Throughout my life every time I’ve strayed from the faith and gone off to do my own thing God would always be in my conscience pleading me to return to Him. I could never rest easy at night knowing I was living a life separate from Him. Walking with Jesus gives me so much security! It means I know my life has meaning, I’m aligning my will with His, and death has lost its sting! Thank you Lord Jesus!
The wedding supper of the Lamb. I had a similar upbringing as Greg. My parents couldn't handle me so I was sent to my grandparents. My grandfather was a strict disciplinarian and my grandmother was the master chef. Her spaghetti sauce was AWESOME! However, it is Jesus I long to see. My Abba Father.
I am assured that I will be in heaven thanks to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior! As wonderful as heaven will be, Jesus Christ is heaven's ultimate center piece!✝️✝️✝️
It probably won’t happen while we are here on earth, so I will say to you that I’m excited to meet you in person I’m HEAVEN! I absolutely love your ministry and gain so much insight from your lessons and humor. Thank you!❤
I discovered Greg a few months back and have been listening to his sermons every chance i get. I think i can recite most of his jokes and illustrations along with him :)
Thank you Pastor Laurie for such clear sermon of what Heaven will be like and who we need to get there! Amen to Jesus for forgiving our sins & promising us eternal paradise! I have a small request, if you would be so kind enough to preach about the rapture & the end times, because I think we all need to hear & be ready for when Jesus meets us in the clouds to take us to Heaven.
"Thank you Pastor Laurie for such clear sermon of what Heaven will be like...."* Pastor Laurie can't tell us what Heaven will be like, I. S., because the Bible does not tell us what Heaven will be like. I hate to say this but he is making it up as he goes along.
Amen amen there is a place where we live forever and ever and the excited part is that we can see and meet jesus face to face and reunion with our loved ones
Absolutely living with God and Jesus is a true believers heaven. Doesn’t matter if it’s in a desert or paradise. Spending eternity with our God and Savior will be the ultimate happiness.
*"...there is a place where we live forever and ever...."* Yes, there is a place where Christians will live forever and ever, M. M. It is called Earth.
God loves laughter. He loves you Greg. "Moses can you pass the Manna?" Sure Greg and pass Me and Noah a Cork Screw we're having a terrible time over here.
Amen Greg this is my favorite subject as I know you have said it is yours. I wish my church spoke more in depth of paradise of our new bodies and discuss what it will be like what we think we can do, but we dont want to neglect all the other important lessons as well. When it comes to our dwelling places in Heaven, it's going to be far far far more amazing than we have seen here, our homes will be better than you see filthy rich celebs living in now.
Fables , I'm shocked to hear this . We're is GOD'S WORD 🙋 The Bible says there is no end to their fables their stories . It is amazing the direction there's a lot of these preachers have taken . We need to get back to what really matters and that's the cross Jesus Christ and Jesus said take up your cross and follow me . One word lavishness
He often does, but talking about our eternal home is interesting. If you are not interested in the next life that is your business but keep it to yourself. Where in this vid did he not talk about the cross? We dont get too Heaven without being forgiven without Jesus Christ and accepting that he died on the cross for our sins and that we must be willing to die as well. People like you are not saved.
*"Heaven is real for you and I"* Yes, heaven is real but heaven is not for you and me. Not according to the Psalmist, anyway. ✴ _The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence._ (Psalms 115: 16-17, BSB)
What I don’t understand about Heaven is are we going to talk to Jesus whenever we want because theres only one of Him and so many of us, like will we have to wait out turn to talk to Him?
Hello - After The Other Side (the in-between dimension between incarnations) there are many dimensions (Mansions), each being the level EARNED by one's particular frequency of spiritual development after attaining the fifth in body and soul after which it is no longer possible to have a physical body.

Pastor Greg, could you plz preach / teach us about what is happening to ppl who have died before the rapture? Where are they? What are they doing now? I would like to know, I have my dear ones who have passed on recently and I often wonder about them and miss them terribly.
*Q.* "...what is happening to ppl who have died before the rapture? *A.* Nothing is happening to them, Daniella. They are dead. *Q.* Where are they? *A.* They are in the grave. *Q.* What are they doing now? *A.* Nothing.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
Did you ever hear the hymn. HEAVEN CAME DOWN AND GLORY FILLED THIS PLACE...My experience has been either NEW JERUSALEM coming down and it does come but also it is manifest....and it's so REAL...i.e. SURREAL when you are talking about it but more REAL than REAL when YOU ARE THERE...AND ITS KAIROS and I believe that the more you experience it you are a KAIROS TIME TRAVELER...I've never had the sense that angels took me there but they might have...I've seen and had Divne Encounters with angels and sometimes they just show up where I am...and I know them..I am or have been already acquainted with them SOMEHOW...MATTHEW 5:8 is a pre-requisite....POWER!!!!
yes ... i am trying hard to reconcile all this talk of how wonderful heaven is , and yet, here are the marters kept in a box, under the alter ... i am having a-lot of trouble with this
ohh I never thought about this, that would make sense. I will have to ponder on this. I found two verses that support your view and another verse that supports we are the bride Revelation 19:7-9 and the other view Revelation 21:2. It sees like both city and the people are the bride of Christ Revelation 21:2
In Heaven I rather not remember the pain and failures in walking with the Lord,particularly before I was saved. The marriage in Heaven is not a earthly arrangement, i believe it's a symbolic covenant union to Jesus Christ himself.
Baptism is being born again with the Holy Spirit. Public Baptism is a public display of your faith :) (The thief on the cross wasn't baptized nor are people who accept Jesus on their deathbeds)
Pretty sure it still says you need to be baptized perhaps it is necessary after he died and rose again. The thief had no way of being baptized Jesus has the power and was right next too him of course he can forgive him, but I'm still pretty sure the bible says in order to be saved you must be baptized. If Jesus was willing to be baptized and the heavens opened up too him, I think it's safer to do what Jesus did.
*Q.* "Will My tattoos on my earthly body be on my new body?" *A.* The Bible says that the resurrected body is very different from our earthly body, Cynthia. It compares our earthly body to a single kernel of corn and our resurrected body to a full grown corn plant .. roots, stalk, leaves, ears, etc. In other words, it will be very, very different from our earthly body. I can't wait!

I love your analogy Pastor Greg. You explained it in a way we can all understand. Thank you!
The bible gives a few clues of what Heaven is, however a city with garden landscapes is written about it.
Heaven is real for you and I

I like you so much that want to be in your church every Sunday. However, I'm in Philly.
Time for believers that made it is irrelevant once your there.
What I don’t understand about Heaven is are we going to talk to Jesus whenever we want because theres only one of Him and so many of us, like will we have to wait out turn to talk to Him?
That’s truly a question that i also wonder.

1 Corinthians 15 was addressing that exact question in the 1st century.

Jesus said the Father is the only true God!

Gonna be an amazing upgrade that never degrades.

It's not like you think.. I think that is your first REVELATION ...
the verse you quoted in Revelation 19 was verse 9, not 19. just wanted to point that out.
What about people who are cremated? Are they not resurrected? Serious question. 😢

We are not the bride of Christ. We are not married to Christ. The new city of Jerusalem is the bride of Christ. We are the body of Christ.

No. Your works (e.g. baptism, tithes, etc) don't save you. See Ephesians 2:8-9.

Greg Laurie says that Christians go to heaven. Jesus said _"Where I am going, you cannot come."_ Which one is lying, Greg Laurie or Jesus?
Read other Bible verses, not just one. This is probably taken out of context.
