And Heaven Came Down
"Jesus came and told his disciples, 'I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.'" Matthew 28:18
Jesus looked down from heaven and saw all that troubled his people. He saw the uncertainty and the fear. He saw how some fell to their knees in prayer, trusting him to care for them while the world went crazy. And it warmed his heart.But others scurried about trying to figure out how to fix everything on their own, or shuttered themselves in their homes and paced the floors. How he...

Peace Amid Uncertainty
"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!" Isaiah 26:3
Watching over the earth, Jesus looked down from heaven."Why are my people so afraid?" he wondered aloud."Oh, Jesus," Kate James took her Savior's hand. "You know how it is. Uncertainty breeds fear.""True." Jesus squeezed her hand. "I understand human frailty all too well. Yet My Father has proven Himself for millennia. And still, His children don't trust Him.""It's the not knowing." Kate...

Above All, Pray
"Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." 3 John 1:2
"God hears you. He is listening to hear from His people. He wants to heal your land."Chad stirred from the dream. His grandmother Kate appeared to him from heaven, offering her own brand of encouragement. He chuckled. Grandma Kate had been as strong-willed as a woman could get, yet she'd always submitted to her God. Not so much to Grandpa, but he'd had ways of getting his way....

Who's to Blame?
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. ...Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:1;3 NIV
This mess has to be someone's fault. And it isn't mine.When everything goes wrong, our human nature wants someone to blame. When were stressed, when life lets us down, and especially when we feel like we havent measured up, our sinful human pride looks for someone to blame - a scapegoat - someone to throw under the bus....

Peace of Mind
Dont worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience Gods peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Rachels world was changing faster than she could keep up. Everything seemed to be falling apart her family, her finances, and as a result, now even her faith.Where was God when she needed Him most?Facing a sink...

Nothing to Fear
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
Jesus looked down from heaven onto the earth, and all the turmoil He saw there. His people grew frightened to leave the house, to mingle in crowds, and to send their children to school. And for good reason. The earth had grown into a scary place - threats of illness and disaster loomed at every turn. He looked down on Rachel James, as she prepared her children for school. Her daughter...

Breaking Free
"For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17
Looking down from heaven, Kate watched her granddaughter Rachel struggle to get her young daughter to dress for school."Please, Jessica," Rachel pleaded. "If you don't get dressed now, you're going to miss the bus." "I don't care!" Jessica threw herself onto the floor, kicking and screaming, "I don't wanna go to school!"Kate chuckled. "Oh how that one reminds me of myself.""Ah, yes."...

The Premonition
“We believe we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.”Acts 15:11 NLT
Kate James felt a calling, deep in her soul. The warm yearning drew her toward the pearly gates.Her heart bubbled with excitement. By some miraculous knowing that she’d only experienced since entering heaven, she anticipated meeting a new brother.A brother she’d known back on earth – but who could it be?Anxious to meet this newly transformed soul, her steps quickened across the fluffy cloud...

Window from Heaven
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." 1 Corinthians 13:12
Kate James had just entered heaven, and already her husband John wanted her to look back at the earth.Although technically, no one was tied to another as husband and wife in heaven. She didn’t fully fathom that yet, since John had been her husband for over sixty years until he passed away. She’d kept celebrating their anniversary on June 30th...

Babies in Heaven
“Be careful that you not corrupt one of these little ones. For I can assure you that in heaven each of their angelic guardians have instant access to my heavenly Father.”Matthew 18:10 The Passion
Back on earth in the late 1940s, mere months after Kate and John’s wedding, they’d left England together. It was their homeland and all they’d ever known, but their country had been torn apart by war. Young and ambitious, John yearned for a new life in America. Although reluctant to leave her family,...
