TIME FOR YOUR MEDICINE AGAIN...OPEN UP AND GET IT OVER WITH, LOL

LAUGHTER - GOOOOOOD MEDICINE!  Good for the Spirit too!

There was a hound dog laying in the yard. An old man in overalls was sitting on the porch. "Excuse me, sir, but does your dog bite?" the tourist asked. 


The old man replied, "Nope." 


So the tourist stepped out of his car. The dog ran over snarling and growling and bit him on his arms and legs. As the dog was dragging him away the tourist was flailing around in the dust and yelled, "I thought you said your dog didn't bite!" 


The old man replied, "Ain't my dog."

 here's this guy who had been lost and walking in the desert for about 2 weeks. One hot day, he sees the home of a missionary. Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and nurses him back to health. Feeling better, the man asks the missionary for directions to the nearest town. On his way out the backdoor, he sees this horse. He goes back into the house and asks the missionary, "Could I borrow your horse and give it back when I reach the town?" 

The missionary says, "Sure but there is a special thing about this horse. You have to say 'Thank God' to make it go and 'Amen' to make it stop." 

 Not paying much attetion, the man says, "Sure, ok." 

So he gets on the horse and says, "Thank God" and the horse starts walking. Then he says, "Thank God, thank God," and the horse starts trotting. Feeling really brave, the man says, "Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God" and the horse just takes off. Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he's doing everything he can to make the horse stop. 

"Whoa, stop, hold on!!!!" 

Finally he remembers, "Amen!!" 

The horse stops 4 inches from the cliff. Then the man leans back in the saddle and says, "Thank God."

here's a guy with a Doberman Pincer and a guy with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman Pincer says to the guy with a Chihuahua, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat." 

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us." 

 The guy with the Doberman Pincer says, "Just follow my lead." 

They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman Pincer puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in. 

 A guy at the door says, "Sorry, mac, no pets allowed." 

The guy with the Doberman Pincer says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." 

 The guy at the door says, "A Doberman Pincer?" He says, "Yes, they're using them now, they're very good." 

 The guy at the door says, "Come on in." 

The guy with the Chihuahua figures, "hey why not?," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in. 

 The guy at the door says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed." 

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." 

The guy at the door says, "A Chihuahua?" 

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You mean they gave me a Chihuahua!?"

God Bless You Always!

I love to make you laugh and do things to make people want to read my blog.  I rarely write any of the articles, I just decorate it.  I thank the Living God He found use of what few artistic talents I have to His glory.  I do this because I believe that now is the time to spread the Gospel.  We are a unique and awesome generation.  We can share the Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus with the world at the tip of our fingertips.  However, we should always strive to share it one on one as well.  Just pray for the opportunity and when you are ready, He will provide it.  It took a few years before I was able to actually share Him with a live person but it came natural and easy.  I planted, He reaps.  It's my greatest joy!

So while I try to have fun, my message is crucial.  The Gospel of Salvation!  Spread the News as given to the Apostle Paul by Christ Jesus Himself!  Grace!

First Corinthians 15:1-4

"For ye are saved by grace through faith and not of yourselves.  It is a gift of God.  Not of works nor deeds lest any man should boast."  Ephesians 2:8-9

God Loves You and Sent His Son who....

Died + Buried + Resurrected = SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE!

It is free because it was paid in full on Calvary!

Amen!

WE NEVER WALK ALONE BY ABALONEKID

2 Thess. 2:

13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:14 whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Eph.1:

4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:5 having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

TALK THE FAITH AND WALK THE TALK

Let's look carefully at the encounter Jesus had with Satan. IT WAS PREDESTINED! Our life in Christ was predestined. No moment in the life God gave us is meaningless. One day we will see Jesus face to face. At that moment we will have been perfected by Him. And we will know Him as He is with eyes of unhindered sight and without a sin nature! This is an incredible reality that awaits us.

Matthew 4:

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

By the way, Satan certainly attacked our Lord on many occasions after this one. We can be sure that God's faithful will always be subject to attacks from demons. That's their job! They serve Satan BUT they are under God! Created by God, they are not separate from His will for His Glory. REMEMBER JOB.

