Posted : 4 Aug, 2011 11:51 AM Fellowship with God is the highest, purest, sweetest mercy a saint of God can have on earth. Yes, it is also the highest, purest, sweetest bliss the saints of God can have in heaven. What is the enjoyment of heaven? Not merely exemption from trial, freedom from sorrow, rest from toil, and release from conflict. Oh no! it is the presence of our Father there�his full unclouded presence! To be with Christ, to behold his glory, to gaze upon his face, to hear his voice, to feel the throbbing of his bosom, to bask in the radiance of God's presence� oh, this is heaven, the heaven of heaven! We have the dawn of this glory here on earth. "I am not alone," each sorrowful and banished soul can exclaim, "for the Father is with me" (John 16:32). Yes, beloved, your own Father! "To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). In Jesus God is your Father, your reconciled, pacified Father. All the thoughts that he thinks of you are peace. All the ways that he takes with you are love. The presence, the voice, the smile of a loving father, how precious and soothing! Especially when that presence is realized, that voice is heard, and that smile is seen in the dark, desolate hour of adversity. God is our heavenly Father. His presence, his care, his smiles are ever with his children. And if there is a single child of the one family that more richly shares in the blessing of the Father's presence than another, it is the sick, the suffering, the lone, the chastened child. Yes, your Father is ever with you. He is with you to cheer your loneliness, to sweeten your solitude, to sanctify your sorrow, to strengthen your weakness, to shield your person, to pardon your sins, and to heal all your diseases. Listen, in your deep solitude, to his own touching words: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isa. 41:10). Enough, my Father! if you thus are with me, then I am not alone. I cannot be alone. And if such is the bliss with which you do sweeten and the glory with which you do illuminate the solitude of your hidden ones, then Lord, let me ever be a hidden one�shut out from all others, shut in alone with you!

Posted : 4 Aug, 2011 05:14 PM Its not a few who declare heaven is for only Gods elect but by God himself. I can not help if you do not believe God's word, and like to put your human twist on his word, but God declares what he declares to those he chooses to open their understanding. Deuteronomy 10:14,15 Psalm 33:12 Ps 106:5 Matt. 22:14 Matt 24:22,24,31 Luke 18:7 Romans 8:28-30, 8:33 Romans 11:28 Colossians 3:2 I Thessalonians 5:9 Titus 1:1 I Peter1:1-2 I Peter 2:8-9 Revelations 17:14 From the beginning of the Bible to the end of the Bible God declares his doctrine of election, some are blind but he did say he would do his pleasure not yours PJ.

Posted : 4 Aug, 2011 05:34 PM You PJ must have big problems with God if you deny what he says. Try reading his word without skipping the words you Armenians don't like for a change. Post Reply

Posted : 4 Aug, 2011 11:30 PM I have no problem with my father, at all, he never said what Calvinist try to say he said, No my question to you why is you say I am wrong when I do not agree with you, and stay with the word Jesus. Btw the way the tulip is in complete denial of the law of faith. Post Reply
