My visits to the Galactic Council of Heaven

Message 15

What would it be like if you had the chance as a prophet to speak to a prophet who has passed onto glory who has now come to earth to take you back to heaven? Bob Jones takes me to visit the Galactic Council in heaven.

Bob:

How are you today Matthew?

Matthew:

As most days it is taking me some effort to get into the mood to ascend. There is so much attack over this. This is all I can put it down to. I guess it’s the same attitude that people have when it comes to prayer and reading the Bible. They are good things to do and very helpful and yes many people have negative emotions when they think about it.

 

Bob:

As with everything worthwhile you have to push through. I saw that you were ready now so I came for you. Shall we ascend?

Matthew:

Wow. I am greeted by the Father. He hugs me and shows me to my seat.

I am overcome. God is here!

Father:

You didn’t think I would miss out on this did you my son?

Matthew:

I was guessing you see everything and are aware of everything. I am so shocked that you are here. I am so blessed.

Father:

I have been missing talking to you. You have completed Conversations with God book 1 and 2 and you have started this book. I want you to continue with book 3. I have come here to remind you to continue with them. I enjoy speak to you and your readers.

How do you like this Arena that you are in?

Matthew:

It is amazing. What is amazing is that any saint that I think of can come and speak to me here. That gets my mind spinning. I am overwhelmed at what you are doing in my life. I know others that are reading would like to come here and speak to people like me.

Father:

I built this for you. I want you to come up here often. I have a guest for you that wants to speak to you and others. I will be sitting here and watching as you speak to him.

Jonah:

Hello Matthew. Yes, I am the one that was swallowed by a big fish. People assume that was a whale. I will let that mystery stay.

Do you know what I admire about you?

Matthew:

That I will do what God shows me to do each time that he shows me?

Jonah:

Yes, that is part of it but that is not it completely. The reason that you do what God tells you to do is because of your love for him and the people of the world. It is because of your love that you do what you do.

Like yesterday, in message 14 you allowed Elijah to share about the cost about following Jesus. That was a tough message for people. It was not the cotton candy message that some people are used to. It was the meat of the Word. You were having a hard time typing it and releasing it to your readers.

I am so impressed that you don’t shrink back from what God calls you to do. It is because you care for that small percentage of people that are going to read a message like that and have a change of heart.

People know so well about how I ran from doing God’s will. People think that they would never do that. It’s amazing how people read about a saint doing something wrong and they think that they would never do the same thing.

Jesus shares the parable of the sheep and the goats. In that parable he says what you do for the stranger (homeless) the hungry, the thirsty and the naked  (orphan and homeless an others) is what you do for him.

In big cities people walk past homeless people every day without stopping and giving them some comfort. Do you know that many times these homeless people are angels and Jesus himself in multiple bodies? Do you know when the rewards are being handed out in heaven and people are wondering why they are not getting the rewards that they think they should get videos of them walking past Jesus are going to be played to them. Many people are going to be really surprised in that day.

Every time that this happens, that people walk past the hungry, naked and thirsty (( homeless that is dressed poorly) without a care for them, people are walking away from what God has called them to do. They are doing worse than what I did. At least I knew that I was running from God and his will. These people that ignore the poor in their midst think it is their right to ignore them and that God would never call them to minister to them.

Of course God does not call you to feed every homeless person, or give a drink to all of them. But people need to wake up and see these people and have compassion on them. In loving these people, they are loving Jesus.

You have met Jesus four times in the flesh Matthew. Each time you met him, he was dressed as a homeless man. It is your love for the homeless that has allowed you to meet Jesus that many times. If people wanted to have an encounter with Jesus or an angel, they would do well to start to take an interest in the poor in their midst.

Bob said to you that churches have not invited you to preach at the moment because you message is too hard for them to take. Once again today you are bringing a hard message. People don’t like to made to feel guilty and yet how are the homeless ever going to see the light and love of Jesus if the people of God don’t go to them? I have many things to say to you.

I enjoy people that know how to worship God in the things that they do with their lives and not so much in song at church. I enjoy watching people who are vessels of love to all sorts of people as they go through their week. I enjoy people who have submitted themselves to God and have humbled themselves. I enjoy watching people who are the same person with everyone that they meet. I enjoy watching people shine the light of Jesus to this broken world.

You would think that this whole world and all the people in it were going to heaven by the way that many Christians live their lives. So many people never share the hope of Jesus with anyone. God gives people so many opportunities to people and time and time again they don’t act on them. People look at me and see that I didn’t give a message of warning to Nineveh but Jesus told his followers to make disciples and so few people actually do that. Many people who attend church have not shared the hope of Jesus with anyone in the last year.

You have a book that shares how a person can prophesy to strangers and bring them hope of God called “Prophetic Evangelism Made Simple.” You go into a lot detail into how to get the right heart to be a good witness to people in that book. I wish that every Christian could get a hold of that book.

Like is said, you would think that the whole world was already going to heaven by the way that Christians live and interact with the world.

Being a witness is simple as listening to a person’s cares and troubles and instead of leaving it at that, you can offer to pray for them. It is very rare that even a non-Christian will refuse prayer. You can pray a prayer of consolation and ask God to intervene in their situation and you can watch God answer that prayer and see the whole attitude of the person change when your prayer is answered.

There are so many ways that you can be a witness in your life. You can show people love and have compassion on people. You can do something that is rare in the world, you can refuse to gossip and tell people that you are not going to have any part of it. Simply telling people that you are not going to participate in it might hurt them in the short term, but it will make an impact on them. When they are searching for love and a listening ear in the future those people will come to you because they know that their troubles and concerns will be kept private by you.

