For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright.

Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light but one eye into eye\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-17 04:42:30','2014-02-17 04:42:30','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2240,1,'2014-02-17 06:08:36','2014-02-17 06:08:36','<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"200\"></td>\r\n<td><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></td>\r\n<td></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light but one eye into eye\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-17 06:08:36','2014-02-17 06:08:36','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2241,1,'2014-02-17 06:09:06','2014-02-17 06:09:06','<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\"></td>\r\n<td><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></td>\r\n<td></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue.

Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright.

Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen.

By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me.

Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen.

Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light but one eye into eye\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-17 06:11:04','2014-02-17 06:11:04','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2243,1,'2014-02-17 06:11:26','2014-02-17 06:11:26','<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\"></td>\r\n<td><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></td>\r\n<td></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n<table bgcolor=\"fbfbd4\" cellpadding=\"20\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service. So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light but one eye into eye\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-17 06:11:26','2014-02-17 06:11:26','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2244,1,'2014-02-17 06:12:40','2014-02-17 06:12:40','<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"150\"></td>\r\n<td><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></td>\r\n<td></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table cellpadding=\"20\" bgcolor=\"fbfbd4\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">ETERNAL REWARD</h2>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light but one eye into eye\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-17 06:12:40','2014-02-17 06:12:40','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2246,1,'2014-02-17 08:44:19','2014-02-17 08:44:19','<table cellpadding=\"20\" bgcolor=\"fbfbd4\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<center><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></center>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">ETERNAL REWARD</h2>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service.

Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life.

John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen.

I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen.

So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue.

Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-17 14:21:36','2014-02-17 14:21:36','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2249,1,'2014-02-18 07:55:16','2014-02-18 07:55:16','<table cellpadding=\"50\" bgcolor=\"fbfbd4\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><center><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></center>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">ETERNAL REWARD</h2>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service. So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen. So, as we read this, every part is good. But, you won\'t to stay in, stay aware on what is going on because you don\'t wanna stay on one place and this is what coming up next, Amen. So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright. Now, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-18 11:05:30','2014-02-18 11:05:30','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2251,1,'2014-02-18 13:44:13','2014-02-18 13:44:13','<table cellpadding=\"50\" bgcolor=\"fbfbd4\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><center><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></center>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">ETERNAL REWARD</h2>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service.

John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Amen. Eternal reward. Amen.

Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen.

Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-18 13:44:13','2014-02-18 13:44:13','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2252,1,'2014-02-19 14:23:35','2014-02-19 14:23:35','<table cellpadding=\"50\" bgcolor=\"fbfbd4\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><center><object width=\"650\" height=\"400\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"650\" height=\"400\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/v/duz3J1PG0YM?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object></center>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">ETERNAL REWARD</h2>\r\nFor those who may be here for the first time, or the internet audience, if you listen at this live stream or video recording, the Lord always gives me the words before the service.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That\'s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen. And they are all proud of you, they are encouraging you, they\'re happy to see you doing this things with Jesus and they are ready for you to come and be with them, Amen. But they also know that you got to finish your work why you\'re here, Amen. Praise God. Alright, now, we talk about Abraham, God made his name great.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about Sarah, let\'s go to Genesis chapter  17 verse 15, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16</span> </sup>And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. \"</span> Amen. So, she was a mother of nations on Earth, Amen. A mother of kings, Amen. Guess what, in Heaven, she\'s a mother of nations and she\'s a mother of kings, Amen. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. And you know this people in Heaven right now, that the king found through that linage Amen. And through that linage the most I mean wow Jesus came through that linage, Amen. If I remember it correctly,  David came through his linage, all this wonderful people who have great names, kings came through their linage, and they are kings and priest right now in Heaven, that came through her, Amen. Of course by Jesus, Amen.  Glory to God. Alright. So, she is blessed in Heaven, everybody knows who Sarah is in Heaven. Everybody knows who Sarah is, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Eternal reward. Amen. Alright.\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen.

You gotta have all in laws and they know darkness  is wonderful like, this is awesome, Amen. The river of life, the tree, it\'s just going amazing, Amen. Eternal reward.

