“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
One day as I was talking with the Holy Spirit, He said to me, “Myles, what are you?”
I said, “Spirit.”
He said, “Yea! You got that down! Do you know that spirits can not die?”
I said, “This is true.”
Then He said, “Why do humans think in terms of time only? I came back to earth to introduce humans to eternity.”
I said, “Whoa!”
Then the Holy Spirit showed me how God had designed us to live forever. He said, “If you have to live forever, which you will, what are you going to do? God intended you to live forever because spirits never die. And you have to live forever being fulfilled. God never makes anything without a purpose. So you are designed to live forever and you’ve got to be fulfilling your purpose in life. God had to make sure He stored enough in you to last forever so you will never get bored.”
That blew my mind. We are going to live forever. Sometimes we sing: “When I get to Heaven I’m going to praise the Lord for a thousand years.”
“What are you going to do after that?” “Well, then I’ll walk around the streets of gold for another thou sand years.”
“What are you going to do after that?” You have eternity to live. After a million years of worshiping and bowing and keeping com pany with the angels, what are you going to do? Your mind is so small. You think, “Wow. Look what I have accomplished.”
God says, “Gosh, your life is a spot in eternity—just a drop in eternity. You will not begin really living until you leave time and enter eternity.”
God has packed so much into you that the book He wrote on you is only the book for time. Your potential from birth to death is contained in that book— a book so full of expectations that David says it is “vast.”
You will not begin really living until you leave time and enter eternity.
