We don't have to assemble daily to pray as we need to be in a prayerful attitude always. Coming together in small groups and praying together weekly and/or biweekly is also a great way for people in the Body of Christ to encourage each other and to come together, touching heaven with one purpose...
I know the story. It is forbidden by God to engage the spirits of the dead. Demons answer when we do. The Maccabees is not inspired scripture, so it holds no authority for me or you.
The description of heaven I have received is from the bible only, and does not include any ideations that come...
I try to be as we are called to be, which is living prayerfully every day all day. No need for tradition in that area, except for coming together on designated days for prayer. Once a month our church assembles for "Breakthrough Prayer".
And...the spirits of men in heaven have no influence on our lives. The 144,000 who will come and will die as martyrs will not be considering you or me in their query.
How do you figure that? These martyrs can see the signs going on all around them. They will know what's going on by what's happening in heaven. They know who they are and what time period they come from, and what their mission was. In heaven, they have all the knowledge they need.
God doesn't tell us about the spirits of those who have died in Christ. Personally, I think they are aware of the rejoicing and they join in with abandon. It's infectious---an incessant party goin' on!
My opinion doesn't matter. It's what God's word says. We can think on these things and wonder...
This event is one particular event prophesied in Revelation. It has been said that these martyrs are the 144,000.
Yes, indeed! This rejoicing is indeed an eruption on a huge scale when one person comes to faith in Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. Angels!
You very unintentionally...
It is said that the truth offends. It serves as a stumbling stone for those who adhere too tightly to tradition and man-made doctrine.
Romans 9:31-33
But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded. 32 Why not? Because they were trying to...
There's nothing bleak in anything I believe about heaven. I believe what the scriptures tell us. I don't embellish it with ideas that the spirits of people there are concerned about us.
I recommend the book, "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. It is a tremendous book that uses ONLY scripture to assemble...
My loved ones who are with Jesus still love me, but their attention is on their reward: Jesus and the glorious presence of GOD. You see indifference. I see glory.
It's not the saints' jobs. It's God's love at work through His Spirit, and it's Jesus' work to intercede for us.
The reality is that the saints in heaven are enjoying the spiritual Kingdom right now. There is no time there. When we get there, it will beas though no time has passed for them...
Nope. I know the word.
The truth is that we are all priests, and all are on the same team: Team Jesus. So, the religious tradition of special garments for our brothers and sisters in ministry may well be an option, but in reality, it isn't necessary, nor a rule, nor does God say anything about...
