Heaven: WHAT DO YOU THINK ITS LIKE?

[Trish1947]

I know that it says in the Bible "That it has not entered into our minds what the Lord has planned for those that love Him, But, it also says that it has been revealed to us by the Spirit. Has anyone ever seen through the glass darkly? Or had any revelations about this?

Yes; Paul is right you heard inexpressible words. I will say it is joy like--word's fail.

I one time had a dream(this was right before my going to school over in Jerusalem back in 92), I dreamed of arriving at the school in Jerusalem and then, after seeing that people were going thru t-shirts and material stuff in the cafeteria, I went outside and found myself being led by a man outside the school and away from physical Jerusalem. We were walking in a desert at nighttime and up in the sky I saw what looked like a beautiful jewel sparkling in the nighttime sky. We were heading in that direction. It was so beautiful and sparkled like a diamond. Then, I woke up. Lara

I have had one experiance in this area, and it is something that is so fresh in my mind to this day after 25 years. I had been taken to be shown the face of God. I heard praises that I cannot discribe with words. Everything vibrated with the sounds of adoration. (my interpretation) really words cannot discribe it. It went through your entire being. I saw winged creatures around the throne, their wings we're covering the throne. I looked at them, they started to open their wings, and as they we're opening, it sounded like a thousand waterfalls, and the light that was coming through the wings we're taking my breath away, I could not stand, I begged God to please, please if I see your face I will die, but the wings kept opening to the point of me I felt, I was losing my life, then just as I thought that I would die at seeing His face, Jesus stepped out of the light, and praises and smoke filled the whole temple, I had seen the glory of the Lord. Then I was escorted out of the temple, and that was the end of my revelation.

Trish 1947; You where most graced by God, wonderful. Mine was on the worship that is to come and is with in weeks of showing up onto the earth. It happean about 30 yrs. ago. I will say this, are glorified body look like us, at or around the age of 30, only better if that makes sense.

Trish, I'm crying as I read your post. How beautiful the Lord is!

I read a Christian novel recently called Deadline and the author expresses his imaginations of heaven. It got me so excited. I realized from reading that book how beyond our imagination heaven will be.

 

[Trish1947]

I have not talked about this experience to anyone but my husband in the last 25 yrs. I just refused to because I was afraid that I might sound like I was boasting. I am still basicly dumbfounded and I question all the time, "why me", I'm just a simple housewife. But I have given it a lot of thought over the years that it is the Spirits choosing, nothing I have done. But I ask why, is it just for my benefit, and I had some need in my life to see these things. Or is it given to edify the Body of Christ, I just don't know. But the Lord has really impressed on my heart to share this now, at this time. So I will be obediant to his promptings.

Enoch Son quoted: I will say this, are glorified body look like us, at or around the age of 30, only better if that makes sense.

I believe this is true also. When my mother died to the ravages of cancer. I was broken hearted by losing her, But I knew that she was with the Lord. About a week after she died, I had a dream. There was a knock at my front door, and when I opened it, I recognized her as my mother, she said she could not come in and stay but wanted to let me know that she was o.k. She turned and I watched her as she walked down the road out of my site. Then I woke up. And I had a feeling of great consolation. But what I noticed about her in my dream was that she was young, beautiful, glowing skin, she looked like she was about 30. I think I was given great consolation that I will see her again.

Later when I was going through her things, I found a picture of her when she was about 30, it was her in my dream, but only better.

Let me ask you this Trish 1947; When I get taken is when I'm in deep pray or the real neat ones are when I ask a question.
I know what you mean about why me and I've always stop bacause of the vers. "Let him who think's he's spiritual thing."
I ask two question of God 1. Why time? 2. Why a new body? God told me to look at the clock it was 9 at nite. Wham! I was knock down and could not move. I saw a host and me or what look like me (I was 19 at the time) dancing around the room shouting and priase God "I WAS SHOUTING HE FINALLY SET ME FREE!" and dancing like a madman praising God. What seem like seconds and it was over. When I look at the clock 2 1/2 hrs. had pasted. God said so much for time and you we need the body to dance in my presence.
There has been many more.

When I had the experiance of God being revealed, I was thristing so much for God even though I had recently been filled. I really wanted to die, I wanted to go be with the Lord right now, I couldnt continue in this life anymore. I was praying that the Lord please come and get me, I dont want to stay here any more. I wasnt thinking about my baby, my husband, my job, I couldnt function in this life at all. But when I had this experiance, it began about noon, and it didnt seem to last more than maybe 10 minutes at the most, but when I was back, I looked at the clock and it was 5:30 pm.. I was shocked, and thought what happened, I was so full of joy, but the time?? How did that happen. But in Heaven there is no time. But I could go on living again. I really did die, and I felt every death throw in my flesh.

