Heaven's Borders on Earth

Sunday, May 30, 2021

When we speak about going home, crossing the Jordan, coming to the Promised Land, we're speaking about going to heaven. Therefore the wilderness is a symbol of the place that we go through to get to the Promised Land - to Heaven (which is this life right now.) The Hebrews journeyed through the wilderness, crossed over and went into the Promised Land. But there was one wilderness, the Negev, which was part of and inside the Promised Land, itself. If the Promised Land is a shadow of heaven and the wilderness is a shadow of this life, it means that heaven and this life are much closer together than you may think. If you're a believer, heaven begins now. Even in the wilderness, the dry times, in the hard times, and in sorrows you can find heaven. Whatever you're going through in this journey, if you're born again, God is going through it with you and makes it heaven. Learn to see the good in all things. Live in the heavenlies now because the Promised Land is also in the wilderness, and heaven is also in your life now.
