Have you or Anyone in your Church Seen Heaven? I Want to Experience Heaven in Earth
“The seven angels showed me the great city, Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God – Rev 21:9-10 (NKJV)”
Pastor Jacob George and his church members once told me that this earthly life is only for a short while. But the heavenly eternal life is permanent. So one should strive and accumulate wealth for eternal heavenly life and not for this earthly life. I could not accept this. The Pastor and his church members were terribly shocked when I asked them on their face “Have you seen the Heaven? Or has any one in your church? Look here, I am not interested in heaven which neither you nor anyone of you have seen. Whether there exists any hell or heaven or not, I am not interested. Plenty of stories regarding heaven and hell are there in Hindu scriptures.
Even if it existed, I am least interested as to what is going to happen or where I will be going after my death. I am in blood and flesh now. I am interested about this present earthly life. My son is struggling for his life now. Can your God heal my son? I am interested only in that. I cannot think of heaven when I am in hell here watching my son sinking every minute. I want to see heaven here, in this earthly life. They were silent for a minute. Then they told with conviction, “Receive Jesus, wash your sins with His precious blood. You will experience heaven in this earthly life itself.” They prayed for me and went off.
After coming to Christ and became strong in Him, I could understand the difference between the ugliness, uncleanness, stink and the burden of the sinful life and the fragrance, cleanliness, beauty and importance of purity, holiness and sanctification in life and decided and determined to live a holy life hereafter. Having tasted the purity of being holy, now I cannot do any sin even if any one gives me millions and millions of dollars. I will not touch them even in my mind. The greatest, biggest and wonderful grace and blessings what Christ has given me is that. CHRIST HAS MADE ME HOLY! Jesus is holy. He lived a holy life and showed me the way for the holy life. Not only to me, but to every one who comes to Him. He transforms our lives to become like HIM. In that holiness, I am able to experience the sweetness, beauty, peace, joy, stillness, elegance, esteem, fragrance and the eternal bliss of the heaven in this earthly life itself. HEAVEN IN EARTH! Thank you for making me holy and blessing me the heavenly abode in this earthly life.
