IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL - Revelation 21:1 - 22:5

He came to our place so we could go to his place. He came down so we could go up. He became our substitute so that we could become his representatives. Who's glad about that? This residence has been looked forward to before. Hebrews 11, the heroes of faith. There's three verses in this chapter that are just amazing talking about Abraham. Verse 10 says, he was looking for the city which has foundations whose builder and maker is God. That was the ultimate driving force in Abraham's life. [00:31:45] (39 seconds)  #SeekingGodsCity

So what in the world is going on in your life? Why these trials and tribulations? The lord is preparing us for our eternal home so that it won't become earth too. Right? We'll still have freedom of choice. We won't be robots or automatons or or live in some sort of Tron era. No. We will be real beings with real personalities that are being transformed by the lord. And he needs to hurry up on some things with me because I am getting older. [00:21:20] (35 seconds)  #TransformedForEternity

This dwelling place will be alive with pain free joy. Who's ready for some pain free joy? No more sickness. No more sorrow. No more tears. The bulletin has on the cover one of these verses. And god will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there should be no more death nor sorrow nor crying. There should be no more pain. No more viruses, man made or otherwise. No more colds. No more fevers. No more allergies. [00:17:20] (39 seconds)  #PainFreeJoy

You make Christ the center of your life. There's no worry whether or not you're in the book of life. So the key isn't put me in the book. Put me in the book. Put me in the book. No. The key is Jesus be the center of my life today. Give him your life daily. And it involves three things. It involves his word, and it involves worship, his principles, and his presence, and it involves his people. Yes. [00:43:21] (30 seconds)  #ChristCenteredLife

They are inserting things in the text. It doesn't say that. And when the flood of Noah happened, that was judgment on the earth, and Noah came back to a renewed earth when he exited the ark. The earth had been cleansed by the flood. And then the sign of the rainbow was given, which says, as the Negro spiritual says, no more water or fire next time. So I choose to believe what the text says. [00:12:26] (30 seconds)  #FloodAndPromise

There's no temple here because he is the temple. What is the temple? What is a church building per se? These these are instruments of approaching god. He doesn't dwell in buildings made with hands, but they're instruments of approaching god. Well, there, we no longer will need an instrument to approach god. We'll be with god. Right? No more pastors. We'll be with the chief pastor. We'll be with god himself. [00:16:47] (33 seconds)  #GodIsOurTemple

One of the highly respected pastors says, the renewed earth is kinda like firing up your grill and getting it so hot that it cooks all the impurities off the grill. Who likes to eat off a grill with impurities on it? No. Don't raise your hand when I ask questions too quick. No. I love to fire it up and get the wire brush going and no. This this kind of cleansing burns up the grill too. [00:11:19] (27 seconds)  #CleansedByFire

let no man deceive you with vain words because of these things cometh the wrath of god upon the children of disobedience. Don't let reverend Fuddy Duddy deceive you in the living a life of wickedness. Wicked people are not going there. I don't care. Maybe you repeated somebody's repeat after me sinner prayer, but what is proof of a born again life is fruit. The fruit of the spirit will know them by their fruits. What does scripture say?