When I get taken up He makes me laugh. It seem like no time as pasted but hour go bye. He is so funny. He had me laughing and dancing around one time and said "IF STEVE MARTIN ONLY NEW WHAT REAL HAPPY FEET ARE." I don't know what to say because many times myself I have beg to go home also. And then WHAM! It's so nice not to be alone. thank you

LOL..!! I love it!! I really cant believe that this is rare in the Lord, but maybe people are just too aprehensive about talking about it. Or maybe its a private happening to them and they dont want to express it. I dont really know.

No not at all I have a ver. for you 1 John 2- 27-28. The children of Israel (only a few went in) did not enter the cloud they shrink back or draw away when He came. The same holds true in the church today. I run into the cloud, it look's like you do to. Another mistake the body makes they stop minstering to God and start minstering to each other. Like God can't heal everyone without there help. HELLO! If they would stay after His face OH-MY.

Well that does make me sad. But I guess it's true. It just seems like the Lord was close to me as a young child. I remember my mom told me to go take a nap I was about 7 yrs old. I was mad, lol, I thought I was too old to go take a nap. But anyway I went into my bedroom, and I had no plans at all of taking any nap so there was a Bible my Grandmother had just given me for my birthday, and wouldnt you know I started reading in the book of Revelation. Not a good place for a child to start. But it scared me to death I was reading about beasts, things with horns, things rising out of the sea, and within a few minutes I was absolutly shaking with fear, so I threw the covers over my head, and I heard a soft voice call my name, I peeked out from under the covers, and there was Jesus standing in the doorway, and said to me. "Do not be afraid I am with you always, this is a story with a wonderful happy ending," and all the fear drained right out of that 7yr old child.

Trish! Blessings, I love hearing the stories--especially about His comforting you as a little girl after reading Rev. I use to worry about the judgment seat when He would give us our gifts. I didn't know if my works would be turn into gold, precious jewels, or hay and stubble. I had a dream one night. I dreamed of being in Heaven and I was with others and we were all sitting, like children on the ground or floor. I dreamed I heard my name and I received my gifts. My gifts turned out to good gifts after all--not hay and stubble. I feel like, at times, no, I don't deserve it, especially with my attitude sometimes--especially on the forums, but I know He's still working on me. Lara

That is wonderful. Our belonging to God is supposed to be a relationship. I just think we sometimes don't understand what that means. Its what I want, and it most definatley what He wants. I dont want to shrink back in unbelief, when I hear him call I want to come running, He wants to show us things, about Himself, His Heaven, what He has planned for us. Wheather by dreams or revelations, but we have to "be still and know that I am God."

The Bible says that the Spirit will take of Mine and show it unto you. We need to take time and let us be shown.

Definitely! It seems that I want so much to do something for Him--but find so many times that I can't. It's as if I'm being glued down to my home with no where to go, etc. If I think about having a fellowship at my house in this little town, deep down inside I know that it will all be rubbish--it will be very tedious, etc. I know that if Abba want me to do something, He will give me the Power and ability to do it. But I realize He's just wanting me to rest in Him and enjoy Him as I sit on my porch and watch the cardinals and woodpeckers and my cats. In fact, I've given up on 'religion' and the so called trappings of being a 'christian' or even 'charismatic'. I know to certain ones, in their eyes I've gone 'pagan' or something, but I know I'm to just obey Abba. Right now in my life, I rather make pine needle baskets and enjoy things of nature, etc, instead of going to the latest revival gathering or whatever. I'm so worn down over 'religion'.

I know what you are saying, I have been through the same thing. I beat myself up with it. I beat myself up with trying to believe, trying to minister, trying to please the Lord and it was driving me crazy.

Then I ran away from it all. I couldnt cope with it anymore. One day I just screamed at Jesus "if I'm going to lose you by being myself then I dont know what to do about it!! I was frantic, while others said you have to stick it out, it will be alright, you dont have enough faith, on and on.. But at that time I didnt care. Then Heaven was silent for a few months. I thought I have blown it now!!

But the Lord was so good to me. I was asleep and about 2am I woke up, I could feel that the spirit of the Lord was wanting to say something to me, but I just couldnt receive. This happend 3 nights in a row. Then finally He got through to me, He said, "I have not asked you to do.. I have asked you to be"
"When you can be real with me, I will be real with you". And it was like the biggest weight was off my shoulders. My faith in his word was not compromised at all, but I was not being real, I was trying to copy others, speak their words, act like them, do like them. But I was not being the one that Jesus saved. This revelation was the biggest turning point in my life. Now I rest, and He brings the circumstances into my life that I can witness. I'm not fighting it anymore. My Motto: Let Go, and Let God.
