Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you. And when I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:1-3.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
My plans for you outnumber the sand, so varied and vast are the projects and amazing works of excellence you will be involved in forever, but I have also planned a place for you, a dwelling place, a permanent abode of majesty and splendor forever with Me.
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 2 Corinthians 5:1-3.
And it is for you, it is like no one else’s but uniquely for you, and Jesus has prepared it by opening My Kingdom to you.
The night before My Son died to reconcile you to Me, He told you that He was going to prepare a place for you and when He had, He would come again and receive you to Himself that where He was you also may be. He prayed not only for those who heard Him that night but all you who would believe in Him through their Word that you would be with Him where He is at My right hand, so you would see His glory and experience My love just as He did. John 17:20-26.
Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. John 17:24.
In the world as it is now since Adam’s fall, you may feel like you have no place where you truly belong—nowhere you are truly loved and valued—but more than that, nowhere you have found that you feel totally at home. But the good news is that this earth, as it is now, is not your permanent home, you are merely a sojourner here until the time comes that I make new heavens and a new earth and My Kingdom joins with earth and I make My abode among you.
And in Me, deep in My bosom from whence Jesus came forth to earth, I have prepared a place for you, a place where you are home, beloved, and valued beyond price. Your wealthy place, our secret place, a refuge and fortress, a holy place set apart, a place where you are always welcome—a place in My house at the family table. A place where you step in and relax in perfect peace, comfort, and a sense of this is your place and has been just for you forever. It is your FOREVER place—the place that you will never desire to leave. It is the only place that really fits you exactly. It is the only place where you truly belong. And I have planned it since before the foundation of the world. And it is in Me for you are Mine. And all I have is yours. You are in My image and likeness and you will never be at home anywhere but in Me.
Do you ever think about that I am preparing a home for you in Heaven? My Son told you this. He told you to have faith in Me and Him as the One I sent and to know that He is preparing a place for you, a permanent abode, a mansion, in Heaven. And when it is prepared He will come back to take you with Him to your home. John 14:1-3.
Yes, you have a home with Me. And no one can steal it or harm it. You have treasure in Heaven that moth and rust cannot corrode and thieves cannot break in and steal. Matthew 6:20. It is yours. And it is yours FOREVER.
I tell you many things about what awaits you in the Kingdom of Heaven in My Word. And if you read both the Old and New Testament, you will see that Heaven is much closer and much more in contact with earth than most people think. The Israelites heard My voice from Heaven on Mt. Sinai. Exodus 20:22. I opened the glory of Heaven to the shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem the night My Son was born. Luke 2:9-14. When My Son was baptized in the Jordan I opened Heaven and spoke over Him My favor. Mark 1:11. Stephen looked right into Heaven as he was being stoned while on earth. Acts 7:55.
So what do you know from My Word that you will be assured of in My heavenly Kingdom?
In Heaven there is no pain, sorrow, crying, or death. Revelation 21:4. I wipe every tear from your eyes and there is pure joy there. You share My joy and in My presence there is fullness of joy. It is a lovely place with a perfect environment and the trees bear fruit and bloom all the time. And you can eat from the tree of life and its leaves are healing for the nations. Revelation 2:7; Revelation 22:2.
In Heaven there is no darkness, all is light. There is no night, only perfect, uninterrupted day. Revelation 21:23-26. There is no curse there, so there is no poverty, sickness, disasters, or any evil. Revelation 22:3.
My Word also tells you that you shall live like the angels in Heaven. That I dwell with you and you dwell with Me. That all in Heaven are My people and I will be among you. That you drink from the spring of the water of life without cost. You will eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, the banquet hall of love, and My banner over you is love. That is the banner of My Kingdom. Pure love. And it is a Kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
All who overcome inherit these things. Revelation 21:7. I shall be your God and you will be My child. Beautiful and fair indeed is your inheritance. Psalm 16:6. Your mansion in the Heavenly city, the city which comes down and joins My Kingdom with the new, renewed, incorruptible earth after the end of this age when I make all things new, is beyond what you can ask or imagine but it will be just what you always wanted but did not dare to believe could be yours. Revelation 21:1-5.
And all the kingdoms of the earth shall again be My Kingdom and I will give them all to you where you shall rule and reign with Me forever. Daniel 7:27; Revelation 11:15; Revelation 22:5.
