Sheen Captived World, Lost Heaven Enchantment

By: Someone Who Loves Jesus Very Much

One upon a time in 1988, there was a man named Merhan Karimi Nasseri (Iranian), revoked his citizenship when a plane flying to Paris. His passport was taken. Without proof of citizenship, the arrival in Paris he was not permitted to leave the airport. During the 11 years he lived in the terminal, airport toilet and shower in the life of the airport staff assistance.

In 1999, the French government finally gave him permission to live and work in Paris. Now he becomes a free agent go anywhere. But strangely, he still chose to stay at an airport terminal because it has been like living there. Having finally persuaded a few days he was just about to depart from the airport terminal.

Because, as large and as good as any airport terminal, clearly not a house. So do not house the world's eternal future. We live in a world which, if only temporarily described as a house, we just stay at home, which means that every moment could be evicted, because not ours. "And if you call Him Father, Him who faces regardless judge all people according to his deeds, then let you live in fear as long as you stay in this world" (1 Peter 1: 17).

In connection with this, the Apostle Paul warns, that we are citizens of heaven. We live in the world is only temporary. Therefore we should not be stuck with fascination and enjoyment of life or more important worldly interests only temporary rather than heavenly. What we are after only about food, profit, pleasure, luxury, privilege and position. Though it was not eternal. Do not love the world and what's inside. "If people loved the world, the love of the Father is not in the man. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, not of the Father, but from the world. And this world is gone with the intention, but people who do God's will to live forever " (1 John 2:15-17).

"But our citizenship is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, that will transform our lowly bodies, so similar to His glorious body, according to His power that can subdue all things to myself Him " (Philippians 3:20-21)

As citizens of heaven, should we be any different way of life, not only pursue things that are temporary. But we must focus on the things that are eternal, like love, truth and justice. People who are too close to the things of this world will be afraid to leave this world, when the time comes.

Because all things are immersed in worldliness that would be very difficult to be grasped tightly released. Therefore, let us be grateful if God suffered loss, both wealthy, enjoyment, luxury and position or our loved ones. The incident should awaken all of us that does not belong to us and the world is not our home. Everything is transitory and will disappear in an instant the power of God. When the liver was dazzled him captivated by the world, then heaven is no longer looked stunning.

How happy we are after knowing that the Lord Jesus is the Savior of mankind. Which means what? Clear that we are still more likely to be saved by the Lord Jesus, as Merhan Karimi Nasseri who has been rescued by the staff of the airport terminal.

At some point we will definitely be in the hidden fears, and unfortunately more precisely who feared that befall us. That is nothing more than a temptation that we must face. It is already explained in the letter of Job 3:25-26 " Because of what I'm afraid that's what happened to me, and that worries me is what came to me. I do not find rest and tranquility, I did not get a break, but discomfort that arise. "

Which then becomes the question, why do we experience the trials, some mild and some are heavy. Who would we blame! God? The answers are below:
" If one is tempted, he is not to say, this experiment came from God. For God can not be tempted by evil and him itself does not tempt anyone, but every man is tempted by his own desires, because he was dragged and enticed by it " (James 1:13-14)

" Young people become tired and lethargic. Cadet-cadet fell over, but people who look forward to the Lord a new force: they are rising like a flying eagle with the strength of its wings; they run and not be weary, they walk and not be tired, " (Isaiah 40:30 - 31)
Physical fatigue is not difficult to overcome, but spiritually tired and lethargic / soul really dangerous.

Proverbs 24:10 " If you lose heart at the time of trouble, your strength is weak " Maybe we said " I've been praying and waiting for 10 years but no change. My husband is still a drunk, rude and abusive to me. "There is more to say," I've been praying for six years, but did not see any way out of my finances and my family also. My business is ruined! For what I believe and hope again? All are dead ends, etc. vain. God wants us to persevere and believe in the end, though we do NOT see it. (John 20:29.) God wants us renewed strength every day. Power is only when we meet we look forward to the encounter with Him and experience Him. HE is the answer to all problems and our needs. In the Lord Jesus is love, strength, joy, and peace. For those who do not earnestly to God, let alone an unbelieving, that they may be left shaking seek God and be saved.

No more things we can count on who can we trust other than the Lord Jesus. For His word says: "... so real, that you know to save the righteous from temptation and know keep the bad guys to be tortured on the day of Judgement ..." (2 Peter 2: 9). How awful if we are to be stored to be tortured on Judgement day.

Therefore we must always call upon God as described in Psalm 55:17-18: "But I cried out to God, and God will save me in the evening, morning and noon; I was anxious and crying, and he heard my voice. "

Jesus is Lord over everything. "Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne and earth is My footstool; house what would you set up for me, and what will be the place of my rest? "(Isaiah 66:1)

Finally, brothers and sisters let us continue to hold on to His promise:
"Whoever wins, he will Kududukkan with Me on My throne, as I too have been victorious and sat with my Father on his throne." (Revelation 3: 21) Amen.
