1 Corinthians 15:35-41~ The Glory of the Heavenly is one kind †

1 Corinthians

15:35-41

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”

36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

39 For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.

41 There is one glory of the sun,
and another glory of the moon,

and another glory of the stars;

for star differs from star in glory.

Edward has been showing me different video clips of people discussing seeing Heaven, God's Kingdom and coming back to discuss what they've seen. So many different view points of Heaven.

Revelation 7:9

After this I looked,

and

behold,

a great multitude that no one could number,

from every nation,

from all tribes and peoples and languages,

standing before the throne

and

before the Lamb,

clothed in white robes,

with palm branches in their hands

Each point of view of the vast Kingdom of God is different. Not in looks, but in the Righteousness of God. One woman was shown the pattern, the interweaving of good and evil choices. All things work together for good, for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose.

We see our lives with people God has given us, places, work, Church, cars on the highway going toward our very firm lives. The Heaven she was shown said life is really the choices we make. And they ripple and form life.

Ecclesiastes 11:1

Cast your bread upon the waters,

it will come back to you.

Book of Common Prayer, 1662

Almighty God, unto all hearts be open,

all desires known

and

from Whom no secrets are hid.

There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.

41 There is one glory of the sun,

and another glory of the moon,

and another glory of the stars;

for star differs from star in glory.

1 Peter 4:10

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another,

as good stewards of God's varied grace:

James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,

coming down from the Father of lights,

with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Romans 11:29

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith.

And this is not your own doing;

it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Romans 12:3-8

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching.

2 Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift!

Psalm 69

Let your salvation, O God, set me on high!

30I will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31 This will please the LORD more than an ox

or a bull with horns and hoofs.

32 When the humble see it they will be glad;
you who seek God,

let your hearts revive.

33 For the LORD hears the needy

and

does not despise His own people who are prisoners.

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him,

the seas and everything that moves in them.

35 For God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and

people shall dwell there

and possess it;

36t The offspring of His servants shall inherit it,
and

those who love His Name

shall dwell in it.

Luke 1

16 And He will

turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,

17 and He will

go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah,

to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,

and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,

to make ready

for the Lord

a people prepared.

Matthew 19:26

Jesus looked at them

and said,

"With man this is impossible,

but with God all things are possible."

1 Thessalonians 3:13

So that He may establish your hearts

without blame

in holiness

before our God

and Father

at the coming of our Lord Jesus

with all His saints.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a steadfast spirit

within me.

Ezekiel 36:26

Moreover, I will give you a new heart

and put a new spirit within you;

and I will remove the heart of stone

from your flesh

and give you a heart of flesh.

Deuteronomy 30:6

“Moreover

The Lord your God will circumcise your heart

and the heart of your descendants,

to love the Lord

your God

with all your heart

and with

all your soul,

so that you may live.

Abba, Father,

We come together to pray

and ask You to be present,

hear this prayer, please,

in Jesus Christ.

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ.

Help us to find and bring

to become

more Heaven

to this earth.

Help us with our needs

today

and You will help us tomorrow as well.

You have given us gifts

and one day

every tongue will confess

Jesus is the Lord.

You will see what we wove on earth.

Bless Israel with peace,

Bless families with living, loving hearts,

Reawaken God being first.

Bless this Nation.

Bless the Nations who need You.

In Jesus,

Amen.