And in Heaven, all will have a glorified body. You cannot now begin to know what that is like. You will be clothed in immortality, majesty and glory, brilliant and beautiful. And there is no aging or weakness, no sickness or death. 1 Corinthians 15:42-49. You will be like My Son, for you shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2. And remember when He rose from the dead? He could walk through locked doors and walls. He would appear and disappear.
And you will travel like Me with the clouds as you chariots and you will walk on the wings of the wind. Psalm 104:3.
And My Kingdom is a vast and peaceful Kingdom for all generations. And My throne of justice and mercy is established there forever. And there is a rainbow around My throne.
The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. Psalm 103:19.
The Heavenly city has foundation stones of precious gems and the gates are of pearl. And the gates are always open. And the streets are paved in gold, spun clear as crystal. Revelation 21:18-26. And you shall see Me face to face and know Me even as you are known. Revelation 22:4; 1 Corinthians 13:12. And there are faith, hope and love in abundance there. 1 Corinthians 13:13.
You will sit on My Son’s throne with Him and He is seated with Me, so you will actually sit with Me on My throne. I like My children close to Me. I embrace you with My everlasting arms. My left hand under your head and My right arm embracing you. All comfort and love will be yours. You will be loved like you never thought possible. And you will feel that love surrounding you and filling you with life at every moment.
And My Glory lights Heaven. It is a wonderful light that never dims but fills you with joy.
And you receive the hidden manna and a white stone with your own special Name on it, the Name I have called you since before the foundation of the world– the Name that only you and I will know and share in our intimate conversations.
And there are special rewards for each of you. Yes, rewards are waiting for you in Heaven according to the life you have lived on earth. What you do now determines your eternity and your degree of glory therein. Make sure that you are storing up heavenly treasure and not only earthly, for those in Heaven differ in glory like the stars differ in brightness. Some are brighter than others. This is all determined by what you do on earth.
Careful with your time on earth, it is brief but it carries great reward if lived according to My Word.
And I offer crowns to those who undertake certain assignments for My Kingdom, ministering to My people. I offer a crown to those who long for My coming. And all who have been faithful to Me on earth receive the crown of life. Revelation 2:10.
I give those who have been fruitful and faithful in the affairs of life on earth charge of cities in Heaven. The responsibilities you have in the Heavenly Kingdom will differ. But all will be fulfilled and could not hold more joy than they will have. You will be more than satisfied. It is joy unspeakable forever.
That is Me. And you are in My image.
Everything that people fight so hard to have and keep on earth fades in comparison to what is yours in the age to come. Do not lose so great a treasure over the fleeting pleasures of sin in the present age. Your time on earth is only a test to see if you will choose life and not death, love and not hate, light and not darkness, for if you are faithful in little things I can trust you with greater things.
And life in Heaven with Me never ends. It is forever. We have all eternity to enjoy each other and to undertake amazing projects. You will have much to do in Heaven and on the earth, and indeed throughout the vast universe, when all is joined as one under My jurisdiction and all evil is locked away in its own abode, segregated and never again released. Then all will be pure joy with no sorrow to it. There will be no more terror, no more strife, and no more fear. There is no lack, only abundance. Infinity of blessing and goodness.
There, you will enter true rest. Oh, you will be busy, but you will flow and glow as you grow in wisdom, knowledge, and power. You will come to know how to operate as I do as you rest in Me and My power and My life fills you to the utmost that you can hold.
Heaven is full of revelation. You rise from glory to glory and never come to the end.
At last you will know who you are and there will be nothing hindering your vision. All will be open before your eyes. And there is nothing but beauty in all My vast domain.
And in Heaven you will sing new songs. In fact, even the flowers sing and the stones cry out with joy. And the lion lies down with the lamb. There is no violence on My Holy Mountain. And you will be there. This is not a dream, but a reality.
Enjoy your present life that I give you, but keep your heart fixed on My Kingdom until I come back to take you to the lovely dwelling I have prepared for you. I am preparing it now and filling it with good things for you to enjoy. Help Me by storing up heavenly treasure each day by keeping My Word in all you think, say and do.
I love you with an everlasting love that has no limits and no end. You can rely on Me. I am coming soon. Do not be blind to the signs of the times. I am knocking at your door. Open so I can come in and dine with you and you with Me. Revelation 3:20. Just open your heart to Me and let Me love you. That will make all the difference.
