Heaven is for your Family | Dean Braxton

hey new life will you stand up and give a warm welcome and just honor dean as he comes to release a word come on i like those fish thank you you can you can have your seat you can have your seat thank you jesus you know i i i love that sound of clapping and and things like that because that's how you're going to be greeted in heaven you know so what you just heard and you can turn up the sound even greater than that when you get to heaven that's how all of heaven is going to greet you in they're going to be glad you are there i you know it's one of those things that i wish i could just uh uh maybe uh uh have a a syringe and just kind of like give it in to you so you could really grab what it means to be so appreciated by god almighty you know we we talk about appreciating him but he appreciates you also he loves you that much you know earlier i said in the earlier service that you know uh and i point this out for a reason you know i want people to know this tim so that they can grasp how simple it really is and you brought it up later on it's jesus has already chosen you he just wants you to choose him that's simple i know we want to put all the theological peace in it we want to send you to bible school and all that stuff and i'm not saying there's nothing wrong with bible still but we want to teach you why he wants you and i always say the only reason he wants you is because he created you to be with him you know when he looked down and he was forming you okay inside of your mother he wasn't doing it because he thought you're going to do this great thing or you're going to do this great thing or you're going to do this great thing he did it because he just wants you to be with him that's simple i thank tim and tiffany for having me here and and uh vicki my sister vicki for having me back she said about 13 years i've been coming out here kid asked me a long time ago to come back then my wife would travel with me marilyn and many of you that have known me that long have always asked where's marilyn you know she got tired of traveling a long time ago you know so you know and i thank god that um you know it's not always easy on the spouse it doesn't matter which spouse it is when something like this happens to them because they're not the same you guys you know and i know many people sometimes they would say to me i wish my spouse went to heaven and came back because they want them changed so much you know i'm going to tell you you know and it's kind of sad but it's a reality i um did a uh movie that's supposed to be coming out in in november called discover heaven me and several other people did this movie it's supposed to be in your theaters so that's a good date night for some of you okay um but it's supposed to come out in in november and there's several of us that have had this experience of dying and going to be at the father and jesus and we're telling our story and i'm one of them they had even dr regate a doctor that was actually in the room when i died they got him to be a part of the my section of this movie but many of the guys that go through this or many of the people that go through this when they come back they're so changed that they end up in a divorce because the spouse has a hard time accepting what just happened because the person's not the same i always tell people me and my wife had to develop a whole new relationship after i came back and the only reason marilyn stayed with me is because she was a praying woman you know and there were things i would do because i'm thinking eternal and she's still thinking earthly whether you realize it or not we need a car we need a house you go to heaven you find out you don't need a house you don't need a car you know what i mean we need those things on the planet you understand i mean but you're not thinking that way you know and so she had to really um what do you say pray through this time and it took about two and a half years for us to develop a whole new relationship you guys get this and it wasn't that out that that that um i had to change you know in the sense that i was such a bad guy on this side she said man i hope you go to heaven i hope you go to heaven change you know that type of thing you know we had a great relationship before this happened to me and then it happened and i came back and i was a whole different person i thought different i still think different i just learned how to walk on the planet as i call it and you know who my teacher is jesus you know whether you realize it or not he's your teacher to the walk on the planet because that's all you're doing you're passing through this is not your home you know you will not stay here you that are born again you that know jesus christ the lord save you that have the holy spirit residing on the inside of you you are passing through here you know and jesus and and paul really in the bible tries to tell us that all the time you know i i didn't do this the first section and i need to do it this section and let's talk about these books real quick and then i really want to get into some things that the father wants me to share which is different than what i shared in the first service you know different hearts are here different people are here god knows exactly every one of you and how you're thinking i don't have to know how you're thinking i just have to listen to him do you understand so if i say something this morning and it really resonates to you that's your father talking to you just know that don't think oh how does he know all that about me i don't know anything about you i don't want to know everything about you i even asked god when i first came back don't let me know everything about everybody i don't want all your stuff in my head i got my own stuff you know i used to walk up to people vicki and i and they said he went to heaven and they get us scared because they think i would i all of a sudden i would know everything about them and they were trying to hide something and they didn't want people to know you know i already told lord i don't want to know you about you guys you know he knows about you that's good enough for me but i have a book called didn't have an experience well in heaven it used to be called the experience of your throne of god but it's just called in heaven this book has been translated into so many different languages you know it's in chinese this book it's in the underground it's in the underground church it's been translated into the french language it's been translated into um czechoslovakia you know it's been translated into indonesian malay it's been translated into the taliban language you know the taliban to make sure