So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That\'s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen. And they are all proud of you, they are encouraging you, they\'re happy to see you doing this things with Jesus and they are ready for you to come and be with them, Amen. But they also know that you got to finish your work why you\'re here, Amen. Praise God. Alright, now, we talk about Abraham, God made his name great.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about Sarah, let\'s go to Genesis chapter  17 verse 15, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16</span> </sup>And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. \"</span> Amen. So, she was a mother of nations on Earth, Amen. A mother of kings, Amen. Guess what, in Heaven, she\'s a mother of nations and she\'s a mother of kings, Amen. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. And you know this people in Heaven right now, that the king found through that linage Amen. And through that linage the most I mean wow Jesus came through that linage, Amen. If I remember it correctly,  David came through his linage, all this wonderful people who have great names, kings came through their linage, and they are kings and priest right now in Heaven, that came through her, Amen. Of course by Jesus, Amen.  Glory to God. Alright. So, she is blessed in Heaven, everybody knows who Sarah is in Heaven. Everybody knows who Sarah is, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Eternal reward. Amen. Alright.\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Remember, eternal reward, this was your life is gonna be like, Amen.  You gotta serve Jesus, isn\'t this awesome? Praise God, Amen. You gotta have all in laws and they know darkness  is wonderful like, this is awesome, Amen. The river of life, the tree, it\'s just going amazing, Amen. Eternal reward. Alright, now, let\'s continue, verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">8</span> </sup>And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9</span> </sup>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.\"</span> So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he\'s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven. Amen. if God has called you to be an evangelist on Earth, you will be an evangelist in Heaven.  And you say, why do I need to be an evangelist on Heaven? Don\'t get me wrong, God is going to use you, Amen. Use your gonna work to do, Amen. So, if God has called you to do on Earth, you still have that calling in Heaven. Amen. And with a great calling it will be, Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward, Amen. Amen, So, let\'s turn to Ephesians, Amen.

So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen. So, as we read this, every part is good. But, you won\'t to stay in, stay aware on what is going on because you don\'t wanna stay on one place and this is what coming up next, Amen. So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That\'s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen. And they are all proud of you, they are encouraging you, they\'re happy to see you doing this things with Jesus and they are ready for you to come and be with them, Amen. But they also know that you got to finish your work why you\'re here, Amen. Praise God. Alright, now, we talk about Abraham, God made his name great.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about Sarah, let\'s go to Genesis chapter  17 verse 15, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16</span> </sup>And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. \"</span> Amen. So, she was a mother of nations on Earth, Amen. A mother of kings, Amen. Guess what, in Heaven, she\'s a mother of nations and she\'s a mother of kings, Amen. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. And you know this people in Heaven right now, that the king found through that linage Amen. And through that linage the most I mean wow Jesus came through that linage, Amen. If I remember it correctly,  David came through his linage, all this wonderful people who have great names, kings came through their linage, and they are kings and priest right now in Heaven, that came through her, Amen. Of course by Jesus, Amen.  Glory to God. Alright. So, she is blessed in Heaven, everybody knows who Sarah is in Heaven. Everybody knows who Sarah is, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Eternal reward. Amen. Alright.\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Remember, eternal reward, this was your life is gonna be like, Amen.  You gotta serve Jesus, isn\'t this awesome? Praise God, Amen. You gotta have all in laws and they know darkness  is wonderful like, this is awesome, Amen. The river of life, the tree, it\'s just going amazing, Amen. Eternal reward. Alright, now, let\'s continue, verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">8</span> </sup>And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9</span> </sup>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.\"</span> So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he\'s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven. Amen. if God has called you to be an evangelist on Earth, you will be an evangelist in Heaven.  And you say, why do I need to be an evangelist on Heaven? Don\'t get me wrong, God is going to use you, Amen. Use your gonna work to do, Amen. So, if God has called you to do on Earth, you still have that calling in Heaven. Amen.

So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That\'s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen. And they are all proud of you, they are encouraging you, they\'re happy to see you doing this things with Jesus and they are ready for you to come and be with them, Amen. But they also know that you got to finish your work why you\'re here, Amen. Praise God. Alright, now, we talk about Abraham, God made his name great.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about Sarah, let\'s go to Genesis chapter  17 verse 15, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16</span> </sup>And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. \"</span> Amen.

