Coming Back To An Eternal Perspective

by GOD TV September 18, 2022

written by GOD TV

Hi, everyone. It’s me Lindy-Ann Hopley from Beautiful Witness Ministries, and I want to encourage you today. You can leave your hat on. Did you know that the armor of God literally has a helmet? Let’s say a modern day hat, right? But that helmet is not just any hat that when the wind goes, it just blows over. If someone knocks, you know, that thing is literally to protect the inner workings of the mind. And I was just thinking about this as I was praying about what to share with you today. And God said, “Lindy-Ann, it’s time for people to come back to an eternal perspective,” because that helmet is actually the helmet of salvation. When everything we do, and who we are, comes out of a place of eternal perspective, then it changes everything.

Because right now, media, the raging of what’s going on in the world; there’s so many things trying to strip Christianity and Christians from their identity. Trying to call it foolish, trying to declare it null and void. Trying to make what the word says look like foolish things. But actually just like David said, “God, why are these heathens experiencing some of the same blessings that I’m experiencing?” And God said, “David, don’t forget that this life is but temporal.”

You have salvation, eternity that no one has, unless they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So I want to pray for you right now. If you have started getting your eyes focused here on the earth, on the here and now, I speak an eternal perspective over you. I speak your helmet of salvation. You can leave your hat on, right back on. Maybe you lost your hat. I want to put it right back on and help you, pray for you and say, Lord, give them eyes to see, give us ears to hear, let us be focused on the Kingdom first. And the rest will be added unto us. Come on. Your name is written in the Book of Life, if you have said yes to Jesus, and all of heaven celebrates. And if you haven’t, you can just do that today. Call upon the name of the Lord. You know something’s missing if you don’t have Jesus. And today He’s inviting you to put on the full armor of God, but it starts with that helmet of salvation, believing that Christ died for you, rose again, and He’s inviting you to sit with Him in heavenly places with an eternal perspective, changing the world here and now. You are a world changer. Don’t forget it. And don’t forget that helmet of salvation.

From me, Lindy-Ann. God bless you. Bye-bye.

Acting On The Holy Spirit’s Lead

by John Mathai January 17, 2022

written by John Mathai

The Acts of the Apostles is the record of the actions that the apostles made during their life on earth. It is a record of the acts of the Holy Spirit through them as they were moved by faith to obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We too must act on these promptings. This is the way the Kingdom of God is evidenced on earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus said that we would do His works and more when the Holy Spirit comes. The Holy Spirit has come and now we must follow Him and do what He leads us to do.

Holy Spirit

Acting is not difficult when we are following a lead. It becomes difficult only when we do it in our own strength. The acts of the Holy Spirit are supernatural. When we are led to pray for healing, we see healing manifested. This is an act. Actions follow faith filled words spoken in the power of the Holy Spirit. Why don’t we see more of this in our daily lives? I believe this is so because we are led more by our soul rather than the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is not of this earthly realm. It is heaven invading earth. When we pray we bring heavenly gifts down to earth.

Heaven On Earth

We must be doing the Father’s business down here. This was what Jesus did. He only did what He heard and saw His Father doing. We too are called to do the works of God. This is to act in His Name. We are just messengers who deliver His message. God needs us on earth to do His will. We have the authority on earth given to us to fulfil the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. When we put into action His will, we bring heaven to earth. Let us act the gospel in our daily walk and continue the acts that the Apostles did.

Dr. John Mathai

Experiencing Heaven On Earth

by Rhoda Gayle September 17, 2021

written by Rhoda Gayle

Argentinian revivalist Andres Bisonni shares a message about experiencing heaven on earth.

Good news

Amidst the trials we are facing right now, the Lord wants us to know that there is hope. And He has good news for us. The good news is that we can experience heaven here on earth!

“If Jesus would be speaking to you today, He would look at you with eyes full of love and He will say, ‘The time is fulfilled, your time has come, the Kingdom of heaven has come near to you.’ He would say, ‘I have good news for you, the Kingdom of heaven, the reality, the presence, the power, the very essence of heaven has come near to you,’” Andres said.

Heaven on earth

In the presence of the Holy Spirit, there are things that we can never find in this world. In His presence, there is righteousness, joy beyond compare, and peace that is beyond our understanding. Only His presence can satisfy our soul.