that they can read it they understand someone said aren't you afraid they'll come after you although the worst they can do is send me back to heaven i mean that's the worst they could do no so so it's been translated in danish just recently someone called me up and said can i have this book to translate in jaina and it's not me having the rights to it i believe this is a book that if you ask to translate it it's my responsibility to give it to you and you can translate and use it for your ministry i just got it translated into spanish you know so it should be coming out in spanish i think they did a good job on the spanish but this book here is called in heaven and the thing about it is i'm a scriptural person what the lord showed me after i kept back was that everything i experienced in heaven i can find in the word of god can i challenge you this morning about something about the word of god can i challenge you okay you know how we always say not everything that god has done is in his word you know how we say that and we use the scripture because john said not all the books of that time could capture what jesus um put down all right what if i tell you everything that god has done is in the word of god what's the first thing you say that's impossible guess what he can do the impossible somebody regret what i just said here you know and the reason i do that is because there's so much in there that none of you on this planet is going to be able to figure it all out and when you get to heaven i guarantee you there's things that are in the word of god that god's not even going to tell you what they mean he's only going to let you know what you need to know but when i went to heaven i came to understand something 99 of everything i experienced is in the word of god i always leave that one percent there you know what i mean but 99 of it it's in the word of god when i was in heaven i saw a crown on jesus's head looked like god put the sun on his head the rays from the crown were healing i didn't know what that really meant do you guys hear me there's these lights coming off of jesus's head and i don't even know why i'm telling you this but i must be having to tell somebody you know if that's you just raise your hand everybody know you we're off on this tangent because you not me okay but all of a sudden these rays were coming off of jesus's head i knew they had something to do with healing i knew that they connected with everybody that's born again on this planet i knew that but where is that in the scriptures until i got into malachi and i read we said the sun s-u-n of righteousness has healing in its wings in the words wings we think as a jewish garment really when you study it out the scholars say it means rays it's in the word of god i knew when i got there that the atmosphere was a golden white you know what i mean it's not blue like we think it's goldish white it's like a sunrise and i would tell people that and and i'm thinking okay i'm telling people this i'm reading in job i'm reading the 37th chapter of job and all of a sudden one of the guys that was there not the guys that messed up with one of the guys that was right he's talking to job and he says god comes out of this golden splendor and i'm thinking oh no what is this i do the studying on it because i would describe the atmosphere as being a curtain and and it seemed like a waterfall going up that's how i would describe it so i look up what golden splendor means and they say the closest they can come it looks something like the aurora lights over the north pole and if you know anything about the aurora lights what do they look like curtains and and really if you study it out you find out it isn't particles falling down to the planet it's part of bouncing off the atmosphere and going back up and here it is in the word of god i'm just sharing that with you because some of you need to get back in your word some of you let the coronavirus get you out of your word some of you don't have the joy that you need because you got out of the word and in that word is so much that you need right now some of you need as vicki said when kit went home to be with the lord that she said something she needed to be become more intimate with god and what did she do she dived into her word you were created to be intimate with your father is that good news so that book here has a lot of scripture to it also it says this is what i experienced here it is in the word of god you know um i'm up here and you're down there i'll put it right here okay and then i'll say you come and get it yeah you yeah you yeah you [Applause] take this one with you and give it to somebody all right i'm glad you obey you must be married [Laughter] this is what it feels like to die i was inspired to read to write this book because i wanted christian to know about what it was feel like to leave your body and go to bed father and jesus you know what i mean the word dying really is not a part of our vocabulary as we're born again because we never die when jesus christ said he came to give you eternal life he didn't say i gave you life and then i give you eternal life after you die you have it when you were born again okay people say well the transition takes place after you die no it took place when you became born again whether you realize it or not you live forever whether you realize or not you can go around to your brothers and sisters and look at them and say you will see this face forever whether you like it or not the good thing about it we all get along we all like each other we have no issues with each other you know i always believe the person that you can't get along with the most that's your brother and sister on the planet it's the one you're going to be stuck with in heaven they're going to be with you all the time there's a there's a there's a reason for me saying that it's not just to get you to laugh because i know you're going to laugh because people do laugh at it but the reality it is if that's the person god wants you with for eternity wouldn't you think he wants you to start that here on the planet the only one that doesn't want you to get along is called the enemy of god so if there's somebody you have a hard time with that's a brother or sister okay that means they're born again you start praying about it so that god can bring you back together because the only one that doesn't want you to get along with your brother and sister is the enemy of god because he knows if you got along with your brother and sister if you have that unity like you're supposed to that you would cause him great damage to his kingdom you guys get this so this book here what it feels like to die is to go in to tell you