Praise God. And you know this people in Heaven right now, that the king found through that linage Amen. And through that linage the most I mean wow Jesus came through that linage, Amen. If I remember it correctly,  David came through his linage, all this wonderful people who have great names, kings came through their linage, and they are kings and priest right now in Heaven, that came through her, Amen. Of course by Jesus, Amen.  Glory to God. Alright. So, she is blessed in Heaven, everybody knows who Sarah is in Heaven. Everybody knows who Sarah is, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Eternal reward. Amen. Alright.\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen.

You gotta have all in laws and they know darkness  is wonderful like, this is awesome, Amen. The river of life, the tree, it\'s just going amazing, Amen. Eternal reward. Alright, now, let\'s continue, verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">8</span> </sup>And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9</span> </sup>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.\"</span> So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he\'s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven. Amen. if God has called you to be an evangelist on Earth, you will be an evangelist in Heaven.  And you say, why do I need to be an evangelist on Heaven? Don\'t get me wrong, God is going to use you, Amen. Use your gonna work to do, Amen. So, if God has called you to do on Earth, you still have that calling in Heaven. Amen.

Praise God. And verse 7, that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us, what age he is talking about? He\'s talking about eternity, Amen. So, as we on eternity with Christ,  we are gonna be people of his grace because we are all sinners, remember every we do is right, but Jesus came and die for us and because He came and die for us we receive Him as our Lord and Savior but we didn\'t deserve it but once it wow we are representatives of the grace of God, Amen. In heaven, so, when people see us when an angel see us, they say wow we are evidence of His grace and His mercy and His kindness because we didn\'t deserve to be here but we are right here in Heaven and have this eternal reward because of who, not because of ourselves but because of Jesus Christ, Amen.

So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen. So, as we read this, every part is good. But, you won\'t to stay in, stay aware on what is going on because you don\'t wanna stay on one place and this is what coming up next, Amen. So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That\'s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen. And they are all proud of you, they are encouraging you, they\'re happy to see you doing this things with Jesus and they are ready for you to come and be with them, Amen. But they also know that you got to finish your work why you\'re here, Amen. Praise God. Alright, now, we talk about Abraham, God made his name great.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about Sarah, let\'s go to Genesis chapter  17 verse 15, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16</span> </sup>And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. \"</span> Amen. So, she was a mother of nations on Earth, Amen. A mother of kings, Amen. Guess what, in Heaven, she\'s a mother of nations and she\'s a mother of kings, Amen. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. And you know this people in Heaven right now, that the king found through that linage Amen. And through that linage the most I mean wow Jesus came through that linage, Amen. If I remember it correctly,  David came through his linage, all this wonderful people who have great names, kings came through their linage, and they are kings and priest right now in Heaven, that came through her, Amen.

Amen. Alright.\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Remember, eternal reward, this was your life is gonna be like, Amen.  You gotta serve Jesus, isn\'t this awesome? Praise God, Amen. You gotta have all in laws and they know darkness  is wonderful like, this is awesome, Amen. The river of life, the tree, it\'s just going amazing, Amen. Eternal reward. Alright, now, let\'s continue, verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">8</span> </sup>And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9</span> </sup>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.\"</span> So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he\'s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven. Amen. if God has called you to be an evangelist on Earth, you will be an evangelist in Heaven.  And you say, why do I need to be an evangelist on Heaven? Don\'t get me wrong, God is going to use you, Amen. Use your gonna work to do, Amen. So, if God has called you to do on Earth, you still have that calling in Heaven. Amen. And with a great calling it will be, Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward, Amen. Amen, So, let\'s turn to Ephesians, Amen. So, who knows some examples, let\'s talk about you and me, of course we talk about your little bit because whatever calling you in, you gonna retain that calling in Heaven, Amen. And you will be  known for God that has called you to do, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nTalking about you and me, Ephesians chapter 2 starting at verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;), <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6</span> </sup>And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. That\'s a song. Amen. So, guess what? Even though you sit you right here sitting this sits, guess what, you also sits in Heaven just right now, see some of the things of God is just hard to explain in words, but right now you are sitted in heavenly places even though you are right here in Raleigh North Carolina, and those internet audience  wherever you are in the world, if you are Christian, you are also sitted in heavenly places right now, Amen. Praise God. And verse 7, that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us, what age he is talking about? He\'s talking about eternity, Amen. So, as we on eternity with Christ,  we are gonna be people of his grace because we are all sinners, remember every we do is right, but Jesus came and die for us and because He came and die for us we receive Him as our Lord and Savior but we didn\'t deserve it but once it wow we are representatives of the grace of God, Amen. In heaven, so, when people see us when an angel see us, they say wow we are evidence of His grace and His mercy and His kindness because we didn\'t deserve to be here but we are right here in Heaven and have this eternal reward because of who, not because of ourselves but because of Jesus Christ, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Glory to God. So, just ask we are witness on Earth, we also witness in Heaven of who God is and what He is done for us, Amen. Praise God. Eternal Reward. Praise God. Amen.

