Seeing Beyond Our Eyes

King James Daily Bible Study Devotional Message Title: Seeing Beyond Our Eyes Date: Saturday September 17, 2011 Chapters: Daniel 7-9, Proverbs 17, Psalm 96 Highlight of Chapters: Daniel's vision of the four beasts, of the Kingdom of Christ, and of the ram and he goat, Daniel's prayer, and the revelation of the coming Messiah. Click Here to Read Them or Go to: http://imfollowingjesus.com/bible-september-17 Hello My Friend/Guest, “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand...But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.” - Matthew 13:10-13,16,17. The word vision is defined as the ability to perceive, to be aware of, with the eyes, it is easy to be aware of what we can actually see, but it gets a little harder to be aware of things we cannot. Jesus said, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” Whoever has the true grace of God implanted in them, meaning they believe in Christ although they have not see Him, have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in them, and a spiritual acquaintance with the doctrines of the Gospel. Those who see the vision of Christ, shall have more grace given to them, shall grow in the knowledge of Him, and the Spirit of truth shall lead them to see beyond what they perceive with their eyes. The visions we see beyond our eyes are often based on our current circumstances, whether good or bad things are happening, we tend to use that as a guide as to what our future would be like. The truth is, everything we go through does determine our future, but it is not at all based on the circumstances, rather it is based on how we handle the circumstances. Sometimes God has a peculiar way of getting people to see beyond their eyes, people tell me that God does not speak to you like He did when He spoke to people in the Bible, but I firmly believe whatever He did for them, He can do for us. That is all apart of seeing beyond our eyes. God often spoke to people in dreams, which is how He revealed several unusual visions to Daniel. The first was a dream about four beasts. “These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows...Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces...And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.” - Daniel 7:17-20,23,25,26. These visions were a foretelling of four nations that would be the most powerful in the world, the forth being the most powerful, known as Rome, in which many nations would derive from it. That horn represents the head of the most corrupt religion of all Christian based religions, the pope being the leader of it, that will turn people against the truth. Think I am exaggerating? Look at how many religions stem off of the Catholic religion, look at their worship to Mary, look at how they add to the laws of the Bible. It is only going to get worse. Jesus called it when He said, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves...And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” - Matthew 10:16,21,22. Out from the kingdoms of the last days a king of fierce countenance, the anti-Christ, will arise, and acting by the power of Satan, will bring transgression to the fullest. Though he will for a time prosper in his schemes, the sudden brightness of Christ’s coming will utterly destroy him. No sooner than Daniel comes to grips with the first vision here comes another one, this time it was about a ram that had two horns and goat with a horn between his eyes. “Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes...The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power...And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” - Daniel 8:3-5,20-22,25. When Christ returns it will literally be a war between good and evil, the Christ and the Anti-Christ, God and Satan, but in the end Satan knows where he is going, along with everyone of his followers. “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” - Revelation 20:10. While Satan has power in the world right now he does not have power over Jesus Christ and those who are saved by Him. He can still get to us from time to time, but our vision is far more credible than anything that Satan can cause havoc on our lives. Our vision is none other than the kingdom of God, one day, all who put their faith and trust in the Savior will see the kingdom of God. Until then, it is important that we see beyond our current circumstances as Christ would see them, after all, He is proof that all good things come to those who diligently seek Him. “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” - Psalm 37:1-5. Today's Prayer: Dear God, Lord, in the circumstances of life’s events, may we never lose sight of You. You are the unseen, but ever-present God, who protects, guides and tenderly comforts us in all our troubles. Thank You, Lord, that when change is constantly about us, You remain steadfast, faithful, and dependable. You are the Anchor that keeps us grounded in the unseen eternal truths that we build our lives upon. Keep us faithful and help us to always believe that nothing is possible when we diligently seek our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Knowing The Mystery Of God

