthly little world and stepped

572
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,560
into the invisible world that's
right here, right now with Jesus

573
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:18,160
and the Father.
It's the second one, Amen, that

574
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,440
I mean that this is better news
than we're saying, but it's good

575
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,360
news, Amen?
So the physical part of us

576
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:27,040
sleeps, but the spiritual part
of us, the parts and it's

577
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,840
relocated immediately in the
present heaven in a conscious

578
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,600
state.
That's really good when you're

579
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,120
staring into into a casket and
you're wondering where is this

580
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:37,680
person that, oh, they're in
heaven right now.

581
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,880
They, they know what's going on.
They didn't forget their memory.

582
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,960
They're not brainwashed or
reprogrammed.

583
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,320
They're not turned into an
Angel.

584
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,120
They're not rebuilt to something
else like we are an extension of

585
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,600
our life today.
So it's very clear, like there's

586
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,360
no soul sleep.
We're not disembodied members.

587
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,920
This isn't what happens.
So what happens first when you

588
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,840
die?
So Hebrews 927 says this.

589
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,240
Just as people are destined to
die once, so we all have that

590
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,720
appointment with death, right?
Like this just part of the

591
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,240
curse, like physically dying
once.

592
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,920
It says after that to face what?
Judgement.

593
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,240
Now when you see this word
judgement, you're like, oh man,

594
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,440
this is not the word I want to
hear, right?

595
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,840
It's beautiful, fun and not have
any problems and all be

596
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,400
beautiful and we go to this
judgment.

597
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,360
I don't encourage you when it's
talking about this judgment.

598
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,800
This immediate judgment is
called the judgment of faith,

599
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,440
OK?
It's not the judgment of works,

600
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,440
but it's a judgment of faith.
And there's multiple judgments

601
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,240
you're going to have in heaven.
And as a Christian, the first

602
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,080
thing is really anybody who dies
goes to the judgment of faith.

603
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,320
And the judgment of faith is
simply deciding, do you know

604
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,320
Jesus or do you not know Jesus
based on your faith?

605
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,560
It's not of judgment.
Are you good or are you bad or

606
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,880
did you good enough stuff or did
you go to church or pray, read

607
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,840
your Bible enough?
Do you truly believe in Jesus?

608
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,600
And if you believe in Jesus, you
go to Who said?

609
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,840
Hell, you're.
Wrong.

610
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,400
OK.
Yeah, go to heaven, right?

611
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,600
And if you don't?
Believe in Jesus, you go to

612
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,560
hell.
That that that's the immediate

613
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,840
judgment that this is talking
about.

614
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:12,840
There's a further judgment down
the road and it where you sit at

615
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,880
the Bema seat of Christ and your
works are judged, not you being

616
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,200
judged, but are your works, are
they wood, haze, stubble?

617
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,080
And we receive rewards based
upon what we did on earth.

618
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,920
And those rewards determine your
role and responsibilities in

619
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,480
heaven.
And there's a second judgment

620
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,280
that's reserved for somebody who
doesn't know Jesus.

621
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,080
So those are cast into hell or
they're pulled back out and are

622
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,560
judged against the great white
throne.

623
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,320
You'll see in Revelation 21.
If they aren't found, the Lamb's

624
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,480
book of life are cast into the
lake of fire.

625
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,840
That's.
The second death we taught in

626
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,560
the.
Bible, This is why we're going

627
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,320
to get busy telling people about
heaven, Amen, and tell people

628
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,440
about Jesus because we are
sinners and we're broken and

629
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,320
there's a consequence to our
sin.

630
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,720
And so when you stand at a
funeral, we're not really

631
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,440
preaching a funeral to those
people in Christ like this is

632
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,320
the end because that's what so
many people think.

633
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,960
But we're actually preaching the
beginning of their new life that

634
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,880
they've been reborn into when
they accepted Jesus.

635
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,600
Like this is fulfillment of
their second birth.

636
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,320
That makes sense, like you're
born again and now this is the

637
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,640
time you fulfill.
You're not just justified,

638
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,000
you're sanctified, but this is
the first day you'll live in

639
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,720
where you're actually fully
glorified.

640
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,640
The sin nature is gone.
You're in the presence of God

641
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,160
and you're doing the exact role
responsibilities that God has

642
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,800
for you in the present heaven.
It's pretty amazing to think

643
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,880
about it.
We should be excited about this.

