Greetings,
What causes heaven to be “heaven?” Is it because there are no hospitals or diseases there? Is it because there aren’t wailing sirens and crime? Or is it because divorce, suffering and even death do not exist there?
Could it rather be it’s because of WHO is in heaven? Is it because God is there and His abiding Presence fills that wonderful place with joy and peace?
Revelation 4:2 (NKJV) – “Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.”
Wherever God’s Presence dwells, the terrible consequences of sin simply cannot remain. Remember how demonic spirits had to flee, the sick were healed, and death was vanquished when Jesus showed up? The awful effects of sin cannot co-exist with Him. Those things won’t be found in heaven because He is there!
Father, cover us with Your Spirit today. Place Your hand upon us and allow us to abide in Your Presence. Let us experience the joy of knowing You and the shield of Your Presence. We love You, Lord!
My worship today is with Natalie Grant and “Your Presence Is My Weapon.”
We love and pray for you every day. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
