IT WENT BY SO FAST

IT WENT BY SO FAST

Many times you have said this, upon returning from an enjoyable vacation or trip. You begin to think if there was anything you would do differently next time, to make it even better. It went by so fast, it seems like a dream. 

Can you recall a dream that was so real that you thought you really lived it. It seemed more real than an actual life experience. The beautiful dreams, let you down when you wake. The nightmares ended in great relief when you awoke.

This is all a foreshadow of a spiritual experience in your future. Upon your arrival here in heaven, you will experience a dimensional depth you have never experienced before. You will have a appreciation and an awareness for everything around you. You will feel like you have always been here, at the same time realizing, you have just arrived from somewhere. You will think, "was where I came from just a dream, it went by so fast". 

The fact is you just stepped from time to eternity. Time is swallowed up by eternity. Your time was less than 120 years, which is less than a flash in eternity. You will be thrilled to discover that all the things you did for others, during that flash of time, have been and will be, multiplying  forever. Then you will be sad to discover that what ever you did for yourself while neglecting others, greatly reduces the quality of your eternal life. You traded your eternal reward for a temporary one. Like selling your birthright, for a meal.

Every new arrival has the expression, "did I just wake up from a dream". Reality is not real, until you have entered spiritual reality. Temporary is not real, permanent is real. Anything that can be destroyed, will one day cease to be real, because it has been consumed. I see the end from the beginning, therefore I see all that you call real as nonexistent. I see it destroyed and time itself, as already ended.    

It may still exist as a temporary reality, when you leave it, but you will never again touch it, sit in it, walk on it, swim in it, spend it, save it, count it, or even desire it. To you it no longer exists. It was temporary, and you have just entered the permanent. It went by so fast, I must have been dreaming, will be your expression. 

Then the next reality will hit you, just like on earth. You will realize, It really wasn't a dream, then you will think to yourself, what will I do differently, but there will be no next time. Unlike on earth, up here, nothing can be changed, because it's permanent. 

You will remorse at how simple it would have been to give every thing away to the widows and orphans. How stupid it was to spend hours watching fools do foolish things on a tv screen. What a waste of that flash of time, to work, and save for years, for a house that's not real, that car, I can't recall the make of it, the parties, the cruises, none of which mean anything but loss now.

I warn you now, while time still exists, that everything you build for yourself on this earth, you will regret, when you see what it cost you. Wake up to reality now, give everything to me, fall in love with Me all over again. Live like you just stepped out of time into eternity. You do not know, you may be here in a few minutes.

Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Luke 16:25 (KJV)
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Luke 12:47-48 (KJV)
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes . [48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Matthew 6:1-2 (KJV)
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. [2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 (KJV)
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
