3 Ways to Bring Heaven to Earth

by Tonja Taylor  
4/20/2022 / Christian Living

"Heaven on earth" is the Presence of God, Who is Love (I John 4:8). Love is what we are created to experience, and the most we experience God, the more we understand and enjoy Love! 

Who (what true Believer in Jesus Christ, anyway) does not want a Heavenly life? 

The LORD makes it easy (which was always His plan, staring with the Garden of Eden in Genesis 1!) for us to have days of Heaven upon earth--a taste of what it will be like when we are with Him forever in Heaven! Hallelujah!

When the LORD draws us by His Spirit and brings us to saving faith in the LORD Jesus Christ, during which we realize our sin and deep need to be forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus, then we receive Christ Jesus as our Savior and LORD (John 3:14-17). We are sealed for Heaven by the Holy Spirit, and Christ Jesus--the Essence of Heaven!--comes into our hearts to live with us forever. 

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,--II Timothy 1:10, NKJV

…21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us, 22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.--II Corinthians 1:21-22, Berean Study Bible

Hallelujah! 

Here are three ways that can definitely help you experience more of Heaven on earth:

(1) Read and study, speak, and memorize God's Word. 

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.…20 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.…--Deuteronomy 11:18-21, Berean Study Bible

(2) Worship the LORD. Ultimately, this means in every area of life--to use the wisdom He gives us (His Word!) to consecrate ourselves to His will and His way--which is, of course, the very best life for us, His kids; which brings honor and blessing and abundance!

…17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me early shall find me. 18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and righteousness.  19 My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.…--Proverbs 8:17-18, Berean Study Bible

He is the God of Heaven and earth (Genesis 1), and our Father Who has adopted us on purpose, to lavish His Love on us for eternity! Hallelujah!

 “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven or on earth,  keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. --2 Corinthians 6:14, Berean Study Bible

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.--John 4:24, KJV

…4 But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”…Galatians 4:4-6, Berean Study Bible

(3) Praise Him and be thankful for all of His goodness--all the days of your life! 

The LORD deserves and honors our appreciation of Him! He alone is worthy of the highest praise! Also, of course, it's a win-win; when we praise the LORD, our minds are set on Him and positives, and we feel better--which is part of Heaven on earth! 

4 Enter His gates w ith thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name. 5 For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.--Psalm 100:4-5, Berean Study Bible 

…17Pray without ceasing. 18 Give thanks in every circumstance, for  this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.  19 Do not extinguish the Spirit.…--I Thessalonians 5:17-19, Berean Study Bible

But You are holy, O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].--Psalm 22:3, AMP

So enjoy more of Heaven on earth from now on--and teach others how!
