[applause]
00:03:28.552 --> 00:03:33.991
The bible leaves us
00:03:34.425 --> 00:03:35.126
The bible leaves us in breathless wonder of what
00:03:35.192 --> 00:03:38.763
In breathless wonder of what awaits us in a place
00:03:38.829 --> 00:03:41.399
Awaits us in a place that is called heaven.
00:03:41.465 --> 00:03:43.934
That is called heaven. in the bible we're told
00:03:44.001 --> 00:03:46.871
In the bible we're told that paul in 2 corinthians 12
00:03:46.937 --> 00:03:49.674
That paul in 2 corinthians 12 took a trip.
00:03:49.740 --> 00:03:51.909
Took a trip. by god he was taken,
00:03:51.976 --> 00:03:55.246
By god he was taken, and he said,
00:03:55.313 --> 00:03:56.013
And he said, "whether i went in the spirit
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.581
"whether i went in the spirit or i went in the body,
00:03:57.648 --> 00:03:58.816
Or i went in the body, i cannot tell,"
00:03:58.883 --> 00:03:59.950
I cannot tell," which is an amazing
00:04:00.017 --> 00:04:01.285
Which is an amazing little insight there that
00:04:01.352 --> 00:04:03.087
Little insight there that people can go to heaven
00:04:03.154 --> 00:04:06.957
People can go to heaven in their spirit.
00:04:07.024 --> 00:04:07.792
In their spirit. of course,
00:04:07.858 --> 00:04:08.726
Of course, when they die goes to heaven,
00:04:08.793 --> 00:04:11.062
When they die goes to heaven, but people also can be
00:04:11.128 --> 00:04:12.863
But people also can be taken by god a physical body
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:15.599
Taken by god a physical body to heaven and have
00:04:15.666 --> 00:04:17.401
To heaven and have an insight like he got.
00:04:17.468 --> 00:04:19.070
An insight like he got. and he said,
00:04:19.136 --> 00:04:19.503
And he said, "i went to heaven.
00:04:19.570 --> 00:04:21.472
"i went to heaven. i saw it.
00:04:21.539 --> 00:04:22.340
I saw it. i saw things."
00:04:22.406 --> 00:04:23.774
I saw things." and then he made
00:04:23.841 --> 00:04:24.275
And then he made this statement,
00:04:24.342 --> 00:04:25.242
This statement, "i saw things that are
00:04:25.309 --> 00:04:27.511
"i saw things that are not lawful to even utter.
00:04:27.578 --> 00:04:32.049
Not lawful to even utter. i saw and i was forbidden
00:04:32.116 --> 00:04:34.919
I saw and i was forbidden by the angel,
00:04:34.985 --> 00:04:36.620
By the angel, 'you are not to tell this
00:04:36.687 --> 00:04:38.856
'you are not to tell this and you're not to write this.'"
00:04:38.923 --> 00:04:40.758
And you're not to write this.'" god has some sacred secrets that
00:04:40.825 --> 00:04:43.594
God has some sacred secrets that he's holding back in
00:04:43.661 --> 00:04:45.396
He's holding back in the place called heaven.
00:04:45.463 --> 00:04:46.864
The place called heaven. and he said,
00:04:46.931 --> 00:04:47.598
And he said, "i wanna surprise them.
00:04:47.665 --> 00:04:49.667
"i wanna surprise them. i don't want them
00:04:49.734 --> 00:04:50.301
I don't want them to have a clue.
00:04:50.368 --> 00:04:51.669
To have a clue. i'll let you see some
00:04:51.736 --> 00:04:52.603
I'll let you see some of the things
00:04:52.670 --> 00:04:53.637
Of the things that i'll show you,
00:04:53.704 --> 00:04:55.239
That i'll show you, but i want you to know
00:04:55.306 --> 00:04:56.941
But i want you to know that some of the things
00:04:57.007 --> 00:04:58.442
That some of the things up here, it's not lawful."
00:04:58.509 --> 00:05:00.177
Up here, it's not lawful." but paul said,
00:05:00.244 --> 00:05:01.812
But paul said, "all i can tell you
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.114
"all i can tell you is my eyes have not seen
00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:06.150
Is my eyes have not seen my ears have not heard,
00:05:06.217 --> 00:05:07.985
My ears have not heard, neither has it entered
00:05:08.052 --> 00:05:09.220
Neither has it entered into the heart of man.
00:05:09.286 --> 00:05:11.055
Into the heart of man. what god has prepared for them
00:05:11.122 --> 00:05:13.858
What god has prepared for them who love him."
00:05:13.924 --> 00:05:16.360
Who love him." you see there are more
00:05:16.427 --> 00:05:17.995
You see there are more facts about heaven than
00:05:18.062 --> 00:05:20.698
Facts about heaven than we realize.
