Ours is a prophetic church family and by His grace, we have become living proofs of the efficacy of the prophetic Word, both as a commission and as individuals. To God be all the glory!
We have also come to understand that every true prophetic word is a sworn verdict, that is, the contents remain binding on God to fulfill when our part of the deal is settled. As it is written;
“The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand” – Isaiah 14:24
However, our part is to believe while God’s part is to perform. For
“…blessed is she that believeth: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord” – Luke 1:45
That is, when we believe the prophetic word, we commit God’s hand to perform – Isaiah 53:1, 1 Kings 8:15, 24
But what is Heaven on Earth all about?
It is simply experiencing the realities of heaven in the now, that is, whatever is not obtainable in heaven, the throne of God, is not permitted to be found in and around us.
We must also appreciate the fact that there are two kinds of Heaven recognized in scriptures:
- The Present Day or Earthly or Temporal Heaven – Luke 11:20, Luke 17:21, Revelations 12:12
- The Heaven of the great beyond or the Heaven beyond the clouds. The Eternal Heaven where the throne of God is domiciled – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelations 20:6, Revelations 22:3
It is interesting to note that these two heavens confer the dominion of the Saints – Revelations 22:1-5
But What Does Heaven Look Like?
- Heaven is the home of overcomers – Revelations 2:7, 11, 17, 26
- Citizens of heaven prevail where others travail – Revelations 12:7-11
- Heaven is the epitome of splendor – Revelations 21:14-21, 2 Corinthians 8:9
- There are only mansions in heaven – John 14:12
- All the mansions are built of pure gold – Revelations 21:18
- All the streets are paved with gold – Revelations 21:21
- The walls of the city are built with costly pearls – Revelations 21:18-19
- All that dwell in heaven are free from death, sorrow and pains – revelations 21:4
- All that dwell in heaven are free from curses, cannot be enchanted and cannot be oppressed – Revelations 22:3
- We live like the angels of God in heaven
- In Heaven, believers take on the nature of angels – Matthew 22:23-30
- Angels recognize us as brethren because we share some nature with them in Heaven – Revelations 19:9-10, Revelations 22:8-10
- The leaders of the seven churches in the book of Revelation were referred to as angels – Revelations 2:1, 8, 12, Revelations 3:1, 7, 14
- Believers shall literally be walking as spirit-beings in this end-time – Psalm 104:4, Hebrews 1:7
This is why all that dwell in heaven:
- Excell in strength like the angels of God – Psalm 103:20
- Are supernaturally intelligent like angels – 2 Samuel 14:20
- Command supernatural exploits like angels – Isaiah 37:36
- Rule in the midst of enemies like angels – Genesis 19:4-16, Psalm 100:1-3
- Heaven is the Seat of Dominion
- Heaven still rules on the earth – Daniel 4:25-26, 30-31
- Heaven’s dominion is from everlasting to everlasting and from generation to generation – Daniel 4:34-35
- The Most High still rules in the Kingdom of men and gives it to whosoever He wills – Daniel 4:25, 32
- No force can challenge the authority of heaven on earth – Daniel 4:35
- And the Kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the Saints of the Most High whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and all dominion shall obey and serve him – Daniel 7:27, Micah 4:1-2
- The Kingdom of this world shall soon become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ – Revelations 11:15, Obadiah 1: 21
But the prayer altar is a vital gateway to heaven on earth:
- Elijah prayed and the heavens gave rain – 1 Kings 18:41-46, James 5:15-16
- Jesus prayed heavens d own on the Mount of Transfiguration – Luke 9:28-35
- Jesus taught us to pray heavens down – Matthew 6:9-10
- Prayers is a vital force for experiencing heaven on earth – James 4:2
What time are we today in the body of Christ?
We are clearly in the end-times:
- The last days began in the upper room – Acts 2:16-17
- Today we are in the latter days, which we call the end-times – Joel 2:21-23, 27, Zachariah 10:1
But it’s a mixed season:
- A season of gloom and glory – Isaiah 60:1-3
- A season of travail and triumph – Matthew 24:10-14
- A season of setbacks and breakthroughs – Malachi 4:1-4
- A season of casting down and lifting up – Job 22:29
The End-Time is the Era of the “Powers of the World to Come”

- We are now in the latter days – Acts 2:16-17, Zechariah 10:1

- Where God’s people shall begin to operate with the powers of the world to come – Isaiah 11:1-9, Revelations 5:6, Hebrews 6:5
But we cannot wish our way to power:
- We must “Thirst” our way to new levels of empowerment – Isaiah 41:17-21, Isaiah 44:3-4
- We must “Purge” our way to new levels of empowerment – Luke 4:1-14, Luke 9:28-35, 43
- We must fast and pray our way to next levels of empowerment this year – Ezekiel 47:1-10, Isaiah 58:6-12
- We must pray down the powers of the world to come – Hebrews 6:5, Zechariah 10:1
- We must pray the heavens open on our lives – Matthew 6:9-10, Isaiah 64:1-3

Remember,

See you manifesting in the realms of heaven on earth in 2015.
Jesus is Lord!
