Message:  The scriptures inform us that the (fallen) angels vacated their estates. Jesus stated that there are many mansions (already) in heaven (John 14:2). The saints of God will one day occupy these mansions, left there by the fallen angels!  Many people today are driven to obtain their “dream home.” They will work extra hours, give it all they have, make sacrifices and do whatever it takes to obtain it. Our ‘dream house’ should be the one in heaven. We should do whatever it takes to obtain it. Let’s do it “for heaven’s sake.”

 

Your direction is more important than your position. Often our current position is unfavorable. The direction we are headed is far more important than our current situation. You will end up where you are headed. If you are headed in the wrong direction, “Oh, for heaven’s sake” get turned around now!

 

At the presence of God, the earth shook, the heavens dropped and even Mt. Sinai moved at the presence of the Almighty. If God can move Mt. Sinai, I believe He can move the mountains you and I are facing today. Don’t allow your mountains to move you. Allow God to move your mountains! God move our mountains for heaven’s sake.

 

The heavens dropped! Don’t raise hell – bring down Heaven! Oh, for Heaven’s sake!

 

We have a decision to make right now. Let the decision of our soul always be, Hell No! Heaven Yes!

 

I am a Solder. Self-pity is located somewhere between hell and torture. I will march on for heaven’s sake.

 

Why do we go to church? Why do we give? Why do we choose right when others choose wrong? Why do we push forward even in adversity? Oh, for heaven’s sake!

 

In every life there is darkness, a shadow, a dark side that attempts to overwhelm us. Our society does not value a man’s heart or his needs. It sends a man out into the world without the emotional tools to handle feelings of rejection, fear, failure, and doubt. Without God, this shadow could conquer us. God is the Light that drives away the darkness. He drives away the shadow. Oh for heaven’s sake, you can make it!

 

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, we must become less religious and more spiritual.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, we must be driven by a desire to bless others.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, we must improve our prayer life.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, we must maintain our awe of God.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, we must feed our spirit the right diet.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, obedience must become a matter of reflex.

Oh, for Heaven’s sake, let’s prepare ourselves for heaven.
