Heaven What Is It Like? Stories and Testimonies.

There are mansions throughout heaven. According to Roy Reinhold, "these beautiful buildings are open to all, meaning that there are no front doors, so that anyone can come and visit." There is no crime, whatever belongs to you can't be taken. Jesse Duplantis, one who visited heaven, went to his own mansion. It was everything he would've wanted here on earth, just even better and more fabulous. There are streets of gold as clear as crystal and walls made out of precious stones (Revelation 21:18-21)

Roy says there are tributaries of the river of the waters of life. Alongside this river grows the trees of life. Jesse says the colors are unlike earth's colors. He said the flowers turn as you walk by and when you walk on them they aren't damaged. Kat Kerr also said the flowers turn and that their colors change. She also said there are more than 3 dimensions and that you can see music and the colors of it in ribbons. John Paul Jackson has said that music is so much more than we hear here... something like it has colors to it. Many have said all of heaven is spotless and flowing with the presence of God. All your clothing has been washed by the blood of Jesus, therefore they are forever clean.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. (I Corinthians 2:9)

There will be no heat. "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; (Revelation 7:16)

Rich Deem from godandscience.org says "Gravity will be absent or reduced. Revelation describes the New Jerusalem as a cube 1,500 miles on each side. Under the current laws of gravity, any structure that size would immediately become a sphere. Therefore gravity would be either absent or greatly reduced."

"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband... And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal." (Revelation 21:2, 16)

Names will be checked to see if they are in the book of life. Anyone whose name is not found in the "book of life" will be thrown into the lake of fire, He doesn't grade on a curve, so all people who have been guilty of any one of the violations will be sent to the lake of fire, which is the second death. "Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15)

How can we enter into heaven? How do I get into the presence of a Holy God? God has already done for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Jesus said "...unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." He explains that the second birth is to be born spiritually. Those born just once will die physically then will die spiritually at the second death (following the Great White Throne judgment). Those who are born twice (both physically and spiritually) will die physically, but will live spiritually forever.

How are people born again spiritually? Jesus said: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

When you accept Jesus as Lord (and Savior) you become clean (righteousness of God through Christ), by faith, before God. This forgiveness of sins, drawing closer to the Lord, will put us within His protection and under His wing of shelter. By accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, we give Him permission to change us into a new creation. We can become closer to Him and experience His presence. If you choose not to believe, you will be judged on the basis of that sin and will be separated from God forever (the second death). God can't allow sin into the new creation.

Roy Reinhold says people in heaven aren't the same age as when they died. Adults appear to be at the most robust age (we might say on earth that they are 25-30 years of age).

In heaven there is no sickness, no disease, no birth defects. Your body is like a super body, it's perfect. Children are there, all the ones who died young, in childbirth, or were aborted. Roy also states they have a heavenly body of the same age as when they died and that they are educated in the Word of God, heavenly music, loving care and they grow up in maturity. An example that Roy gives is: "a woman had a girl-child on earth die at the time she was born. If the woman lived a long life on earth, she would arrive in heaven greeted by the daughter who died at birth. Only, the daughter would be a young woman, grown up spiritually in heaven. The mother would still recognize her daughter who had died at birth on earth."

Mary K. Baxter and Jesse Duplantis both talk about babies and unborn babies that die will go to heaven. That alone is awesome!

My preacher recently stated He thinks the age of 30-33 because this was Jesus age. It's also the prime age of our lives.

Will a Non-Christian be in heaven? Some people forget about God's perfect mercy, justice and judgment of our heavenly father. There are some that aren't born again... "In heaven are all the aborted babies, children who died when young or at childbirth, and those who died before reaching the full age of comprehension. ... these categories of people are in heaven in the area around the holy city of Zion called paradise. They are not allowed into the holy city of Zion because they are unprepared, but they are in heaven." ~ Roy A. Reinhold

Quote from prophecytruths

God can give someone a vision of heaven or hell. God gave the Apostle Paul a vision in 2 Corinthians 12:1-6. Isaiah had an amazing experience as recorded in Isaiah. Yes, I believe that Piper, Wiese, Baxter, Duplantis and others have truly been to heaven/hell and come back. Ultimately, only God knows if these claims are true or the result of misperception, exaggeration, or worst, outright deception. Compare the visions and experiences with the Word of God by His Holy Spirit. I find "90 minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper to be biblical and very believable. Another great lens on this story is 90 Minutes in Heaven.

Jesus will be riding on a white horse when He returns to reign on the earth. Revelation 19:11

More importantly, we'll be able to recognize our loved ones in heaven, and we will experience great joy over being reunited with them (see Luke 23:42-43, Hebrews 12:22-23).
