SERMON - TRUST IN GOD BUT OBEY HIM pt7


 
Trust In God
But
Obey Him
Part 7
 
 
After man has faced the Tribulation as well as the Great Tribulation and Jesus Christ has returned in all His glory. The terrors as and woes of have come to pass just a prophesied. He has judged the dead and found those  worthy of Paradise and has granted entry to them as well as all true Christians who dutifully obeyed Him and withstood the sufferings laid upon them. All heaven rejoices at the entry of the new saints and God is beaming.
 
What may be expected?
 
No matter how I seek to relate the imaginations of joy I fall short. No man can truly set forth the joys of having gained the knowledge and the experience of being in the presence of God for all eternity. Try as they might they too fall short. I will relate what I know to have been promised and what I have learned through study.
 
1 Corinthians 13: 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
 
When we are with God we will see everything with perfect clarity. We will have access to Jesus for all eternity.
 
Revelation 5: 10 “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,    and they will reign[b] on the earth.”
 
God has promised His servants shall rule. We will!
 
The fears of mortal dangers will be things of our past. Hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamis will be no more!
 
There will be no handkerchiefs, no need of tear glands, no more pain, no funeral parlors, caskets or cemeteries. Death simply is no more!
 
Revelation 21: 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
 
Know this; there will be no pharmacies, no hospitals. No need of doctors or nurses, ambulances, painkillers or any type of medical process. For those who have suffered illness and prolonged pain this is a pleasure to learn!
 
Gone will be any need of fear, no murders, rapes, lies, witchcraft or crimes we see here today.
 
Revelation 21: 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
 
All evildoers not worthy of His having saved them through His mercies are gone... Those found unworthy are not amongst the saved. Think of it; child molesters, gone!
No more homeless, no crippled, no deaf, dumb blindness as those malaise's no longer exist.
 
Our earthly bodies are no more.
 
1 Corinthians 15: 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
 
A reading of 1 Corinthians 38-54 will allow you to learn what is in store for our bodies.
Time will need no recording ergo, no need of clocks! No sun setting, no need for street lights, no darkness as the true Light of God will shine all about us.
 
I ask that you commit the following Scripture to memory:
 
1 Corinthians 15: 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Our entry into Paradise will be a glorious event and we cannot imagine what it will be like to be in the company of all the angels and all the saints that have been there for years. We will join them in singing praises to Him and that is a feeling I truly see as something to rejoice in! To be amongst God’s chosen is something beyond my wildest imaginations but will be a true joy!
 
Could you imagine the beauty of the hymns of praises to Him? I often experience soloists, vast hordes with me in accompaniment singing praises to Him. Happiness floods my soul as I experience these worshipful occurrences.
 
Each of us must make the worship of God and entry into heaven our most sincere desire.
 
Jesus promised to return and He will.
 
As I titled this group of sermons I wondered why God led me to title them as I did. Well I see that Trust in God with total obedience is the path He is teaching us so that we will, one day, share Paradise with one another and most of all, with Him!
 
Daniel 12: 13 “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.”
 
(Closing prayer)
 
Father, Almighty King, Creator of all there is we come before You with joy in our hearts as we praise You and worship You. You are our God and there is none before You.
 
Lord, You have revealed Your intents and allowed us to learn what lies ahead for us and our descendants to expect from this world. We are already suffering the pains of knowing our fellow men have for us and for Your Mighty Powers. While we believe, they doubt. Where we pray to You, they seek to ridicule You.  Where we show love, they show hatred and that hatred is directed towards You as well as us.
 
We here in America have yet to experience the pains and torture those in other lands are subjected to and we ask that You be with those that suffer in Your name.
 
Lord, the lies and untruths are beginning to grow louder right here in our homes and we know that with You at the head of Your people we have nothing to fear. Be with us O Lord at times of peril and of physical attacks on our persons. Allow those of us who are strong to protect the weaker and the strong to rely upon You for their strength.
 
Father, You are our reason for being and we thank You for all that You do.
 
Lord, we ask that You, in the person of the Holy Spirit, lead us to understanding as we study Your Word.
 
These things we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is One with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever,
 
Amen, amen and amen.
