Pastor Kerry Shook Video Devo - Heaven on Earth Day 6

good morning woodland church family i'm so glad that i get to be with you my name is ryan i'm one of pastor carrie's sons my dad has asked me and some of our pastors and my brothers to lead you in today's devotional in this week's devotional as we continue the heaven on earth series it's been such a powerful message series that my dad and pastor lee have preached and it's been a powerful daily devotional that i hope you have been sticking with and doing consistently by spending time in god's word you are making an eternal investment we know that the souls of men and women and the word of god are the two things that are going to last for eternity and you're investing in those things right now so i want to applaud you for doing that stay plugged in keep building those spiritual muscles because the spiritual disciplines you develop today will continue to pay off into eternity today's devotional is from revelation 21 5-6 this is what the verse says he who was seated on the throne said i am making everything new then he said write this down for these words are trustworthy and true he said to me it is done i am the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end so thirsty i will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life revelation 21 5-6 revelation always kind of confuses me because there's so many allegories and really biblical images and really scary images in some ways but this verse reassures and calms my soul because it reminds me that god's eternal life his eternal water is always available to me if i'm willing to ask for it so i am thanking you and encouraging you to continue today to ask for god's refreshing spring of life because eternity starts today we all often think of um eternity starting in the afterlife but the reality is we are eternal our souls are eternal the word of god is eternal our bodies may not last our things may not last but the word of god and our souls will go on forever and we're here right now connecting whether it's through the screen or in person the body of christ is an eternal organization that you are part of and so i just want to thank you for being part of this eternal family it's so amazing that i get to spend this time with you right now here's the prayer that we're going to be praying today i want to encourage you because the thing that is so hard about eternity is you can't see the other side of eternity here on this earth things are broken things are painful we have disappointments we have frustrations we have depression we have things that hold us down both physically mentally and spiritually there is a spiritual warfare going on all the time and it can get really dark here on this earth but god says even though it's dark in this moment on this earth my eternal light is going to be with us forever and so you're going to live in light for the rest of your life but in this moment you're going to live in darkness but that doesn't mean that i don't want to bring some dark some light some hope to your world right now and we believe the church is the light on the hill it is the light that is designed to bring hope fulfillment to so many families so so many broken people and so i want to encourage you today will you join me in praying for our nation praying for our local community for god to bring some heaven to earth right here in the houston area or wherever you live wherever you're watching from that he would let you be a light and that he would just bring some of his supernatural healing to us because we need it every single day more and more i'm going to pray
