PREPARING FOR HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY
AWAITING HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES
WELCOME BACK ... So very glad that you chose to enhance your Heavenly Hope. That's awesome! It is definitely worth our time to find out more about where we will be spending Eternity and how to maintain our focus on the Spiritual Promise! As we sojourn down this Christian Walk. Many Christians tend to lose sight of why they became a Christian.
The path to Heaven can sometimes feel like the highway to hell. The Christian Walk can oft times become very overwhelming. Life seems to become too busy and chaotic. The trials and tribulations become too overwhelming. Not to mention we have this invisible enemy of our soul who seeks to have us stumble at every turn ...
|
1
Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as
a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
... |
During all this ... It is very easy to lose focus and to lose sight of the finish line.
The end of this race is Eternal Life in Heaven. One would imagine that it would be difficult to lose sight of such an awesome promise, but we all know that it can become kinda difficult at times and we become blinded by the day to day worldly problems that we encounter. We can all agree on this. We must see this as a race and choose to keep our eyes on the prize.
|
1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. |
Isn't it easier to run a race when you can see the end in sight?
However ... It's hard to stay focused on the finish line,
when we are knee deep in trials and tribulation, isn't it?
If we are going to Heaven, why do we have to feel like we go
through hell to get there?
What is the purpose of so many trials? How
can we keep our Hope going in the midst of it all?
This Eternal Life Bible study program will bring the prize at the end of this
Christian Walk, into visible expression. So,
that we may obtain patience as to finish the race.
|
Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the
sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
... |
HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY HOPE
HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES BLESSINGS
This Heaven Help Us now study will be a Spiritual reminder of why we endure the
trials and tribulations and why we want to continue to
endure and overcome them.
Let's
talk a lil about these trials and tribulations, shall we?
Trials and tribulations are something that every person
experiences through the course of their lifetime. If you are
unable to understand why we are subject to these trials and
tribulations, you may find yourself placing the blame on
God.
Did
you know that as Christians, we are to expect TRIALS and
TRIBULATION?
That
we MUST experience them ...
|
Acts 14:22
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting
them to continue in the faith, and that WE MUST,
through MUCH TRIBULATION, enter into the Kingdom of
God. |
We are
to be patient and endure these TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS.
|
Romans 12:12
Rejoicing in hope; patient in TRIBULATION;
continuing instant in prayer ... |
As
these repeated TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS establish PATIENCE.
|
Romans 5:3
And not only so, but we glory in TRIBULATIONS also:
knowing that TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE. |
Many
believe they are all alone during these TRIALS and
TRIBULATIONS and are the only ones which endure such things
...
But Peter shares this with us:
|
1 Peter 4:12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the FIERY
TRIAL which is to TRY you, as though some strange
thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye
are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with
exceeding joy. |
The
Bible reveals that these TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS are for our
benefit.
|
Ephesians 3:13
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
TRIBULATIONS for you, which is your glory. |
As
well as bring up fellow Christians when they see that you
can endure and overcome the TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS thru
Jesus ...
|
2 Thessalonians 1:4
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of
God for your patience and faith in all your
persecutions and tribulations that ye endure ...
|
But
WHY are we to endure these TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS?
|
1 Peter 1:7
That the TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ ... |
IT IS
A TRIAL (TEST) OF OUR FAITH.
One thing that we should always remember is that God may do
whatever He wants with us, His children, and indeed there
are times when our trials and tribulations may be allowed by
God or even God's will, but most of the time, we bring these
trials and tribulations about all by ourselves or others
that we have given authority in and/or over our lives.
The first thing that everyone should understand is the
difference between fate and destiny.
Fate is the result of choices that we make, but Destiny is
irresistible.
Destiny is your destination ... Destiny is what is destined
to happen to you.
It's what IS going to be the final result. It has been
predetermined beforehand.
Fate, on the other hand, is the result of the different
directions that we take by our own free will on the road to
our destiny.
The next thing that we should understand is free will.
HEAVEN HELP US
Life isn't a puppet show, with everything we say, do, and
think, all written out by God before it actually happens.
What would be the point?
God gave us all free will ... Which is the choice to do what
we "will" or wish.
We
even have the CHOICE to go to Heaven or Hell.
HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY WARNING
HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES CONCERN
Now, one may say if our life is predestined, how does one
say that we have free will or Choice. God knows what you are going to choose
because He is God, but you are the one allowed to make choices
which is why Destiny will occur. God got a sneak preview and
knows what your destiny is. Perhaps this is done so that God
will be able to show this person that they did get to choose
when they are standing at Judgment saying ...
WHY GOD?
Keep in mind that God gave us the Bible and sends men and
women with His Word to help guide us to make the right
choices, but in the end ... It is us that will make every
choice. The choice to or not to surrender our SELF and let
Him lead us ... Is a choice.
Even making no choice IS a choice.
Cuz you CHOSE not to make a choice.THIS
IS CALLED FREE WILL
|
See
Free Will Study at the end of this page to learn more. |
Did
you know that God even gave the Angels free will?
Sooooooo, what about these Angels?