644
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,680
We should look at this and go,
man, I'm I'm jealous for those

645
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,480
who've gone before me in Christ.
I don't feel pity for them

646
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,680
because I know exactly where
they are and Lord, I'm going to

647
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,200
be there soon.
Like it's just a just a breath

648
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,840
away.
Amen.

649
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,360
Humanity often concludes the.
Spiritual realm is a really good

650
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,320
thing and the physical things
are bad.

651
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,600
And so we we have a hard time
putting physical things in

652
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600
heaven like is it can we really
believe this?

653
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,600
And I think sometimes is like we
asked a question is, is heaven

654
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,960
physical?
So think about this in the Old

655
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,600
Testament, like the very
beginning, God created the the

656
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,240
heavens and the earth and it was
what it was good.

657
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,480
And he create all things in
there and he said it was good,

658
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,000
it's good, it's good.
And then he said it was very

659
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,120
good.
We're going back to that.

660
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,840
And inside of the garden was a
tree.

661
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,880
What was the name of the tree?
Tree of life, right?

662
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,400
It had it had fruit, and if you
ate the fruit, you continue to

663
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,720
live well.
Where is the tree of the of life

664
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,480
today?
You can't find on Earth.

665
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,880
Remember they kicked out of the
garden.

666
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,200
He put this like really buff,
strong, crazy Angel that was

667
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,560
swinging the sword of fire so
that we couldn't go back into

668
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,480
where the garden.
He kicked us out of the garden

669
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,200
so we couldn't continue to live
in our sin nature and keep

670
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,280
eating the fruit from this tree
and live forever.

671
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,040
Has anybody found this tree on
earth?

672
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,560
This tree does not exist on
earth.

673
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,120
It's been relocated to heaven
where we get to eat from the

674
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,440
tree.
So think about this if there's a

675
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,080
physical tree on Earth.
With Adam and Eve.

676
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,400
Would it make?
Sense that this tree is.

677
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,240
Still physical in heaven.
Did you know that tree is?

678
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,840
Moved from the present heaven,
it's relocated into the center

679
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,920
of the city of Jerusalem.
Then when we talked about

680
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,600
earlier, it came down to the
earth and we eve that tree and

681
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,120
there's rivers around it.
When I was talking to Bill, when

682
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,760
his dad passed away, Bill Hardy,
his dad had passed away and he

683
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,920
said, son, I'm going to meet you
the fountains in heaven.

684
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,800
Now, the Bible doesn't really
explicitly.

685
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,760
Say like, here's the fountains.
But brother, I'm pretty sure

686
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,480
it's close.
To those trees, right?

687
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,600
The tree.
And I thought, man, how amazing,

688
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,040
How much faith would you have to
have to actually pick a meeting

689
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,960
spot out in heaven?
That's pretty.

690
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,600
Cool, isn't it?
But that's how much you should

691
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,760
believe in heaven, that you'd
pick it out and you long for it

692
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,000
and you want to be there.
But I'll encourage you.

693
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,600
It's it's physical.
You have a tree that's been

694
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,200
moved and you think, well,
material things are bad because

695
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,320
we think all the sins affect all
these things, right?

696
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,600
But the original sin is actually
not Adam and Eve.

697
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,120
Now you might call it the
original sin of man, but the

698
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,040
original sin, like the very
first sin you ever seen, like we

699
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,040
know of, and all of eternity
actually didn't happen on earth.

700
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,640
It actually happened where in
heaven, remember when Satan he,

701
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,080
he, he got this pride, he
looked, he saw his reflection

702
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,560
and he's like a full of
instruments and worship and he

703
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,360
had this pride and then God cast
them out of heaven.

704
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,320
So you can't just say like,
well, heaven is good and earth

705
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,880
is bad.
No, no, no, that that's not it

706
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,920
at all.
Like is they both have some

707
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,080
level of been affected by sin,
but God is removed to sin from

708
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,240
heaven completely and cast Satan
out like lightning and lives on

709
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,600
earth.
Think about this.

710
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Hebrews 85 says they serve at a
sanctuary.

711
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,720
This is talking about the the
old the Old Testament

712
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,000
Tabernacle.
OK, and the priest they serve at

713
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,680
a sanctuary.
That is a what?

