A Traveller’s Guide To Heaven…..

Planning to go to heaven?  Here’s a traveller’s guide….
  
     1. ACCOMMODATION

     Arrangements for first-class accommodation have been made in advance.
    ”In My Father’s house are many rooms …… I am going there to
     prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2).

     2.  PASSPORTS

     Persons seeking entry will not be permitted past the gates without
     having proper papers/credentials and having their names registered
     with the ruling Authority.
     ”Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is
     shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the
     Lamb’s book of life”. (Revelation 21:27)..

     3.  DEPARTURE TIMES

     The exact date of departure has not been announced. Travellers are
     advised to be prepared to leave at short notice.
     ”It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by
     His own authority. ” (Acts 1:7).

    4.  TICKETS

     Your ticket is a written pledge that guarantees your journey. It
     should be claimed and its promises kept firmly in hand.
     “I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who
     sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed
     over from death to life.” (John 5:24).

    5.  CUSTOMS

     Only one declaration is required while going through customs.
     “That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe
     in your heart that God raised  Him from the dead, you will be
     saved.” (Romans 10:9).

     6.  IMMIGRATION

     All passengers are classified as immigrants, since they are taking
     up permanent residence in a new country.  The quota is unlimited.
     ”…… they were longing for a better country – a heavenly one
      …….. He has prepared a city for them.” (Hebrews 11:16).

     7.  LUGGAGE

     No luggage whatsoever is necessary.
     “For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out
     of it.” (1 Timothy 6:7).

    8.  AIR PASSAGE

     Travellers’ going directly by air are advised to watch daily for
     indications of imminent departure.
     ”After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up
     together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so
     we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

     9.  VACCINATION AND INOCULATION

     Injections are not needed, as diseases are unknown at the
     destination.
  

    “He will wipe every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more
     death or mourning or crying or pain….” (Revelation 21:4).

    10.  CURRENCY

     Supplies of currency may be forwarded ahead to await the passenger’s
     arrival.  Deposit your heart, mind, soul and life.
     “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and
     rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
     (Matthew 6:20).

     11.  CLOTHING

     A complete and appropriate new wardrobe is provided for each
     traveller.
    ”…For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me
     in a robe of righteousness….” (Isaiah 61:10).

     12.  TIME CHANGES

     Resetting of watches will not be necessary to adjust to the
     day/night schedule.
     ”The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the
     glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp…….. for
     there will be no night there.” (Revelations 21:23,25).

     13.  RESERVATIONS

     Booking is now open.  Apply at once.
     ”……. now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of
     salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2)

     14.  CORONATION CEREMONY

     The highlight of the journey is the welcoming reception and
     coronation which await the arrival.
     ”Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the
     Lord, the Righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not
     only to me, but also to all who have longed for  His appearing.” (2
     Timothy 4:8).

     The Blessings of the Lord be upon You

     Lamentations 3:21-23,25 “But this I call to mind, and therefore I
     have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies
     never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your
     faithfulness…the LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the
     soul who seeks Him.”
