Dear reader, God’s word in the Bible encourages us to set our hearts on heavenly things. One day, I fixed my mind on the throne of God, and a shock of fire struck me!
What the Bible says.
To begin with, listen to what the written word of God in the Bible says:
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Colossians 3:1-2
How I focused my mind on the throne of God in heaven.
It was during a Sunday church service and I was somehow bored by what the preacher was saying. Therefore, I opted to focus my mind on heavenly things. Since Habakkuk 3:4 describes God’s radiance as being like sunlight. I imagined myself prostrating myself before a brilliant sun in heaven. As the church service continued, I could no longer hear what the preacher was saying. Next, the church congregation around me disappeared, and I found myself immersed before God’s presence in heaven.
A supernatural energy coming from the presence of God struck me!
As I worshipped God in my heart, something supernatural occurred. A powerful supernatural force struck me with such intensity that I nearly fell from my seat. In fact, I even thought an earthquake had shaken the church building. I found myself in the same situation as Saul in Acts 9:3–4, when suddenly a brilliant light from heaven shone around him and he fell to the ground!
Conclusion.
My wife, who was sitting beside me, asked if I was all right. I did not tell her about my heavenly experience, yet she must have sensed the fire of God radiating from my words. Through this experience, I came to understand that heaven is real. Indeed, it is better to set one’s heart on heavenly things than on earthly matters.