00:05:20.765 --> 00:05:22.666
We realize. heaven is a real place.
00:05:22.733 --> 00:05:24.802
Heaven is a real place. heaven is not a condition,
00:05:24.869 --> 00:05:26.837
Heaven is not a condition, it's not a mindset,
00:05:26.904 --> 00:05:28.205
It's not a mindset, it's not a state of mind.
00:05:28.272 --> 00:05:30.508
It's not a state of mind. paul said,
00:05:30.574 --> 00:05:31.108
Paul said, "i was caught up into paradise,
00:05:31.175 --> 00:05:33.878
"i was caught up into paradise, which is the third heaven."
00:05:33.944 --> 00:05:36.647
Which is the third heaven." you see, the third heaven
00:05:36.714 --> 00:05:38.516
You see, the third heaven is in reference
00:05:38.582 --> 00:05:39.984
Is in reference to where heaven is.
00:05:40.050 --> 00:05:44.221
To where heaven is. heaven is northward.
00:05:44.288 --> 00:05:47.892
Heaven is northward. it says in isaiah 14,
00:05:47.958 --> 00:05:50.895
It says in isaiah 14, lucifer was in heaven
00:05:50.961 --> 00:05:52.830
Lucifer was in heaven in the throne room of heaven,
00:05:52.897 --> 00:05:54.965
In the throne room of heaven, which sits in the sides
00:05:55.032 --> 00:05:56.167
Which sits in the sides of the north of heaven.
00:05:56.233 --> 00:05:58.903
Of the north of heaven. throughout the scriptures
00:05:58.969 --> 00:06:00.137
Throughout the scriptures the bible tells us that
00:06:00.204 --> 00:06:01.739
The bible tells us that the position,
00:06:01.806 --> 00:06:02.540
The position, the north star is
00:06:02.606 --> 00:06:04.375
The north star is the highest star
00:06:04.442 --> 00:06:06.177
The highest star and it is the fixed position.
00:06:06.243 --> 00:06:08.512
And it is the fixed position. it's interesting that god dwells
00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:11.148
It's interesting that god dwells in the north,
00:06:11.215 --> 00:06:12.316
In the north, in the heavens.
00:06:12.383 --> 00:06:13.951
In the heavens. and the third heaven
00:06:14.018 --> 00:06:15.152
And the third heaven is a description of where
00:06:15.219 --> 00:06:17.455
Is a description of where jesus in his physical body
00:06:17.521 --> 00:06:20.858
Jesus in his physical body resides even as i speak.
00:06:20.925 --> 00:06:24.829
Resides even as i speak. you see the north is found
00:06:24.895 --> 00:06:26.931
You see the north is found over and over in scriptures.
00:06:26.997 --> 00:06:29.533
Over and over in scriptures. the bible said,
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.434
The bible said, for example,
00:06:30.501 --> 00:06:31.502
For example, in leviticus 1:11,
00:06:31.569 --> 00:06:34.505
In leviticus 1:11, when they were commanded
00:06:34.572 --> 00:06:35.806
When they were commanded to offer the sacrifice,
00:06:35.873 --> 00:06:37.141
To offer the sacrifice, even under the old covenant,
00:06:37.208 --> 00:06:39.043
Even under the old covenant, they were to kill the sacrifice
00:06:39.109 --> 00:06:41.078
They were to kill the sacrifice northward toward the lord.
00:06:41.145 --> 00:06:44.648
Northward toward the lord. psalm 75 says,
00:06:44.715 --> 00:06:46.484
Psalm 75 says, "promotion does not come
00:06:46.550 --> 00:06:48.486
"promotion does not come from the east,
00:06:48.552 --> 00:06:49.653
From the east, from the south,
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:50.921
From the south, or from the west,"
00:06:50.988 --> 00:06:52.189
Or from the west," but notice it doesn't
00:06:52.256 --> 00:06:53.357
But notice it doesn't say not from the north,
00:06:53.424 --> 00:06:55.226
Say not from the north, "but it comes from god."
00:06:55.292 --> 00:06:57.895
"but it comes from god." there are three heavens.
00:06:57.962 --> 00:06:59.797
There are three heavens. the first heaven
00:06:59.864 --> 00:07:00.764
The first heaven is where the birds fly.
00:07:00.831 --> 00:07:02.333
Is where the birds fly. it's what we see when
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.501
It's what we see when we walk out on a beautiful day
00:07:03.567 --> 00:07:05.469
We walk out on a beautiful day like we're seeing here
00:07:05.536 --> 00:07:07.304
Like we're seeing here and you look up into the sky
00:07:07.371 --> 00:07:09.139
And you look up into the sky and you can see all the blue sky
00:07:09.206 --> 00:07:12.009
And you can see all the blue sky as far as your eye can see.
