Dancing in Flowers of Heaven

I suspect many barely believe in Heaven, and many know so little they don't venture to think about the unknown.

Believers forget their eternal future. Or, they at least take it for granted. Rarely, almost never, do we hear others conjecturing about Heaven. Yet, we are told it is important to keep our life's goals in sight. I suspect many barely believe in Heaven, and many know so little they don't venture to think about the unknown.

We know scripture tells much and implies more. Those who have died, visited, and returned, can tell us what they remember. I find it wise to notice what is most common in various witness reports.

Heaven is our eternal home in the presence of God, what is termed the Beatific Vision. All light emanates from the throne of God himself. God is Light. God is Love. “Be holy for I am Holy,” says the Lord. “Without holiness, no one can see the Lord.” The Father does not stand in the presence of sin.

We are in the eternal Heaven for one reason. Jesus the Messiah gave himself as the divine sacrifice of perfect love for the sins of mankind, for all those who believe in him. Or, innocents who died as blood martyrs, I might add, for instance aborted babies. Or, innocent persons, the Epistle to Romans implies, without sin, those determined by God. Otherwise, unrepentant sin against the Creator is the reason for condemnation to hell. I know one thing, those who rebel against the Creator, freely choose hell.

In Heaven, you are not a nameless or an ambiguous spirit. You keep your personal identity. Jesus, Moses, and Elijah appeared together on the mountain of the Transfiguration. Jesus appeared several times after his Resurrection, and believers always related to him. In Heaven you recognize your family, your relatives, your friends, likely anyone, according to visionaries.
 
People will be in their perfect glorified bodies, no disabilities, no eyeglasses. I believe Jesus will be the first to greet and welcome us. I told my wife I will then dance joyfully with her in a great field of flowers at the foot of a magnificent mountain range, no longer with my disabled foot. I've seen this in my dreams many times.

Glorified bodies in heart, body, mind, and spirit! We will not be just blobs of invisible spiritual cloud floating around. Think of Jesus as he appeared to the apostles in the upper room and ate with them. He was in his glorified, risen body. The only wounds in Heaven will be his, our license to the Presence the Ancient of Days. In our glorified bodies, heart, mind, body, and spirit, we will truly function. How will God use us in Paradise?

Just conjecturing. Since we keep our identity and person-hood, might he not use us in goodly ways he used us on earth? The use of singers, musicians, teachers, might be easy to perceive. But what about writers, builders, cooks, artists, painters? Maybe, some of us will need retraining! I know one thing for certain. God has no problem. He said he has a place for you, already prepared.


God is Mighty on you!
Whatever you need:
Ask, and you shall receive.
Seek, and you shall find.
Knock, and the door shall be opened
to you.

Heavenly Blessings,
Bill Hunt

Vision in the night. Angel or demon? Clearly seen, tall through the ceiling, at foot of my bed. Total Pax. Could be an angel. Then, I saw the beard and his dark wavy hair, no it's him. In mystical light like a haze, He held two great broad swords in big strong hands pointed east and west. The giant swords shone in the room's real light. “He is here,” announced a voice. “I am here,” said the Warrior King who stood so tall. His spiritual gown of many folds waved softly. Very still, he stood in majesty, but full of Life and Presence. His mighty Protection powered over my wife and me. “Now I know he's coming,” I said, and turned over in peace. I glanced back. He stood there, mighty. I cannot otherwise account or explain this. 2-15-2014

God's Wedding Invitation—Mary Hunt


Are you now ready for Heaven's Wedding Feast?

Wedding at Cana by Mattia Preti, 1655
 

Gather my people, tell them to come.

Gather my people, I've sent my Son.

Tell them I love them, tell them I'm real.

I wait to touch them, I long to heal,

Everyone. Tell them, Come!


Would you miss heaven? Would you want hell?

Gather my people, you have to tell.

Tell them I love them, tell them I'm here.

Gather my people, I'll take their fear,

Everyone. Tell them, Come!


The feast is ready, the day is here.

Gather my people, tell them I'm near.

I stand at the door, the door of their hearts.

Knocking this hour, coming in power,

Everyone. Tell them, I come.

– Mary Hunt © 2012


"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 'Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
"So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
"But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
"So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
"Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
"For many are called, but few are chosen"
(Matt 22: 8-14 NKJV).

Ransom of the Rams


Watching my Rams in Nature, I realize God is teaching me.

"The Two Rams in the Field" by Bill Hunt c 2011
 
The World is cruel to Jesus, the most loving
and true man who ever lived.
Those in darkness always hate the light.
Man is born in such rebellion of sin.
So only by Love,
I am bought, paid for, ransomed, and redeemed by the Blood of Jesus.

I watched the Rams spend long years in the fields with each other as brothers. They grazed in the grass and lay in the shade of hot days. They sheltered in the hutch at night or when the weather turned inclement.

One day, two men came, orchestrated by God.
They paid the ransom for the Rams.
They caught them and took them away to a new home.
There is a herd, a ram family, lots of friends,
field, water, and good shepherds.

I see God loves my Rams.
They go to a far, far better place.

