In both the Old and New Testaments we see examples of believers who the Lord allowed to experience heaven while they were still alive on earth.  In Exodus 24, Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and seventy of the leaders of Israel were taken up into heaven where they shared a meal together with the Lord on sapphire streets.  The prophet Ezekiel saw the Lord and the heavenly realm on multiple occasions.  So did Isaiah.  The Apostle Paul wrote about a time that the Lord brought him up into heaven that was so astounding he did not even know whether or not he was still in his body, and he wasn’t able to share all he saw and heard (2 Corinthians 12).  The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John after a lengthy and detailed encounter with the Lord in heaven.  Much of what these believers saw and wrote about in the Bible is hard for us to fully comprehend even to this day, but each of them were allowed by the Lord to see Him and experience His heavenly realm while they were still alive on earth.

So we know from the Bible that believers have had the “door” to heaven opened to them by the Lord so that they could vividly see, hear and experience the reality of the heavenly realm from here on earth.  But do those kinds of visions and visitations still happen today?  Does God (who is the same yesterday, today and forever) still open the heavens to believers like that?  If you watch the REVEALING HEAVEN episode of Everlasting Love TV with Patricia King you will find out!

REVEALING HEAVEN

The REVEALING HEAVEN episode of Everlasting Love TV is all about heaven, and what is amazing is that Patricia King is joined by a guest who has actually been there!  As Kat Kerr shares with Patricia King, you will be amazed to hear how the Lord has repeatedly taken Kat up into heaven with Him.  You will hear her share about her vivid encounters with Jesus in heaven. As powerful and fascinating as these testimonies are, the most amazing thing about what Kat shares is that God-encounters like this are available to every believer through the blood of Christ.  Jesus opened the heavens to us on the cross!

All through the Bible we see that God used women to achieve His purposes.  One example from the Old Testament is in Judges four and five when Deborah, a prophet of God, was raised up by the Lord to be the Judge of Israel.  She not only served God’s people but also followed God’s leading into battle against Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army.  Her efforts along with Barak’s, and the woman Jael’s, helped to bring down Sisera and the Canaanite army.  All part of God’s plan to subdue the Canaanites and deliver Israel from their oppression.

In the New Testament we see God using young Mary to birth our Savior, Jesus.  God also entrusted her to care for Jesus as He grew.  It was also a woman, another Mary, who was the first to see the Risen Lord and who brought the news to the disciples.

All through the Bible, and all through time, the Lord has raised up and empowered women as part of His plans.  And yet there remains a controversy in the church about whether or not women belong in ministry.  Many questions have been raised, scriptures have been searched, and discussions have gone on for decades about this.  We think open discussion and dialogue in a godly atmosphere of honor and love is always healthy.  On the WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINES episode of Everlasting Love TV, Faytene Grasseschi joins Patricia King to discuss women in ministry

WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINES

It seems, in this hour that the Lord is bringing women forward and using them on the “front lines” of ministry. As you watch this episode you will hear God’s heart for His daughters, and be a part of the discussion that digs into scriptures that promise that there will be a time when there is a “great company of women” who declare the word of God. We believe this is that hour.  And that Patricia King and Faytene Grasseschi are powerful examples of this.

If you are a woman who feels called to ministry, or a leader who sees a call of God upon women you are overseeing, be sure to watch WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINES.

Remember the story in the Gospels about the rich young man?  He found out what he needed to do to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, to be saved, and ended up walking away.  However, even though at that moment he gave up on Jesus, I do not think Jesus ever gave up on him.  I believe that the Lord continued to pursue that man with His love and goodness, just like Jesus continues to pursue everyone.  Jesus Christ is not a one-shot God.  He is a God who continually pursues us with His goodness and loving kindness, giving us opportunity after opportunity to say yes to Him!  Perhaps days or weeks or months later, that rich young man had another encounter with Jesus, and perhaps at that time he realized that there is nothing more valuable or more precious or of greater worth than knowing the Lord and receiving salvation and the Kingdom of Heaven through Him and His love that He proved at the cross.

Jesus said it was difficult for a rich person to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, not impossible.  Nothing is impossible for God.  The challenge is for those of us who are “rich” in anything to realize that we do not have to give up the riches, we have to give up valuing them above valuing Jesus!