714
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:11,800
What's it say?
A copy and a shadow of what is

715
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,360
in where.
Oh.

716
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,280
Man, so you're telling.
Me that the Tabernacle, the Old

717
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,240
Testament, that rickety tent we
talked about towards difference

718
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,760
maker that you set up in the
wilderness.

719
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,440
They moved around and David
didn't upgrade all the things

720
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,560
that rickety tent was actually
like set up inside, just like

721
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,680
the plans that are in heaven,
so.

722
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,960
Are you?
So you're telling me?

723
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,680
That the things of earth are
very similar to the things of

724
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,880
heaven?
Are you telling me that?

725
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Is that a little mind blowing
for anybody?

726
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,400
And look what it says here.
It says that Moses was warned

727
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,920
when he was about to build the
Tabernacle.

728
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,840
See to it that you make
everything according to the

729
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,800
pattern you shown you on the
mountain.

730
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,080
Hey Moses, when you build it,
make sure it looks just like I

731
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,000
showed you in heaven.
Make it just like I showed you

732
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,360
Moses.
So when you think about earth,

733
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,200
we got to think about earth as a
derivative of heaven, not as

734
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,199
earth the source and heavens the
the next.

735
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,719
No, heaven's the source and and
we're the derivative of heaven.

736
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,120
Amen.
It's just like as man was made

737
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,000
in God's image, Earth is made in
heaven's image.

738
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,639
Is is anybody going like this
yet?

739
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:26,199
What?
Are you kidding me?

740
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,120
So like all these fears I've had
about death and all the things

741
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,239
I'm wondering about, like it's
going to be very similar to to

742
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,679
then as is now eyes is crazy.
And so like these pieces that

743
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:42,679
God's doing or actually just
here's the perfect picture and

744
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,480
put it on earth and we're going
to continue our life.

745
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,400
Just it's like a transition from
like earth to heaven.

746
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,639
And we're going to just keep
going.

747
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,920
How many guys would live
different if you know that it

748
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,120
wasn't just going to be like,
we're going to start over again,

749
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,320
like what we do now matters for
eternity and we have this little

750
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,920
sliver of time where we could do
say things that some people

751
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,600
can't say.
Like, dude, I went to the

752
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,440
present heaven.
Some of you all get you get to

753
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,320
get maybe, maybe I die and then
Jesus comes back, right?

754
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,520
Some of you all like, I skipped
death, man, I went to the

755
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,840
clouds, right?
Think about Abel.

756
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,160
This is pretty crazy to think
about Abel's if you don't know,

757
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,840
he's the first person we know in
the Bible to die, right?

758
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,680
And I kept thinking like, man,
that'd be freaky, wouldn't it?

759
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:27,080
Like he dies and he shows up.
Where's everybody at?

760
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,320
He's the first one there.
Amen.

761
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,840
But this is literally a thoughts
he would have had also crazy

762
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,080
think about and we'll get this
next week a little bit.

763
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,920
But the voice of the martyrs
speak in heaven, and they.

764
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,000
Ask a question.
How long?

765
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,680
Lord, before you come back, or
before you take vengeance on

766
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,240
what happened.
So wait.

767
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,280
Well, there's, so there's.
Like you talk, you have a

768
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,400
memory.
Perfect memory because you're

769
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,280
perfect judgement.
You remember what happened.

770
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,400
You want righteousness still you
don't have full knowledge

771
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,680
because you don't know when he's
coming back.

772
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,360
So it means you can have
discovery, which means you can

773
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,200
have imagination, which means
you still can find things out.

774
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,320
You have to question you still.
You still like that sounds very

775
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,480
human, but you're on in heaven.
And the thing about you know, at

776
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,760
Abel's blood says the Bible, it
what cries out, it speaks.

777
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,320
We say there's a thing.
Matt Ribbon has an amazing song

778
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,880
about that.
But his blood speaks.

779
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,800
What's it speak?
It speaks for righteousness,

780
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,360
right?
But you think about why does God

781
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,760
say that his blood speaks?
Is it because Abel?

782
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,480
Is in heaven right now, the
present heaven, and he's

783
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,480
literally crying out to God for
righteous and vengeance.

784
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,840
So his blood speaks on earth,
but his voice speaks in heaven.