King James Daily Bible Study Devotional Message Title: Knowing The Mystery Of God Date: Wednesday September 14, 2011 Chapters: Ezekiel 46-48, Proverbs 14, Psalm 93 Click Here to Read Them or Go to: http://imfollowingjesus.com/bible-september-14 Hello My Friend/Guest, “Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” - Ephesians 1:9-14. The Gospel, which is a mystery, a mystery only revealed to those who know Christ personally as their Savior, is the mystery of God and of Christ, the will of God and of His will in saving sinners by Christ. The Gospel declares that He does all things in salvation, according to His sovereign will and pleasure; He chooses, redeems, justifies, pardons, and calls whom He pleases; and this is made known by the ministry of the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit that is sealed in those who believe in the Gospel, the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Those who are sealed receive more than redemption through Christ, they receive an inheritance, a possession gained through His death, which is eternal life and a part of the Kingdom of Christ. One day Israel will acknowledge their dependence upon God in the kingdom age with many offerings according to a divine plan for that period, by which perfect fellowship may be maintained. God gave Ezekiel a vision of what was to come to the Jews who chose God, they would be given an inheritance, but it will not be forced upon them, it will be received upon all who wanted to receive it. Once they receive it it was theirs forever. “Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance. But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them. Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.” - Ezekiel 46:16-18. Every Jew who followed the prince received an inheritance from Him. This inheritance was not just promised to the Jews, but to all people of all nations whom have chosen to follow Him. Through Ezekiel, God confirms this. “And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions...And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.” - Ezekiel 47:9-13,22,23. Everyone who believes and accepts the Gospel receives an inheritance from God, we are blessed to have eternal life with Him and receive a part of the inheritance that the Jews will receive too. While we are not saved by our works, our works do help in receiving what our inheritance will be. “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” - Matthew 16:27,28. Sadly, many people think they are saved and will receive a part of God's inheritance, but this is not the case. Thr truth is, unless a person personally asks Jesus to save them they will not be saved. Remember, Jesus will not force anyone to receive His gift, but all who ask for the gift will receive it. “ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” - Romans 10:9,10. I understand that the last eight chapters of the Book of Ezekiel may have been a bit confusing, here he is talking about a future Temple with Jesus as the prince who would accept the sacrifices that are being offered for redemption. So, many of us might be wondering how can this be when Jesus was the sacrifice that saved all of us. Well, here is what I have learned, first, these visions were meant for Ezekiel to explain them to the Jews first, in which all they knew was how to give offerings to reconcile themselves with God. Second, all of these are a foreshadow of Christ dying on the cross and redeeming all who believe. Third, we are not meant to know all the mysteries of God all at once, God will reveal things a little at a time to us, the important thing to remember is that without Christ there is no redemption. “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:” - Ephesians 2:13-16. Today's Prayer: Dear God, Lord, help us to remain faithful in planting Your seed of salvation to those who have not yet received Your Son, to those who have not yet confessed with their tongue that I am trusting only in Jesus Christ to save me and take me to heaven. Whenever we open our mouths, may the words be given to us so that we will fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel to those who have not yet heard. We thank You for those who presently come alongside us in our mission and for those who will join us further along in our journey as they also reach out to those whom are in need of salvation. We pray for our combined labors that unbelievers will open their hearts to receive the Gospel and the promised inheritance waiting for them. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

God Is With You

King James Daily Bible Study Devotional Message Title: God Is With You Date: Tuesday September 13, 2011 Chapters: Ezekiel 43-45, Proverbs 13, Psalm 92 Click Here to Read Them or Go to: http://imfollowingjesus.com/bible-september-13 Hello My Friend/Guest, “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life...Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” - II Corinthians 3:3-6,17,18. True ministers of Christ are His instruments, for He is the author of all the good that is in them, His love for others, His love for the lost, and His likeness are revealed in them through the Holy Spirit that indwells them. They are ministers, not merely of the letter to read the written Word or to preach the letter of the Gospel only, but ministers of the Spirit also. The law of Christ is written in their hearts, it is not written in tables of stone, as the law of God given to Moses, but on the fleshy tables of the heart. Those who yield to the working of the Holy Spirit may be made more and more into the image of Christ. It is only when we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us that we will see the glory of the Lord and others see His glory shine even more through us. Okay, so what is the glory of the Lord? The word glory means, something of great importance, honor, beauty, and or to boast about. In other words, the glory of the Lord means to honor God by recognizing the importance of Him being in and working in our lives. The more we allow God to work through us, the more we are blessed. The more we are blessed, the more we boast about Him, the more we boast about Him, the more beautiful He looks to others as God's glory shines through us. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” - II Corinthians 4:6. Before Jesus ascended up to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in His belivers, God's presence did not dwell in anyone, but over a Tabernacle or Temple. In a vision, Ezekiel had witnessed the departure of the glory of the Lord from the magnificent, but now destroyed, Temple in Jerusalem. Ezekiel saw a new Temple being built and God coming in by the very way through which He had departed from the old Temple, the Eastern Gate, which led straight to the Temple entrance of the eternal King. “Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.” - Ezekiel 43:1-5. The physical Temple had foreshadowed the life and ministry of Christ. In the millennium there will be no need for types or symbols because God the Father and Jesus Christ, whom the symbols represented, will be present. Our concern should not be how and when the prophecies will be fulfilled, but that our body, mind, and spirit be prepared for His return. “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.” - II Timothy 2:20,21. Ezekiel's vision also foreseen Jesus as the prince who would be in charge of the new Temple, “Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.” - Ezekiel 44:1-3. Jesus will be sent to restore Israel. “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” - Acts 5:31,32. Today, all who call on Christ as their Savior are witnesses, through the Holy Spirit that indwells in them. God is always with you, so, let all the burdens, guilt, or shame go and give it all to Him. Never stop allowing God to work in you, He is the key to all the blessings in our lives, even the struggles. The more we allow the glory of the Lord to work in us the easier we will be able to handle future struggles as well as see the blessings through all of them. More importantly we have the amazing Christ in us to strengthen us, guide us, and lead others to the glory of the Lord as well, which is the most important thin we can do for someone who is not saved. “For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” - Psalm 84:11. Today's Prayer: Dear God, Lord, we cannot remain neutral, but must stand for that which is good or we will fall for that which is evil. Help us, as believers, to cling to that which is good even when it comes as a great sacrifice. With the aid of Your Holy Spirit dwelling in an guiding us, we will be able to overcome every situation that comes our way. We look to You alone, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved that Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name. Amen.

