After He told the 11 not to be troubled, Jesus Christ revealed to them the end result of our salvation: a furnished mansion in heaven. "In My Father's house are many mansions. I am going to prepare a place for you".
Think about it…If our earthly father’s house is so important, how much more important and secure is our supernatural Father’s house? These are a few things I know about my Father's house:
1. God Himself is there, with His Son and the Holy Spirit – 1 John 5:7, Revelation 22:1-5
2. Even though I live here on planet earth in the natural, I have been supernaturally deposited in my mansion above since the day I knew Jesus – Ephesians 2:4-8. Apostle Paul observes here that we can live on earth with heaven's inviciblity and mentality.
Benefits of my father’s house:
1. Love and not hatred – Ephesians 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:4
2. Rest from troubles – Matthew 11:28
3. Peace from unrest – John 14:27
4. Power and not weakness – Revelation 12:10, 2Timothy 1:7
5. Harmony and not disunity – John 17:21
6. Victory and not defeat – Revelation 17:14, Romans 8:37
7. Authority and not slavery – Revelation 4:11, 5:12
8. Abundance and not lack – Revelation 7:13-17
9. Good health and not sickness and disease – Revelation 22:1-5
10. Refuge from the storms of life – Isaiah 25:4
11. Joy and gladness, not sorrow and shame – Romans 14:17
12. Appointment and not disappointment – 1Peter 2:5-6
If I am troubled, I know where to run to - my Father's House.
