 "I
MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!"
In this wonderful Heavenly Millennium, his overcomers
shall "inherit
all things!"--And
"who
is he that overcomes the World? He that believes that Jesus is the Son
of God. For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the World: and this
is the victory that overcomes the World, even our faith."
(1Jn.5:5,4.)
The Lord loves faith
and He loves His faithful children and He is going to reward
them greatly! You'll inherit all things, anything you ever
wanted or ever desired!--For it is God's delight to give us the desires
of our own hearts, if we love Him and delight ourselves in Him! He
says,
"Delight
yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your
heart." (Ps.37:4.) And Jesus told us to "fear
not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you
the Kingdom!" (Lk.12:32.)
 SUPERNATURAL
RESURRECTION BODIES
But I don't think you could possibly realise or appreciate what Heaven
will be like or what He has in store for you There, unless you
first know what YOU're going to be like! If you've read
about "the Second Coming of Jesus", then you already know that we, His
children, will be resurrected and raptured in our new
supernatural, eternal resurrection-bodies when Jesus comes
to temporarily take His Bride off the Earth at the end of the Great
Tribulation period. He's going to come down in glory and we're going
to rise in glorious, resurrected, Heavenly, raptured bodies--just
like His!
"For
we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the Last Trump: for the Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed! For this corruptible (our
present bodies) must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall
have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed
up in victory!" (1Co.15:51-54.)
 WHAT
WE WILL BE LIKE THEN
"Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for
we shall see Him as He is!"
(1Jn.3:2.)
 We're
going to see Jesus and He's going to see us and we're going to look alike!
That doesn't mean that we're all going to look just exactly like Jesus
or like each other, but it means that we're
going to have the same kind of bodies,
the kind of body that He has now and has had ever since His Resurrection,
the one which He went to Heaven in and came back and visited in and still
has today.
We will have a supernatural, miraculous, resurrected form of flesh
and spirit combined, a new supernatural body which will have
remarkable supernatural powers just as Jesus did when He was resurrected.
And although this marvellous flesh of the future will in some ways
be vastly
different and more powerful and more glorious
than our present Earthly models, and will be able
to fly and dematerialise and disappear and walk through
locked doors and solid walls,
etc., as Jesus did, in some ways it will be very similar to the bodies
we have today.
When Jesus came
back from the dead, He still looked like himself, still felt like himself,
could still eat, drink, and even cook and love and be loved! He said,
"Touch Me! Feel Me! See that it is I! A
spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see Me have!"
(Lk.24:39.) Then He sat down and ate with them! And if you ask me, that's
pretty human, pretty natural! He said to Thomas, "Thrust
thy hand into My side and see, and touch the nail prints in My hands,
and be not faithless, but believing!" (Jn.20:27.)--He still
even had the scars!
So Jesus was
still "human" and still had a body of flesh and bone!--And
we will be the same! Because "He shall change
our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body!"
(Ph.3:21.) We are going to have a
new kind of spiritual, resurrection, marvellous, eternal, glorified body,
and yet it's going to be material enough and natural enough
and recognisable enough, and seeable and  feelable
and enjoyable enough to actually be constructed as we are now,
of flesh and bones, but eternal
flesh and bones,
incorruptible, immortal flesh and bones.--Flesh and bones!
Think of it! And that kind of marvellous, glorified, Heavenly flesh
is going to be able to enjoy all the pleasures that our
flesh enjoys here and now!

PLEASURES--

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BUT YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO!
After all, if Heaven's going to be Heaven, we'd certainly have
to have some of these Heavenly pleasures that we now enjoy!
That's why Jesus was able to eat and drink and walk
and talk and look just like He had before! Isn't that
cool?--And so will you! Of course, you won't have to eat,
but you
can if you want to!
You won't have to lie down and rest, but you can if you want
to! You won't have to have sex any more, but you
can if you want to!
You won't have to walk around any more, but
you can if you want to!
And you'll even be able to do a lot of other things that you can't
do now! You'll be able to fly, appear, disappear, walk through walls,
all kinds of things!--Wonderful!
HEAVEN
AN AMPLIFICATION OF EARTHLY LIFE!
In
fact, I'm convinced that Heaven will be an eternal continuation
of what you and I who love Jesus already have right here and now in our
hearts. We are already enjoying a little foretaste of Heaven with
all of the love and sharing and sweetness and light and joy and praise
and song and communion with the Lord and each other that we have right
now!
