In a sense we are all longing for heaven. For peace, safety, joy, beauty and love. We want to experience “heaven on earth”. There is a built in desire in all of us to experience heaven now.
When Adam and Eve messed up mankind lost the ability to move in the realms of the spirit– back and forth between heaven and earth. We couldn’t function in that heavenly realm any longer because of the divide between mankind and God. We were stuck on earth with a longing for heaven.
But Jesus became the door into heaven restoring and enabling us to experience heavenly realms. Because of Him we can come boldly to the throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:16)
Unfortunately we have made death the entrance point for heaven. In a sense we have made death our saviour. Death saves us from all the pain and sorrow, and when we die then we can then enter our rest and enjoy Heaven.
But actually Jesus is our saviour and He is the entrance point to heaven now. Not death!
God’s presence for real life
“For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on the earth.” (Col 3:1-2)
When we ask Jesus to be our Saviour and leader in our lives we are joined to heaven.
We are in Him, and He is in us. “In Him we live and move and have our being”. (Acts 17:28)
He is the door to heaven.
John 10:9 “I am the door, If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
In and out, in and out of Heaven, and we find all we need. We don’t have to wait till we die to experience all the amazing things of heaven. Jesus invites us in. Jesus is the door and the access point for us to enter into heavens realms.
Practice just enjoying Him; being IN Him. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. (Heb 12:2)
Fix your eyes today on His love, His kindness and His deep affection for you. You can experience Heaven today. Just step in.
Prayer: Lord please help me to see how I am connected to you and to heaven now. That death isn’t the doorway to living in heavenly realms, you are. I want to experience Heaven today. In Jesus Name Amen.