New Jerusalem

King James Daily Bible Study Devotional Message Title: New Jerusalem Date: Monday September 12, 2011 Chapters: Ezekiel 40-42, Proverbs 12, Psalm 91 Click Here to Read Them or Go to: http://imfollowingjesus.com/bible-september-12 Hello My Friend/Guest, “And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel...After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” - Revelation 7:1-4,9,10. When Jesus returns, and the tribulation ends, He is going to establish His kingdom on the very throne where David sat, a remnant of both Jews and Gentiles of all nations joining together, chosen by God Himself, to live forever in a sin free, pain free, glorious kingdom in New Jerusalem. This remnant are none other than those who accepted the Lord Jesus Christ personally as their Savior. They will be clothed with the robes of pureness, justification, holiness, and victory; with palms in their hands, as conquerors appearing before their triumphs. Such a glorious appearance will the faithful servants of God make at last, when they have fought the good fight of faith, and finished their course. With a loud voice they shout praises to God and the Lamb of salvation; the Father planned this salvation, the Son purchased it, and those who enjoy it must and will bless the Lord and the Lamb, who without His shed blood there would be no remission. Twenty five years after the Jew were taken captive in Babylon, Ezekiel received a vision from God about a glorious city that was to be built. This was no ordinary city, this was the glorious city in which Jesus Christ would reign, and within this city was the temple, far more magnificent than the temple built by Solomon. The measurements of the grounds and the many details concerning the building and its unusual architectural design are recorded, but no instructions are given to Ezekiel regarding who would build it or when it would be built unlike Moses and David got when the Tabernacle and Temple were to be built. “In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel...And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;..And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering. And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.” -Ezekiel 40:1-4, 35,38,39. Christ, who knew no sin, was made sin for His people; having all their sins laid upon Him. These tables are a reflection of the sacrifice Christ made when He was slain as the burnt, sin, and trespass offerings needed to be reconciled with God. This is not to be a place for actual sacrifices as was Solomon's temple, but is for a commemoration of the sacrifice that Christ made for us. “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” - Luke 22:19,20. After God showed Ezekiel the two inner courts He took him inside the temple, where the most Holy place in the temple would be. The most Holy place in the Temple is the innermost room where the visible manifestation of God's presence dwelt. “Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.” - Ezekiel 41:1-3. This was an emblem of the most holy and perfect state of the church on earth; it represents the New Jerusalem church state, that holy city, and into which nothing shall enter that defiles. Only those whom have applied the blood of Christ upon their soul are washed clean from anything that defiled them. While animal sacrifices only masked the sin, Christ's sacrifice washes away the sin that defiled the soul forever, making the believer capable of entering the holy city. “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” - Revelation 1:5. Until Jesus Christ returns every person who believes in and accepts Him personally as their Savior is God's Holy Place, His temple. Since we were saved, not of the will of the flesh, but of the will of God, we are free from Satan's control and have become the Lord's holy dwelling place in the form of the Holy Spirit.“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” - I Corinthians 3:16,17. Let us praise the Lord for His indwelling Holy Spirit and enjoy that sacred privilege committed to our trust. God has great vision for all of His children, we get to enjoy eternal life with Him in not only in the Kingdom of God, but New Jerusalem too. “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” - John 20:31. Today's Prayer: Dear God, Lord, how glorious it is to enjoy freedom from sin, thanks to the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, on my behalf. My life, once enslaved to sin, now enjoys the freedom from that which once held me captive to Satan’s bondage. Let me keep serving You with love and thanksgiving, looking forward to that blessed day when I get to live with You in the Kingdom of God and later in the new holy place to come. I love You Lord and pray in Jesus' name. Amen. God Bless You, I am praying for you, Christina Are You 100% Sure That You Are Going To Heaven?
