Our everyday lives are surrounded by pain. Whether we sit, stand, or sleep, every physical activity eventually causes us pain. Even if we do nothing and lay in bed, our muscles will stiffen–causing pain. To keep our muscles, limber and strong, we need to work out—more pain!
Are you tired of headaches, backaches, stomachaches and muscle aches? Just being tired is a form of pain! Have hope my friend, Jesus promised, to those who love Him, a glorified body that cannot experience any type of pain–physical or emotional.
A glorified body is not designed with needs like our current body. A glorified body cannot suffer, because it is not dependent on anything except Jesus. A glorified body does not need food, water, rest, air, blood or gravity; if it did, it could suffer with the absence or loss of those things. We know there is food and water in Eternity, but our bodies will not depend on them–we will eat and drink for pleasure, not out of necessity.
Some people might suppose that GOD will just instantly meet all of our physical needs in Heaven because it’s the simpler miracle or seems more logical. GOD using His power to continually intervene and meet our needs or GOD using His power to create a body that has no needs, requires GOD to use His power either way. One miracle is not easier than the other. The Bible says plainly;” there is no more pain…” The Bible doesn’t say there is pain and then GOD intervenes immediately to heal it. In eternity, pain and needs do not exist.
…There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3-4 NIV).
I try to extract as much detail as I can from scripture because I constantly meet people who don’t like to accept the supernatural. They say things like “GOD will change our minds so that we won’t want fun, food, or pleasure.” I answer that mindset with; Why would GOD use His power to reboot our minds, when He could use the same power to just fulfill our desires?
The next time you feel pain, lift your eyes to Heaven. Soon and very soon you will have a body like Jesus Christ.
Never again will you have to stop any activity due to pain. No more medicating pain with drugs. No more car accidents, work place accidents, birth defects, or cancer. No more being in shape our out of shape. No more health insurance of life insurance. Praise GOD our glorified bodies will be beyond the reach of harm and decay.
Reflection
Perhaps pain, or the frustration of mankind’s corruption has tainted your dreams and passion for the future. Let me encourage you to read your Bible with an attitude of wonder about things to come–this helps you to know more of GOD’s goodness. His goodness draws us to seek and know Him more—wonder is one of the results. Wonder of GOD, and the wonder of what awaits you in eternity is a precious thing—hold onto it firmly. When you study and reflect about Heaven/Eternity, seek the supernatural truths and allow your wonder to grow!
Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.” Isaiah 29:14