You\'re not just here strong and true no you\'re working out yourself cause you\'re doing eternally, Amen. For your sacrifice for Jesus, Amen. Glory to God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go back to Revelation. Revelation chapter 1 verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6</span> </sup>And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.\"</span> Amen, amen and amen. So, God has made you a king you know has made you a priest, Amen. Right now you\'re a king and you\'re a priest, Amen. Right now, Amen. Now you\'re kings and priests. But also, this is a eternal reward, Amen. So, you\'re king you know your kingsmanship or priesthoodt just starts right now is gonna continue in eternity, Amen. Amen. Praise God. Just like if he called to be prophet you know here on Earth, you\'re prophet in heaven. But if He made you a queen or king on earth, a priest on earth, you will gonna be one on heaven. It\'s eternal. The things He gives you are eternal. It\'s not like a someone who\'s gonna give and take away, I wanna give it to you now while you are on Earth and now I wanna take it away when you\'re on heaven. No. He gives it and it\'s yours forever. Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to Genesis, so going back and forth, let\'s go to Genesis chapter 15, wow and is now the things we talk about is about all great cause this is all wonderful, this is all good, Amen.

So, I just wait until He gives it, so, if you want a title, the title of this would be Eternal Reward. I have a lot of scriptures, and in this message and in every message and if you don\'t know this, you know, the whole message makes the whole part, you don\'t wanna just take one part and just focus on that, you want to take the whole and all comes together for the message, Amen.

So, this scriptures that you wanna keep so, this will be recorded if you don\'t write the scriptures this is a very very important message, Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, turn with me to John chapter 3, and the name of this is Eternal Reward, Amen. John chapter 3, starting at verse 14, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue. Verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.\"</span> Verse 3, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, part of your eternal reward is your life in Heaven, Amen. But those who have receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, let\'s talk about this life a little bit and of course we have a lot of scriptures that I could have many more scriptures but this are just some I can give you that give you an ideal of some of what that is prepared for you. Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen. Amen.  But guess what, the bless are also blessy and those gonna be curse will be cursed, so some people who came against you right now are not gonna be in Heaven and they\'re gonna be in hell. Amen. Because of messing with you because they didn\'t know who you are or walking with. Alright. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing. They know how you walk in the Lord, they know what comes against you, and how you have stood. That\'s the time  as stood against the enemy and continue to do the things for God, Amen. And they are all proud of you, they are encouraging you, they\'re happy to see you doing this things with Jesus and they are ready for you to come and be with them, Amen. But they also know that you got to finish your work why you\'re here, Amen. Praise God. Alright, now, we talk about Abraham, God made his name great.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about Sarah, let\'s go to Genesis chapter  17 verse 15, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">16</span> </sup>And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. \"</span> Amen.

Of course by Jesus, Amen.  Glory to God. Alright. So, she is blessed in Heaven, everybody knows who Sarah is in Heaven. Everybody knows who Sarah is, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Eternal reward. Amen. Alright.\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Revelation chapter 22, and this is all sermons or teach that you want to keep and refer back to, Amen. Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen.

