THIS SIDE? THE OTHER SIDE?
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
LET US GO TO MOUNT NEBO… THERE MOSES WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE… BUT HE IS NOT PERMITTED TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE… THE PROMISE LAND. (AT THIS TIME)
Deuteronomy 34:4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
DON’T ARGUE TOO LONG, MOSES DID SET HIS FEET ON THE MOUNTAIN IN ISRAEL WITH JESUS AND ELIJAH… MOSES SAW THE OTHER SIDE…
Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
GOD HAS A PLAN TO TAKE HIS PEOPLE TO THE OTHER SIDE…40 YARS IN THE DESERT AND IN ONE DAY JOSHUA CROSSES FROM THE DESERT INTO THE OTHER SIDE…THE PROMISE LAND
Joshua 3:3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. 4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore. 5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
PAUL GETS READY FOR THE OTHER SIDE… PAUL IS IN PRISON IN ROME AND HE DOES NOT WANT THE CHURCH TO WORRY ABOUT HIS LOT IN LIFE.
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Paul had experienced many afflictions but yet his JOY WAS FULL. Paul suffered shipwreck, was beaten often, was stoned and Paul was hated by many people. In the midst of this PAUL’S DESIRE WAS TO DO THE WORK OF THE LORD…
WE HAVE MANY THINGS THAT ARE ON THIS SIDE OF LIFE THAT WILL NOT BE KNOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE.THAT WON’T BE IN HEAVEN… (Revelation 21)
THIS SIDE WE KNOW SICKNESS IS A FREQUENT VISITOR: ON THE OTHER SIDE THERE WILL BE NO MORE SICKNESS.
THIS SIDE OF LIFE SEEMS TEARS CAN RUN LIKE A RIVER: IN HEAVEN JESUS WILL DRY UP OUR TEARS. THERE WILL BE NO MORE TEARS.
LIFE AS WE KNOW IT FINDS DEATH’S STING, OUR BELOVED PETS, THE PEOPLE WE LOVE, THE OLDER WE GET THE MORE OFTEN WE VISIT THE FUNERAL HOMES. HEAVEN HAS NO GRAVEYARDS, NO MORE DEATH.
MANS DAYS ARE SHORT AND FULL OF DEEP SORROW. GRIEF! WE ARE SAD BECAUSE OF LOSS. WE KNOW DEEP DISTRESS CAUSED BY DISAPPOINTMENTS AND SUFFERING. THERE WILL BE NO MOURNING/SORROW IN ALL OF HEAVEN’S HISTORY.
HERE ON THIS SIDE WE KNOW TEARS, JESUS PROMISES TO WIPE AWAY OUR TEARS… NO CRYING.
WE FACE SUFFERING MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY… PAIN COMES FROM MANY SOURCES.
PAIN CAN BE CHRONIC AND ACUTE. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE THERE WILL BE NO PAIN.
DARKNESS SEEMS TO HAVE ITS RULE, NO LIGHT, MORE CRIME, MORE DEATH OCCURS DURING DARKNESS, JESUS WILL BE THE LIGHT FOREVER THERE SHINING, THERE WILL BE NO DARKNESS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THERE WERE SEVERAL TEMPLES ON EARTH, BUT THE TEMPLES WERE DESTROYED… IN HEAVEN THERE WILL BE NO TEMPLE, BECAUSE JESUS WILL BE THE TRUE TEMPLE.
CRIME SEEMS TO BE RAMPANT, ALCOHOL, DRUGS, SEXUAL SIN, CRIME SEEMS TO REIGN ON THIS SIDE… IN HEAVEN THERE WILL BE NO CRIME, NO CRIME!
IMMORAL ACTS, BREAKING GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, GOING AGAINST GOD’S LAW… SIN ALIENATES MAN FROM MAN, AND MAN FROM GOD… HIP HIP HOORAY THERE WILL BE NO SIN ON THE OTHER SIDE…
WORRY, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, FEELING OF SADNESS, TO LOSE INTEREST IN LIFE… THERE WILL BE NO DEPRESSION/PANIC ATTACKS THROUGH OUT ETERNITY.
THE GRASS SEEMS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE? IF THIS IS TRUE THE GREENER MEANS THEY HAVE A LARGER SEPTIC TANK? THEY HAVE A BIG WATER BILL? OR THEY PUT GREATER EFFORT AND FERTILIZER THAN YOU DO?
1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
This side of the river we say GOODBYE. We were leaving my great-grandfather’s house. He always disappeared when we left. I saw him hiding in the corn patch and he had his red bandana out. I asked dad to stop the car and let me run back and hug great grandpa… Dad said: NO! He said someday you will understand why Great Grand Pa disappears.
WELL DAD WAS RIGHT… I HATE TO SAY GOOD BYE…. OH, HOW I HATE TO SAY GOODBYE… FAREWELL… HERE AND AT THE GRAVE YARD. BUT NOT ON THE OTHER SIDE.
EVERY THING WE KNOW ON THIS SIDE FADES…
Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The ROSES fade on this side… BREAD MOLDS. Hot gets cold. Cold gets lukewarm.
This side is DIVORCE and broken homes… Nothing shall TEAR US APART…
This side we fight for breath, the other side is celestial air.
This side the world is so beautiful but it is polluted and people are selfish, … but take one glimpse into HEAVEN
NO MORE WARS, STRIFE,,,
TWO SIDES OF JESUS: JESUS THE SON OF MAN --- THE SON OF GOD.
On this side Mary called him JESUS, but on the Father’s side his name is EMMANUEL.
On earth BETHLEHEM was where Jesus was born… But looking from the Father’s side He is from heaven..
On my Mother’s side… he was 12, young boy in the temple… On my father’s side I am eternal --- teaching the teachers in the temple. Jesus was the carpenter’s son… but we know Jesus is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
You can make God smile…
We need you on this side of heaven…
New day to worship and praise…
New day to lift your hands…
DON’T STAY WHERE YOU ARE… COME OUT A LITTLE BIT DEEPER…
Luke 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
JESUS CALLS US: COME TO THE OTHER SIDE: MY DEAR FRIEND THERE IS MORE, STEP OUT A LITTLE DEEPER…
Mark 4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
I am going to keep on until God turns this thing around…. (Unknown)
I am going to press on until God turns this thing around.
You know the devil is on my track trying to hold me back.
But I am going to keep on until God turns this thing around.
I AM GOING TO PRAY ON UNTIL GOD TURNS THIS THING AROUND.
I AM GOING TO RUN ON UNTIL GOD TURNS THIS THING AROUND.
WHEN THE DEVIL SAYS YOU’RE SICK, AND YOUR BODY CAN’T GET WELL.
REBUKE THE DEVIL IN JESUS NAME, SEND HIM BACK TO THE PITS OF HELL.
THE DEVIL’S BEEN ON MY TRACK, TRYING TO HOLD ME BACK.
I AM GOING TO KEEP ON, RUN ON, PRAY ON UNTIL GOD TURNS THIS THING AROUND.
SOMEONE NEEDS A MIRACLE, SOME NEED MONEY TOO…
GOD’S GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED, HE CAN DO WHAT YOU NEED HIM TO DO.
TRUST AND BELIEVE IN GOD AND YOU WILL BE SET FREE ‘CAUSE HE’S GOING TO WORK IT OUT FOR YOU.
Conclusion: The sweet spirit of God is calling us to come to the other side and be deeper in the word and prayer.
