NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK OF YOUR LONG HOME IN HEAVEN!

IT IS NOW TIME TO THINK OF YOUR NEW “LONG HOME” IN HEAVEN!

Ecclesiastes 12:5 – Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his LONG home, and the mourners go about the streets:

WE MOURN FOR THELMA’S LOSS HERE – SHE NOW REJOICES IN HEAVEN

A FUNERAL SERVICE FOR A FAITHFUL MEMBER WHO SERVED FOR MANY YEARS AT DMBC.  THELMA MAXWELL WENT HOME TO HER ‘LONG’ HOME LAST SATURDAY – SHE WAS A TRUE CHRISTIAN LADY LOVED BY ALL IN THE CHURCH!

WHEN THELMA MAXWELL LIVED SHE HAD TWO HOMES. ONE ON EARTH WHERE HER FLESH DWELLED 90 YEARS, AND ONE IN HEAVEN IN CHRIST WHERE HER SOUL WILL LIVE FOR ALL ETERNITY WHERE GOD DWELLS FOREVER. I AM ETERNALLY REJOICING IN KNOWING WHERE THELMA IS NOW. HER SOUL IS IN A SPIRIT HOME UNTIL HER BODY RISES GLORIFIED FOR HER SOUL TO LIVE IN FOR 1000 YEARS, AND AFTERWARD ON THE NEW EARTH WITH A NEW HEAVENLY CITY FOR ALL ETERNITY!

THE WORD TRANSLATED AS “CONVERSATION” MEANS: “WHERE YOU LIVE” IN PHILIPPIANS 3:20,21,

Philippians 3:20,21 – For our CONVERSATION” is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

(CONVERSATION –  Polites – Life as a citizen or member of a city or state – Bullenger) – (A capital city’s borders mark its dominion – TM)

HOW DO I KNOW WHERE THELMA MAXWELL’S SOUL IS? 

Because she was saved totally by grace and I saw God work in Her   

Ephesians 2:8-10 – For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

I Corinthians 13:13 –And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.  

John 13:34,35 – A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Philippians 2:13-18 – For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. [14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings: [15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; [16] Holding forth the word of life;

HOW DO I KNOW THELMA MAXWELL COULD NOT LOSE HER SALVATION? DO I THINK I AM GOD TO SAY SUCH A THING?  NO! BUT I KNOW HIM AND I KNOW THE WORDS HE SPOKE?

John 11:25,26 – Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

John 5:24 – Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

LET ME DESCRIBE WHERE THELMA IS NOW?

Hebrews 12:22-24 – But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, [23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, [24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

SHE IS WITH THE ONE GODMAN JESUS FROM A MANGER!

Isaiah 9:6,7 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
