I love the reality of Heaven but I have a burning desire to help people see heaven and eternal life as reality on this side of the veil. To sense the glory of it all. To have a taste of what it means to live in and have Him living in you.
In Japan among many there is not such hope, there is no such sense of the destiny each of us has. Their almost atheistic religion has robbed people of a future they can believe in.
- Two Women in a suicide pact in early 20s gas themselves to death.
- A 23 year old woman Jumps from a roof killing herself and injuring a bystander,
- 4 People including 2 young women under 20 kill themselves in a suicide pact
- 35 year old man with a mean boss kills himself
If you follow this kind of news, you will see that in Japan this is nearly a daily occurrence. In the USA we don't kill ourselves in hopelessness, we feed addictions to sports, drugs, Shopping, sex, alcohol, movies, even work. It's just as deadly and pain numbing but not nearly as terminal.
But it's all suicide. Terminal. Pain avoidance.
Somehow we in ministry don't understand what people really need. They need to KNOW they matter, they are essential, they have hope, they have a destiny. Much more than heaven. Right here, right now.
How do we quit barking like dogs at the moon and start chasing away the real marauders stalking the sheep.
