Can We Walk in Heaven - On Earth?
This is Part 3 of "A New Heaven and a New Earth.
“June 11, 1995 it is Sunday. I am sitting in silence, sensing God’s call to come apart. I hear the ticking of the clock. Knowing that time will pass and events will occur that are “turning points.” Life is forever changing and sad and beginning of another part of the life’s journey never gone down before. This not prophetic, this is what has to be. Circles of life—end results of decisions—end results of life put into motions by others behaviors. A girl drinks and drives, a policeman died.
Jesus, speak to my heart, please. I need a Word from you.
“Let life be, let God work—trust and obey, live, love, and pray.” His voice speaks from within. I answer, “God have mercy on us all; what must be-- sometimes hurts.”
(That was found on page 43 of "My Journey, My Cross" a book that God led me to write of all the ways He helped keep our, now 50 years of marriage together.)
Yes, time continues to pass and events continue to occur, and I am sure we all can see, the battle is heating up between good and evil. More and more God's laws are changed by man. This cannot be done! We will feel the repercussions of these changes in our world. God is not blind to our actions, and He will discipline and purify His children and this world.
How do we find NOW---Heaven on Earth, and walk in God's Presence?
Page 43 of another book written by me and God, "Hi, Its Me God."
"Remember too, to read those spiritual books that God leads you to and you feel the strong urge too pick up."
Daily we must come to read or hear God's word!! Just as you eat physical food, we must feed spiritually from His banquet table. The daily readings are availble on internet at https://bible.usccb.org/readings/calendar. and also in books published for you. I highly recommend "The Word Among Us" and "Give Us This Day."
As this battle in our world continues---Learn from St. Paul's advice in Ephesians 5, what is our Duty to Live in the Light.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient.* dd(NO ONE, especially what is seen on a SCREEN!)
7 So do not be associated with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light,
9 for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.
10 Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
11 Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them,
12 for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret;
13 but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
14 for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says:
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”*
15 * Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise,
16 making the most of the opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord.
18 And do not get drunk on wine, in which lies debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 addressing one another [in] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing to the Lord in your hearts,
20 giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.
CAN YOU SEE JUST HOW WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD AND GUIDE US DAILY?
PUT on the whole armor of God!
Ephesians 6 ----Battle against Evil.
10 * Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
13 Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and,
having done everything, to hold your ground.
14 So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15 and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16 In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD!
LET US DO THIS BELOVED, LET US DO THIS!! Onward into Heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit!!
About the Author
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from our church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 50 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