You gotta have all in laws and they know darkness  is wonderful like, this is awesome, Amen. The river of life, the tree, it\'s just going amazing, Amen. Eternal reward. Alright, now, let\'s continue, verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">8</span> </sup>And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9</span> </sup>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.\"</span> So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he\'s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven. Amen. if God has called you to be an evangelist on Earth, you will be an evangelist in Heaven.  And you say, why do I need to be an evangelist on Heaven? Don\'t get me wrong, God is going to use you, Amen. Use your gonna work to do, Amen. So, if God has called you to do on Earth, you still have that calling in Heaven. Amen. And with a great calling it will be, Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward, Amen. Amen, So, let\'s turn to Ephesians, Amen. So, who knows some examples, let\'s talk about you and me, of course we talk about your little bit because whatever calling you in, you gonna retain that calling in Heaven, Amen. And you will be  known for God that has called you to do, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nTalking about you and me, Ephesians chapter 2 starting at verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;), <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6</span> </sup>And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7</span> </sup>That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. That\'s a song. Amen. So, guess what? Even though you sit you right here sitting this sits, guess what, you also sits in Heaven just right now, see some of the things of God is just hard to explain in words, but right now you are sitted in heavenly places even though you are right here in Raleigh North Carolina, and those internet audience  wherever you are in the world, if you are Christian, you are also sitted in heavenly places right now, Amen. Praise God. And verse 7, that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us, what age he is talking about? He\'s talking about eternity, Amen. So, as we on eternity with Christ,  we are gonna be people of his grace because we are all sinners, remember every we do is right, but Jesus came and die for us and because He came and die for us we receive Him as our Lord and Savior but we didn\'t deserve it but once it wow we are representatives of the grace of God, Amen. In heaven, so, when people see us when an angel see us, they say wow we are evidence of His grace and His mercy and His kindness because we didn\'t deserve to be here but we are right here in Heaven and have this eternal reward because of who, not because of ourselves but because of Jesus Christ, Amen.

It\'s eternal. The things He gives you are eternal. It\'s not like a someone who\'s gonna give and take away, I wanna give it to you now while you are on Earth and now I wanna take it away when you\'re on heaven. No. He gives it and it\'s yours forever. Amen. Praise God. Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to Genesis, so going back and forth, let\'s go to Genesis chapter 15, wow and is now the things we talk about is about all great cause this is all wonderful, this is all good, Amen. Is all worth it? Or we save the best thing for last, Amen. Genesis chapter 15 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.\"</span> Amen.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"</span> Verse 17, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\"</span> Amen.\r\n\r\nWe are talking about eternal reward. Amen. Eternal reward. Amen. Let\'s go to Romans 10:9, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\"</span> Amen. So, we as Christians understands that we must receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, Amen. Because, whatever the raptured comes first or we die we know that we are going to have eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s continue, let\'s go to Daniel 12, and again we have a lot of verses, starting at verse 1. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.\"</span> And we are talking about the book of Life. Amen. It talks about in Revelation the Book of Life. Okay, let\'s continue.