00:07:12.076 --> 00:07:13.978
As far as your eye can see. that's the first heaven.
00:07:14.044 --> 00:07:15.679
That's the first heaven. the second heaven
00:07:15.746 --> 00:07:16.881
The second heaven is the stars of heaven.
00:07:16.947 --> 00:07:18.949
Is the stars of heaven. it's where the moon is
00:07:19.016 --> 00:07:20.384
It's where the moon is and the stars and the galaxies.
00:07:20.451 --> 00:07:23.220
And the stars and the galaxies. but there is a
00:07:23.287 --> 00:07:24.088
But there is a third heaven,
00:07:24.154 --> 00:07:25.789
Third heaven, and that third heaven
00:07:25.856 --> 00:07:27.591
And that third heaven is the abode of god.
00:07:27.658 --> 00:07:29.560
Is the abode of god. jesus is there on
00:07:29.627 --> 00:07:31.529
Jesus is there on a throne bodily.
00:07:31.595 --> 00:07:34.498
A throne bodily. the bible teaches this, bodily.
00:07:34.565 --> 00:07:36.834
The bible teaches this, bodily. he rose from the dead
00:07:36.901 --> 00:07:38.636
He rose from the dead bodily and he said,
00:07:38.702 --> 00:07:40.905
Bodily and he said, "my body is there with scars
00:07:40.971 --> 00:07:43.874
"my body is there with scars and wounds as proof
00:07:43.941 --> 00:07:45.809
And wounds as proof of the covenant that
00:07:45.876 --> 00:07:47.077
Of the covenant that bought you at calvary."
00:07:47.144 --> 00:07:49.713
Bought you at calvary." and he is there,
00:07:49.780 --> 00:07:51.749
And he is there, and the first heaven
00:07:51.815 --> 00:07:53.083
And the first heaven we see by day.
00:07:53.150 --> 00:07:55.386
We see by day. it's everything you can see in
00:07:55.452 --> 00:07:57.821
It's everything you can see in the sky as far as you
00:07:57.888 --> 00:07:59.023
The sky as far as you can see it.
00:07:59.089 --> 00:08:00.457
Can see it. the second heaven,
00:08:00.524 --> 00:08:02.026
The second heaven, we see by night,
00:08:02.092 --> 00:08:03.994
We see by night, the third heaven,
00:08:04.061 --> 00:08:05.129
The third heaven, you only see by faith.
00:08:05.195 --> 00:08:07.298
You only see by faith. that is the place where god
00:08:07.364 --> 00:08:10.267
That is the place where god has promised to take us.
00:08:10.334 --> 00:08:13.737
Has promised to take us. the saved go to heaven
00:08:13.804 --> 00:08:15.005
The saved go to heaven immediately upon death.
00:08:15.072 --> 00:08:18.175
Immediately upon death. immediately.
00:08:18.242 --> 00:08:19.176
Immediately. to be absent from the body is
00:08:19.243 --> 00:08:21.779
To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord.
00:08:21.845 --> 00:08:23.714
To be present with the lord. the bible teaches in many
00:08:23.781 --> 00:08:25.015
The bible teaches in many of the parables and stories
00:08:25.082 --> 00:08:27.117
Of the parables and stories that jesus told the rich man
00:08:27.184 --> 00:08:29.086
That jesus told the rich man and the beggar
00:08:29.153 --> 00:08:30.554
And the beggar angels are assigned.
00:08:30.621 --> 00:08:32.456
Angels are assigned. i don't think we really
00:08:32.523 --> 00:08:34.391
I don't think we really understand the power
00:08:34.458 --> 00:08:35.526
Understand the power of the spirit world
00:08:35.593 --> 00:08:36.927
Of the spirit world and the role that angels
00:08:36.994 --> 00:08:39.129
And the role that angels over and over and over
00:08:39.196 --> 00:08:40.965
Over and over and over are talked about,
00:08:41.031 --> 00:08:42.132
Are talked about, especially in a person's death.
00:08:42.199 --> 00:08:44.368
Especially in a person's death. that angel is assigned to take
00:08:44.435 --> 00:08:47.104
That angel is assigned to take the spirit of that person who
00:08:47.171 --> 00:08:48.906
The spirit of that person who dies and take them
00:08:48.973 --> 00:08:50.908
Dies and take them and escort them into heaven.
00:08:50.975 --> 00:08:54.745
And escort them into heaven. immediately a person
00:08:54.812 --> 00:08:56.680
Immediately a person will go into heaven.
