Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls of ALL ages, it is time that we FLIP the Script so to speak. We may have been trying to get from earth to Heaven in the sweet by-n-by!
We sing songs like ‘Some glad morning when this Life is over – I’ll Fly away Oh Glory to a Home on God’s celestial shores – I’ll Fly away!’
The reality IS that we can bring Heaven down to earth this very day!
AS IT IS WRITTEN IN Romans 14:12
So then, each of us will give an account of himself / herself to God!
Then let us not criticize one another anymore but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block or a source of temptation in another Believer’s way.
I know and am convinced [as one] in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean [ritually defiled, and unholy] in itself; but [nonetheless] it is unclean to anyone who thinks it is unclean.
Therefore do not let what is a good thing for you [because of your freedom to choose] be spoken of as evil [by someone else]; for The Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking [what one likes], but of Righteousness and Peace and JOY in the Holy Spirit.
For the one who serves Christ in this way [recognizing that food choice is secondary] is acceptable to God and is approved by men.
So then, let us pursue [with enthusiasm] the things which make for Peace and the building up of one another [things which lead to Spiritual Growth].
The Faith which you have [that gives you freedom of choice], have as your own conviction before God [just keep it between yourself and God, seeking His Will]. Happy is he who has no reason to condemn himself for what he approves.
Dear ones, here is a perfect example, in the Bible, where Peter and God the Father are arguing about what to eat – clean or unclean as strict adherence to the Law or living in His Grace and His Truth:
Bible LINK = Acts 10:9-16
The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw Heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a Voice came to him,
Rise, Peter; kill and eat.
But Peter said, Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
And a Voice spoke to him again the second time,
What God has cleansed you must not call common.
This was done three times. And the object was taken up into Heaven again.
.
We are ALL sometimes like Peter when we TRY to help God understand His Laws, while we justify our actions as obedience! GOD is Sovereign! He knows our beginning from our end! He LOVES us all enough to correct us and reveal to us His true Nature!
Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Isaiah 55:6-12
Seek the LORD while He may be found, CALL upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD, and He will have Mercy on him;
And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
For My Thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My Ways, says the LORD.
For as the Heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My Ways higher than your ways, and
My Thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from Heaven,
And do not return there, but water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My Word be that goes forth from My Mouth;
It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall Prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
For you shall go out with JOY and be led out with PEACE;
The mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