We have a little bit
of Heaven already--Heavenly hearts, Heavenly homes, Heavenly loved
ones, Heavenly work to do for the Lord, bringing the Heaven of his love
to others! So we're already having a Heaven of a wonderful time even right
here on Earth! God's Word tells us that this is just the earnest
of our inheritance (Eph.1:14), just a little sample, just a little
bit of Heaven with His Love and His Spirit and each other and His wonderful
work.
So if this is just a sample, think of what the real full Heaven
will be like!
Jesus said, "I
am come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly!"
(Jn.10:10.) He wants His children to be happy and to enjoy
life to the fullest, even here and now!--"An
hundredfold in this life, and in the World to come life eternal!"
(Mk.10:30.)--Heaven on Earth and Heaven hereafter! And through
His liberating, life-giving "Law of Love", to love Him with all our hearts
and our neighbours as ourselves (Mt.22:37-39), we
are free to enjoy total love, life and liberty
in the Lord--providing that whatever we do is in love.
GOD
CREATED LIFE AND LOVE!
 Therefore,
contrary to the so-called "holiness" religions which seem
to think and teach that it is sinful to enjoy anything and a sin
to be happy and that sainthood consists of suffering, pain,
self-torture, self-denial and self-crucifixion, we have found that
God
loves life and created it for us to love and enjoy too!
Of course there are times when, for the Love of God and others, we may
have to "deny ourselves" and "lay down our lives for the brethren" (Lk.9:23;
1Jn.3:16) proving that we love Him and others more than ourselves.--But
this doesn't mean we're not supposed to love and enjoy the life He's given
us!
The simple pleasures
and joys of life were created by God for us to enjoy! He
even tells us that "all things are yours"
in Christ Jesus (1Co.3:21), "to the pure,
all things are pure" (Tit.1:15), and
"all things are lawful" (1Co.6:12) unto those
who are motivated by love, "for against such love,
there is no law!" (Ga.5:22,23.)
GOD
CREATED PLEASURES!
After
all, it was God who created the very nerves which feel
good and the very senses which feel pleasant, to look
upon things which are pleasant to the eye, to taste things which
are delicious, to hear beautiful music, to feel pleasurable
sensations of touch, and to even smell the lovely fragrance
of a flower or of delicious food cooking.
So although I don't know just exactly what it's going to be like in Heaven,
I know it's going to be better than it is today, a beautiful Heavenly
Heaven-on-Earth without sin, without wickedness, without trouble, without
weariness, pain, sickness or problems. We're going to have wonderful
new bodies, new models, and will be able to enjoy this World to the
full as we never enjoyed it before!--Well, we've enjoyed it quite a bit,
but we'll enjoy it even more than ever!
That's what Heaven
will be like!--it will be like the life we who know Jesus live now, but
without most of the bad things, just the good things. We enjoy a little
Heaven already, Heaven-on-Earth in our hearts and in our Homes and in
our families and in our lives. But we still have a little trouble with
that Ol' Boy the Devil and his crowd!
So I am convinced that
if Heaven is Heaven at all, it's going to be like this life, only
better!--Like this life with all of its joys and beauties
and pleasures, but without the drawbacks!--All the assets, without
the liabilities! We're going to have all the same wonderful roses we enjoy
today, only without the thorns!--All
roses and no thorns!
Wouldn't you just love to enjoy all that we have right now without any
pain, sickness, death, curse, weariness or any of those things? We have
never yet really been able to enjoy it to the full, because we've still
got sin in the World and all of its results.
But in Heaven we can
enjoy all the thrills and wonders and things we enjoy on earth
here and now! I think it would be kind of silly for God to just abandon
all the wonderful things He made for us in this life! God didn't create
all this just to abandon it, all these pleasures and these bodies!--But
everything in Heaven is just going to be more so! We're going to
have all this and even more!
.
SEX IN HEAVEN? HUH?
 Of
course, the church in general is horrified at the mere suggestion
that there's going to be sex in Heaven! "Uhhhh! That horrible
wicked sin and iniquity is going to be done away with!" It shows you
what they think about sex, that it's wicked and sinful and
bad, and therefore, of course, it could have no place in Heaven! Well,
thank God our eyes are opened and we know that sex
is God's Own marvellous Creation and gift for us
to enjoy to the full!
