Today is July 8, 2018 and we are going to talk today about the glorified body.
We have been going through the Bible with you the past few months, looking into the end time,
what the signs of the end time are, which I will discuss briefly with you.
What the heritage is, I will also briefly discuss.
It's so we will have a summary of past preachings.
And you will not have failed to notice that we are really living in the final few days.
Are you ready? for when the Lord Jesus comes?
And that question is regularly asked: are we ready
If the Lord Jesus would come tomorrow? I can honestly say: I am.
If you are at home or here now and think: I still have people to forgive,
or I still have to clean up things, do it now, today, do not postpone.
Because you never know what will happen tomorrow.
But how do you know if you are ready for the rapture?
Well, in the first place you have to be ready and believe that the Lord Jesus will come for you too.
So if you have doubts, you do not expect him.
In that case, do not expect that you will come along.
At this moment there are lies around what is written in Timothy.
That the Lord Jesus has already been. That the thousand years of peace has long been on this earth.
Yesterday I received an email from someone who said:
I wanted to let you know Marjolein, there will soon be a book
which states that: the Lord Jesus has already been for the second time.
And that we do not have to expect the Lord Jesus to come.
And do you know what the worst of all this is? A lot of people believe in that nonsense, because it is nonsense.
And to the one who wrote the book, I challenge you to contact me.
Contact the Hoogeveen faith center. Because I really want to talk to you.
If you wrote that book, you wouldn't mind to contact us at faith center Hoogeveen.
Then we will talk about this together.
Dear people here, and dear people at home.
Do not be tempted by the false teachers.
Go and read Timothy, go look into Revelation.
How do you know that what this person states is not true.
Well I'm going to mention a few things:
1: has the millennial kingdom of peace been already?
He is going to say: yes, that was a few thousand years ago, so you don't know that.
Suppose he is right, imagine. Okay we go to 2: do you know someone who has a glorified body?
Of course you first have to know what a glorified body is. That is why we will explain it in detail.
A glorified body, I'm going to give a characteristic later, is at least a body,
that can walk through buildings, and is the same like the Lord Jesus has.
3: do you know someone who is, for example, three or four hundred years old?
No? Me neither. Then you already have a problem.
4: Have the sun and the moon already fallen from the sky?
Well, I don't know about you, but last night I saw a sun and a moon.
So maybe that's me, but ...
5: did the kingdom of God already come on this earth?
Then this man will say: yes, because God the Father lives among us.
Then again, you will have a big problem.
For God the Father would be living in a new Jerusalem, where people can go in and out, and there are gates.
Well I don't want to say much but Jerusalem is still an area of war.
So if the kingdom of God already has been, what this man claims,
then they should now have peace in Israel.
Well I do not want to be annoying, but it isn't.
Because in the Bible, in Revelation, it says, and I really want to look that up with you.
You do not have to believe me, it's just in here.
Or that man must say: you must throw away the Bible.
Well, then you certainly have a problem with God.
Because this is the scripture of the Lord Jesus.
Revelation 20 talks about the millennial kingdom.
The 1000 years of peace.
And if we just start from verse one:
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan
Hey, that's another one. Because if the kingdom of God was already on this earth,
Satan would bound for a thousand years and be released for a short while.
A short period of time. But suppose the kingdom of God had already been, that is two thousand years ago.
Then, by now we shouldn't be bothered by satan anymore right?
I do not want to be a pain but the demons are still flying around us. One after the other in all sorts and kinds.
Satan is still here.
So it's nonsense what this man is saying.
Please, do not walk into this pitfall. From the moment you're going to follow this man,
are going to believe what this man is saying, you don't you expect the Lord Jesus.
And if you don't expect the Lord Jesus, then He comes like a thief in the night!
Yes, do you see now Marjolein. He comes like a thief in the night.
No, because after that it says: for His children He does not come as a thief in the night.
And you can find that in 1 Thessalonians 5.
I challenge you to read and research that at home.
Again, don't just believe me, it says in the bible.
Today we are going to talk about the glorified body.
You people at home do not have a booklet, but here they have. We go to Philippians 3.
Because we are going to get a glorified body. But what does that body look like?
Well I know, but I can imagine that you at home think,
So what does that body look like? And where is it in the bible?
We go to Philippians 3 and we use the NBG (51) translation (Dutch translation from 1951).
And please, when you are at home, go to google
and put multiple translations next to each other.
For example the NBG (51) (Dutch), the revised King James Version (Dutch), even The Book in plain language (Dutch), and also the King James Bible (English).