what it was like for me to leave my body and go to be father and jesus and it was joyful it's a great joyful moment for us that are born again now the people that stay on the planet it's not so much joy for them but the people that lead the planet to know jesus christ as lord and savior i can guarantee you every one of them was glad to leave they did not try to hold on to their body i'm letting you know that right now and that's sad for some of us because we want to think wouldn't they want to be with us on the planet you know what they know they know that when they get there you'll be there soon you know in a blink of an eye that you'll be there whether you realize them or not let's look at it just my own life they said i die for an hour and 45 minutes when we had those people that are very mathematical people and well i have one of them come up to me and say well i'm going to kind of calculate that out i'm going to let you know if a day is of a thousand years and a thousand years of the day i can tell you how long you've been there calculating out the hour and 45 minutes okay well he said if i calculated out you were there 90 years whether you realize it or not i'm 90 years old i'm a lot older than that let me see that was 15 years ago i'm 115 now they look good don't i i'm living in the old testament time before noah you understand how me i'm living when you could live hundreds of years i'm already 115 or right i'm your elder whether you like it or not but the reality of it is if that's true and someone's there and we got 90 years on the planet and that's an hour and 45 minutes an hour and 45 minutes think about it you're not in this room there's there may be some of you there 90 years old but the majority of you are not so it's like a blink of an eye so they're there and they're thinking you will be there you wonder if they miss you think about it you know they already know they're in their anticipation is that you'll be there in a moment they know you're coming through the door is that good news you guys that's to comfort somebody in this room they'll let you know i know you lost somebody someone left the planet and you're wondering do they think about me yeah they think about you being there with them because they know that you'll never be separated ever ever ever again it doesn't exist there so this book just lets you know what it feels like to die as a christian can't tell you what it feels like to die as a person that doesn't know jesus christ is lord and savior i used to um minister to the cia i live in virginia close to washington dc i used to live in washington state and then i moved to the other washington a different country okay and i'm sharing this with you because i want you to understand something i moved there mainly so that i could be available for your government officials to ask me to come and ask me what it's like to die as a christian so the first group that really opened up the doors for me they ministered to was the cia you know your cia whether you realize or not was built off of one scripture do you hear what i just said a scripture you know what the scripture was for the cia when they were put together it was called the truth will set you free that was their foundation you guys you can go online and look at it now what are what is the motto of the cia and they say their old model used to be the truth will set you free so it was there so many of the agents i would come in contact with this is what they wanted to know about they want to know what it was like to die and they would ask me questions you know many of them did things that we don't talk about in the united states that we don't do and they were guilty feeling guilt a lot and they just wanted to know what it was like to die so i got to share with them many of them came to know jesus christ as lord and savior never got to talk to the director but i got to talk to those deputy director and this person told me something should i say this lord this person told me something yeah it's a few years ago so it's not secret no more you know you all got your top secret clearance for anyway you'd rather you realize it or not you got a top secret clearance i have given it to you okay if someone asked you where'd you get it said dean gave it to me all right but this is what this person told me i was meeting with the deputy uh director of the cia in a restaurant i was playing james bond secret agent you know in a restaurant you know some of you don't even know who james bonnie is i was playing a secret agent and i was sneaking into the date they always met me in restaurants so i got in the restaurant and the person said something to me listen to this this is cool the person said this is a spiritual warfare the the director the assistant director of the cia said this is a spiritual warfare that's how they addressed me and then they said something that kind of like opened up the door and both sides know the evil side knows of spiritual warfare and the christian side knows a spiritual warfare we think it's a physical warfare but your cia agents know it's a spiritual warfare i'm just letting you know you know if i'm not here next week you know where i went yeah if you get stopped in the street and be taken away say that top secret clearance didn't work that dean gave me okay so what it feels like to die this is your book i'll put it oh good you just thank you did you see how she did that she didn't second-guess me deep worship in heaven is a good book it really is to help you understand that when we come to worship like we did earlier it really is to come around the throne of god and tell our father how much we love him my favorite part of this book is when it describes the different ways of worship the seven hebrew words and the in the three greek words and then one of them is my favorite of the favorite is when it talks about this one word that talks about worship and it says the motion to make the musical sound or whatever it is is worship not just the sound but the motion to make the sound is worship yeah this is your book okay you guys should sit in the front row you get books a woman's stand this tells you what maryland did to get the results i was dead clinically did for hour and 45 minutes you saw the doctor he said i was really really dead okay that's what he said the bottom line so i can prove i'm i died that's the easy part i get to tell people all the time i died medical records said hour and 45 minutes the doctor said i was really really dead okay but i was born again i knew jesus christ is lord savior i had the holy spirit residing on the inside of me i'd love to say this it's my favorite i love to say this i went where christians are supposed