So count it a good sign ! Yes, a good sign when under attack. Attacks can be subtle as Satan tried with Jesus! "IF YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD..." then show me PROOF! Certainly Jesus could have said (if he was prideful which he was not and would not sin! "OK Satan watch this...!") And how did Jesus respond?

BY SCRIPTURE.

He did not get angry. He did not get upset. He did not hold a grievance afterwards. Jesus knew Satan could not be anything but what he is. This was not a conversion possibility as we have with lost sinners.

THINK THIS WAY. WE NEVER WALK ALONE

God is training us up for more faithful service by all the experiences we have. None are exceptions. Everyday we get up and every thought and experience we have with ourselves and others is another MOMENT IN OUR LIFE'S TIME IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

SANCTIFICATION

Is a setting apart unto God, is threefold: It is already complete for every saved person because our position toward God is the same as Christ's position. Since we are in Christ, we are set apart unto God in the measure in which Christ is set apart unto God. However we retain our sin nature, which cannot be eradicated in this life. Therefore, while our standing in Christ is perfect our present state is no more perfect than our experience in daily life. There is therefore a progressive sanctification wherein we are to "grow in grace" and to "be changed" by the power of the Holy Spirit.We sin and sin binds the Spirit and stops the progression of becoming more holy unto God. Thus we pray daily according to 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2.

God never leaves us being sealed in us in the Holy Spirit;

Eph. 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption; but will discipline us. Hebrews 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.


We believe also that we will be fully sanctified in our yet imperfect state as we are now sanctified in our standing in Christ when we shall see our Lord and shall have been transformed at the moment He calls us up and be "like Him."

1 Cor.15:
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

WE ARE BEING MADE HOLY

John 17:
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Heb.10:
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Heb.10:
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (progressively now and finally at Christ's call to come up)

2 Cor.3:
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Cor. 7: (SIN NOT = do not practice sinning and without conviction by the Holy Spirit which is evidence of not being saved)

7 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Eph.4:
24 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Eph.5:
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (when we will see Jesus at the rapture we will see Him as He is through eyes without sin anymore! And we will REJOICE in Heaven in the New Jerusalem, our home Jesus prepared for us!

1 Thess.5:
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

WE NEVER WALK ALONE

God has appointed all our days and RIGHT NOW this is when we are here, and GOD called us into this time and we are in places God has assigned by His will for us as well as choices we make which God knew in advance AND will use for His glory IF WE SUBMIT. What is submit? Walk by the Holy Spirit and NOT our carnal nature.

We want to please God. We want to walk and live in the faith we have and that is always through the Holy Spirit. God KNOWS all our sins ! and bled His sinless blood to cover them ALL! ("Propitiation" : AN ATONING SACRIFICE: JESUS PAID OUR SINS DEBT) What a GOD we have! What a Savior!

We are to SUBMIT, in that we are to be led by the Holy Spirit in this truth that nothing that happens and anywhere we are is by chance and does not concern our walk with GOD and our becoming holy like unto Jesus. This we will reach one day when Jesus calls us up. But we are :

ON THE ROAD TOWARDS GLORY AND HE IS LEADING US ACCORDING TO THE EXTENT OF OUR SUBMISSION TO HIS WILL THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US AND BY HIS WORD OF TRUTH

IN THIS UNDERSTANDING THAT NOTHING THAT HAPPENS AND ANYWHERE WE ARE , WE ARE ON GOD TIME AND BY FAITH (according to His word) ENCOUNTER OUR REALITY AND THE GREATER THIS TRUTH IS, THE MORE JESUS LIKE WE ARE LIVING IN HIM ACCORDING TO HIS WORD.

EVERY MOMENT CAN BE A MOMENT THAT OUR HEART BEATS WITH THIS REALITY: GOD IS TRAINING US UP. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS READY 24/7 TO INFORM US AND LEAD US AND BRING TO MIND BY HIS WORD (BIBLE STUDY) SOMETHING FOR GOD AND ANOTHER MOMENT IN HIS TIME (OURS TO REALIZE) WHEN HIS GLORY CAN SHINE THROUGH US .......IF WE FULLY APPRECIATE WE ARE ON:

GOD'S TIME ! & WE NEVER WALK ALONE.

AMEN!