The King James, that is really way more extensive written. Philippians 3
I had accidentally closed my bible already. But fortunately I also have it on the big screen here.
We have it right there. Here we go, from verse 17. Philippians 3 from verse 17.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Now I will tell you right now: there is a mystery in here.
It says here: Brethren, be followers together of me. And I have explained that quite often, here and also on the internet.
At the moment that it says brethren, He always talks about the born again people. The saints.
How do I know that? And how are you born again?
Maybe you haven't seen a video about this subject before.
From the moment you believe that the Lord Jesus is your Savior and Redeemer,
that you believe that the Lord Jesus rose from the dead,
you believe it with all your heart and all you have
and you say that, you speak it aloud, you say for example:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are my Savior and Redeemer.
I believe You rose from the dead for me, even if I was the only one in the whole wide world.
And I believe that You have washed away my sins through Your precious blood.
From the moment you proclaim that, you are His child.
And then you are a part of his body and you are male.
At this moment I am male, do you know why? Because I explain the Bible.
Galatians 3 verse 26 to 28, I will not read it for you.
Galatians 3 verse 26 to 28, I won't tell you so you need to read it in the Bible yourself.
Philippians 3 from verse 17.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping,
He is crying about it. As enemies of the cross of Christ.
Their end, the end of them who so no are brothers,
who therefore do not believe in the kingdom of God, that it still has to come,
their end is the corruption, their God is the belly,
they honor their shame, they are earthy.
That means: if you do not see the Lord Jesus as your Savior and Redeemer,
if you do not see God the Father as the Heavenly Father, the daddy of us all,
if you become a child of God, along with the Holy Spirit.
And if you are so busy with the earthly things, then you are busy with your own destruction.
Because what you sow, you will reap.
20: For our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ
And then the answer comes:
Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body according to the workingis
whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. What does that mean?
That we're going to get just such a body as the Lord Jesus. But what kind of body does the Lord Jesus have?
I want to know that too.
Well, if you look in Matthew Mark Lucas and John, those are the gospels,
and what it all says about the Lord Jesus and His birth, His crucifixion and His resurrection ...
And then He rose... And then He resurrected and then He was greeted, or actually not greeted,
He rose, and Mary was at the grave. And also his mother.
And his mother saw Him and then He did not say mother for the first time, but He said, woman
That is interesting because at the moment that He rose from the dead He was no longer the Son of Mary,
He is the Son of God. That is a mystery people. Then He no longer had His earthly mama.
So also for the people at home, Mary is as sacred as we are.
Do not go worship Mary. You cannot come to God the Father through Mary, do not do that.
That is the biggest mistake people make. Sorry there is only one way and that is Lord Jesus Christ.
If you put maria on a pedestal, then you have a problem with God. The word of God says, and it is said by the Lord Jesus,
Have no respect of person.
So when you put Mary on a pedestal, you have respect of person.
That is the same as if I say to one of you, I take you as an example, I do not name names but they are sitting in front of me.
I take you as an example and I put you on a pedestal and I am going to worship you and do you want to pray for God?
No, you get to the Father through the Lord Jesus, with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Do not put anyone on a pedestal.
The Lord Jesus rose. And then?
How many days was he on this earth before he went back to heaven?
Well, we just had Easter, and after Easter came Pentecost.
There were days in between. So you have Easter, but there was something between Easter and Pentecost.
40 days, very good. So you had Easter, then Pentecost and Ascension, and then the Lord Jesus went up.
And then ten days later came the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
In those 40 days that the Lord Jesus had here on earth, He had a new body.
And that body, you can read it in Luke, Matthew, Mark,
there are a few the texts, you have booklets, I have put some texts in there for you.
Sorry people at home, go ahead take a look. Google is your best friend.
But also the Bible online. Type:
glorified body, new body, body like the Lord Jesus.
You will find answers from the word of God: the Bible.
And then you read that the Lord Jesus could walk through walls. How do I know that?
Well, they were in a room, the doors were locked, the windows were closed, and suddenly the Lord Jesus was in their midst.
Then you read at a given moment in a part that the Lord Jesus suddenly was there and suddenly gone.
So that means that we can go from one to the other side.
Then there is something beautiful in the word of God. Because we are going to get a new body.
Why are we going to get a new body?
Because that is part of the legacy. And that part is:
before you go to heaven you must have a new body. Why?
For blood and flesh can not inherit the kingdom.
