Heaven… Here and Now!

The day was like any other… but on this day I had to spend a lot of time behind the windshield.  As always I listened to God music. However, this day it all came together in my mind. In a place in my soul… that only God can reach.  I felt a peace that passes understanding.  The kind of peace that makes you one with God the father. One with Christ the son. One with the spirit that engulfs both.  I thought of all the people in my life.  From beginning to now.  So many amazing people, who have crossed my path. People who have touched my heart… my life.  I thought of all the amazing experiences I have had a chance to be exposed to.  Places I have seen and worlds I have encountered.  I suddenly saw Christ in everyone.  The drivers in the other cars.  The people walking along the street.  The ones I talked with when I made stops. I saw God in each tree and each flower.  When Jesus talked of the kingdom of God he was not talking of heaven.  He was talking of his reign here and now, on this earth.  I was experiencing that kingdom… that reign of God.  When we allow the spirit to guide us.  To talk to our soul.  When we allow Jesus to invade our being, we experience the kingdom of God.  It is here all around us. I do believe heaven is waiting, but I also believe heaven is here and now.  We simply have to allow the spirit to guide us there.  

Luke 17:20  

Happy New Year!

Living Without Judgement!

I could not help but overhear her discussion.  She was sitting right next to me.  She turned in my direction and seeing I was a minister moved forward with her conversation, which was now directed to me.  As she told me her story my first thought was “Why would you want to live that way”….

Healing!

He had waited so long.  For lack of hope, he knew not what to do, but try the water.  If he could only be the first to touch the moving water maybe he would be healed.  A lifetime of not being able to use his legs was almost more than he could bear.  Then came…

Christ Heart! – JoJo

He doesn’t even know it!    I simply watched as this young man went around shining the love of Christ to others from the center of his heart.  There are times you run across those that even without very much knowledge of scripture, or exposure to our Savior, God blesses them with a heart of…

Love Never Rest!

As my wife and I got our room assignment I was surprised when I saw the number.  Thirty six floors is a long way up!  As I stand at the window, looking over Denver, I see many highways full of cars. Each with people in them.  I look down and thousands of people are moving…

Climbing The Mountain!

Do you ever have a week… or two… or five… where you wonder what went wrong?  Did the moon and stars forget to orbit? Was there a shift in the balance of nature that caused everything to go haywire?  My last two months I have felt as though satan is punching me in the head….
