Alone in heaven...

[Michael Hawk]

I know the whole heaven/hell debate has gone on for some time. But the hardest thing for me about spending eternity in heaven is not having a lot of friends or family there. I love Jesus and want to be with him but not spending it with all these people makes me so sad. I've shared the word of God and made sure i didn't push too far to turn them away from Christianity, prayed and think about ways for them to accept salvation but I can only go so far.

Anyways, how do you guys deal with not having friends/family in heaven? Do you think eventually we will just forget about them? Will the love of God make us not think about them anymore?

The more you walk with Jesus, the more friends you will have cos you will get to know your true brothers and sisters better. Cos we are your family, and when you think about it, ever since the world began, God has been taking His people, and calling out His sheep, and that's a lot of souls!

Talk to Him about if if you're worried. yes I get sad sometimes, but just got to trust Him for my family. He can come through at the last minute. Don't ever stop praying. And I suppose when we get to heaven, we'll remember the former days no more. It will be just to amazing in heaven, and there will be no crying in heaven, only tears of joy.

When we hold on to others too tightly we can lose sight of the one who loves us as no one else can. We can become paralyzed and fearful and start to doubt that God loves our loved ones more than we do.

What good is it to live in fear?

Begin to pray in faith for your loved ones and believe that your trust in the Lord will do more to bring about good in your loved ones lives than staying in a prison of fear and doubt.

Faith is this.... If none go with me, still I will follow You Lord.

This all in faith will move God's hands and cause salvation to come
into the lives of those you love.

Your prayers of faith will produce much for the glory of God and bring many to faith.

God knows how to lead others to Himself if we will do our part and invite
Him into the lives of those we love.

God is looking for those who will have faith and believe that all things are possible when we trust in Him.

Pray and place your loved ones in His capable hands and stop worrying.

Worry does nothing but bring doubt and fear and prevents us from doing
What God asks us to do, pray and believe.

Ask God to give you His peace to replace your fear a doubt and He will.

Did Jesus become afraid at the wind and the wave, no, He simply rebuked
Them and spoke the word peace, be still.

We to can rebuke those things that can bring fear and walk in God's peace.

God's will is that your loved ones would be saved so agree with God as you invite Him to work in the lives of those you love and walk in the peace of knowing that they are in His capable and loving hands.

Don't look at the circumstances but instead trust in the Lord and His desire to save.

when such thoughts come to me, i thank God that i'm not the Savior, and that the way things look now is no reliable indication of the way they will turn out

Well since we all come from Adam and Eve.... we are all technically family. Which if you want to be gross... the person you marry eventually will technically be a VERY distant cousin. LOL.

Joking aside I go back to the fact we are all family. And we will be busy talking with past loved ones, people from the bible like John...even Jesus that we won't be worried about who we know or don't know. A matter of fact since worry is a human thing, we won't be worrying in heaven.

Owning a sinless new resurrected mind and body of Christ, like Jesus Christ himself, is to experience no negative feelings such as depression, anxiety and especially loneliness where you have the fullness of Christ's spirituality with all the positive fruits of abundance, like joy and peace, that are like pain-free or stress-free confidence and youthful body-energy boosters:.
A new universe and new Earth with no sea (Rev 21:1) means that there will be no more natural disasters such as the Great Flood that drowned the wicked during Noah's Ark's voyage to find dry land, or even a space disaster such as a planet-attacking asteroid that would cause a massive multiple nuclear bomb explosion, wiping out centuries of forestation and civilization:.
Patience is needed for Christ's Second Coming victory return, and once Satan is defeated, I believe we will experience Jehovah's Supernatural Age, the next era after our 21st century Information Age, where smart TVs for example, have combined television and the internet for large-screen access to images and information updates -
smart tvs are inventions from Earth's soil, where Adam and Eve were supernaturally created as our first non-pregnancy human adults that did not come from a woman's womb in the form as tiny babies.:
Bible study on a weekly basis is growing rapidly, especially with large global organizations such as Jehovah's Witness, or Mormon, since we at at the "end times" -
Christ's return could be anytime in the future without any advertising television campaign that would allow us spare time to fully prepare ourselves ready for his arrival.;'*';.

I believe in household salvation. I watched a video of Ian McCormack (on youtube), an atheist who died and came back and got saved because when he was dying God told his mother to pray and He lead him in the sinner's prayer just in time. He wanted to come back to tell her he had not gone to hell.
I just pray and believe they get saved. God can do much more than we think. Benny Hinn has good prayers for household salvation, he also binded the powers that blinded their thoughts. Even his brother got saved. He even felt the Holy Spirit in his room while Benny was praying and resisted Him. When he finally got saved he said: If he can get saved anyone can!!!!

Dear Michael Hawk. Jesus was asked in Luke 10: 25-28: " Master, what must
I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered: " You know the two Commandments to Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, also: to love your neighbour as you love yourself?
( Matthew 22: 35-40) DO THIS AND YOU SHALL LIVE." That tells us how we are expected to live in Heaven. How do we become like this? The Bible tells us: " repent and be Born Again." Give up our selfish wishes and wants, and change into loving and caring men and women. What do we have to do?
In Matthew 7: 7-10: we are told: " ask and you shall receive," we ask for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour,
we keep asking and receiving, then share all love and joy with our neighbour:
who is our neighbour? all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends.
This might not be easy to start, but Love is very catching, and gradually we will change into loving and caring sons and daughters, of our Heavenly Father.
The Holy Spirit will help and guide us, and Jesus our Saviour will lead us all the way: JESUS IS THE WAY. We might stumble and forget at times, but then we ask God to forgive us, and carry on loving and caring. Let us show God how Loving and Caring we can be. God is Love, and God wants loving sons and daughters. I say this with love, Michael. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ. P.S In Matthew 5: 48: Jesus tells us: " Be therefore perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect."
