Hello and welcome back
to Praise I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:00:20.84\00:00:24.50
I have a dear friend who when
he was a little boy used to be
00:00:24.54\00:00:28.71
fascinated with the digital
clock display on the microwave
00:00:28.75\00:00:32.90
and he would just sit and look
at that and watch it and one
00:00:32.94\00:00:37.07
day the electricity was cut
off to the house and his mom was
00:00:37.10\00:00:41.16
working outside. That little boy
who was like four years old came
00:00:41.20\00:00:44.39
running out with great
excitement, Mommy, Mommy guess
00:00:44.43\00:00:46.95
what time has stopped and Jesus
is coming. I know that many of
00:00:46.98\00:00:52.37
us can remember at times when
as a child we took a verse from
00:00:52.40\00:00:56.46
the Bible and applied it in a
literal way when it was actually
00:00:56.49\00:01:00.51
something that we can only
experience by faith at this
00:01:00.54\00:01:04.13
point and the overwhelming
excitement and joy of that
00:01:04.17\00:01:07.68
little boy when he was thinking
that Jesus was just about to
00:01:07.72\00:01:12.23
appear makes us smile but
it's a smile with mixed feelings
00:01:12.26\00:01:16.20
Because we long for that moment
when time is going to stop
00:01:16.24\00:01:20.49
forever, but we know it's
not here yet. We have to look by
00:01:20.52\00:01:24.83
faith to a heaven that seems
sometime so far distant, not
00:01:24.86\00:01:28.70
really impacting what we face
right now in our lives every
00:01:28.74\00:01:32.76
day. It's just too far in
the future to seem real in the
00:01:32.80\00:01:37.00
present. But today on
Praise we're going to ask God to
00:01:37.04\00:01:41.17
enlarge our vision of heaven and
to open our heart and increase
00:01:41.21\00:01:45.74
our faith. Steve Darmody
begins our time together singing
00:01:45.78\00:01:49.86
How Wonderful Heaven Will Be.
00:01:49.90\00:01:58.44
As I see the marks
of sin I feel a sadness
00:01:58.48\00:02:06.34
But there's a thought that
always brings a sweet release
00:02:06.37\00:02:15.59
Soon our Savior will be
here That day is drawing near
00:02:15.63\00:02:25.37
When tears, trials and
heartaches all will cease.
00:02:25.40\00:02:35.11
Oh wonderful heaven will be
00:02:35.14\00:02:43.17
To be with Jesus
throughout eternity
00:02:43.21\00:02:51.82
No earthly fame can compare
00:02:51.86\00:02:55.08
To what is waiting for us there
00:02:55.11\00:03:06.90
Oh how wonderful heaven will be.
00:03:06.93\00:03:18.68
¤ ¤
00:03:18.71\00:03:26.67
Oh just think of all
the countless joys of heaven
00:03:26.71\00:03:34.94
A better land, a
better life than we could know
00:03:34.98\00:03:43.59
We will be forever safe
Through his forgiving grace
00:03:43.62\00:03:52.20
This gift is ours
because he loves us so.
00:03:52.23\00:04:00.84
Oh how wonderful heaven will be
00:04:00.87\00:04:10.01
To be with Jesus
throughout eternity
00:04:10.04\00:04:17.90
No earthly thing can compare
to what is waiting for us there
00:04:17.93\00:04:31.07
Oh how wonderful heaven will be
00:04:31.10\00:04:51.37
To be with Jesus
throughout eternity
00:04:51.41\00:05:00.52
No earthly thing can compare
to what is waiting for us there
00:05:00.55\00:05:18.72
Oh how wonderful heaven will be
00:05:18.75\00:06:11.11
He Who Trusts Stephanie Dawn
00:06:13.02\00:06:21.02
These are peril times we
live in Trouble everywhere
00:06:21.05\00:06:29.36
Weary hearts will often
give in to this world's despair
00:06:29.39\00:06:37.45
But higher over all our
Father knows our every care
00:06:37.48\00:06:47.99
So in his book, if you will look
you will find his promise there
00:06:48.02\00:06:59.22
He who trusts in the
Lord Mercy shall surround him
00:06:59.26\00:07:16.68
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice
00:07:16.71\00:07:20.27
You upright in
heart lift up your voice
00:07:20.31\00:07:24.85
for great is his mercy toward
all who trust in the Lord.
00:07:24.89\00:07:32.45
Soon will be the time
when we will see the Holy One
00:07:32.49\00:07:48.15
and oh how sweet to know that
he'll complete what he's begun
00:07:48.18\00:07:57.16
And blessed is the man who
stands forgiven in God's Son
00:07:57.20\00:08:04.78
And blessed are they who
in that day will hear him say
00:08:04.82\00:08:12.36
Well done.
00:08:12.40\00:08:16.45
He who trusts in the
Lord Mercy shall surround him

Lord Mercy shall surround him.