to go you that are born again you don't know jesus christ the lord save you that hold the holy spirit on the inside whether you like it or not you're going to heaven whether you like it or not you're going to heaven you know what i mean i know you think you have to perform i think you i know you think you have to tell everybody around you you're a christian i know you think you have to do all these things all you have to be is born again that's all you have to be and i know some of you are saying well man dean don't i have to do this you do it because that's who you are not because it gets you something if you are a christian act like a christian and god is giving you the holy spirit to help you this is your book in the orange you knew yours coming that way you knew it you knew it you know a woman stand and my my one of my favorites is i need you there saying the king it's a coloring book okay it's mainly for the kids i just got done with the kids a few minutes ago a blessing for me it was my desire this morning to sit down with the kids not that you guys are not fun but they are funner i'll tell you that okay i'll just let you know and they asked me a bunch of questions and they have no stoppage in the way that they asked me questions they asked some of the best questions i remember this one little kid one time asked me does jesus have a belly button how many of you would think that way how many of you would think that they asked a question like that does jesus have a belly button you know you know it really is a very profound question because if jesus didn't have a belly button when i left my body i wouldn't have been able to go through where the father of jesus is jesus had to come as a human being die on this planet and raise from the dead as a human being for me to have my sins forgiven and have eternal life so he had to have a belly button belly buttons are important next time you look at your say this is salvation you know this is one of my hardest books to ever really sell because i love giving them the kids you know okay grandma i want a grandma i want a grandma i want to grab oh then you get this book there you are you're welcome i'm glad you got right to it it's great to be a grandma this morning i know you think well he you started some things but you know what the lord wants me to talk about this morning is something i really love to talk about it's usually at the end of what i share i usually share about like i said earlier what it's like to die as a christian i want you to know you don't have to fear dying i want you to understand that you leave your body and your body dies i want you to understand it's in the scriptures faith without works is did just like the bodies did without the spirit you know what i mean i want you to understand that adam didn't even become a living soul until the spirit was put into the body i want you to understand that jesus christ has given you a gift that when you leave your body you don't have to feel pain because he died on the cross and he took all your pain that's why the bible says there will be no sting and death that's because literally you will not feel this thing of death i want you to understand that you transferred over you when when you became born again i want you to understand that when i left my body it wasn't like all of a sudden i'm out of my body and i left you guys i really didn't even feel leaving the body i didn't feel it it it wasn't like oh got that thing off now you know what i mean i've been trying to get it off for years and it's gone now you know it wasn't like that at all you know i came to understand that i was that spirit on the inside and it wasn't a body with a spirit it was a spirit with a body i came to understand that and when you leave your body it's just going to be that way and you're not going to feel the pain and the body's going to die and you're not going to be there to even experience that because jesus christ has already died your death i want you to understand that i want you to understand what it was like to leave my body and go to be with the father and jesus and i want you to know how long it took for me to get there not because it takes just a short while to get there i want you to understand so did you know how much god wants to hear you because the prayers that people were praying for me and others were passing me by you know by the time you were thinking that that uh in the sense of a you know kid leaving his planet you know he was already there but your voice of praying beat him there i want you to understand that god made you to talk to him and you have no excuse he gave you a mouth and a voice so you have no excuse you have the basics and he gave you the basics to talk to him adam was created before eve but he was given a mouth and a voice and it wasn't to talk to animals it was talk to god i want you to understand that and i want to make it so simple so that you don't make it so complicated you know what i mean i want you i want you to to say that you can spend time with your father and it doesn't have to be a complicated situation you know i know we think we got to go get in the closet do you understand the man shut the closet and the kids come by and say what you doing in there you know i'm getting away from you no but i want you to understand you can go anywhere talk to your father and he's ready to listen to you i want you to understand that so i share all those things as i go along i want you to understand that when i got to heaven i didn't go to heaven because it was heaven i went to heaven because that's where jesus and the father is and and i want you to understand you're not going to heaven because it's just heaven it's a place to go you're going there because that's where jesus and the father is and really what you're desiring is to be with the father in jesus that's what i want you to understand those are simple things but most of us make it very complicated we have a whole bunch of hoops that we want to jump to get through to get there i want you to understand those things because those things free you up that means you can be everything god wants you to be without knowing you have to perform for it [Music] okay i want you to understand all that but one of the most things that really got me when i got to heaven was my family came to greet me in for you as probably some of y'all yeah dean that would be normal for me it was not normal and i don't mean in heaven i was surprised that they came when i got back to the planet i was very surprised that my entire family came to greet me in heaven i always thought that we're all the family of god and when we get there we just blend together and yet here i am in heaven