Amen.\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s go to John chapter 14, eternal reward. John chapter 14 starting at verse 2, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"In my Father\'s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.\"</span> Of course Jesus is talking. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.\"</span> Amen. Your life in heaven, eternal reward. Turn with me to 1st Corinthians chapter 15 starting at verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\" There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:\"</span> Verse 43, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:\"</span> Verse 44, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.\"</span> So another words, when we die, when we have this thing body, that we have right now. We\'re gonna have a body in, we will also have a body,Amen. Alright, let\'s continue, let\'s jump down on verse 51, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,</span> (Amen, do you know when you\'re in Heaven, you\'re not gonna sleep? You\'ll be wake all the time, you\'ll never get tired, you\'ll never get worry, you always have strength, you\'ll be glad, you don\'t wanna go to sleep, cause you are just happy, Amen. Alright.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.\"</span> Amen. Eternal Reward. Amen. Verse 53, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.\"</span> Amen. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,</span> ( another words in immortality, you live in whatever and ever and ever, no more debt, Amen, Amen)<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\"</span> Amen. So, no more debt, we have the victory, no more debt, Amen. Your life in Heaven, eternal reward. Amen.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Revelations chapter 21, let\'s continue to talk about this life, and this is just a lotto of eternal reward. Amen. Alright. Chapter 21 starting verse 4, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.\"</span> Isn\'t it glorious? Amen. Glory to God, Amen. Who wants to go there now? Praise God. We\'ll you know, we gotta work to do before we get there. Amen. So, hey, alright. Praise God. Alright. Verse 5, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.</span> (another words all things new that includes us, right? new! Amen! Amen!) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.\"</span> Verse 6, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.\"</span> Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Verse 7, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"He that overcometh shall inherit all things;</span> (Amen, and that is us! Amen. All things! and all this things are good things, Amen.) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.\"</span> Amen! Amen! Now, we talk about this life in Heaven, we talk about eternal reward, Amen, for our gospel our message has to be complete, Amen, so if you have not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we also receive another reward, Amen.\r\n\r\nLet\'s talk about what you will receive if you do not receive this life or if you do not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let\'s go to Mark chapter 9, those who refuse the gospel, those who refuse to receive Jesus as their Lord. Mark chapter 9 verse 42, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life,</span> ( we are talking about life eternal life and this will talk about if you don\'t have an eternal life is eternal death, Amen, let\'s continue) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.</span> (And this is their life eternal or the death eternal, can you imagine how horrible that could be for eternity forever and ever, and again, verse 46), <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:\"</span>\r\n\r\nLet\'s go to Matthew chapter 13, we\'re talking about death in hell. So, we are talking about life in Heaven, but now we are talking about death in hell. If you have not receive or if you will not receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we\'re talking about eternal reward, Amen. So, everyone\'s gonna have reward, eternal reward, Amen. Alright, eternal reward. Life or eternal death. Alright, Matthew chapter 13, starting at verse 41, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"</span> That is something that you don\'t want to experience not for a moment for eternity, let\'s go back to Revelation. Chapter 21 verse 8, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.\"</span> Amen. Listen, as vanish hell is gonna be something evil, worst, because after the judgement, everyone is gonna be thrown that is not written in the Book of Life,  is gonna be thrown into this lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity. Okay, let\'s go back to Matthew chapter 25, eternal reward. Matthew chapter 25 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:\"</span> So, another words just hailed and this and also the lake of fire was prepare for the devil and his angels, but if you don\'t receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior there\'s no other place for you, there\'s only one two places, either Heaven or the other places has been prepared for the devil and his angels, which you don\'t wanna go there. Eternal reward. Now, we talked about your life, eternal and hell, but those who receive Jesus as their Lord and who did not, but let\'s talk about who you are right now, Amen.\r\n\r\nAgain, let\'s stay on Matthew, let\'s go to chapter 6, where are you now? What\'s happening now? Matthew chapter 6 verse 18, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>18</sup>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. <sup>19</sup>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: <sup>20</sup>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:\"</span> Amen. So, another words, do you know right now, even though you on Earth that we use to it up the richest in Heaven, Amen. So, right now, you are affecting your eternal reward, Amen. By your actions here on Heaven, Amen. Now we are going to this deep okay, cause we know we are doing right now cause we\'re affecting our eternal reward, Amen.  Now,  let\'s go to Mark chapter 10 verse 21, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>21</sup>Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.\"</span> We are all know the story, now let\'s go to Luke chapter 12 verse 33, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>33</sup>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.\"</span> Alright, okay! So, shall we go and sell everything we have and give it all to the poor so that we can have treasures in Heaven? Alright, that\'s a question. Now, let\'s continue, Jesus explain things by parables, Amen. And He said this to a man, a rich man came to Him, and he said, what do I need to receive eternal life? And Jesus said to him, you know the scriptures and after he said I have done this things, he said one thing you need  more, He said, sell what you have, and follow me. And you will have treasures in Heaven, Amen. But this man already have treasures, okay. Alright, so that\'s we told just rich rule this young man. Alright, and the question was if we all goes to everything we have and follow Jesus. Now, this is a parable that explains the heart of the Lord. Amen. And let\'s go to Matthew chapter 13 verse 44, okay <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>44</sup>Again,</span> (and again this is a parable) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\"</span> Amen. So, this is a similar what Jesus has said to the rich rule but this was truly has been said, Amen. He said that you cannot trust anything  but Jesus. Amen. So, another words,  whatever you are trusting and you gotta get rid of it. Amen. At least in your heart, you know if you have wealth then it\'s great, but you can\'t let your wealth be your trust, Amen. You know, you may have a man, you may have friends in high places, but you can\'t let your friends in high places with your trust, you maybe handsome, you maybe beautiful, you may have fame,  we\'ll you can\'t let your fame be your trust, Amen. Amen. Jesus is the only thing that you can hang on to, He is your trust and that is it, Amen. And if you saw weak that you can handle your riches, or your fame or whatever, you should sell or cast it out, remember what He said, it\'s better to walk and go into light with one eye if your eye are friendly, if you have one eye pluck it out, it\'s better to walk into light you know with one eye, you know then it go into hell with 2 eyes but guess what, when you walk into light it just give you another eye, Amen. Alright. So, another words, God not said to pluck your eye out literally, He said to get rid off of what you\'re trusting in. If you can\'t handle it, Amen.  You gotta get rid off it. That\'s the best thing, but God will give you the strength to handle it but you just have to understand, nothing can come between you and God, He has be the most important thing in your life, there can be no other, whatever it is, Amen. Okay, so, this explains things to you, Amen. Cause we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. And what you are right now. Because you have the ability and God will lead you where you can saw up treasures, riches in Heaven, eternal reward.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to Luke chapter 18, and this is what really all about, Amen. This is what all about, this is what we\'re doing. Alright, Luke chapter 18 verse 29, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>29</sup>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(of course Jesus is talking)</span> There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God\'s sake\"</span> Amen, so this people make a sacrifice for the Lord you know, for the Lord, Amen, not for fame, not for wealth, not for this, they did things, they sacrifice for the Lord,  for God\'s sake, Amen. Alright, now, verse 30, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>30</sup>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.\"</span> Amen, so, in another words, because they have sacrifice this things and they can change and talk about you will receive in this time lands and houses, and all this things, brothers and sisters, in this time and the life eternal life. Okay. Amen. With persecution, alright,  and lead that thankly that i\'m  with persecution, in another words, still, because your sacrifice with the Lord is gonna reward you now, Amen. But it\'s a reward that just not stay here on Earth but also continues in Heaven, Amen. Alright, now, let\'s go back to Matthew, Eternal Reward. So, we talk about your future life in Heaven, we are talking about your present time how you\'re affecting your life in Heaven, Amen. Your reward in Heaven, Amen. Okay. Now, Matthew chapter 10 verse 40, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"<sup>40</sup>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me</span> (of course Jesus is talking) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">receiveth him that sent me.\"</span> (which is just the Father, the Father is Jesus), verses 41,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> \"<sup>41</sup> He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet\'s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man\'s reward. <sup>42</sup> And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.\"</span> Amen. So, you gonna be rewarded if you blessed a prophet, or blessed a righteous man. Or even give a water to a  small one, Amen. And so, when you get to Heaven, those rewards are gonna be available for you, instead, Lord why do I have this golden cup? This cup is so beautiful, it\'s elegant, it\'s amazing, and He\'ll say, well son or daughter, we\'ll remember when you gave that cup of water to that little boy in my Name, this represents that the cup you gave me, you\'ll have all this things in your mansion, all this rewards, you know, all the things you did here on Earth in His Name, Amen. Because, in no while when you lose your reward anything that you for the Lord, Amen. And we\'re talking about eternal reward. Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nAlright, now, let\'s go to John chapter 8. John chapter 8, thank you Jesus, Praise God,  would you read verse 31, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;\"</span> Amen. So,  if you continue in His word, you are His disciples, Amen . So guess what, will you continue His words again in what you said twice or you said three times, you are His disciples, Amen. Guess what. Where you in Heaven are you still His disciples? Yes, you are! That\'s an eternal reward. And to be Jesus disciples, there is a great reward! Amen. And no while will you lose your reward, Amen. Praise God.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go to some examples. Let\'s go to Genesis, Eternal reward. Genesis chapter 12 , I wanna talk about plant, starting at verse one, Genesis chapter 12 verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\'s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>2</sup></span> And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><sup>3</sup></span> And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\"</span> Amen. So, let\'s look at the blessings that God have gave them through rewards, and He may said that I will make thee a great nation so He made Abraham, Abram now, but He changed name to Abraham, He made Abraham a great nation, Amen. Guess what? Abraham is in Heaven right now, and still, he has a great nation, Amen. In heaven, Amen. And He say, I will bless thee and make thy name great, his name was great on Earth, but guess what, in Heaven, his name is also great. Amen. Amen. Name of all names. Amen. Jesus name is above all names. But who name is talking about, talking about Abraham, talking about Jacob, cause they are all in Heaven, but He\'s above all their names, Amen.  Alright. Praise God. See, He has made their names great, He will make your name great on Earth and in Heaven, but who has the greatest name? It\'s right, so His name is the greatest, but your name still great. Amen. Praise God. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow, and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, Amen. So, now he is a blessing on Earth, but guess who\'s on Heaven? And he still a blessing, Amen. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee, so does the people in Heaven right now because of Abraham, because they follow Abraham and Abraham was following Jesus. Amen, So, they are blessed and they are in Heaven right now. Because of the relationship was Abraham and because Abraham relationship with the Father with Jesus, Amen. Just like with you, your witness with the people because you walk with the Lord, thus people on Heaven are gonna be there because of you, Amen.