PRAY FOR AMERICA AND SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE

To all Christians, this election is critical.  It feels like Spiritual warfare to me.  Put on the full armor of God and as prayer is our most powerful weapon, use it and use it to it's greatest power.  Be well-armed.  I know many who feel that voting is wrong or even praying for your country is wrong but I've searched the scripture, researched this and talked to many pastors and men of God and nowhere in the Bible does it say not to vote.  We are unique in we get a voice.  If you don't speak for us, don't expect the world to do it.  Remember, Jesus told us the world will hate us because it hated Him first.  He didn't lie!  

Put on the full armor of God...prayer is our most powerful weapon.  Ask for Spiritual guidance and then obey what He tells you to do, no matter what.  Let His will be done through you.  We have to win this fight or we may not have groups, blogs, websites or even churches to legally attend in a matter of months or years.  Religion is being attacked, especially Judaism, Christianity and now Roman Catholics.  If you won't vote, make sure no one else uses your name to vote for you.  But please pray!  God bless you, and God bless America and let us be His Light to the world once again and be the Christian country we were meant to be!

SHARING A PICTURE

This was posted to my FaceBook page tonight and well, I was busy watching the debate (I really hate politics, I do but this election is so critical and it IS going to determine many things and I feel as if our freedom to worship God Almighty is at stake.  There's so many issues that are so against scripture and I can't be silent.  I don't have any divine knowledge of when He is returning so I live as if He's coming tonight but I also have to think of what if it is not His appointed time and what kind of world do I want my future generations to live in.  I don't belong in this world.  It's not the one I grew up in.  Our generation has seen so many changes and our voices must be heard.  We cannot afford to remain silent any longer.  God is control and I always think of Romans 8:28..."For as we know, ALL things work to the good, for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes."  This is not any political agenda or soap box.  You vote for who you think is best for America.  Make sure you count the cost and what are you willing to pay to keep your freedom to worship Christ Jesus!  God bless you all and let's tell the world that we stand for Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!

I asked Jesus how much He loved me one day and....

He stretched out His arms and He died.

A NEW BEGINNING IN HIS POWER FOR HIS GLORY

Revival is a spiritual reawakening in the life of a believer of our love for God, His holiness, a passion for His Word SO THAT WE search the scriptures for his way and his will, a convicting awareness of personal sin, (1 John 1:5-10) humility, and a desire for repentance and growth in righteousness.

1 John 1:
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 John 2:
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLS US AGAIN AFTER SINS FORGIVEN

Revival deepens a believer's faith, opening our eyes to His truths in a new way. It involves a distinct experience of new fillings of the Holy Spirit and a life lived in obedience to God. Revival breaks sins bind in us by our confessions and the seductions of the lost world, and restores greater determination in Holy Spirit power to live in the world but not of the world.

It is initiated by a prompting of the Holy Spirit, creating an awareness of something missing or wrong in our life that can only be righted by God. In turn, we respond from the heart, acknowledging our need. Then, in a powerful way, the Holy Spirit draws back the veil the world has cast over the truth, allowing us to experience anew God's majesty and holiness. Revival brings great humility, great awe of God and His truly amazing grace (Isaiah 6:5). Revival represents a restoration of fellowship with God, though we walked backwards, in sin not confessed, for a time. Rev.2:4-5;10-11, 14-16

Revelation 2:
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will *remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.(*loss of ministry)
(His saints have His blood tipped ear! Saved BY HIS SHED BLOOD)
7 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh (if we are HIS we will overcome through Him by the Holy Spirit in us) shall not be hurt of the second death.

The evidence of revival, a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon believers, is changed lives. Great movements toward righteousness, evangelism, and social justice occur. Believers are once again spending time in prayer and reading and obeying God’s Word. Believers begin to powerfully use their spiritual gifts. There is confession of sin and repentance.

WORLD EVENTS - END TIMES PROPHECY

Babylon Bible Prophecy...

GOD IS REAL AND MANY SCOFFERS LAUGH AND RIDICULE US BUT...I have a few questions for you.  There is no doubt that Jesus walked on this earth and even mockers say He was a very good man.  Of course, that is true.  Yet they deny His divinity.  They say the Bible is a myth but admit that Jesus, Caesar, Pontious Pilate, Solomon, Daniel, David, etc. existed.  Jesus Christ fulfilled 300 plus prophecies regarding His birth.  To fulfill just 8 is astronomically impossible yet He fulfilled them all.  What was foretold He would endure, came true.  End times prophecy are occurring before our eyes.  This book is over 6,000 years old and is still the best selling book of all time.  It's not taught as mythology.  The Jews are the most hated race in the world, next is Christians.  So, if the Bible is the myth you claim it to be, why are all eyes on Israel today?  Just wondering!