785
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,920
I don't know, you made that
blows my mind a little.

786
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,280
Bit it's amazing.
And we're going to dive into a

787
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,880
lot more next week on like what
exactly it looks like in the

788
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,840
present heaven.
And it, it's, it's, I'm telling

789
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,000
you, it's, it's a whole new
level of if you move 5° today of

790
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,400
what you believe about heaven,
you're going to move 100° next

791
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,840
week because of stories and
stuff we're going to walk

792
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,400
through in Scripture.
And so if you think about the

793
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,000
present earth, all realities,
our cities, our community, our

794
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,560
ways are actually derived from
heaven.

795
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,880
Like it's not going to be much
different than heaven.

796
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,040
And so you ask like Jesus said
this on the cross we talked

797
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,840
about earlier, Luke 2343.
Jesus answered him truly.

798
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,960
I tell you today you'll be with
me in where paradise.

799
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,000
This is mind blowing.
So the word paradise actually

800
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,960
means a fenced in garden.
Fenced in garden in the

801
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,120
Septuagint.
The Old Testament was translated

802
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,520
from Aramaic and Hebrew, mostly
Hebrew, and it was translated

803
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,880
into Greek a few 100 years
before Jesus was on earth.

804
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,320
And the word they used for
garden is the same word that

805
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,960
Jesus uses here for the thief of
the cross.

806
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,160
So if you've read the Septuagint
and you translate like Jesus,

807
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,120
but it translated, it'd say
there's not a garden, It'd say

808
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,040
there's paradise.
And so Jesus, he's saying, hey,

809
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,720
today, thief on the cross, today
you're going to be with me in

810
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:09,640
this fenced end Garden of Eden.
Is that crazy to think about

811
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,840
what Jesus was actually saying
that that garden and think about

812
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,600
this garden was a garden
affected by sin.

813
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,880
It's interesting because we
talked about the tree.

814
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,520
The tree has not been affected,
but the Angel stood where the

815
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,320
entrance of the garden didn't
stand at the edge of the tree.

816
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,440
And that garden was moved from
earth into the present heaven

817
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,280
unaffected by sin.
And Jesus tells his thief on the

818
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,560
cross today you're going to be
with in paradise.

819
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,800
How about you?
But I'm looking forward to going

820
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,800
home, being the gardener.
I've been talking, I've been

821
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,920
talking to my wife dying about
it.

822
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,000
And we were talking about like,
man, what do you want me doing

823
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,400
in heaven?
And she goes, man, after you're

824
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,960
seeing all that stuff, I just
want to go, I want to go have a

825
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,480
garden because I kill everything
on earth, right?

826
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,080
And something's going to grow in
heaven, right?

827
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,880
And she's, I mean, at all tongue
in cheek.

828
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,240
She was really excited about it,
right?

829
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,160
Revelation 27 says this.
Whatever has ears, let them hear

830
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,600
what the Spirit says to the
churches, to the one that's

831
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,840
victorious, I give the right to
eat.

832
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,720
Somebody say eat.
OK, this is this is talking

833
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:18,040
about in heaven.
OK, so now we're talking about

834
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,520
we're eating in heaven.
I was I.

835
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,960
Was looking for an Amen on.
That one, right?

836
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,240
But we're eating in heaven.
That sounds good.

837
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:28,200
Well, OK, so there's all these
arguments for like physical

838
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,400
bodies, right?
We eat from the tree of life,

839
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:39,360
which is in the.
Pretty cool.

840
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,520
Amen.
I mean, it's like this is

841
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,880
something to look forward to.
The same tree in the garden is

842
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,600
now the same tree in the present
heaven.

843
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,560
It's the same tree they'll be in
the new Jerusalem, on the new

844
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,640
earth and currently presides
just one breath away.

845
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,760
As soon as we take our last
breath, we now eat from the tree

846
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,640
of life.
That's good news.

847
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Amen.
And the reality is God's not

848
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,560
done with Eden.
He just relocated Eden.

849
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,320
If he can move a tree, why can't
he move a garden?

850
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,600
And then?
It's kind of weird too.

851
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,880
Like what?
About our bodies, because you're

852
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,680
like, OK, there's no resurrected
body.

853
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,000
Like, do we have bodies like, or
we just floating spirits?

