  • The Katharos Of Heaven

    Wednesday, September 20, 2017

    Heaven is characterized by a unique property. Revelation 21 describes heaven as having streets of pure gold like clear glass. The Greek word for both pure and clear is katharos. What is heaven? Heaven is katharos. It’s all the joy of this life with all the impurities taken out. Heaven is pure fulfillment, pure wonder, pure righteousness, pure goodness, pure love, pure life, and pure joy. The substance of heaven isn’t pure gold or pure glass, it’s purity itself. That’s something you can have in your life right now. If you want a taste of heaven, and the heavenly quality in your life, then live a pure life. Stop wavering, compromising, indulging, and playing it both ways. Stop living two lives. Make up your mind to put away the impurity and set your heart purely on the things of God. Set your affections and your will purely on the delights and will of God. You will have t he heavenly quality of katharos. Your joy will become pure gold, your faith clear glass, and your life will become heaven on earth.
    From Message #337 - The Blessings Of The Pure

    Scripture: 1 John 3:3

    TODAY'S MISSION - Make up your mind to put away that impurity and live in katharos, in purity - pure thoughts, pure love, and pure joy.

    Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
