The Book of Revelation, Part 34 - Rick Joyner
As we mature in the Lord, we begin to distinguish the earthly blessings from the spiritual and eternal ones. As this happens, we begin to seek the spiritual and eternal blessings more and seek to abide in the spirit realm more. We eventually become more at home in the spiritual than we are in the natural. Ideally, if we have kept the Lord our first love and the pursuit of Him our top priority, it should be a “natural” next step when we make the transition to eternal life. Like the apostle Paul, we will then desire this so much it will be hard to want to stay longer in the earthly realm. We will long for the transition and want to go “home.”