Why should the
Lord create anything as wonderful, as thrilling, as exciting,
as pleasurable, as ecstatic and as marvellous as
sex for this world only, and then abandon it in the next?! You
say, "Oh, but it says they won't be married or given in marriage any more,
but will be as the angels of God!" (Mt.22:30.)--Yes!--Man's
private little selfish marriages and his system of marriage shall be abolished
and we'll be free to enjoy each other and have sex with each other all
together, all of us, with anyone we desire who is willing!
Marriage shall be abolished
then and we shall be like the angels of God, who when they saw
that the daughters of men were very fair, came down and had intercourse
with them! And as a result there were giants in the land! The daughters
of men gave birth to the children of angels, who became giants, mighty
men! (Ge.6:4.)
So if the angels
can enjoy sex, certainly we who will go on to that world will too!--In
our new, miraculous, supernatural, resurrected, raptured bodies!
Remember, your Heavenly body is going to be an awful lot like the one
you have now, only better! And if you enjoy its pleasures now,
think how marvellous it's going to be then when your body is supernatural,
really super, with more power and more beauty and more grace and
greater thrills and more marvellous exciting experiences and love than
ever!--All the pleasures of this life, and Heaven too!
Heaven will be just
like an amplification or a magnification of all the thrills
and joys and pleasures of this life, the Heaven on Earth that we're now
enjoying, only it will be even more Heavenly there and forever,
praise God! There'll be all the wonderful, beautiful things you enjoy
now right here on Earth, including beautiful people, beautiful
men and women, beautiful youth, beautiful music,
even beautiful sex and love!--Think of that! All
the things you love and enjoy here on Earth you're going
to have in Heaven forever!--Isn't that wonderful?
HEAVEN
IS A REAL FUN PLACE TO BE! --"COOL BABY!"
So if you've been having fun down here, think how much more fun
you're going to have up there when we're totally free and
completely and utterly joyous in the Lord and the love of
each other! Jesus' Own classic illustration of the return of the Prodigal
Son to the Father's House is not only an illustration of
the return of the backslider, but of our own final return to Him in Heaven,
where there is going to be singing and rejoicing and music
and dancing and love-making for the glory of God forever!
(See Lk.15:22-24.)
"How
excellent is thy lovingkindness, o God! Therefore the children of men
put their trust under the shadow of Thy wings. They shall be abundantly
satisfied with the fatness of Thy House; and Thou shalt make them drink
of the river of Thy pleasures! For with Thee is the Fountain of Life:
in Thy Light shall we see Light!" (Ps.36:7-9.)
 Another
wonderful thing about Heaven will be our reunion with all of our loved
ones! It'll be the greatest Family Reunion ever known, with all of your
loved ones and relatives and children and parents and ancestors and descendants
and ascendants and fellow labourers and loves from whom you've been separated,
or who have departed already! There we will all be together in one place
at the same time, rejoicing and praising the Lord all together in one
great grand Heavenly Fellowship Meeting! When I visited there I saw all
my departed loved ones smiling, happy, laughing, looking young and beautiful
again! So that's another thrilling aspect of Heaven to look forward to!--We'll
all be together at last!
(SINGS:)
"When
we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the Victory!"
--Hallelujah! Won't
that be great? Everyone There is going to be so good and loving and kind
and helpful and gentle and tender and cheerful and faithful, really loving
the lord and caring for each other!--Just beautiful!--The perfect
society, the perfect community, in perfect fellowship with
each other and the Lord! There will be no hate or jealousy or selfishness
or cruelty or any of those bad things.--Everybody's going
to be just lovely!--So sweet and kind!--Just beautiful, just perfect!--Like
angels! It will be wonderful!--You'll love it!
BUT
WOE UNTO THE WAYWARD
But now the Scripture gives a sober warning to those who are not
His children, who didn't receive and love Him, and who will therefore
miss out on Heaven and all of the Heavenly delights He has in store
for His Own.--How sad!
"But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which
is the second death."
(Rev.21:8.)--
Imagine! The very worst, the
ultimately rebellious, Christ-rejecting wicked will not only miss out
on all the wonderful, thrilling pleasures and beauties and glories that
God's children will inherit, but some will even have to suffer the terrible
age-lasting punishment of the very fires of Hell! Don't let it
happen to you!
You're
invited to Heaven!
