Revelation 21:3 – “God himself will be with them”
Why does it emphatically say God himself? Because our God is
genuine and will not merely send us a delegate. He will actually come to live
among us on the restored Heaven and Earth. Just as he was not willing to send a
delegate to pay the price for our sin … He came, lived among us and died for
us…God genuinely lives among us. Jehovah God is the real deal, he is completely
authentic and comes with the seal of approval because of his presence.
In heaven, God’s glory will be the air we breathe, which will make
us want to breathe deeper. In the restored universe, sin will never be able to push
us away from our genuine God.
Now listen, His Spirit living within us, allows us to breathe deep
in preparation and in the strength of getting through.
Many books, self-help books and programs these days talk about
messages from the spirit realm, supposedly from people who’ve died and now
speak through channelers or mediums. They claim to have come from Heaven to
interact with loved ones, yet they almost never talk about God or express
wonder at seeing Jesus. No one that has actually been to heaven would neglect
talking about the main focus of heaven: God HIMSELF!
Think of it this way… If you were sent a personal invitation to
have a formal white tie dinner with Queen Elizabeth … you had made all the arrangements and spent
all the effort, time, and money to get to Buckingham Palace. You wouldn’t come
back and talk about the wall hangings and place setting; … you would talk about
her. Unless, she did not show. Everyone would be asking, “What was it like to
be with the Queen?” Well, … the paintings were amazing. The table service was
exquisite … no, you would talk about her elegance or how she spoke or why she
wanted an audience with you.
Heaven without God is a fake. Life without God is fake! Spending eternity without God would
be like the bride going on her honeymoon without her groom. If there’s no God,
there’s no heaven.
You see … wherever God is, is heaven!
Wherever
God is not, is hell!
Do
you have God sightings in your life? He is genuine and genuinely wants to be
your God. You know I love ya, Don