They are spiritual (they have no flesh) and Heaven was their
home. They
are ministering SPIRITS and are supposed to assist humans
who are DESTINED to be saved.
|
Hebrews 1:13-14
But to which of the
Angels
said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation? |
God's intent was that they would remain pure and righteous.
When God created mankind (Adam and Eve) they were created in HIS image. They were intended to remain pure and righteous, and death couldn't have taken hold of them. But, a not so funny thing happened on the way to Heaven. Through their free will (by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil),
Original Sin took hold of them.
|
See
Original Sin study at the end of this page to learn more. |
It
was BECAUSE OF THIS CHOICE ... That Sin entered man.
And a
twist of fate occurred on the way to destiny.
|
Genesis 3:17-19
And unto Adam he said,
Because
thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and
hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground
for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the
days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it
bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of
the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return. |
Now, let's look at the free will choices of some of the
Angels ...
Some of the Angels decided (with their own free will) to
leave their Heavenly home as to cohabitate with the
daughters of men on Earth.
In
other words, they chose to go and live with and have
children with human women.
|
Genesis 6:1-7
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on
the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto
them, That
the
sons of God (Angels) saw the daughters of men that
they were fair; and they took them wives of all which
they chose.
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days
shall be an hundred and twenty years.
There were giants in the Earth in those days;
and also after that,
when the sons of God (Angels) came in unto the
daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the
same became mighty men which were of old, men of
renown.
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in
the Earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts
of his heart was only evil continually. And it
repented the LORD that he had made man on the Earth,
and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I
will destroy man whom I have created from the face of
the Earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping
thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me
that I have made them. |
Think God did not feel hurt by their CHOICE to leave Him and
Heaven for human women?
So we ask ... WHY does God allow us to endure trials and
tribulation?
Maybe
... It is a test.
Maybe ... God doesn't want another bunch of fallen Angels.
Maybe
... The trials and tribulations that we face and how we deal
with them ...
Prove
ourselves to God, as to what kind of Angels we will be for
Him.
WHO IS IN HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY
HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES PLAN
ANGEL AUDITION
If
your Angels treated you the way the fallen Angels treated
God, wouldn't you put your prospective Angels through
vigorous testing as to assure what the last group of angels
had done ... NEVER happens again?
What is the test and trial factor?
Have you ever read the Book of Job?
Let me show you something interesting before we talk about
Job.
In Heaven, the Angels report to God about the things that go
on down here on Earth:
|
Matthew 18:10
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little
ones; for I say unto you, That in Heaven
their Angels do always behold the face of my Father
which is in Heaven. |
We see
that these angels report to God on our part, but there are
also fallen angels that report AGAINST us.
|
Revelation 12:10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is
come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of
our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night. |
Don't
think for a moment that these angels that are against us
don't eagerly await every chance that they can get to tattle
on anyone they can.
In
fact, many times they lure mankind into doing things and
then run up and tell God what we are doing.
Now,
Job was a man who had everything going for him. Well, Satan
saw this and in his jealousy and wickedness, he stood in
line with the other angels and when it was his turn, asked
God if he could mess with Job, to prove to God that Job
would curse God to His face.
|
Job 1:6-12
Now there was a day when the sons of God (Angels)
came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan
came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan,
Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and fro in the Earth, and from
walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto
Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there
is none like him in the Earth, a perfect and an
upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear
God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him,
and about his house, and about all that he hath on
every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands,
and his substance is increased in the land. But put
forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and
he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto
Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only
upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went
forth from the presence of the LORD. |
Now,
to make a long story short, Satan was allowed to take
everything away from Job, including his children, all he
owned, even his health.
What
was Job's response?
I
came into the world with nothing, and I will leave that way
... The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away.
Never
once did Job curse God as was expected by the enemy of our
soul. Of course Job wondered why these things happened to
him, but in the end, he overcame because he had FAITH.
HOPE
in GOD.
Because of Job's humility and Hope, the Lord rewarded him
with more blessings than he had at the beginning!
An interesting thing to notice about all of this, is that
you can obviously bring about trial and tribulation into
your life by making the wrong choices with your own free
will ...
HOWEVER, you can also bring about trial and tribulation BY
BEING GOOD ... Like Job.
If you find that hard to accept, and you're continually
wondering why trials and tribulation keeps finding you when
you are trying so very desperately to be good, just consider
that your life is really your Angel audition, and the test
and trial factor is just one means by which God chooses His
Angels.
I'd like to bring your attention to the test and trial that
Abraham endured in which GOD TEMPTED Abraham.
|
Genesis 22:1
And it came to pass after these things, that
God did TEMPT Abraham,
and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here
I am. |
Abraham was tested by God when He told him to sacrifice his
son Isaac for a burnt offering to the Lord.
The
Lord led Abraham all the way to the point where he was
holding the knife above Isaac, ready to plunge it into the
heart of his beloved son, before God stopped him.
Question: What kind of father would be willing to kill his
son?
Answer: Abraham - To prove his love for God.