854
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,840
How's this work?
And I was to encourage you

855
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,040
because there's not a lot of
time here, but I probably need

856
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,320
like a year on heaven.
You have all the time to figure

857
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,280
this out.
But do we have resurrected

858
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,320
bodies?
So think about this.

859
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,120
Jesus had a resurrected body.
Amen.

860
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,240
So we at least know there's one
physical body in heaven.

861
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,440
Then he had this guy.
You guys remember Enoch?

862
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,920
Genesis 4 maybe?
Four.

863
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,080
I think it's 4.
And Enoch is a righteous man and

864
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,920
God just says it translates into
heaven.

865
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,760
And it wasn't like his body was
here on earth and then his soul

866
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,480
went to heaven.
He, he went, he was gone like

867
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,480
his whole being went.
So now you have two physical

868
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,640
bodies in heaven.
OK, Elijah, you guys remember

869
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,880
Elijah, dude, how about you?
But I want to go out with

870
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,240
Elijah, man, remember?
That chariot of fire.

871
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,640
That's the way to go, you know,
forget the hearse, you know,

872
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,000
hook me up to some Chariots of
fire.

873
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,480
And he rides that chariot fire
in his body to the present

874
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,080
heaven.
So we now at least know three

875
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,200
physical bodies are in heaven,
unless he just takes their body

876
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,000
and gives it a spirit in which,
OK, maybe there's a theory

877
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,960
there, right?
And then you got the mountain

878
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,600
transfiguration.
You guys remember this mountain

879
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,360
transfiguration?
Jesus takes his inner 3

880
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,960
disciples, Peter, James and John
up to the mountain

881
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,760
transfiguration.
He's trying to like unify them

882
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,320
on the things of Christ because
they don't understand what God

883
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,920
is actually doing.
Like this is like Peter told

884
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,400
Jesus, no, don't die, don't go
to the cross.

885
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,600
It's just after Jesus rebuked
Peter and said, get behind me,

886
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,080
say you know what you're doing.
So he brings him up to the

887
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,840
mountain transfiguration and he
hears a voice from the Father.

888
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,600
This is my son.
I'm well pleased and I love him.

889
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,920
I'm well pleased and you should
listen to him.

890
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,120
This is the one of the only
times you see the voice of

891
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,680
Father speak to humans and up on
the mountain transfiguration.

892
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,520
There were some other people
there.

893
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,360
You guys remember who's who's up
on Mount transfiguration?

894
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:12,800
Jesus, Moses.
Oh, there's our oh, our boy

895
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,280
lives back.
That's crazy.

896
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,080
So you mean they're actually
living and they're talking to

897
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,920
each other, and they have
ability to reason and they're in

898
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:28,040
physical bodies and they're
recognized by humans?

899
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,280
Sounds good to me.
Amen.

900
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,360
Sounds real good to me.
So this is the mountain

901
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,240
Transfiguration.
So do you have a body?

902
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,280
Revelation 6, We're going to
talk about this one in depth

903
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,640
next week. 6, Revelation 6,
verse 9 through 11 says when he

904
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,440
opened the 5th seal, I saw under
the altar the souls of those who

905
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,920
have been slain.
Those have been martyred.

906
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:52,560
This last couple days ago was
the 70th anniversary of Jim

907
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,720
Elliott, Nate St. and the five
missionaries that were killed in

908
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,240
Ecuador.
I don't know if you guys saw

909
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:00,440
that or not Nerd alert.
I saw that.

910
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,040
But they're martyr for their
faith, trying to try to reach a

911
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:06,200
tribe of people that did come to
Christ.

912
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,840
You haven't seen the end of the
Spear or Beyond Against the

913
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,720
Splendor.
Gotta watch the movies, but

914
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,200
amazing story.
But there this is them as well.

915
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,680
This is Abel.
Those are slain because the word

916
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,880
of God.
So because the truth of God and

917
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,360
the testimony they maintained,
they called out in a loud voice

918
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,160
how long sovereign Lord, holy
and true, until the judge that

919
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,040
inhabits the earth avenge our
blood.

920
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,840
And then each of them was given
a what?

921
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:37,200
A what?
A white robe, they're given a

922
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,880
white robe.
And they were told to wait a

923
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,640
little longer until the full
number of the fellow servants,

924
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,200
the brothers and sisters, were
killed just as they had been.

