From the moment you were born you've been on a quest -- you've been searching. You've been looking for God, and God has been searching for you. Perhaps you thought a possession would do it for ya, or a certain job, or a nice house, or a fast car, or a passionate relationship, or perhaps you thought a religion would do it. Hey Sport, you've been lookin' for God.

And He's been compassionately looking for you too (knowin' exactly where you are.. and knowin' all you've been through). 

You've been looking for a relationship with the Lord (maybe unknowingly searching). Yes, a lasting love and home of love with unending life. 

Many people have been lookin’ for heaven on earth. True. 

They have a longing inside for heaven... to have that nagging empty void inside ..totally filled. 

They have a longing for Home.. I'm talking about for heaven where they can be happy and really feel at home.

Heaven is beyond words. The Bible says that God has set eternity in our hearts. Have you been homesick for heaven lately? 

God makes all things new. No more old, painful, diseased or lame! 

God is alive and is madly in love with you. Yup, loves you so much He just can’t take His eyes off of ya! He loved you all the way to Calvary’s cross and a barrowed tomb. Still loves you today as much as He loves His own sinless Son, Jesus. 

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.“ John 3:14-18

Heaven is beyond words to describe. Did you know that Heaven is mentioned 532 times in the Bible, and more than 10% of those mentions are in Revelation. It's true. Did you know God loves new too! He said, “Behold, I make all things new.” After the millennial reign of Christ, we enter into “eternal timelessness.”

In this New Earth, we will have a new city. The New Earth and New Jerusalem are prepared places for prepared people. Jerusalem is the nerve center of the world geographically. The salvation center of the world spiritually. The storm center of the world prophetically.

• Jerusalem is the city of the past.
• Jerusalem is the city of the present.
• Jerusalem is the city of the future.

Home in Heaven will come down to earth! There’ll be a rapture up into the 3rd heaven (beyond the blue sky and 2nd one.. space). There is real place called Heaven -- it’s a place of real love where you and I will feel right at home. More so than here even. Anywhere here on earth. No more awkward, or pain, or tears of sorrow. Heaven will come down to earth and both will become one and we can be there with Jesus. You were meant to have an unending relationship with God the Father through Him. fish4souls.org .. Photo by Nathan Fertig

Prayerfully meditate upon...

Revelation 21 Revelation 21:1–6 2 Corinthians 12:4 Revelation 21:5 Zechariah 12:2–3 Revelation 21:6 Ecclesiastes 3:15 1 Corinthians 15:52–54 Psalm 90:4 Galatians 4:4 2 Peter 3:9 Revelation 21:1 Revelation 21:3 1 John 3:2 Revelation 21:2 John 14:2–3 1 Corinthians 2:9

Jesus said no man having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven. But that doesn’t mean we must be bored or passive..or that there is always trials everyday, or suffering, or hard things to overcome. 

We want to walk with our Lord where He leads us. Being in the will of God is a blessing -- it’s the best sport for each of us even while working hard. Good idea -- advance with Him, no returning to live for self as Lord or for this corrupt world-system. 

So we can’t look back, why do it. That’d be lame.