Jesus is my Shepherd.
He takes me to a far, far better place.
Though I am a sinful man,
God forgives perfectly, and God forgets perfectly.
I lift my eyes to him.
God loves perfectly.
That's why he sent his Son.

The angels come suddenly one day without warning
and take us away
to a far, far better place.
To Jesus the King, with wounds in his hands and feet.
This is the cost paid for our ransom
from sin.

The King of the Universe ransoms me.

He is the kinsman redeemer for the family of God.
He takes me to his Father,
the Ancient of Days,
the Alpha, the Omega,
the Great I AM, ONE.

I was slandered. I was reviled like him
by those with wicked hearts.
Women, with cold iron who connived evil.
Men, with extinct hearts and blind eyes and deaf ears.
No love, honesty, integrity, or truth lay
within their chests. Only darkness.
But God called me, his Witness.

“Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do.”

Through the years, through history, daily, over and over and over again.

The Good Shepherd came and found me.
He breathed life with the Ruha into my bones,
into my spirit, and raised me up.
“You are my Prince,” he said.

He raised me up and dressed me as a Warrior King
with a battle crown.
“You are my coheir,” he said.
“With rank of king, authority, power, and rule.
Except these wounds.
These are mine alone.”

I fell on my face before him.
I found my self in Great Light at his Father's throne.
With all my being, I cried,
GLORY!

Ticket to Heaven, Forgive!


But the world, the flesh, and the devil don't forgive sins and they don't forget sins. In this, there is real danger.


“Every heart needs godly repentance, forgiveness,
and love. It's the narrow road we seek....”


“God forgives perfectly and God forgets perfectly.” I like to tell this to my friends who confess they are bothered by the guilt of past sins. But the world, the flesh, and the devil don't forgive sins and they don't forget sins. In this, there is real danger.

Daily, we see politicians, the establishment, the world, the media, government, business, even the church, seek out the sins or alleged sins of a target to proclaim--for excitement, sexual intrigue, or character assassination. No matter, how true or false. No matter the details. No matter how deep in the past. No matter how previously resolved, or forgiven, or paid for. No matter the consequences.

It's too easy a task to condemn others!

For there is none sinless. No, not one. And it's just as much fun to go into a feeding frenzy over someone else's sins, be they true or totally contrived.

“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and and the truth is not in us,” says John the Apostle (1 John 1:8 NIV). Have you ever met some goodly persons who claim to be without sin? There's nothing more nauseating.

God has a reply for the contrite.

“I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite” (Isaiah 57:15 NIV).

Jesus told us about the tax collector who prayed beating his breast, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner” (Luke 18:13 NIV).

Forgiveness demands repentance.

Think of the repentance of King David, (politician) who committed adultery and murder, (2 Sam 12); the sinful woman (unwed mother) who washed and kissed the feet of Jesus in repentance (Luke 7); the woman (harlot) taken in adultery, about to be stoned (John 8); the last minute thief (criminal) on the cross who accepted Jesus (Luke 23).

Think of the denial of Peter (church leader) (Matt 26); of Paul (evangelist), guilty for the persecution, arrest, and death of the early Christians (Acts 8:3, ch 9, 22:4, 26:10). All these are forgiven.

Those who accuse falsely or even seek out the resolved sins of others are guilty of slander. People create their own slander, and they believe their own slander they create.

God has a reply for slander.

“Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor 6:9-10 NIV).

Jesus warns us to forgive.

Jesus wants us to look on others with the same love as he looks on us. The same love, that we want for ourselves.

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matt 6:14-15 NIV).

It is a serious mistake with eternal consequences not to forgive others with the love of Jesus. There's no one in Heaven who bears a grudge!

High Speed Train to Somewhere


“High Speed Train” gives a choice in life. Each passenger is free to purchase his or her own ticket. But oh, what a choice! More than 150,000 people face death each day.

"Each passenger is free to purchase his or her own ticket."
(Photo by Bobby Mikul, PDPics.)


There’s a high speed train to somewhere.
And a high speed train to nowhere.
And the ticket paid so costly
can’t beat the ticket Free.

Cause the working world’s forsaken,
but the gift is given clear.
For the flesh is overtaken,
and the real price is dear.

The conductor on one side is pale.
His face frowns in the mist.
The other one is smiling, a
fresh grin along the way.

Yes, there’s a high speed train to somewhere,
and a high speed train to nowhere.
One conductor’s doom and gloom.
The other looks so right!
One ticket’s very costly.
The other’s free on sight.

That conductor hands the greetings!
He’s paid for every friend.
All the world’s invited!
But few have turned to him.
To doubt his truth are thoughts
that bind—
Most folks just wait, no life in line.

One train is overcrowded,
standing room door to door,
swaying on the iron rails,
it’s rocking more and more.

The second is streamlined spacious
with a gourmet dining car.
There’s sleeping berths a plenty,
the train is going far.

There’s a high speed train to somewhere,
and a high speed train to nowhere.
There’s a ticket freely given
on the railroad car through life.
Too many pass it by with
hearts cased in strife.

It’s time to stop, to look, to listen!
It’s time to hear the Bell.
There’s a high speed train to Heaven.
And a high speed train to Hell!