In John 3 it says: at the moment that you are born again,
you can see the kingdom of God enter.
If you are not born again, you can neither see the kingdom of God nor enter it.
But it is very clear that blood and flesh, the body, the heaven can not inherit.
So when in heaven we have no blood.
That is special. But what kind of body do we have?
We have a spiritually perfect body,
but that body can eat, drink, you can touch and you will recognize each other.
Well, that is not possible. But wait a minute, we're talking about God here!
For the Lord Jesus could eat with the people, He ate fish He ate all sorts of things.
We had to laugh out loud this week because someone said: the Lord Jesus is vegetarian.
And then that person said: there is nowhere in the Bible that He ate meat.
Yes, he ate fish. Yes, but fish is not meat ... well, come on.
It is about your body being able to eat.
Do you know why? We will soon go to the wedding meal, the wedding party.
But too bad, you have a spiritual body so you can not eat anyway.
Well that's a shame. So you go to the banquet, then you also get a body that can eat?
And the Lord Jesus said at the sacrament:
this is the last time I eat and drink with you until I come to collect you.
So I already have proof that we will soon be eating and drinking.
And not like in a movie. Someone will then receive gunshots, then drink a glass of water and then spray the water in all directions.
No, that's when you've seen that movie.
But the point is, you can just enjoy everything that He has made.
Today I will briefly go through a few things, and we'll make sure it's also on the internet.
I want to briefly review: the signs of the rapture.
When are you ready? And how do you know that the rapture is starting?
1. You can find this in 1 Thessalonians 4 verses 13 through 18.
1 Thessalonians 4: 13 to 18. And here on the big screen we will read that.
1 Thessalonians 4: 13 to 18 and read along people, also at home.
That's why I repeat it. Put it on pause for a moment, grab your Bible!
1 Thessalonians 4 verse 13 to 18. Here it comes:
The coming of the Lord. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,.
Brothers again, that's funny, it's about the born again.
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, what I just told,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
And now it comes: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
so the people who breathe, I still breathe,
those who remain behind until the coming of the Lord will in no case precede the fallen asleep,
1: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
a sign, that can be a bang, that can be a light(flash),
that can be anything, a shout, the trumpet will come later, very well, it will come,
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, (1), 2 with the voice of the archangel,
that is a well known archangel and that will probably be Michael,
Michael is an archangel, together with Gabriel. And with the trump of God.
Look there's the trumpet, someone imitated a trumpet.
And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
That means that the graves open. And Satan is an imitator.
So I'll tell you now, that on a given moment, because you already hear that,
there are many signs in clouds that are weird, and people hear trumpets who say look the Lord is there, the Lord is there.
no, these five things have to happen.
Why 5? Because there is also the five-fold ministry.
The apostle, the prophet, the evangelist, the shepherd, and the teacher.
5-fold ministry. Five things have to to happen.
1. a shout by the Lord Himself, a sign. 2. the calling of the archangel,
3. then a trumpet, 4. then the graves open, and 5 is that the born again who died go up
and we go after that.
Satan can do a lot. Seriously, satan is a bastard.
a sly bastard, we must be aware for Satan.
how do you do that? James 4: 7 it says: that is the same as what the Lord Jesus said,
the moment satan comes to gnaw you, you say: it is written, and with authority, it is written
James 4 verse 7: we submit ourselves only to God the Father, the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit
and now get away from me! Satan can do much but one thing he can not.
He no longer has power over death. He can not open those graves.
He can not make those people resurrect from the dead, he can not.
And he also can't give us a glorified body either. So those five things must happen.
And then, do you know what will happen next? Then you go up on a cloud and then the door of heaven closes.
I have asked God, Lord, leave me here last.
I do not mind, I know that I'm going anyways.
All those other people are allowed first. But just as the Lord Jesus is ahead of us in everything, we will follow him.
So there will still be a few people here for a few days, with a glorified body.
Why? Because the Lord Jesus did that too.
Because we are talking about 2000 years of graves. Not 6000 years, 2000 years.
Why not 6000? Well that is because the old testament was 4000 years long.
The Lord Jesus was born, He went on the cross, and then something happened.
Then He died ... satan thought. Not. He was in the realm of the dead for three days,
Retrieved the realm of the dead, and all those people who were in the realm of the dead went to paradise,
not to heaven. No, to paradise.
Because heaven is still empty. The only ones living there are God the Father, the angels, the Lord Jesus
and a number of people. But I challenge you. Go check out faith-school.com.
