The Nine Blessings Of Heaven.

The Nine Blessings Of Heaven.

Revelation 1.1-3,9

I know I spoke on the 10 benefits of heaven but I wanted to follow up with these nine blessings of heaven.

-So are you ready?

These nine blessings of heaven–– these 9 joyous advantages, we will experience in the eternal presence of our Lord.

Some of my favorite words are found in, Revelation 1.1-3, 9NKJV The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.”

9 “I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

A BBC producer, who was planning a series of broadcast on what Christians believe, asked a clergyman how he could determine the churches views on heaven and hell?

The clergyman replied with a single word, Die.

The only problem with that is, if you waited that long, it’s too late to change your mind. There are no do overs, in eternity.

Hebrews 9.27KJV “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

Therefore, we need to know what God’s Word teaches us about heaven as early in life as possible, so that we can experience all the beauty, benefits, and blessings of heaven in this life, as well as in the next.

Blessing number 1. No more temptation.

I’ve been a little discouraged lately with some of my so called Bible hero’s. Some mega ministries tricked and seduced by the enemy.

However, Once we get to heaven, we will truly and finally be free.

-Free from oppression and temptation.

-Free from Satan‘s fiery darts. -Free from Satan‘s attack on our relationships, -free from suspicion and resentment and misunderstanding.

Praise God, a day is coming when all of Satan‘s attacks, oppression, and temptations will come to an end!

Blessing number 2. No more loss.

To arrive in heaven is to arrive home.

This earthly life is checkered with losses. We are constantly suffering the parting ways.

I noticed that when I was younger, I wasn’t aware, but now that I’m older I begin to see people my age departing. PH.

However, there’s coming a day when we will never again suffer loss.

Although the apostle Paul was a great man of God, he suffered loss.

2 Corinthians 12:1-10NIV “I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. 5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, 7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

The 3rd Blessing from heaven is, No more tears.

While on this earth, life has been described as a vile of tears, or a valley of weeping.

Psalm 84.6NLT When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.

However, Revelation, 21.4 tells us that, In heaven, God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