What
did God do because Abraham loved God enough to sacrifice his
son for Him?
|
Genesis 22:16-18
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD,
for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I
will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply
thy seed as the stars of the Heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall
possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall
all the nations of the Earth be blessed; because thou
hast obeyed my voice. |
REASON WE GET HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY
HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES ON GRACE
When you think about this ... It breaks your heart to think of
the anguish that Abraham went through.
But, I
know another Father who actually did sacrifice His Son.
God
went ALL the way through with the sacrifice of Jesus.
Have
you ever thought of the anguish God went through when Jesus
was suffering and killed?
And
... He did this for YOU.
Are your own trials and tribulations starting to pale in
comparison?
HEAVENLY HEROES
Can you think of even one hero of the Bible who didn't go
through some kind of trial and tribulation?
These
TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS have been experienced by many of
those who chose to follow God ...
|
Hebrews 11:36-38
And others had trial of cruel mockings and
scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were
tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered
about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not
worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains,
and in dens and caves of the earth. |
Even
Paul endured many trials and tribulations ...
|
2 Corinthians 11:24-27
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save
one Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned,
thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have
been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of
waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own
countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the
city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the
sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and
painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst,
in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. |
One
may ask WHY would even Paul who served the Lord so
diligently, endure these things ...
Jesus
already answered this question ...
|
Acts 9:15-16
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a
chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the
Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I
will shew him how great things HE MUST SUFFER for my
name's sake. |
Jesus
told us of many who would be overcome with these
TRIBULATIONS.
Here
is something Jesus shared with us called the Parable of the
Sower.
|
Matthew 13:19-23
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and
catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This
is he which received seed by the way side. But he that
received the seed into stony places, the same is he
that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a
while: for when TRIBULATION or persecution ariseth
because of the Word, by and by HE IS OFFENDED. He also
that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth
the word; and the care of this world, and the
deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he
becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and
bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some
thirty. |
PATH TO HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY
HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES TRIBULATION
We are being refined by these trials and tribulations ...
Zechariah 13:8-9
And it shall come to pass, that in all the
land, saith the LORD, two parts therein
shall be cut off and die; but the third
shall be left therein.
And I will bring the third part through the
fire, and will refine them as silver is
refined, and will try them as gold is tried:
they shall call on my name, and I will hear
them: I will say, It is my people: and they
shall say, The LORD is my God.
|
So now
that we know that we ARE to expect, endure and overcome
these trials and tribulations ...
How do
we overcome these TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS properly as they
slowly work our patience?
The answer is ... TURN TO GOD!
|
Deuteronomy 4:29-31
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy
heart and with all thy soul.
When thou art in TRIBULATION, and all these things
are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou
turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto
his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;)
He will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy
fathers which he sware unto them. |
It is
GOD who sees us thru these TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS ...
|
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all
comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our TRIBULATION,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God. |
So,
the next time you are caught up in these TRIALS and
TRIBULATIONS ...
Turn
away from the TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS and TURN TO GOD.
And
remember the Words of our Lord ...
|
John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have
TRIBULATION: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world. |
In
conclusion to all of this, you can see that as Christians we
must strive to stop thinking like the world has taught us to
think. When you face trials and tribulation, it seems like
such a horrible thing.
Friends, you have to get a new perspective on things.
Many
of these trials and tribulation are TESTS of our soul and
are occurring as to determine if we are going to trade up
God, when things get rough or if we are lured away.
We
must learn to be patient and not focus on the problems but
rather keep your eyes on JESUS.
|
Matthew 14:29-30
And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out
of the ship,
he walked on the water,
to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink,
he cried, saying, Lord, save me. |
Peter DID walk on water when he kept His eyes on
Jesus but once he looked at his external
conditions, he began to sink.
He
suddenly trusted in HIS senses and considered his own
physical limitations.
This
is what most souls do when surrounded by Trials and
Tribulation.
Let go
and let God.
Give
it to God.
He
promises that He'll carry it.
|
Psalms 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain
thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. |
Get
rid of the weight of the world, and get on with the business
of serving God.
His
burden is SO much lighter.
|
Matthew 11:28-31
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light. |
HEAVEN BIBLE STUDY SUMMARY
HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES CONCLUSION
In general, this is why children have such great Faith ...
Because they don't know the burdens that the world teaches,
so they travel light, and there's more room for the Holy
Spirit to be their traveling companion, accompanying them
through their day, instead of a big heavy old troubles.
Next time you feel tested, tempted, or tried ... Remember
what James teaches:
|
James 1:2-3
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into
divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of
your Faith worketh patience. |

Heaven Help Us?
Oh
yeah before we go ...
About
that Angel audition ...
{\o/} {\o/} {\o/} {\o/} {\o/} {\o/} {\o/}
I just
wanted to say ... Break a leg!
DISCLAIMER:
For those who do not know ... Break a leg is actually an expression commonly extended to people who are about to audition for something. It doesn't actually mean I want you to "break a leg" ... But, rather just the opposite in fact, it's a sincere hope for success. 😉
Let's continue our journey.
