I truly hope it is beyond anything we can imagine here as humans

Otherwise I doubt I'll enjoy it

Hi friend,

I liked your post but i have to ask you,
Do you not now enjoy it?
Even with our sufferings, is there not joy?

I know that's a tough question.. I wreseled with it for many years (and lost!).. Sometimes our Father's will is hard..
But our Lord came and gave meaning to our suffering.. To unite it with His for all those we love..

Even were it this, forever and ever, yes I choose Life!
.
Peace be with you!

I don't feel like I'm growing like i used to. If that answers your question. I wish I was doing more for God now but I'm just not. I'm living a selfish life to be honest. God bless

Oh I'm sure you'll enjoy it and that we'll all enjoy it,.. and I wish that I could give us all a taste of it but I'm not really sure how. The best I can do is take us to a virtual trip to Disneyland lol

Yeah,.. I know how you feel as I've been there myself, but I think we all have at some point in time. :( *Hugs* :)

I think you gave yourself the answer to why youre 'not growing'.

Perhaps its time to do 'more for God' by doing more for those you encounter everyday?

But be careful not to be over scrupulous.. God wants us to enjoy life...

And may He bless you also!

Besides being with Jesus and my friends and family,.. I picture Heaven to be a place where you can play with kittens and puppies whenever you want to, eat as many sweets as you want without having to vomit, seeing beautiful gardens and waterfalls, and living in beautiful white mansions with either beautiful backyards and beaches by them and always being bathed in sunshine and seeing beautiful rainbow colors. :) While also being able to ride the rainbows and walk the streets of gold. :D (Just using my imagination on this one.)


All of what you said and more. It's an individulaized experience in relation to Jesus. With that said, I still hope I get to target shoot with my sniper rifle...FUN, FUN ,FUN! Of course that may be many eternities later.....cause I love the idea of running on streets of GOLD! :p

What Do You Picture Heaven to Be Like?
OP ^

Earth was Created for Good Creatures habitat, that will remain the same.
Heaven was Created for Holy Creatures habitat,
that will remain the same.

Currently there is a Division between Heaven and Earth; A firmament; (Clouds, Water, Sky's).

It's facinating; "we ALL" get glimpses of "ALL" things God has created and made;
Good and Evil
Holy and Unholy

Regardless of our station, status, (Good, Evil, Holy, Unholy)..."ALL" have experienced;
The absolute: Joy, calm, comfort, peace, beauty, pleasantness, sounds, sights, taste, touch, smell....that IS pure Love.

That ^... is my thoughts of what Heaven is Like.
•A "living soul"...Saved BY and unto Gods Design; that: the souls, (the senses/ sound, sight, taste, touch, smell) is Eternally Pleasant.
•A "Born Again Spirit"...Quickened By and unto Gods Design; that; the spirit, (thoughts in the Heart) is Eternally Pleasant, Good and Holy.
•The "Body", changed; its life (no longer, blood, subject to death, disease, corruption)...
Changed to Pure Goodness.

•I believe the Barrier/ Firmament "between" Heaven and Earth" Shall be "removed", and All the "Glimses" of Good and Holy we have "experienced"...Shall BE Eternally ajoined...
•Good and Holy; Creatures and Habitats;
All together "with" their KING,
Lord God Almighty...(available, void of our nonsensical "red tape gobbelgook").
•Experiencing Endless, Peace, Comfort, Joy, Knowledge, Understanding.

•Our Glimpses...(Good and Evil/ Holy and Unholy)....Are "unimaginable" to "envision"...
The "Extent" ...
OF ... a Forever...Beauty & Joy Good and Holy ...
OF ... a Forever...Ugly & Putrid Evil and Unholy...

We simply "have the Glimpses" ... sufficient To MAKE a "choice" for our eternal Destination, as we travel on our "temporary" journey through this blood Life.

God IS an Awesome God! Creating and Making us, and giving us the Authority of FREEWILL, to forever BE With Him, or Not.

Praise and Glory to God,
Taken

What will Heaven be Like?

Currently- Heaven has Divisions.
Highest- Gods Pure Light.
Middle- Holy Angel's Habitat.
Lower- What Earthlings can see.
...........Where Fallen Angel's have Access.

Currently- Earth has Divisions.
•Surface- Man's Habitat
.............Currently occupied by Blood Living mankind, Fallen Angel's, physically dead mankind bodies.
•Middle- Water
•Lower- crusty, dungeon like, extreme heat darkness, unpleasant;
............Currently occupied by departed "Unsaved souls" OF, physically (blood life Dead bodies).
•Deepest- fire pit.
...........Currently occupied by the most "egregious" (having mated with mankind) Fallen Angel's.

•Change to the Heavens and Earth...is coming.
•Same to (parts) of Heaven and Earth...shall remain.

Highest Heaven-
...shall remain, Gods Pure Light
Middle Heaven- Changed-
...void of corruption, impure lying thoughts
Lower Heaven- Changed-
...Void of war, battles, corruption, decay

Lowest Earth-
...shall remain, fire Pit, burning forever, smoke thereof rising up.
...Middle Earth, (?). (Have speculations only...
(indepth, gems, gold, rising to surface, seeds God scattered in the beginning / plants, flowers, pleasant to see, smell, etc. rising up). Water rising, watering plants, as in the beginning/ no rainwater falling from sky).
...Surface Earth, changed
Lush, Beautiful, Garden of Eden Like one could imagine, via given descriptions.
...Trees, that bear Fruit. (To Eat). Every month, the fruit of the same Trees Change.
•The Fruit...is NEW Good Knowledge.
•The Eating...is the Gain of SPIRITUAL Understanding of The new Knowledge.


God Does NOT Destroy the Heaven and Earth.

Yet there Shall Be a NEW Heaven and Earth.

Glory to God,
Taken

I have a YouTube site that is approaching 3 million views (https://www.youtube.com/user/rockytopva). I had what looked like a tall Nigerian thank me for the videos along with comments of spiritual things. Around three nights later I had a vision on my bed. I dreamt that both he and I were in heaven. I looked at myself and I was well dressed and in great shape physically. The surroundings were all like a paradise. The spirit within me was pure joy. When I awoke my first thoughts were.... Wow!

“what do you picture heaven to be like?”
Seeing as Christ sees. Free from all the failures, soul wounds, and distractions that distort the lens through which all is viewed. Seeing things from a clear perspective. I’ve Often wondered about enemies ...if what drives and fuels that hatred so strongly is removed...would they be ashamed and weep at lost relationship over pointless grudges.

That might not makes sense but what I picture Heaven to be like: is Seeing anew. Better communication skills too!