On the FROM WALL STREET TO DEATH ROW episode of Everlasting Love TV, you will hear and see the story of a modern day rich man who had an encounter with Jesus much like the one we read about in the Gospels.  His name is Dale Recinella, and when he joins Patricia King you will hear his amazing story.

FROM WALL STREET TO DEATH ROW

Dale had a big career in finance that had him handling billions of dollars and working massive deals. In the midst of this high-powered career he had an incredible face-to-face encounter with Jesus Christ that left him changed forever.  Richard shares with Patricia King how his encounter with Jesus not only saved him from a life-threatening disease but also launched him into a ministry of compassion and caring for the suffering.

Watch FROM WALL STREET TO DEATH ROW and expect to be changed as the Lord reaches out to touch you similar to how He touched Dale.

Just because something looks or sounds good does not always mean that it is good.  The Apostle John gave godly warning to this in his first epistle when he instructed us that we had to “test the spirits” of what we hear (1 John 4:1).  And in 2 Corinthians 11, the Apostle Paul gives a similar warning about how many can wrap themselves in the guise or appearance of godliness and righteousness but their intent can actually be to draw people away from God.  Paul goes on to say that satan himself can appear as an angel of light but just because he can look that way does not mean he is of the kingdom of light.  Jesus also taught on this when he spoke about how a bad tree cannot bear good fruit – in other words, just because a tree might look good or sound good, if it is not bearing good kingdom fruit, it is not good no matter how it looks.

We never need to fear the enemy’s deceptions.  Holy Spirit’s ability to lead us in all truth is much more powerful than the enemy’s ability to deceive us!  But we do need to be aware, and test the spirit of what we are hearing before we receive it into our hearts, minds and lives.

SNAKES IN THE LOBBY

Scott MacLeod is someone who has lived this all firsthand.  On the SNAKES IN THE LOBBY episode of Everlasting Love TV, Scott joins Patricia King to share about his experiences in the Christian music industry. Scott has been a successful Christian musician and producer.  In his career he worked with some of the biggest companies and biggest names in the worship industry.  And his story is an eye-opening one – literally!  During his time in the Christian music business Scott saw many things that broke his heart and taught him how worldly mixture, love of money, and desire for fame can twist and pervert even the best kingdom intentions.  Watch the SNAKES IN THE LOBBY episode of Everlasting Love TV, and listen as Scott shares with Patricia King some of what he experienced, and how we can press into God and allow Him to keep our hearts pure as we pursue His call upon our lives.

The world would tell us that at a certain age we all begin to go “down hill.”  The world would tell us that when we get “old” it is time to retire, to sit back and no longer be a part of what is going on all around us.  Well, Jesus told us to love not the world.  He also told us that He has given us an abundance of life (John 10:10).  And nowhere in that scripture does it say that His abundance of life is only for teenagers, or those who are in their 20s or 30s or 40s.  No, Jesus’ words are eternal.  They are spirit and they are LIFE.  For everyone who believes.  No matter what their age.

VIBRANT AGING

When Moses was 80, he stepped fully into the call of God on his life.  And he had much greater impact for God, for the Kingdom, and for God’s people at that age than at any time when he was younger.  When Caleb was in his 80s he said he felt as vibrant as he had as a young man, and knew that he was still well able to lay hold of what God had promised them.  Both of these men show us that when we are following God, we can age vibrantly and still have plenty of “oomph” and impact in the world for the Lord.

Jesus promises that He is “the way, the truth, and the LIFE.”  So when we are in Christ we are in Him who is LIFE.  We never need to lack for an abundance of life because He who is LIFE is in us and we are in Him.

So, how do we lay hold of this abundance of life?  In the VIBRANT AGING episode of Everlasting Love TV, James Goll joins Patricia King to share how we can be fully alive and abundantly fruitful in every season of our lives. There is no age that cannot be an age of joy, strength, and abundance when we abide in Christ. It is time we stop believing the lie of the world that says as we age we spiral downward and become less relevant. It is time to grab hold of God’s truth that promises that as our days are, so shall our strength be!

Listen to the wisdom that James Goll and Patricia King share in the VIBRANT AGING episode of Everlasting Love TV, and discover how you can be fruitful and full of life at all times and at every age!