and my family that which produced me through the dna that was there in heaven came to greet me into faith you know and those that were adopted into my family grafted in do you know you can be grafted into a family i use the scripture that's in the bible when jesus was talking to his mother mary and john the disciple and he told john mary is now your mother and mary you know john is now your son and that day they became grafted in and they were family and i really believe that happens when someone's adopted i really believe that happens even with step parents you're grafted in so no longer do you just have what you would say your your biological family coming to greet you in but you have your grafted family coming to greet you in you know you have both groups coming to greet you in now but i didn't know that that would happen in heaven i had no idea that my family would literally come to greet me in heaven you know i thought i'd be happy in heaven i knew there was going to be a lot of joy in heaven i knew we were all going to get along in heaven but i didn't know my family was going to come and greet me in heaven and there was jesus standing to the left of me about 10 or 11 o'clock and on the other side of him was my family my family my grandmother mary was out front you know did she look like a grandma no she didn't look like a grandma there's no time in heaven how do you describe a person out of time because everything we do on the planet is do we describe people in time we we we tell you how old you are for how long you've been on the planet according to the time that we have allotted for that time you know but in heaven there is no time everything is eternal how do you describe a person out of time some people say they look young they look better than young there is no pimples in heaven you don't have acne either there's no medicine being sold for it you know commercials about it i'm just letting you know it's better than you can imagine and when you get there i always get to tell people i told the little kids earlier when you get there you look good i had this brother and sister that i was answering in the children's class a few minutes ago and i was the the sister asked me what do you look like and i was trying to describe how good you and i was telling she you're gonna look good you're gonna look good and her brother said she gonna look good and i thought i got to get her out of this and i asked him i said well does she look good now you know and he he looked at me i said does she look good now he said yeah she looked good [Laughter] but you're going to look good every flaw you have of being on the planet physically is not going to exist and guess what you're not going to ever remember they existed it isn't like you're going to say oh i remember what i looked like when i was on that planet whoo you know i'm glad we got a makeover up here it ain't going to happen you guys and you know what the greatest thing about it is you were created for that really that's really your natural position it's called life you were created to be in life and in heaven everything's alive and everything's expanding or growing so you're going to look good when you get there and the next moment you're going to even look better than that and the next moment you're going to look better than that and the next moment you and it's never going to stop you're not going to have to get up every morning and try to cover up what something else is doing you know what i'm talking about you know because on the planet we're going the opposite direction so there's my grandmother mary she's out front of my family and i like to describe it this way and i do it on purpose she was shiny why was she shining because jesus christ was shining out of her whether you realize it or not most of you in this room that are born again you're shiny people to god so what what about the other people some of them are dulling their shine i'm just telling you right now but most of you in this room god doesn't see you as black or white or are red or or any other other nationalities he sees you as one of his children that is shiny you know and many times the kids kids do this they look at somebody and say you're shiny you ever have someone come up to you and say you look shiny you look bright they can see that but when you shed this flesh that's what you are a shiny child of god that's why god says you are children of the light it's your natural place to be in so my grandmother's shiny you know and it's really jesus christ shining out of her and when she's shiny it's not just a like it's literally uh what do you say substance coming off for her that's why i say when we touch somebody we leave life with them because this winter's down a substance comes off of her you know so she was shiny she had pure joy what is joy the best way for me to describe that joy is everyone in this room that got born again remember how you felt when you first got born again the joy you had iron it's one of the most beautiful things to watch is when a person becomes born again and you see the change in them the tangible change it was in bloomington uh vermont way up there that's way up there you guys next to canada okay and this lady she comes up to me and she wants to get bored again and she got all kinds of issues and you know she had all kinds of issues and i'm praying for and she accepts jesus and i literally saw the transformation in front of my eyes she was born again and i saw the physical transformation inside of my eyes the smile she had on her face you could not buy that's joy the other way i describe it is you that have a child a baby and you held that baby in your arms remember the joy you had remember when you held your your daughter or your son in your in in your arms for the first time tim and the joy you had it's like how could this be and this is my child you know remember that didn't happen for a long time but you had it you know what i'm talking about you experienced it pure joy you guys and the greatest thing about it is it grows and you were created for joy i read a scripture yesterday we're talking about the joy conference coming up and it talked about how jesus christ is found in hebrews the the 12th chapter the second verse and it talked about how joy that jesus looked for the joy that was set before him and the joy that was set before him was you whether you realize it or not he had already looked way past the cross and he saw the joy in you is that good news you guys the next thing about her what she was smiling he wasn't that great grandmother mary didn't smile she smiled a lot i had images of her smiling like like vicki's grandchildren have of her smiling or kids smiling you