“The Scripture tells us that the Kingdom of heaven is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit. Three things that we can not find in this world that are only found in the presence of the Holy Spirit.”

Everyone can experience heaven here on earth if we accept Jesus Christ in our lives as our Lord and Savior. As a child of God, you are called to bring the lost into His Kingdom. So go into the world and see the fullness of heaven being manifested on earth!

“These are the best news we would ever hear in all of our life. Jesus came to bring heaven to earth. Jesus came to bring heaven to you. Let us go from Galilee to the nations of the earth and see how the Kingdom of heaven is being manifested on earth.”

Watch ‘Heaven On Earth Marriage’ On Equipping The Saints With Che Ahn

by Christel Berns May 5, 2021

written by Christel Berns

God desires heaven on earth marriage for His children, and that is what the founder and president of Harvest International Ministry, Che Ahn, and his wife, Sue, deliberated on GOD TV program’s “Equipping The Saints.”

Equipping The Saints With Che Ahn

Che Ahn is the founder of Harvest International Ministry and the Senior Pastor of Harvest Rock Church. “Equipping The Saints With Che Ahn” is his weekly program on GOD TV. The show aims to lead people into a “personal encounter with the Holy Spirit, sharing biblically sound teachings and powerful insights.”

In a recent episode, his wife, Sue Ahn, an author, international preacher, and a prophet to the nations was a guest on the program. Also, Che, the host himself, was interviewed by Joy Ahn Ngu, the co-host and the daughter of the Ahns.

Che and Sue shared how God redeemed their marriage and revealed God’s desire for marriage for His children. The married couple testified about it.

Heaven On Earth Marriage

Sue pointed out that since the creation of man, the enemy had always meant to destroy God’s original design for marriage and family. It was God who created marriage.

“God wants heaven on earth marriage,” Che remarked.

Then he shared a powerful revelation that came from Paul Kane, a prophet, in 1998 that turned their marriage around. Apparently, before this happened, the couple just came out from a very challenging marriage season. Because they have opposite personalities and both came from very different backgrounds.

The prophet, who didn’t know anything about their personal lives, said, “You’re gonna have a heaven on earth marriage.”

Since then, Che and Sue indeed experienced heaven on earth in their marriage. And they are now celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.

Watch as the Kingdom couple further discusses heaven on earth in their marriage and their family. It’s so powerful!

Lois Evans: A Glimpse of Heaven

by Emily Wheelock January 22, 2020

written by Emily Wheelock

According to CBN News, the family of Lois Evans said goodbye in late December. Lois was 70 years old and had been battling biliary cancer. Back in October, Priscilla Shirer, daughter of Lois and known Pastor, Tony Evans, took to Instagram to share the amount of Prayer Warriors who had gathered outside of the Evans’ home to pray. Back then, not much could be said about Lois’s condition, but what was said was that she was looking good. The family stayed positive through the next few months and soon Lois passed away surrounded by family.

Lois Evans: Her Glimpse of Heaven

Lois’s husband, Pastor Tony Evans, discussed the passing of his wife exclaiming she caught a glimpse of Heaven before she passed away.

Before her passing, Lois asked some of her family, who were gathered in the room, “Do you see my mother?” She went on to say, “Do you hear her? She’s right over there by the fireplace.” Then she asked, “Why can’t you see her?” She also talked about seeing her late father. Tony says, “She was seeing something as the time of her departure got closer.”

Tony also said that he recalled her saying, “Two days, two days, take me up in two days.”

It is noted that two and a half days later, Lois passed away, on December 30th, 2019.

Tony says that Lois’s experience was like Stephen’s in Acts 7. As Stephan was stoned to death, he saw Heaven open and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. He shared that when the time of our departure comes, we will want to be close enough to God so that we can hear things that others can’t and see things that can’t.

Lois Evans: Obituary

Lois Evans was laid to rest on January 6th, 2020. She is survived by her husband, Tony Evans, her four children, Chrystal Hurst (Jessie), Priscilla Shirer (Jerry), Anthony Evans Jr., and Jonathan Evans. Lois is also survived by thirteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, three brothers, three sisters, one brother-in-law, ten nieces and nephews, and two cousins.

Encountering God Is For Everyone

by Navigator Jo November 14, 2019

written by Navigator Jo

Authenticity and reality are foundational elements of the Kingdom of Heaven. What’s more, it is also what this generation is searching for.