00:08:56.747 --> 00:08:58.916
Will go into heaven. stephen, when he was dying
00:08:58.983 --> 00:09:00.784
Stephen, when he was dying being stoned,
00:09:00.851 --> 00:09:01.819
Being stoned, the first martyr,
00:09:01.885 --> 00:09:02.953
The first martyr, looked up and saw heaven
00:09:03.020 --> 00:09:05.589
Looked up and saw heaven and jesus was standing
00:09:05.656 --> 00:09:07.858
And jesus was standing because he went
00:09:07.925 --> 00:09:09.193
Because he went immediately to heaven.
00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:11.362
Immediately to heaven. philippians 1:23, paul said,
00:09:11.428 --> 00:09:14.798
Philippians 1:23, paul said, "i have a desire to
00:09:14.865 --> 00:09:16.634
"i have a desire to depart and be with christ
00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:21.372
Depart and be with christ which is," notice these words,
00:09:21.438 --> 00:09:23.574
Which is," notice these words, "far better."
00:09:23.641 --> 00:09:26.343
"far better." he said,
00:09:26.410 --> 00:09:26.677
He said, "i went up there
00:09:26.744 --> 00:09:27.645
"i went up there and i came back."
00:09:27.711 --> 00:09:29.279
And i came back." and he said,
00:09:29.346 --> 00:09:30.581
And he said, "i've been back
00:09:30.648 --> 00:09:31.515
"i've been back and to live is christ,
00:09:31.582 --> 00:09:33.550
And to live is christ, but i'm gon' tell
00:09:33.617 --> 00:09:34.485
But i'm gon' tell you what i learned,
00:09:34.551 --> 00:09:35.452
You what i learned, to die is gain."
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.855
To die is gain." and that doesn't mean
00:09:37.921 --> 00:09:38.889
And that doesn't mean that we don't live life full,
00:09:38.956 --> 00:09:40.658
That we don't live life full, we don't dream,
00:09:40.724 --> 00:09:41.625
We don't dream, we don't live like --
00:09:41.692 --> 00:09:43.594
We don't live like -- we ought to be dreaming
00:09:43.661 --> 00:09:44.828
We ought to be dreaming of living to 85.
00:09:44.895 --> 00:09:46.530
Of living to 85. when i'm 85,
00:09:46.597 --> 00:09:47.297
When i'm 85, i'mma take my teeth out
00:09:47.364 --> 00:09:48.766
I'mma take my teeth out of a glass
00:09:48.832 --> 00:09:50.801
Of a glass and put them in
00:09:50.868 --> 00:09:51.468
And put them in and get up here and preach
00:09:51.535 --> 00:09:52.302
And get up here and preach if the lord gives me
00:09:52.369 --> 00:09:53.470
If the lord gives me a healthy body.
00:09:53.537 --> 00:09:55.239
A healthy body. amen.
00:09:55.305 --> 00:09:56.640
Amen. but i tell you, whatever is
00:09:56.707 --> 00:09:59.243
But i tell you, whatever is awaiting us,
00:09:59.309 --> 00:10:00.110
Awaiting us, the bible said it is far better.
00:10:00.177 --> 00:10:03.647
The bible said it is far better. and some of you say,
00:10:03.714 --> 00:10:04.481
And some of you say, "well, i just don't wanna
00:10:04.548 --> 00:10:05.215
"well, i just don't wanna leave this world.
00:10:05.282 --> 00:10:05.983
Leave this world. i love this world.
00:10:06.050 --> 00:10:06.650
I love this world. i'm having so much fun."
00:10:06.717 --> 00:10:08.419
I'm having so much fun." but if you know god
00:10:08.485 --> 00:10:10.454
But if you know god created you and he created
00:10:10.521 --> 00:10:11.922
Created you and he created this earth and paul
00:10:11.989 --> 00:10:14.058
This earth and paul said it's far better.
00:10:14.124 --> 00:10:16.293
Said it's far better. you have no idea.
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.961
You have no idea. there's nothing like
00:10:18.028 --> 00:10:19.363
There's nothing like what awaits the believer.
00:10:19.430 --> 00:10:21.131
What awaits the believer. there is nothing that compares
00:10:21.198 --> 00:10:24.201
There is nothing that compares down here in any way, shape,
00:10:24.268 --> 00:10:26.537
Down here in any way, shape, form or fashion.
00:10:26.603 --> 00:10:28.772
Form or fashion. everything will be better,
00:10:28.839 --> 00:10:30.441
Everything will be better, far better.
00:10:30.507 --> 00:10:34.411
Far better. hallelujah.
00:10:34.478 --> 00:10:36.180
Hallelujah. "we see through a glass darkly,"