know it wasn't that but she was smiling but wherefore were my other relatives and they were all smiling have you ever gone to a family reunion and seen everybody smile i like to say it this way you know you in heaven if your family's getting along you know you in heaven they were all smiling i like to say it this way it's because they had no worries i think you want your children to be happy you want your family to be happy and i know you miss them on the planet but i'm guarantee you they are happy and every moment they're there they're happier they don't know what sadness is they will never be sad one person asked me well can they see you on the planet yes they can they can look down here i always say if god wants them to can i be honest with this church why wouldn't he why wouldn't he want them to look down on the planet and i know some of you now are looking oh man they're looking at me and saying how much of a mess i am i guarantee you they're not they see you as god sees you and he never sees you failing the scripture reference i use is one in the old testament it's when gideon was in the cave and and the angel came and talked to him he was hiding he was hiding from the enemy it's just me and you guys right now just the rest of them is okay he was hiding from the enemy because you're really interested in the story i can tell okay he was hiding from the enemy and and as he was hiding from the enemy this angel shows up and when the angel shows up angel says to him mighty man of valor if that was me i said he was chicken man you're just chicken i would have never called him a mighty man of hour and yet the angel called him a mighty man of valerie because that's how god saw him and tell your relatives see you in heaven they don't see you being defeated or are being failed they see you winning every time yeah it takes some of you a little bit longer than somebody else but you win and when they get to heaven ain't nobody gonna roll out your performance card and say hey man one out of two is good one out of ten is really good you know something like that they don't even break it up here's my family coming to greet me in all of them one of vicki's um grandchildren asked me the other day did i see noah yeah he fired my family he came to greet me in guess what he's part of your family he's gonna come to greet you here too i know some of you are thinking man he must spend a lot of time greeting people here you know that's earthly thinking heavenly thinking it ain't that way you guys you know so here it is my family come to greet me in one of the questions i get this is to help you that you got family members you don't think are there one of the questions i get is was there somebody you thought would be there that wasn't there i didn't think all those people would be there i didn't know that many people in my family had a connection with jesus christ you don't know all the people in your family i had my ambarber in hell i ain't cursing i'm just telling you about a place i gotta get away from that i want to say no i ain't gonna say that but i'm telling you i had her in hell but there she was in heaven she was in heaven the first thing we do when we think about that is well where did she prove that she would go to heaven if you had her in hell you must have thought that some of the things she was doing wouldn't get her into heaven you're right but i came to understand something everybody there was born again knew jesus christ the lord's savior had the holy spirit residing on the inside of them because they can't get in unless they go through jesus because he said i'm the way to truth in the life there's no other way to get in but through him that's found in john the 14th chapter the sixth verse so there is no other way to get in but him so there she is so she had to do it she had to do it she had to become born again to be able to get into heaven because there is no other way to get there but you thought she was in hell well i came to understand something my thinking didn't matter what i thought he didn't take into consideration he didn't come down here and say dean now you got a barber going to hell let's talk about this you know why do you think she needs to go to hell and she doesn't need to be in heaven he didn't even ask me i will tell you i thought for sure we were so close that anybody in my family that came to know jesus christ as lord and savior he would tell me or at least he would ask me a recommendation should they be saved it's called religious thinking you know the little checklist we have in our head and we really are hard on our family but empire got born again because the only reason you get there is because of jesus christ you know i did what jesus said was supposed to do with our family i prayed for him i prayed for my aunt barbara i made the request i went boldly to the throne of grace and i asked god save my family save my aunt barbara and he listened to me no you guys got to grab what i just said he took me at my words because sometimes we'll go to the throne of grace because we think this is the way it's supposed to be but where they ain't going there would but expecting jesus to do what he said he'd do we're just doing because we know that's the religious thing to do but he listened to me i came to understand listen to this i came to understand it's awful hard for someone you're praying for to go to hell for some of us that's hard from the grass because we think would you mean jesus will take their own free will and run no they'll still have their own free will they can choose what they want but you send god after them and you know what he wants them there more than you do you can go up to the ones that ain't saved right now so you might as well give up now you can give up sooner or later some of you in this room that's what happened to you especially you that come out of a family that you don't think no one should come out of to be born again and there you are sitting here or listening to me he wants some more than you do as i said earlier he's already chosen you he just wants you to choose him you know i know we have our way of doing it and if you don't do it our way we don't think you can get in but he's always listening to the heart and you can confess with your mouth and believe in your heart and said or confess your mouth not believe in your heart and people may think you're born again but he knows do you guys hear me i guarantee there's going to people be people when you get to heaven that are part of your family that you had in hell and they're going to be in heaven no it can't be him no it can't be him no that person you just don't know them i was there when they died but she wasn't there when they