00:08:39.44\00:08:46.40
all who trust in the Lord.
00:08:46.43\00:08:52.33
Gracious is he and slow to anger
His loving kindness has no end
00:08:52.37\00:09:09.74
With a love to ¤ ¤
grateful friend and stranger
00:09:09.77\00:09:16.53
He's reaching out to one and
all Who upon his name will call
00:09:16.56\00:09:25.54
For he who trusts in the
Lord Mercy shall surround him
00:09:25.58\00:09:35.13

Lift up your voice for
Great is his mercy toward
00:09:49.91\00:09:56.73
All who trust in the
Lord Mercy is his reward
00:09:56.77\00:10:07.42
For all who trust, for the pure
and just who put their trust
00:10:07.45\00:10:13.43
In the Lord Mercy is his reward
00:10:13.46\00:10:23.87
Great is his mercy
toward All who put their trust
00:10:23.90\00:10:37.68
In the Lord
00:10:37.72\00:10:53.40
When Jesus knew that his time
on earth with his disciples was
00:10:53.44\00:10:59.09
coming to an end, he encouraged
them by describing to them a
00:10:59.12\00:11:04.68
picture of heaven. And when
we face the darkness of our own
00:11:04.71\00:11:09.05
days, the words of Jesus
can assure us that things aren't
00:11:09.08\00:11:13.35
always going to be the way they
are right now. He says to each
00:11:13.38\00:11:17.64
one of us, Let not your hearts
be troubled. You believe in God,
00:11:17.67\00:11:21.90
believe also in me. In my
Father's house there are many
00:11:21.93\00:11:26.56
mansions. If it were not so
I would have told you. I go to
00:11:26.59\00:11:31.15
prepare a place for you and if
I go and prepare a place for you
00:11:31.18\00:11:35.51
I will come again and receive
you unto myself that where I am
00:11:35.54\00:11:40.20
there you may be also. So
even when we can feel completely
00:11:40.24\00:11:44.83
empty or alone or uncertain, we
can still choose to believe that
00:11:44.86\00:11:49.60
what Jesus said is true. Even
though we're lonely here, we can
00:11:49.63\00:11:53.85
look by faith to when we will
be with him forever. Although
00:11:53.88\00:11:58.20
we cry in our dark nights now
one day he will wipe every tear
00:11:58.24\00:12:02.67
from our eyes. The glory of the
Lamb will be our light and we
00:12:02.70\00:12:07.10
will walk and
talk with him forever.
00:12:07.13\00:12:10.03
I saw the holy city
descending from the sky
00:12:14.51\00:12:25.14
So brilliant with the light
of God; the city is his bride
00:12:25.17\00:12:35.34
There is no temple in this
town, no sun, no moon, no lamp
00:12:35.37\00:12:46.64
For God's own glory is it's
light, Illuminated by the Lamb
00:12:46.68\00:12:56.61
And God himself will wipe
the tears from every weeping eye
00:12:56.65\00:13:09.35
No death, no pain, no mourning
cry and every tear made dry
00:13:09.39\00:13:20.30
And now our God will dwell
with them, The new Jerusalem
00:13:20.33\00:13:32.07
And he himself will walk
with them, The new Jerusalem
00:13:32.10\00:13:43.80
¤ ¤
00:13:43.84\00:13:52.14
And so let all
of those who thirst
00:13:52.17\00:13:57.33
Come now and drink for free
And to the one who overcomes
00:13:57.36\00:14:08.02
Come now and you will see
Behold the old is passed away
00:14:08.06\00:14:18.69
And everything is new
The Alpha and Omega's words
00:14:18.72\00:14:28.58
Are trustworthy and so
true And God himself will wipe
00:14:28.61\00:14:38.43
the tears from every weeping eye
00:14:38.46\00:14:43.76
No death, no pain, no mourning
cry, and every tear made dry
00:14:43.80\00:14:55.55
And now our God will dwell
with them, The new Jerusalem

00:23:08.37\00:23:59.71
Heaven becomes more real in our
mind as we experience the real
00:23:59.75\00:24:04.90
sense of God's presence in our
life every day, when we really
00:24:04.93\00:24:09.43
do live under his wings, under
his care, under his keeping,
00:24:09.46\00:24:13.67
under his provision. And when
his word becomes light and life
00:24:13.70\00:24:17.80
to us and his will becomes
our deepest source of pleasure.
00:24:17.84\00:24:22.09
When we hear his voice and that
becomes our comfort. When the
00:24:22.13\00:24:26.35
apostle John wrote his
description of heaven and the
00:24:26.39\00:24:28.55
new earth, he began his list
of all its wonders with the most
00:24:28.58\00:24:33.06
glorious thing of all. Heaven
will be where God is with us
00:24:33.09\00:24:37.50
in reality. When your experience
of his presence that we have now
00:24:37.53\00:24:42.55
by faith becomes real and
eternal. Listen to these words
00:24:42.58\00:24:47.15
of John from the last
two chapters of Revelation.
00:24:47.19\00:24:49.81
I, John, saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem coming down from God
00:24:49.84\00:24:54.11
out of heaven prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband
00:24:54.15\00:24:57.92
and I heard a great voice
out of heaven saying, Behold the
00:24:57.95\00:25:01.71
tabernacle of God is with men
and he will dwell with them and
00:25:01.75\00:25:05.48
they shall be his people and God
himself shall be with them and
00:25:05.52\00:25:09.62
be their God. There shall be
no more curse, but the throne of
00:25:09.65\00:25:13.04
God and of the Lamb shall be in
it and his servants shall serve
00:25:13.07\00:25:16.54
him and they shall see his face
and his name shall be in their
00:25:16.58\00:25:20.34
foreheads and there shall be no
night there. They need no candle
00:25:20.37\00:25:24.10
neither light of the sun for
the Lord God giveth them light
00:25:24.14\00:25:28.62
and they shall
reign forever and ever.