Let’s Be Honest

As ambassadors of Heaven, we are committed to facilitating ‘on earth as it is in Heaven’. Therefore, we must be dedicated to reality and authenticity as part of who we are and how we live. This effectively outlaws the wearing of masks, the pretense of holiness, and religious box ticking.

The story of the ’emperor’s new clothes’ seems both illustrative and appropriate in this context. There was such political correctness, pretense and fear that it took a child to call it as it really was and declare the emperor to be naked not dressed in fine invisible clothes!

Now what?

It’s time to stop pretending and be painfully honest. It’s time to stop faking and call it as it actually is. Hypocrisy was something Jesus reserved outspoken condemnation for – He longs that you would eradicate it from your heart! When others are describing their God encounters what is your response? What primary emotion surfaces? Do you repeat their experience as thought it was yours?

Be determined and intentional in being real with God about your relationship with Him. Be tenaciously honest with Him and yourself. Remember, God’s heart and plan for you is to live in a spirit connection with Him that is real, authentic, constant and soaked in love.

Do you pretend or do you run to Daddy? Are you asking Him for your own, private, personal and face to face encounter and embrace? I encourage you to journal your thoughts, but also what Holy Spirit shows you about this.

Encountering The Truth

Experiencing and encountering God is not for the few but for all – including you! There is no need to pretend for the sake of appearances or to console ourselves. Don’t settle for less than God has for you. There is often a cost to walk this road but it leads to a glorious, liberating, ecstatic place of openness with Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit – bliss!

His Power Within You Is Limitless Through The Holy Spirit!

by John Mathai September 18, 2019

written by John Mathai

Just as your body houses your spirit so also do you house the Holy Spirit. You are a spirit on a earthly journey. Your body is just a house and operates through your senses. Your spirit is in tune with God and communicates with God. Your body senses His presence around you and within you.

Don’t limit yourself

To be made in God’s image is to be born in the spirit with God-like characteristics. This is why limiting your potential to what you can physically comprehend is limiting your true potential. God in you is limitless. When you grasp this your body will respond in like manner. You will be transformed accordingly. You will be able to achieve more than you can think or imagine. Your spirit will begin to control all your thinking and actions. Nothing will be impossible for you when God is in it.

This is how man was able to achieve much through little. This is how man will continue to achieve more than is imaginable in the future. Enlarge your vision and begin to believe that are no limits to what you can achieve in Him. Boundaries are only there to limit you. There are no boundaries in God. God is limitless.

Establishing the Kingdom

Therefore, when you operate in the Spirit you partner with God. You operate in His strength and might and the Kingdom of God is within you. This means that the King reigns in you. All that belongs to Him belongs to you. Believe this and see His kingdom be established on earth as it is in heaven.

When the Church operates in this revelation Heaven will come to earth.The Church will become a counter culture influencing the larger culture. We are to do His will on earth as it is in Heaven. Let us live and be His Kingdom on earth!

What Does the Phrase ‘on Earth as it is in Heaven’ Really Mean?

by GOD TV October 1, 2018

written by GOD TV

What is Heaven like? What is Heaven’s relationship to the earth? And what do we mean by the phrase “on earth as it is in Heaven”?

This important phrase was uttered by Jesus as He taught us to pray to our Heavenly Father. It is important because the union of Heaven and earth is what the story of the Bible is all about. All this time, God desires for us to experience Heaven the same way Adam and Eve experienced it in the Garden of Eden. The garden itself reflects what Heaven is all about, but because of the Fall of Man, Heaven and earth also fell apart.

However, God still allowed the people in the Old Testament to access Heaven through the Tabernacle, the Temple and through animal sacrifices. But, this didn’t last because God had a better solution. For us to access Heaven, He allowed His only begotten Son to take the blame and be the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of humankind.

His death became the most effective way for us to access Heaven. His death made it possible for us to live eternally in Heaven.

The ministry of Jesus shows what Heaven is all about. He healed the sick, raised the dead, cleansed those who had leprosy and other such diseases, drove out demons and so on. Everywhere He went, Christ brought little pieces of Heaven with Him. That’s what we are called to do as followers of Christ, to bring Heaven on earth.

Watch the video below from the Bible Project and be amazed by how they profoundly explain Heaven’s relationship to earth.
