Morning with Ebenezer

THE BLESSED PLACE OF NO MORE

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of [angels,  to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

Hebrews 12:22-24 NASB

There is a comforting list in the 21 Chapter of the Book of Revelation from verse 1-25, and Revelation 22:3. Based on this comforting list, some have described heaven as the blessed place of no more. The Bible uses the word no more in this chapter showing that the old things will pass away and behold God will create new things.

There are twelve things that will not be there:
1. no more sea-because all chaos and disorder (symbolized by the sea in ancient times) will be gone (Rev 21:1)
2. no more tears-because all hurt will be removed (Rev 21:4)
3. no more death-because mortality is swallowed up by life ( Rev 21:4)
4. no more mourning-because all sorrow will be perfectly comforted ( Rev 21:4)
5. no more crying-because joy will reign supreme (Rev 21:4)
6. no more pain-because all diseases will be expelled ( Rev 21:4)
7. no more thirst-because every desire will be satisfied (Rev 21:6)
8. no more wickedness-because all evil will be banished (Rev 21:8, 27)
9. no more Temple-because God will be everywhere (Rev 21:22)
10. no more night-because the glory of God will shine (Rev 21:23-25;22:5)
11. no more closed gates-because God's door will always be open (Rev 21:25)
12. no more curse-because the death of Christ has lifted it( Rev 22:3) [ THE END, Mark Hitchcock]

This morning, God wants you to know that you have a choice to make in this life. If you will spend the all eternity in a blessed place of no more or a cursed place of much more. In hell there will be much more pain, tears, hurt, crying, thirst, wickedness, second death and the lake of fire in advance.

You can choice to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior that you may spend the all eternity with God. If you will reject Him just know you automatically choice to spend the whole eternity with the devil, his fallen angels, demons, antichrist, false prophet and all who rejected His call in this life.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Word. Lord I pray that all people should know that I have chosen You. I have chosen to spend the whole eternity with You Lord. Help me to live the life worth of my choice; that one day I may inherit your Kingdom. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
