We LIVE By Faith Not By Sight from 2 Corinthians 5:6-10

We have the Holy Spirit to guarantee us that we are own by the LORD.

John 14:1-3
1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Paul's life gave Him the confidence to work on his ministry.
if we are not confident, then we need to be refresh by His word.

Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

We live by faith not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Sometimes we are to focus on many things Not By Faith.
Faith is base upon our reliance and everything we do.
Faith is being sure by what we hope for not by what are being seen.

Many times we failed because of unbelief.
To walk by faith, is To make faith part of daily activities.

The Lord Love will remain Forever.

Heaven is indescribable.

To be away from the body is to be at Home at the Lord.
To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

These are false teachings:

  • soul sleep
  • purgatory


When we die it's all done.

Don't believe there are waiting place.
2 Corinthians 5:9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

Whether we are in this world or away from it, we must please God. Desire to be more like Him.

When we get to heaven, everything are done.

Hebrews 6:10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
