Escape to Heaven with Servant Marcia Carty

Let's open our Bibles to Ephesians chapter three.

Times are perilous: wars, earthquakes, tornadoes, fire, giants, fallen angels. Everything is happening as Jesus said it would, and it makes you want to escape to heaven, but are you ready to escape? Jesus said, "Pick up your cross and follow Me," and that's how we escape. Get ready, guys!

Escaping to heaven is kind of difficult when you are also running away from the Creator of Heaven. One might consider repenting before judgment and walking in the Holy Spirit so we can receive the blessings instead.

There is always confusion or lack of understanding about the "kingdom of God" versus the "kingdom of heaven". From the Bible, the kingdom of God is about your personal walk with the Lord and living a righteous lifestyle. Faith is the primary factor as we walk with the Lord that we please Him, and we can't judge each other's walk. The kingdom of heaven, on the other hand, is a location, maybe not p...

Our ears HEAR the Word of God but our hearts have to OBEY the Word of God.

The bible teaches about the kingdom of heaven and how the wise virgins were ready, went into the marriage, and were accepted by the bridegroom; whereas, the foolish virgins had no oil in their vessel, tried to go buy some, were not allowed into the wedding festival and were not known by the bridegroom. Jesus will reject believers who are not wise as well. Wisdom starts with knowledge, which is the...

Let's take a look at the life of Hezekiah today. We can learn a lot from his example.

Given the tumultuous nature of today's living literally experiencing Matthew 24 as Jesus described - rumors of wars, earthquakes, floods, famine, and pestilence, right now, the believer wants to escape to heaven, the physical place. However the believer has to understand that heaven the kingdom of God is within them and the world needs the light of Jesus to shine through them out into the darkness...

There is a way to be in this world and still be Christ-minded. Let's take a look at Jesus's parable of the prodigal son.

Jesus did good everywhere He went. Let's open our Bibles to the Gospel of Mark.

All believers believe that they are true believers, but what if we are really more like Queen Vashti, a rebellious, beautiful, royal Queen, and not like Queen Esther, royal, powerful, humble. She submitted to her king and understood and exerted spiritual weapons such as fasting and praying to save a dying world. The question is, can we become Queen Esther now in the end times?

Are we ready? Jesus is coming again, soon! And He is coming to get those who belong to Him before God's wrath is poured out on the world.

We can have new imaginations in the new year! What does imagination even mean? Let's dive in and see what God has for us in the new year!

Is it possible to be filled with joy in the midst of suffering, going through trials and tribulations, living through wars and rumors of wars, ethnic division, confusion, gender transformation, cloning, DNA splicing - can we still believe that the joy of the Lord is our strength?

It just seems that life is so crazy now, so much violence, confusion, conversion, sex is everywhere, billboards, children books, children posing with demonic images. How can we live through this and how can we believe that heaven is real and is still within us? That’s our question for today. Can we still escape to heaven and give heaven to the lost?

Many believers are content with having accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, going to church and sorta live an escapism lifestyle (Escape to Heaven), not understanding that living like Jesus means doing the same things that He did - saving the lost, healing the sick, casting out demons, praying, and fasting. Escaping to Heaven involves work and not living among the clouds in a state of euphoria...

While believers are here on Earth, we do want to escape to heaven. However, we have been anointed, appointed, and ordained to help the lost souls find their way to Jesus. There are some prerequisites and today we find out what they are.

No one wants to be in the wilderness. There's no water, no food, torment, confusion, no movement, and did I mention even fasting? But God has a plan and the wilderness has purpose. In the wilderness, believers, just like Israel and Jesus, are prepared to use the great anointing which has been deposited inside of them for the purpose of setting the captives free, healing the sick, raising the dead,...

When Jesus said "I have been anointed...," He also listed the various purposes and who would benefit from His anointing. He also stated that He chose the believer or the disciple and our purpose is the same as His. We were chosen to save the lost just like He did.

In the world we're living in it is obvious that there are signs that the Bible tells us that indicate the end of an age, the beginning of tribulation, and great tribulation. This makes one wonder if the rapture is real and can it be depended on to deliver a believer from the tribulation and to salvation or eternal existence with Jesus and the Creator in heaven. Today we're going to walk through th...

Most people think going to heaven means going to sleep, resting, playing, jumping up and down, singing worship, seeing friends and family, and oh, by the way, Jesus. But the Bible tends to portray an entirely different picture of what's happening in heaven. I saw war preparation, marriage preparation, building of mansions. Heaven appears to be a lot like here, so why aren't we being busy here on E...

Wanting to escape to Heaven is a well-founded concept, but it does entail some effort on our part (mankind or the image of God). We must understand why it was necessary for Jesus to introduce us to the kingdom of heaven and what are the benefits. WE must be born again and then enter into the kingdom, know that we are citizens and accept the anointing which comes with the promise fulfilled by the C...