Look around, go read texts. There were multiple raptures.
One of them you know, someone was picked up with a horse and cart. And you can think of the rest yourself.
Do not make it up, read and see it in the Bible.
Then we descend, the door closes. Well that was it. Well fun.
No, then your life finally starts. Then we will go to the wedding party.
We are not the bride, we are the church. For the bride is the new Jerusalem.
That is in Revelation. Go and read that. Revelation 29 and 21, and go and find that out.
And otherwise you look at the past sermons, there it is explained very clearly.
Then we will arrive and we will get the inheritance.
That's nice, but what kind of heritage do we get?
Well ... A check is made as to whether there is still enough space for this recording because we are almost at the end of the sermon. Because I made a combination for you.
I made a list of the legacy and that will be on the website.
1. eternal life. Well, that is nice to everyone who believes, John 3: 16-18: everyone who believes has eternal life.
It does not say: everyone who believes goes to heaven. It doesn't say that.
It says: one who believes has eternal life (1).
2. We may become holy.
Holy is, from the moment you are born again, you will receive the Holy Spirit in you as collateral,
and then He is going to be your Teacher. Then you also understand what is in here (the Bible).
3. the wrath of God is not upon us. Immediately clear:
the wrath of God is not for you. So that means he does not get angry.
The oppression will soon be. And in Revelation 3 is something very beautiful:
that we are not going through that oppression. Grab your Bible people.
Just go pick it up and read in it. In Revelation 3, especially in the first part:
that we do not go through the tribulation.
Yes there is already a thumbs up here, like: yes! That's part of it. And that's right too.
The wrath of God can be read in Romans 5. Romans 5: 9.
Then that glorified body, I just explained that a little bit.
Then we get a key from God to come into the holiest of holies.
That means that you may come to the throne of God and come face to face.
And do you know what is fun? You can even go sit on God's lap. He is your Dad.
And then people think: oh no, oh how bad, because you have to be very respectful with Him.
Of course it is, but He is your Daddy! He is so happy that His children are finally there.
Then go to Him, be happy, be enthusiastic. I know one thing:
if I may be last, you all have already been, then I'll take a sprint because I have a new body,
so I'm going to run, I'm doing a backflip, I'm going to dance. And then I run towards Him
and then I jump on His lap and then I say: hey, finally.
And then I will give the Lord Jesus a hug and I will give the Holy Spirit a hug. Why? Because it's possible!
It says right here. Just because it's possible. Do not be scared guys.
He is our Dad. And He loves us. But He knows what is best for us.
But we are not there yet. We have even more.
We are also going to experience the wedding supper.
We're going to eat with Him. So that body of us is new.
We are going to eat with him so it is a spiritual but fantastic body. Then we get our wages.
This is important. Because if you do not get to heaven, you will not get your wages either.
What you sow you will reap. You guys at home,
do not sow scanty people. So many people are stuck with stuff,
to cars, to bicycles, to money. Yes also money.
I know people who say: you can have everything from me except money.
Stupid, don't do that and don't say that to God, because then God will test you.
Okay, just give everything away. There are people in this room here, who have given up everything for God.
A lot of people now think, and maybe at home, that's what Marjolein asked for.
I did not ask that, that's what God asked for. But remember one thing: these people get so much.
There is a couple here that lived in a tent. They have given up everything God. Not for me, but for God.
These people will harvest so much. For the Lord says in His word:
What you have given to God, what you have lost, you will get back a hundredfold.
One hundred tents. No, just kidding, she gets a bungalow.
The beauty is, if you have something at home, if God asks you something, give it people.
You can not take it with you. You can not take it with you, but go ask God who it should give
Do not think: I will give it to the faith center. I do not ask that at all.
Ask God what to do with it. Yes also you at home, you there on the couch on the left.
Yes, you think how can I see you? Because God says so. So yes you too.
The point is, imagine you have 1 million in the bank.
Or ten million in the bank. Just give it to God. What does it matter to you.
You will never fall short.
And do that consciously. Because even at home, too many people hold on to everything. Just don't do that.
And then something. If you see people walking outside with heavy bags, go and help them.
I also mentioned it a few weeks ago and it comes back again.
If you see someone walking with a bicycle with a flat tire, stop once.
Go ask that person: can I help you. If it rains very hard and you see someone walking with his bike,
stop. Ask if you can give them a ride.
But everyone is racing past. I once stood next to the highway.