talked to jesus and they don't have to say it out loud some of you are going to get into heaven you're going to see people that you did not think was going to be there and they're going to be there is this good news you're going to see them you're going to look at them and you're going to say wow you made it and they're going to look at you and say wow you made it he wants some more than you do my bible says that if you pray anything according to his will ain't that found in first john the fifth chapter starting at the 14th verse if you pray anything according to his will he hears you and if he hears you you have your request it's his will for them to be with him it's his will for them to be with your family forever it isn't his will that it's a temporal relationship that you have with your family because when he created adam and eve in the first two chapters he created them to be together forever it was not something that he said oh i'm putting you together and then you're not going to be together after a while no he created them to be together forever it adam messed up so there's a separation but that was in god's plan you guys getting this i'm just talking to this group here they all got it okay that whole side over there got it this one fourth got gotta get it okay he wants you to be together with your family forever and the greatest thing about it is you get along with them when jesus christ died on that cross he died so that you could be with your family forever and they could get along they have no more issues you like them they like you you guys grabbing this one of the reasons they get born again i like that one of the reasons to get born again i know you got it one of the reasons to get born again to be honest with you it's not just for yourself it's because your family in heaven wants you there my grandmother mary said something to me when jesus christ looked at me and said no it's not your time go back she said bring as many of us back with you as you can in heaven your family is desiring that everybody in your family be with them forever because they come to understand you get along they want you to experience what it's like to get along with everybody in your family and there may be some around your family you say we get along you always got those though you don't get along with they out there you you acting like you ain't got one that's out there i got some in my family that's out there you guys hear me he wants you to be with your family forever it's his desire and that you get along it isn't they're just there but you get along you know you have no disagreements in heaven with your family you're all on the same agenda guess whose agenda it is jesus how would it be to be on the same age even here we we we try to be on the same agenda with each other but it's hard but in heaven you'll be on the same agenda you know you know why i'm painting this picture for you because it's heaven it's heaven you know i said earlier in the earlier service and i'll say it in this service he didn't tell me what time to quit so i've been watching the clock thing am i over by now am i not over by now yeah i'm over okay all right that's good to know thank you tim for telling me we're gonna be grafted in so i'm gonna have to get along with you okay i will come to see you when you come into heaven though okay okay i want you to understand family is important to god the lord let me know yesterday that he wants wichita to be the most joyful place in the world he has a strategy to reach everybody in wichita if you're not in wichita and you came here from somewhere else you still got the mantle it isn't that oh that's just for those people in wichita i don't have to worry about it no you've heard it you're accountable if you hear it you're accountable you guys that means you go back to your place and you start making it joyful he wants that and he has a strategy god has a strategy on reaching everybody in wichita in your case your place the bible even says that jesus christ is the great strategist remember how i said 99 of everything that i experienced in heaven i can find in the word of god here i am in heaven jesus is standing like this he's addressing a bunch of beings before me and he's strategizing he's strategizing what is he strategizing about let's go to the cut of it how to get people to know him as lord and savior and he's talking to the heavenly beings all right and he's telling them the strategy in the heavenly realm how to open up the heavenly realm so that the people on the planet can be more receptive to the things of god and they're fighting battles in the heavenly realm to open it up they're fighting the enemy of god the spirits of god that are against him in the heavenly realm of opening up the atmosphere he's done it in wichita already [Music] he's done it here the resistance you think you're going to get is not going to be as great as you think it's going to be so where does the strategy come in the people on the planet now he's calling people on the planet to move in his strategy as i say tag you're it he's tagged you and say now you're part of this strategy to reach this area and i got a strategy for everybody so it's not a few people but i'm looking at getting a hundred percent he did it for nineveh when jonah went to nineveh a hundred percent of the people repented it's not impossible it's happened before so it can happen again so here it is jesus is a strategist he doesn't need a counsel to counsel him on how to do this he is it he just tells you the strategy he's telling me the strategy right now he's telling me this about your family because one of the groups that he wants you to first tackle is your own family before you go out and start hiring flyers to everybody else make sure your family know start from the inside and then go out they need joy a lot of them need to have that smile on their face isaiah 9 6 says this for unto us a child is born unto us the son of given and the government shall be up on his shoulders and his name shall be called wonderful counsel mighty god the everlasting father the prince of peace remember that one christmas time you know here's how it says it in the net bible the new english new english translation for a child has been born unto us a son has been given to us he showed his responsibility and he's called extraordinary strategist that word wonderful counselor really means in the hebrew in a in a military term extraordinary strategist he's strategizing you guys and you're part of the strategy you're part of it you're not outside of it looking in you're it he wants this town to be the most joyful place in the world i'm glad i'm saying it that way because this is that sounds