925
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,280
God's answer is just wait
because there's more Mars

926
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,480
coming.
You actually sing the song.

927
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,040
Lord Jesus, come, come.
Lord, we want you to come.

928
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,120
And theologically speaking, it
would be like, Lord, I trust

929
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,760
when you come because Lord, I'm
not asking you to do something

930
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,200
you don't want to do because you
are waiting to do stuff right

931
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,640
now.
And if I ask you to come back,

932
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,600
that would be a selfish act I've
ever had because you're still

933
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,360
redeeming people.
So, Lord, you come when you want

934
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,480
to because surely you're going
to come.

935
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,760
And I'm just waiting and
suffering and endurance because

936
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,440
I know you're working a plan.
There's something way bigger

937
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,600
than I see.
So selfishly, Lord, come.

938
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,960
But Lord, I trust in your
timing.

939
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,800
But they had white robes.
So if you're going to have a

940
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,880
white robe in heaven, wouldn't
it think you'd have something to

941
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,000
put the robe on?
I mean, just a thought.

942
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
That sounds good to me.
Amen.

943
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,480
We don't know what these bodies
look like.

944
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,000
I kind of joked about having
ABS.

945
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,360
You know, don't think Jesus is
going to care.

946
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,120
I'm sure we'll be, you know, we
don't have to worry about all

947
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,000
these things, but we're going to
have this white robe and be

948
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,280
physical and be, be changed and
have memory, like perfect

949
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,240
memory.
We can solve some real marriage

950
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,640
fights, right?
Somebody was joking.

951
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,160
If I slept for 1000 years in
heaven and then God woke us up,

952
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,040
I'd still talk to my wife and be
like, see, I told you about

953
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,360
that.
You know, it's just like, it

954
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,240
doesn't matter, right?
But we're going to have all

955
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:00,840
this.
It's usually so similar to

956
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,440
earth, but yet so perfect in
heaven.

957
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:07,840
And I just want you guys to get
a foretaste just like peel back.

958
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,640
Like I can't put into words how
good heavens going to be like I

959
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,520
can't express all these pieces.
And if we could just get past

960
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,960
the fact that death is not the
end, that's actually the

961
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,160
beginning of what we've honestly
been striving for our whole

962
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,040
lives and that we're just kind
of bring as many people with us

963
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,240
to heaven as possible.
How many guys learned something

964
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:26,960
today?
Show of hands.

965
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:30,080
That's good news.
Amen.

966
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,560
How many guys just a little more
excited about heaven today?

967
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,840
Do we should be?
Because we, we, we, we, we can

968
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,800
just look into the grave.
And just feel so.

969
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:47,480
Empty and so bleak and so finite
and be so depressed and your

970
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,920
eyes so focused on this world.
We forget there's so much more

971
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,000
and so much better.
And it's so much more exciting

972
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,400
than we ever thought it to be.
And so is the church.

973
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,440
Like, let's be the church that's
no longer ignorant, Amen.

974
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,840
Let's be the church that's like,
no, I know.

975
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,040
Who's to say Jesus?
Who's to say the Bible like I

976
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,880
know exactly the next chapter, I
know what's going to happen.

977
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,560
Like my mind sets on heaven, my
goals are in heaven, my passions

978
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,120
on heaven.
And because I know about heaven,

979
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:22,280
I'm living drastically different
on earth.

980
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,720
The way I love, the things I
tolerate.

981
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:28,000
We should talk about that a
little bit, right?

982
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:34,280
The way I treat people, the the
things I die for where I go, the

983
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,360
call of God.
These are all elevated because

984
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,280
what here and now is only just
little tiny blink, a vapor, a

985
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,840
mist that appears for a time and
disappears.

986
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,600
But all of eternity looks like
this.

987
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,360
And so I know where I'm going
and I'm going to tell as many

988
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,800
people and leaves me people and
encourage people and be a model

989
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,600
for things of Christ because of
heaven sounds good.

990
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,760
That's the call.
So if I ever come before you,

991
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,600
God, we thank you for knowing
through Scripture exactly what

992
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,120
happens next.
God, we've just barely touched

993
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,040
the surface.
Maybe those?

994
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,800
Who are Jesus followers?
Who say, you know what I want to

995
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,240
learn about heaven.
I want to know more.

