A Consciousness of Heaven, Part 3

As we continue to explore the Consciousness of Heaven, we want to begin to examine some of the dynamics for which this consciousness creates. Whenever a person is from a "foreign country," there are certain cultural characteristics that they're going to possess that distinguish them from those who were born in that particular nation. Things such as language, dress, foods they eat, etc.

The same should be the case with the Church. Heaven carries with it a particular "culture." And those who carry a Consciousness of Heaven will exhibit the traits of that culture. One of the first traits is Supernatural Power. The mainstream Church needs to understand that God did not create humanity to live in the Natural, He made us to operate in the Supernatural. Human limitations, restrictions and finitude is a result of the Fall; it does not represent God's original design for humanity nor this Earth. When you get to Heaven (presuming you get there) you'll find that everything is Supernatural. Why? Because the entire environment is charged by the Glory of God. People fly in Heaven. Nobody is sick in Heaven. People don't hold their breath under water in Heaven. So if it's that way in Heaven, why not here on Earth? Because of our lack of Heaven Consciousness. That's why Jesus is the Model, not just for the church but for Humanity. We're "supposed" to walk on water. We're "supposed" to be able to raise the dead. We're "supposed" to be able to turn water into wine. Why? Because that's what the Consciousness of Heaven produces.

But the greatest attribute of the Consciousness of Heaven is Love. This is more of a mystery than anything else because the Bible clearly states that God is Love (I John 4). We often forget that we are made in the Image of God. In Heaven, it is saturated with the Love of God. A Love that exceeds human comprehension and imagination. As we strive for the Consciousness of Heaven, let us press into what Heaven and the reality thereof is really all about, The Eternal Love of God.