impossible that's good because he's the god of the impossible and he wants this body or if you're in this room he wants this body to be a part of that strategy is that good news you guys i share that with you because i want you to understand your family in heaven is in agreement with you kid gone on to be with jesus you know he's grafted into many of your families he will come to see many of you because he was grafted in by your family my friend back there told me that he he literally buried two of his relatives he grafted in is that good news raise your hand we uh me and you got agreement now he's grafted in and he will come to see many of you as you come into heaven but his greater desire is to bring as many of you of them as you can tag you it i'm ask you to bow your heads and close your eyes i'm gonna ask tiffany and and and tim to come on up here i'm gonna say this to you listen to me please listen to me okay as you bow your head and close your eyes there is going to be a asking for a greater commitment from you to reach your family for god do you hear me i'm telling you beforehand because i want you to get all the junk out of your head so when those when i ask for hands to be raised in that area you can raise your hand freely if you got one person in your family that doesn't know jesus christ as lord savior i'm going to tell you litmus test that means you need to do more i ain't trying to make you get feel guilty because god wouldn't even bring it up if he's not going to get him i ain't saying it because it sounds good i'm saying it because he's going to get him he just needs you to make a commitment that you'll be a part of that getting is that good news but if you're in this room and you haven't accepted jesus christ lord savior bow you had to close your eyes please you need to first make that step you need to first make that step of knowing jesus christ as lord and savior so that you can be a part of the pull of the movement to bring your entire family into heaven if you're in this room and you haven't accepted jesus christ the lord's savior and something that was said this morning has really touched you and you need to make that commitment raise your hands right now and we will pray for you to know jesus you want to see your family again i'm i'm not saying it to manipulate you it's a it's a fact you want to see your family again you need to be born again someone may say well how do you know they're in heaven if they're born again know jesus christ the lord savior they're there father there's somebody out there or somebody out there they're contemplating what i said this morning and they're saying they're not ready but the family member there in heaven is saying i want to see him again [Music] i want them to know that you're real so father i pray for that person whoever it is are people rather and touch their hearts so that they may make that move in that direction of you being their lord and savior if you're in this room and you need to make a stronger commitment to god to be the best you can so that you be the brightest light in your family so that will draw so many people to the lord raise your hand you know by just raising your hand god's already empowering you just by raising your hand we can pray for you but god's already empowering you because you've already moved forward yes i can say this with confidence you will reach 100 of the people in your family for jesus [Music] even the ones you think are way out there they will come to know jesus as lord and savior and they will be with you forever in heaven and you will all get along and you'll be smiling and there'll be no issues no it's not impossible for god he can do it he's done it before he'll do it again father each and every one of them that are raising their hand right now i ask you to grab their hand let them know that you see their hand help them have a tangible experience of you right now recognizing that they have raised their hand to move forward to reach their family and in that lord hilo if there's any physical element in their body that they need healed heal them right now in the name of jesus if you need to forgive somebody i always go over this one because it's the one anchor that slows us down from being fully who god called us to be i always do this when i always say if you need to be to forgive someone it doesn't mean that you want to but you need to and i always put the word need in there because you need to go to work doesn't mean you want to go to work but you need to go to work there's a lot of things you need to do when you do it not because you want to because you need to well forgiving somebody's the same thing you need to forgive them if that's you raise your hand if it's you that you need to forgive because you did something and you need to forgive yourself raise your hand we want to pray for that that's one of the best ways to free yourself up [Music] um some of you may have to forgive somebody that doesn't even exist on the planet anymore they did something but they're gone but you still hold it over them it's to release you it's not to release them it's to release you if you're in this room and you need to forgive someone that may have left this planet raise your hand we want to pray for you today i'm running into a lot of people that just needs to forgive our government it's the gifts on the people in the government they may not agree with their theirs bent on politics but they hold a grudge against that person if that's you raise your hand see god wants to make this the most joyful place in the world and to be able to do that you gotta move into forgiveness you gotta forgive people [Music] because some of you are forgiving i don't know how come it always works this way but some of you will be healed because you just forgave i don't understand it to the fullness but i know god honors it wow lord i'm moving toward my seat but he wants me to cover this area with somebody in the room it's a delicate area but this person needs to hear it if you lost a child whether through means of your own or something else happened to that child when they were young [Music] understand that person is in heaven now they're smiling got pure joy and they're shiny they're not thinking of anything that happened on the planet that was bad and they will be there to greet you in when you come in [Music] but you that have never named that child you need to give a name to that child there is healing in naming the child i'm not doing a new age everything [Music] i'm just letting you know that god has told me that you have the right to name every child that was produced by you [Music] and then you need to let it go and you need to forgive yourself [Music]
