7 Things - No More...

When we get to heaven there will be 7 things that are NO MORE. These 7 things represent every trial and suffering of all mankind:

No more TEARS (Rev.21:4)

No more DEATH (Rev.21:4)

No More PAIN (Rev.21:4)

No more CRYING (Rev.21:4)

No more SORROW (Rev.21:4)

No more CURSE (Rev. 22:3)

No more NIGHT (Rev. 22:5)


Father...let it be now...on earth as it is in heaven...
free Your people from the curse of sin and death...
may we dance in Your freedom and grace!



This is the exact opposite of the curse (Gen. 3:16-19). Look at these words in bold - each of the blessings above can be found here as curses (now cancelled because of Jesus) that were placed upon mankind as a result of sin:

16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow (sorrow) and your conception;
 In pain (pain) you shall bring forth children;
 Your desire shall be for your husband,
 And he shall rule over you.” (night)
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
Cursed (curse) is the ground for your sake;
 In toil you shall eat of it
 All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles (crying) it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat (tears) of your face you shall eat bread
 Till you return to the ground,
 (death) For out of it you were taken;
 For dust you are,
 And to dust you shall return.”

To hear a fabulous song on this theme - just click here on this YouTube clip of David Phelps singing "No More Night" - Words and music by Walt Harrah 



I think David Phelps must have one of the most perfect male voices God ever created!! Just worship with this older song and this wonderful singer!

God Is With Us No Matter What...

My meditations this morning...What a Faithful God we serve:

In times of trouble - Run to the presence of God (Ps. 9:9)
In times of distress - Hide in the secret places of God (Ps. 27:5)
In times of suffering - Cling to the comfort of God (2Cor. 1:3-8)
In times of grief - Trust in the nearness of God (Ps. 23; 34:18)
In times of pain - Look to the healing of God (Ps. 103:3)
In times of temptation - Cry out for the deliverance of God (2Pet. 2:9)
In times of failure - Reach for the hand of God (Ps. 37:23-24)
In times of darkness - Watch for the light of God (Ps. 18:28)
In times of mourning - Shift into the dance of God (Ps. 30:11)
In times of discouragement - Meditate on the victories of God (Heb. 12:1-3)
In times of loss - Hope in the restoration of God (Zech. 9:12)
In times of shame - Believe in the forgiveness of God (2Cor. 7:11)
In times of doubt - Ask for the faith of God (James 1:6)
In times of trial - Sing the songs of God (Acts 16:25)



The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him,
and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalm 28:7
