"Heaven is..... so real!"


This is a title of a book by Choo Thomas. Thou I am not sure about some of the things written in the later part of the book, the phrase heaven is so real strikes a chord. Especialy in these last days God is trying to get our attention and motivate us to get ready and not miss the boat. Many are sleeping and may get bypassed.
 
I think the so real comment is common for anyone who has been blessed to have this experience. Whether it be heaven or hell. I have  heard many others make this comment. I guess it is kind of like experiencing the presence of Christ when you get saved. You know for sure it is so real but to explain it to someone else can be very difficult. It might be like trying to explain an orange to an Eskimo 200 years ago. It is so real because it is permanent, unlike our life now on earth that is temporary.
 
God wants to let us know that heaven is real, not just something made up, not a theory or a fairy tale. It is very very real. So I get excited when I read such accounts. Obviously there are some that are not genuine. Like those who say Jesus is not the only way to heaven. But the claim that some have against Choo goes a bit too far. You forget that Jesus said himself there will be those who are ready and those who are not. The foolish ones will listen to those who will justify their own worldy life styles. Not so, Jesus calls us to be holy for he is holy, that is to follow him and be like him. THis can only happen if we obey him and allow him to be the Lord of our lives. That is the if that many ignore.
 
I think we should be motivated by these testemonies and look at them as an encouragement to give Jesus our all.
