…and your life is over.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

There is an inevitable eventual meeting EVERY human being will have. Either you will meet Jesus and be welcomed into His Kingdom of heaven or stand before the Father and His great White Throne. Everyone will stand before the King of Kings — and then kneel. Some willingly — some grudgingly. Because of technology there are testimonials (youtube and other places) of those who have went to the spiritual realms after their body died that we can sit and listen to their experiences. The starkness of the differences in the testimonials is astounding. For sure — Jesus IS who He says He is. The Bible is TRUE. But our personal understanding of it is … incomplete because it speaks of realms and things we don’t completely understand. Certainly Jesus’ disciples had great difficulty understanding Jesus while He was with them.

Paul talks about spiritual fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit. John gives us a glimpse of the spiritual realm through his vision of Revelation. People to this day are experiencing spiritual realms through visions and dreams and in near death experiences. The spiritual realm isn’t ‘lessor’ than here — it is SO much more and more complex. It also is our ‘home’ and those in Jesus LONG for it deep within their souls! But you don’t get into heaven without Jesus — He IS the ONLY way. Our spiritual senses are greater there. We’ve been created to be with Him — but because God gave each one of us free will — we must willingly CHOOSE Him to receive His salvation through Jesus.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

The ‘time’ is coming soon (yes that word) that we will be separated from this earthly body and the other two thirds of our being (soul and spirit) will be ‘spirited away’ somewhere. Where we will go will be determined by God. Those that have been ‘born again’ in spirit will be with Jesus in heaven, He will greet you there. Those that have not received Jesus and allowed Him to deposit Himself into them (via the Holy Spirit) have other possible spiritual realm destinations at physical death. But those with Jesus will eventually receive another body — and eternal one. All of these things are certainly mysterious. But Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to help us understand and be guided by. Don’t deny the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Please understand the magnitude of this revelation… what is the difference between this extremely brief mortal life and the measure of ..eternity? This life of 70+ years is like a ‘puff of smoke’ — like briefly lifted into the air and gone in seconds in the light of eternity. Yet — what we choose here will have eternal effects. What we agree to — will have massive rewards or losses eternally. So CHOOSE wisely — choose Jesus. Choose to learn of Him. Ask Jesus to baptize you with His Holy Spirit. Accept the council and guidance from the Holy Spirit. Learn to listen to His Voice. Work at learning to hear it with clarity and regularity. Seek Him EVERYDAY! Read the Bible.

The spiritual realms are REAL. Don’t listen the voices of the enemies of God. KNOW your King intimately. You really don’t want to experience all those places God will send those who refuse His love through Jesus. Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you. Do it with complete honesty and earnestness from your heart, mind, and soul. Jesus WANTS to meet you.
