In Heaven

Today we will discuss "be done in earth, as it is in heaven "Are we being told or asked to do on earth as it is in Heaven? I think so and if you and I are to do that we must know what is going on in Heaven. The question would be do we KNOW what is going on in HEAVEN? And if not can we find out? In the Old Testament the word "Heaven" in mentioned 313 times. In the New Testament it is mentioned 238 times. I think you and I might get some kind of idea of what is going on in Heaven; let's see if we can. Up to this point in this prayer it has been all about HIM; I wonder if now we are going to get to ask something for ourselves; don't think so, not yet. As I read some of those 551 verses I found three things going on in heaven; let me share them with you.

There is Rejoicing in Heaven

Luke 15:7
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Luke 15:10
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Luke 10:20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

 

There is an Inheritance in Heaven

1Peter 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1Peter 1:4
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

 

There is Worship in Heaven

Revelation 7:9
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Revelation 7:10
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Revelation 7:11
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

Revelation 7:12
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.

Now maybe we can understand this verse

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Watch where we put our Treasures

Matthew 6:19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Have a great week and take the time to enjoy those around you.
