Heaven

Thank you for your prayers, the move went better than anyone could've expected. This week we will be having the normal grand opening stuff. If anyone wants to drop by, I'll be in the office all week and we will be serving breakfast and lunch Monday through Thursday. Our new location is right beside the Greenville Harley Davidson dealership on Chrome Dr.

Last week I heard a message on Heaven by David Jeremiah, he is one of my favorites. He talked about John's vision of Heaven from Revelation and I wanted to share it with you this morning. This is the reward that we all seek. No, we are not worthy, but this is what our Father who made us has prepared for our eternity.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple . 23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; 26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; 27 and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life. 1 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; 4 they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. 6 And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. 7 "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book." 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 But he said* to me, "Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the words of this book. Worship God."
Rev 21:20-27 (NASB)
Rev 22:1-9 (NASB)


What a great day that will be when we all get there. Like the song says "We Shall Behold Him then Face to Face". What a great day that will be.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