THE GREAT COMMISSION OF JESUS CHRIST

The command of our Lord remains –

Matt. 28:
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The characteristics of a disciple may be simply stated as:

• one who is assured of his salvation John 3:16 and is serving in the fullness of the indwelling Holy Spirit;

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:26-27

• one who is growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.

" But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Pet.3:18; and

• one who shares Christ’s burden for the lost souls of men and women. Jesus said,

“ Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest." Mt.9:37-38 (See also: Mt. 20:1; Jn.4:35; Mk.16:15; Lk.10:2)

Paul describes the reality of taking up one’s cross and following the Lord:

" I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Gal.2:20

Jesus speaks:

" Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 14:12-13

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS MADE BY ABALONEKID

FROM BEFORE THE WORLD WAS MADE

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love"(Eph. 1:4).

I give thanks to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ , praying for all of you daily, that your faith be strengthened in these times of ever increasing apostasy and grave error.

What a Savior we have in Jesus. Through him "once saved always saved" is a God enforced truth. We believe the beautiful gospel. So many of us have walked the path of doubt as to our salvation after conduct unbecoming a saint. And because of a lack of bible study, or the failure of good counsel, we have found ourselves between a rock and hard place.

1 John 5:

"11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." 2 Timothy 2:19

"Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ..." 1 Pet. 1:2

"Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will" Eph.1:5

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Rom.8:29-30

We need to know that we have been chosen in Him in order to stand for God today. This assurance will make a world of difference in our life.

The elect are the whosoever will and the non-elect are the whosoever wont according to His purpose.

Predestination means that when God saves you He will see you through to the end.

This is all about our sanctification, our spiritual development. It is the work of God in the heart and life of the believer.

We need to know that we have been chosen in Him in order to stand for God today. This assurance will make a world of difference in our life.

1 Cor.1:8

" 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The point is that God has ordained to redeem a remnant of humanity to salvation. These elect individuals were chosen before the creation of the world, and their salvation is complete in Christ. As Paul says, “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified” (Romans 8:29-30).

SORROW

AbaloneWorld originally shared:

SORROW

"In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3

At some time in life all of us feel the loneliness of sorrow. Mary and Martha were saddened by the death of their brother, Lazarus, and Martha said to Jesus, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Theirs was a loneliness of sorrow.  The shortest verse in the Bible tells us that at the tomb of Lazarus "Jesus wept."

He enters into our sorrows. When we come to Jesus Christ, He does not promise to exempt us from trouble or sorrow.  Tears will come, but deep inside there will be a joy that is difficult to explain to you.

It is a joy from God--produced by the Holy Spirit. In the midst of trials and agony and tears which come to us all, a supernatural power is given out, producing joy.

" ASCENDED! ABSENT FROM THE BODY - PRESENT WITH THE LORD! WORD OF TRUTH LIGHTHOUSE

Many years ago I came across a short Bible study that was written with verses in 2nd. Corinthians 4:16 thru 5:8 in mind.  I will give you the verses and then share with you the short study that I recently found again in an old Bible that I had gotten out to use.  The study was tucked within the pages and as I read it again, the reasons for my keeping it became apparent.

2nd. Corinthians 4:16 thru 5:8   " Therefore we do not lose heart.  Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction,  which is but for a moment,   is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  while we do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen.  For the things which are seen are temporary but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For we know that if our earthly house (physical body), this tent,  is destroyed, we have a building from GOD,  a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  For in this we groan,  earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation (new heavenly body) which is from Heaven,  if indeed, having been clothed,  we shall not be found naked.

For we who are in this tent groan being burdened not because we want to be unclothed,  but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now HE WHO has prepared us for this very thing is GOD,  WHO also has given us the SPIRIT as a guarantee.  

Therefore,  we are always confident,  knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the LORD. For we walk by faith NOT by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the LORD. "     2nd. Corinthians 4:16 - 5:8 NKJV
