I live in heaven on earth. Yup! That is how it should be. We don't have to wait 'til we die! Although, our future in heaven will be wonderful indeed and I can't wait! We are the temple of God! We have the very life of Christ being carried around in us, and Jesus is seated in heavenly places, so are we!! HELLO~!!! Lord, let your kingdom come on earth more and more! Let the truth of our lives as christians being hid in you, with you, as you become revealed to the body across the earth!! (check out Rob's latest message)I have been singing this oldie by Belinda Carlisle for some time now, I though it was yet another secular prophetic song that needed to be shared! (by the way, I had the same hairdo and dress back in the early 90's, yup I did!!)

Not to take anything away from a future reality but God's throne is in my heart and Jesus is seated at His right hand, making us the tabernacle of the Lord so the kingdom of heaven is within us:the Bride. Maybe the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven is God showing up in His people NOW!!
LOVE IT, LYDS!!
Absolutely, didn't mean to sound flippant or anything, but I don't think I ever really got this truth of me being his tabernacle, and of the kingdom of heaven being at hand NOW, not only in the future! All through Christ in us the hope of glory, we have his glory now, not just in the future!!!
Heaven is housed in "our"
earth; what a paradox! God is kinda quirky like that...
And you are WAY prettier than her!!
Ha ha! Wonderful. The same song has been going through my head for a few weeks as well! I've thought about posting it, but I like your post because of what else you say along with the song. :)
Aw shucks, you are just biased Jamie!!
Joel, I should have known you knew or liked that song! I think we must be right around the same age, due to all the songs you come up with on your blog, they remind me of high school times! Anyway, glad you liked the post!!
Yep, Lydia, I was teenager throughout most of the 80's, and the 80's really did grab a hold of me... LOL. :)
Short post, Lydia, but very powerful. I really believe Father's purpose is not to get us to heaven but to get heaven to earth.

I've never thought of that verse in that context. Very eye opening.
Thanks for your words of encouragement, Lydia.
