The End of the World: Birth of a Forever Heaven
Introduction: In a world filled with struggles, trials, and uncertainties, the concept of the end of the world can be a daunting and dreary subject. However, as Pastor Manny passionately expresses, for those who believe in Jesus Christ, the end of the world is not a cause for despair but a confirmation that God is the ultimate champion in control of everything. In this blog, we will delve into the profound message shared by Pastor Manny, exploring the hope and joy found in the belief in KING Jesus and the promise of a forever heaven.
Facing the Horrors of the End: Pastor Manny acknowledges that for some, the end of the world may be perceived as torturous and horrible. The world is filled with political unrest, wars, famine, desolation, and various struggles. Yet, for believers, the perspective changes, as they find solace in the fact that they serve a victorious God who has conquered all the troubles of the world.
A Reminder in Times of Struggle: There is emphasis on the importance of viewing life's hardships as reminders of the belief in KING Jesus. In moments of loss and struggle, the faith in Jesus becomes a source of strength. Pastor Manny encourages readers to engage with these words as a reminder that, despite the challenges, believers are more than conquerors through their faith.
The Birth of a Forever Heaven: The central theme revolves around the idea that the end of the world is not an endpoint but the beginning of heaven. The blog invites readers to reflect on the concept of heaven, a place often imagined as distant and ethereal. the Bible paints a vivid picture of a day when heaven transitions from being a distant celestial place to a tangible reality, a place where believers will inhabit and experience the fullness of God.
The Prayer for Full Knowledge: Drawing from Colossians 1:9-14, it’s a powerful prayer for believers. The prayer seeks the filling of believers with the knowledge of God's will, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. The blog discusses the limitations imposed by sin and separation, highlighting the future hope when these limitations will no longer hinder the full experience of God's presence.
The Lifted Curse and Amplified Worship: Revelation 22:3 promises the lifting of the curse, signifying the removal of sin, pain, and tears. We explore the implications of a curse-free existence, where believers will worship without hindrance. The anticipation is that worship, already profound in the present, will reach new heights when believers are no longer bound by the limitations of the curse.
From Minutes to Moments: The concept of time in heaven is discussed, emphasizing that while there will still be a sense of time, the focus will shift from minutes to moments. Believers will be constantly filled with the fullness of God, experiencing growth, and bearing fruit in every good work without the hindrance of the curse.
The End of Self-Sustenance: The blog touches on the human tendency to rely on self for provision and sustenance. In heaven, the curse-free existence means believers will fully rely on God for sustenance and provision. The imagery of God being the ultimate source of light, replacing the need for lamps and the sun, reinforces the complete dependence on the Creator.
Conclusion: As the blog concludes, readers are left with a powerful message of hope and anticipation for the day when the end of the world will usher in the birth of a forever heaven. The promise of a curse-free existence, amplified worship, and constant communion with God paints a captivating picture of the eternal joy awaiting believers. Pastor Manny's words serve as a call to embrace this hope and to reflect on the question: Is Jesus your key to the eternal joy of heaven?