I stood there and it was pouring. Did you think someone stopped? And then I prayed: Lord help!
And He sent 4 angels. The bottom plate of my car had fallen off
and he was lying on the floor and I heard bam! And I looked and I thought: oh oh.
So I was standing on the emergency lane. And did you really think someone stopped?
And then I prayed and I said: Lord help. And at one point there were 4 cherubs,
they are angels with wings, and we walked to the car
and I lifted that plate, I could never have lifted that plate, but I'm lifting that plate
and that plate was pressed so tightly and held by the cherubim and I was able to drive back again.
And I really still had to drive a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes. Nothing is impossible for God.
If we ask something in sincerity, if you get into a situation that is difficult, ask for help.
Earnings. We receive so much more wages than you can think of.
There are also animals in heaven by the way. I just wanted to say that.
A pigeon came from heaven. Oh, maybe there is still a pigeon.
And a horse and cart came from heaven. Oh maybe there are horses, that's nice.
Do you understand? There are animals in heaven.
Then: we may face-to-face, we are talking about the inheritance,
talk to him. And we are going to judge angels.
To judge angels: 1 Corinthians 6: 3. We are going to Judge about how the angels served us.
You may ask God: please send angels. Would you send cherubs to help me?
Three more things. 1. we are allowed to live in the Father's house. For the Lord Jesus was going to make places to live in the Father's house.
Why is it called Father's House? Why is not it called God's house?
He is a Father for His children. Father's house: John 14: 2.
Notice the small nuances in the Bible people.
There is Father's house there is not God's house. So if you are not a child of God, you will not enter the Father's house.
Then we will do something very beautiful.
At the moment the wedding is over, the meal is over, the party has been,
then we will return to earth on white horses. I'm not making this up, it's in the word of God.
Revelation 19:11. And finally: we are going to rule with Him.
And that is in the word of God: that that is the inheritance.
We are going to reign with Him.
That means: God the Father has given His Son all power.
Then the Lord Jesus ascended again and then the Lord Jesus gave all power back to God the Father.
And soon we will arrive in heaven and then God the Father, the Lord Jesus and the holy spirit,
will look at everything you have done here, what you have done well, well done faithful servant.
Imagine that you got 1 talent. Then it is up to you to make 2, 3, 5 or 10 talents out of it.
I'm actually saying it wrong. Because you are born with talents,
and the gifts you get from the Holy Spirit.
A talent is something beautiful, but even a talent with which you are born can be developed
In the past I could not really sing that well.
But occasionally I hear my voice being so anointed that I can sing super nice.
He does that at a time when it is most needed.
But He did not make me a worship leader. A few of people here are.
But if you do not do anything with it then, then God can also take that ministry away from you again.
But if your ministry is taken away here, you will not get it back there either.
So, guys, this is immediately an admonition for you at home.
It is not a reprimanding sermon, it is about this: be happy, be enthusiastic.
And if God has given you something, do it with joy.
Because if you do something, but not with joy, you better not do it.
If you give something, do it with joy. It is not blessed if you do not give joy.
In the beginning of the Bible there is a story of Abel and Cain. Cain in English.
One was a shepherd and the other was a farmer.
A farmer who made and did everything around and on land.
And the man working on the land gave a little,
but that shepherd picked out the most beautiful creature he nurtured and he gave it to God.
And then God blessed that shepherd. He was not happy with that other offering.
If you give something do it with joy. And the Lord says, and with that I close.
The Lord Jesus is in heaven. There is a very beautiful story in the Bible,
from the landlord, that's God the Father, and that man is gone for a while.
And He then says: Blessed is the man that is busy at the moment I return.
I know personally, the Holy Spirit told me that the Lord Jesus is coming back very soon.
Suppose, and so I'm not saying that He will come tomorrow, but suppose He comes back tomorrow.
Then I am going to work hard today and also work hard tomorrow. Why?
Because I want him to be proud of me, really proud of me.
That I was, in the last second before that trumpet sounds,
that I have done everything that God asked of me and more.
I will tell you, we have a bridal business across the street. Magnificent.
I know He will be coming soon but we have already sold a dress for next year.
I make sure everything is ready, together with our great team. That everything is ready,
that that bride can marry next year. Because that bride may not go along at all.
But if you know the Lord Jesus is coming tomorrow, then you should go work really hard today.
And I challenge you. Go work hard for the Lord.
Be happy, because your inheritance is ready for you. And I bless you in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Be happy, be enthusiastic, because He is there for you. Amen