996
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,800
I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to
put my mind and my heart and my

997
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,480
passion on the present heaven
and the future heaven and I'm

998
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,320
going to be so excited.
What's going to happen?

999
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,320
Lord teach me, Lord, show me
that I wouldn't be afraid.

1000
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,560
I wouldn't be blind.
I wouldn't make up these things

1001
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,440
that make me have these just
real morbid hard thoughts like,

1002
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,560
oh, I've been oblivion and what
I become like.

1003
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,680
I would just know for sure
what's on the other side of this

1004
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,000
body.
So Lord teach me, maybe for some

1005
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,320
days in the House that you'd
say, you know what?

1006
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:43,480
It's sure.
It'd sure be.

1007
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,440
It'd sure.
Be sad to hear all these

1008
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,320
messages on heaven and actually
not go there.

1009
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,320
It'd be sad.
You're.

1010
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,120
Like man, I need heaven and.
We talked about that earlier.

1011
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:59,520
You made for a person and you
made for a place, and that

1012
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,040
person is Jesus.
And the Bible says it's only

1013
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,760
through Jesus you get to heaven.
He is the way, the truth and

1014
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,120
life.
No man comes to the Father,

1015
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,280
which is in heaven through
Jesus.

1016
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,040
He's the only name under heaven
which man are saved, saved

1017
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,160
Jesus.
The word Jesus, his name alone

1018
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,800
means to save.
The Lord saves, saves us from

1019
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,080
what saves us from sin.
It's freedom from sin.

1020
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,760
We were up on the stage, Jared
was jumping up and down talking

1021
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,440
about freedom from sin.
And today if you need freedom

1022
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,640
from sin, it only happens
through Jesus and crying out to

1023
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,600
Jesus is that first judgement of
faith will be those.

1024
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,080
Do you know Jesus or you don't
know Jesus?

1025
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,040
Are you in the Lamb's book of
life or not in the book of life,

1026
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,200
It's all determined about your
knowledge of belief of Jesus.

1027
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,200
And so you've heard the by faith
you've heard about Jesus, but by

1028
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,840
faith you have to accept Jesus.
And so today, if you're willing

1029
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,600
to humble yourself and say I'm
the Sinner and need of a Savior,

1030
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,240
there is nothing good inside me.
God, I've turned from you.

1031
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,080
I've ran my own way, but today,
God, I'm turning to you.

1032
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,280
I believe you died on the cross
for me You took away.

1033
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,480
My sin.
And you restoring me to you.

1034
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,160
God, I want you and heaven
today.

1035
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:15,600
If that's you without anybody
looking around, I'm not going to

1036
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:16,280
call you.
I'd make it weird.

1037
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,080
But if you need Jesus today to
get to heaven, we just raise

1038
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,640
your hand and let me know.
So I need Jesus today.

1039
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,040
Come on, see your hand and
bills.

1040
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,080
I need Jesus and walk.
Out here, knowing him, I saw

1041
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,200
your.
Hand and your hand and your

1042
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:39,160
hand, the Spirit of God, Amen.
If you do call on Jesus, thou

1043
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:43,280
says a free gift to anyone.
Today's salvation for whosoever

1044
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,840
the economy, Lord, that's you
and me shall be saved.

1045
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,720
He wants us in heaven enough to
send his Son Jesus down a cross

1046
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,160
and he's going to dwell with us
forever.

1047
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,080
So if you call on Jesus today,
just cry out to him, stop the

1048
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,760
prayer, eat your heart and say
Father God thank you so much for

1049
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,400
loving me enough to send Jesus.
God, I am not perfect, I am

1050
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,840
broken, I've ran my own way, but
God I'm desperate for you.

1051
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:10,000
God, I trust you, I faith that
your word is true and God that

1052
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,120
I'm going to heaven based on
your word, based on your loving

1053
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,920
me and your ability, your grace
coming to my life.

1054
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,240
God.
So I call on you God to be the

1055
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:20,360
Lord and Savior to change me.
God, I live for you.

1056
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,320
God today is no longer about
myself.

1057
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,320
God, I trust you.
I pray this in Jesus name and

1058
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,080
the church said Amen.
Come on, give it a big for the

1059
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:28,760
Lord.
Amen.

1060
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:34,960
This is the end of this.