Eternal reward.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s gonna be great when walk around, you have people come to say, I just thank God for you. Because I know that I was all this things coming against me but because you gave me God\'s Word, God use you, now I\'m right here in  Heaven with Jesus, because of you, you have all this all you know I was going through so much but you know Lord use you to heal me and then I was able to walk in my comb because of you, because your curse,  you don\'t have all this people around you that you have affected and because of God has use you, they have a better life in Heaven. Amen. They have a better reward, because you, because Jesus used you, Amen. Of course we know we can do anything without Jesus but remember this, in Isaiah 66:2, this is the one that he will look to, a person of a poor and a contrite spirit, one that trembleth at His word, Amen. Those are the people that He will use, Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Alright, Okay, now we talk about Abraham, because God blessed him on Earth but while he is even more blessed in Heaven and his reward is eternal, Amen. Anybody have knows Abraham is, everybody knows who Abraham is because God made his name great, Amen. And for the person who just got saved, you know, a man have not done that much now as far as having go of course you know that understand into this knowledge and you knows this information so you may know who they are but it\'s not like their name, it\'s great because they didn\'t do anything on Earth that God will make their name great. But everybody knows who Abraham is, everybody in Heaven knows who David is, Amen, everybody in Heaven who knows Moses is, everybody in Heaven knows Elisha is, everybody in Heaven knows the 12 disciples, Amen. Because their name is great, Amen. And their reward is eternal, Amen. But guess what, remember God has not given all the good stuff to the people in the Bible, He says the good stuff for us, Amen. He\'s making our name great too. Amen., Do you know that the people in Heaven know who you are right now? They know who you are. The cloud of witnesses know who you are, they see what you\'re doing.