There are few negatives in my story in the Bible and I am sure that you have heard preachers preach on them and give life lessons from it.

Please listen to me.

There is a world out there that wants to hear about Jesus and the way that he can transform your life and give you peace and comfort. There is a world out there that wants to know that they have a purpose and they were created for a reason. There is a world out there that wants to feel the love of God. Are you going to go to them and share the hope of Jesus with them?

Matthew:

Is it ever going to change Jonah? Can you tell me about the future? Is the church ever going to go out to the hi ways and bi ways and bring the people in to meet God?

Jonah:

Yes, there is going to be a type of Christian who learns how to love in an extraordinary way. There is a Christian that is going to be set of fire and they are going to be witnesses to the ends of the world. There are people that are going to take the Gospel to the world that are coming. These people will be special and be anointed to do that. You speak about that group of people in your book “Optimistic visions of Revelation.”

But God is after more than these special called out ones to reach the world. God is after each saint in the world to make a difference. He is after everyone to go out and show his love to the world. He wants people to take up their cross, deny themselves and take the good message of the Gospel to the world.

Of course, God in his love and compassion isn’t going to send his Son back to the world to collect his bride yet. Of course there is going to be a group of people that witness to the world with power and all signs and wonders following. But he wants every Christian to be a witness. He wants every Christian to step out and touch someone. He wants so many things to happen and for everyone to get involved.

Matthew:

Are you honored to speak today?

Jonah:

Yes, I was so happy to speak today. I hope people don’t get me wrong. I love the church.  Jesus would love people to obey what he taught in the parables. Your book, “The Parables of Jesus Made Simple” is a good book to get an understanding of what Jesus was teaching. People need to understand that the Christian life is more than going to church and praying every day. The Christian life should be one of love, compassion and service. The Christian life should be one of giving and sacrifice. The church should come out of their four walls and come and demonstrate love to the world outside that is perishing.

The saints only say hard things because these are desperate times. The world is fast becoming a world where the standards of the Bible are said to be outdated and rigid. The people today think if it makes you happy than it is good. All sorts of sin are accepted and promoted as a good way to live. The Christians of the world through words, love and understanding need to be the light and the salt to the world. The people that have chosen things that are condemned in the Bible need to be loved, understood and directed to the love of Jesus.

These times that you live in are going to get worse and worse. The darkness is going to spread and the people of the church are going to be tempted to shrink back even more. Today people won’t witness to their work colleague in fear of reprisals yet within twenty years things are going to be much harder. People will need to be full of love and compassion and have faith and boldness to speak out and share Jesus.

The time to share Jesus is now. The time to learn how to prophesy to strangers is now. The time to read about what Jesus’ parables mean and how to apply them in your daily lives is now.

Can you imagine being an actor and being so good at your vocation that you get picked for a role that wins you can Academy award? Can you imagine the whole world cheering you on? Can you imagine continuing to act and being chosen for wonderful roles and five years later winning another Academy award. When you had won two of them, you would be part of a group of people that are very rare. Not many actors win one award let alone two.

Wouldn’t you want to share with other actors the keys to your success and how to act in such a way that it turns the hearts of people, even the industry professionals that vote for best actor. Wouldn’t it be a disservice of you to go to your grave and not share your knowledge with aspiring actors?

That is how us saints feel when we are speaking to you in these interviews. We are not here to share cotton candy messages with you. We are not here to make people feel good (Though we hope you do) We are here to share with you how to live a life that makes you perform as the best Christiaan that you possibly can be. We are here to share with you how to live a life so good that when God is handing out the eternal rewards in heaven that you have maximum reward.

Much of what we share Matthew already knows and lives. The reason we have chosen him to be the mouthpiece is that he understands the information that is being shred so he is a good one to share it with you.

Matthew has written a lot of books that he has found are helpful to people. We are not quoting his books so that reader so this book will make him rich, we are quoting his books because they are valuable resources that you can go to for more information.

We want to champion you. We have gone before you and now we want to direct you in this life that you are living. Paul had a strong message of meat. Elijah after him had a strong message and today I have had one. If you continue to read  you can be sure that many of us are going to bring messages that will have you become an Academy award winner yourself.

Father:

How was that?

Matthew:

Once again I have no idea who is going to speak and what they are going to say. I simply sit here and type away. This time we only had one saint and we didn’t have any of the 12 say anything. Jonah was a great person to give such a message. Many of us don’t think we would be a Jonah but it seems most of us are already acting that way without being aware of it.

Father:

I love you. Start to make time for your next Conversations with God book. Now give me a hug.

The Father embraces me and gives me the most smothering all-inclusive hug that there can be.

Matthew:

The saints have all started to eat what looks like fried chicken. There is a good mood in the air like a party is about to happen. I get the impression that they are all getting in a festive mood. I am told they are all going to watch the first debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump today. It is two hours in earth time till the debate is on but the party has started in heaven.

Bob:

You ready?

Matthew:

Yeah

Bob:

That was good wasn’t it. That was good to listen to. You better get back to your Conversations with God.

See ya later.

Matthew:

Bye Bob.

Matthew:

Bob took off back to heaven right away to go back to the party.

I followed him and in the Arena Whitney Houston is singing the American national anthem. The whole Arena is silent and the song brings tears to my eyes. God loves America.