Revelation chapter 22 starting at verse 1, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2</span> </sup>In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3</span> </sup>And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4</span> </sup>And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5</span> </sup>And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.\"</span> Amen.

And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">9</span> </sup>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.\"</span> So this is like a Revelation, Amen. Because it calls an angel against what? it says right here, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, so this person actually was one of the prophecy live on the Earth, Amen. But now he\'s in Heaven. So he was a prophet on Earth but guess what, he is still a prophet in Heaven, Amen. So, if God made you a teacher on Earth, you are gonna be a teacher in Heaven.

So, what are we thinking, what are we plan about we have to be rejoicing I am rejoicing when I go to church, they talking about me, I don\'t care, I\'m with Jesus, I am my reward, talk more about me, it doesn\'t matter, I\'m with Jesus, He is my friend, He is my Father, He is my God, I don\'t care what they do to me. I don\'t care what they say to me. I don\'t care what I have to go through with Jesus because it\'s for Him. Amen. Praise God. Glory to God. Anyway, like I tell you, I was happy of you. Alright.\r\n\r\nNow let\'s go back to John 17:3,  And Jesus is talking, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.\"</span> Amen. Now, this goes a little bit more \'bout what we are talking about. It\'s an intimate and personal relationship, now, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, so, alot the word no and thee greek and the greek word is Genosco and it means to allow to be aware of, feel, know, presee, be result, speak, be sure of, understand. To know by experience rather than by intuitively. Amen.  Now, what does rather intuitively mean? By guessing, you know, all I guess is I know who you are or hear who you are, or somebody told me who you was, no, He wants you to know Him in person, Amen. Intimately. By experience, that\'s the kind of knowing that you will have our Lord and our Father eternally. Amen. Eternally. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. So, you have this eternal fellowship, it\'s personal, intimate, relationship with our God, our Father, our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit, He is giving himself to us personally. Eternal reward. Which is the grace reward. Amen. Praise God. And that\'s the message for the day. Glory to God.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>','Eternal Reward','','inherit','open','open','','2217-revision-v1','','','2014-02-20 15:50:18','2014-02-20 15:50:18','',2217,'http://raylsmith.org/2217-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
