Where aware are you tonight? What if I told you that there's more to it? That there are benefits and resources from heaven that are available to help you in this life. And you've never heard about it. Are you curious? Well, join Gordon Merrill as he digs deeper into making heaven real in this life.

Welcome back to Making Heaven Real. Where aware are you tonight? Is the beginning line of a chorus of a song written actually back in 1952 by Lee Roberts. Kind of made popular by the 70s TV show Hee-Haw. But it has a different meaning for those of us who have recently experienced a fresh, devastating loss and grief. Makes you wonder where's anybody tonight or today? One of the things I hear a lot is, have I been completely abandoned by God as well as everybody else? And initially the quick and short and easy answer to that is no. Even though you may be in a spot right now where you don't think that's true. You don't feel that. But I can tell you it is true. Having gone through that very same situation, going through that very same darkness where you wonder if anybody is listening. If anybody is around, if anybody cares. So I want to kind of branch out on that a little bit more from last week. Again, the short answer is no. You are never, ever, ever alone. We've talked about the physiological changes of a severe devastating loss and how that affects your body and how your mind does strange things because your body is in a state of emergency trying to recover. And in a state of emergency similar to what you've learned as fight or flight, something shut down so that those critical core functions can still happen. Last week we got into what heaven calls the grief gate. And in that case, it's kind of twofold. Until you have this devastating grief, you probably don't even take the time to look for a new doorway to communicate with heaven. But at the same time, grief does also create this new doorway. I just didn't really know what I was listening for. And that's where the changes to the doorway start us down the path of learning the language and the communication of spirit. God provided our spirits to go into this human suit that we're occupying so that we can be on this earth for this human experience to learn to grow and mature. At the same time, what we also learned is that God sent our spirit. And this particular lifetime that we're in is one of those major classes on our college degree. So stop and think for me with me for a minute on how this looks. And one of our sons, we'll call him junior, just graduated from high school, and he's excited as he can be to go off to college. And in a month, college is going to start. So the family starts putting things together to move junior to college. He chose the college about four states away because he didn't want to be close to the family or have the family come bother him and or embarrass him on a regular basis. But when JR starts college, nothing really has changed except his location. He still has a loving family at home. He still has his support system at home. He still has Dad's credit card to keep him in food while he's still at college. And he always has someone to listen when times are hard. Someone to offer advice, someone to help point him in the right direction, someone to love him unconditionally. So here we are. We are spirits in this classroom. In this college session where we're learning. So we still have a loving family at home. We still have a support system in heaven. We still have a heavenly father who provides everything we need on this journey. We have a spirit team that's here to listen when times are hard. We have a spirit team to offer advice and guidance, to even plan our day if we let them. But all of them and everything that's in heaven loves us unconditionally. Every spirit has the heavenly tie. And how strong is that tie? God gave us as a spirit to this earthly body for this experience. But as we have talked about and as we learn in Scripture, every spirit has a heavenly birthright. Heavenly equity is available, our spirit teams available, our guardian angels available. And as a spirit we have an inherent right to abundance, love and manifestation. Do you really think a spirit with all of that behind him would be left alone? I've hinted to my example several times through some of these episodes, but I wanted to look at this by just a different glance at the same situation to fit what we're talking about today. My life with my late wife was absolutely amazing. I have called her my earth angel many times. Literally. And when she departed and graduated the way I call it, she graduated when she got done with her her plan here. But when she departed, the weekend before, we spent together doing wonderful things together. Went on a trip, just not too far, but just a day trip. Had fun, did a lot of things together, really enjoyed the weekend. Monday she started the process of having lab tests that sent her to the emergency room that sent her to have this procedure done that she never came out of. So you go from several years of absolute, for lack of a better term, heaven on earth for me. And this was an absolutely wonderful weekend. And then she goes downstairs to have this procedure that the doctor says we do all the time. She'll be back in 30 minutes. And she's gone. Is we're not around our kids. We're not around our family. We were in an area that's where she used to grow where she grew up and where she used to live. Not much had happened around there where we had the option to meet with a lot of people because of COVID. Didn't have a whole lot of friends. And both of us work from home. So there's no co-workers to mingle with. Not a lot of family to mingle with. And as I've expressed a couple times in previous episodes, two different denominations didn't want anything to do with us. Or me after this. So here I am in a town that I don't know a whole lot of people. And not even the neighbors want to be out and available and talk. I spend a lot of time day to day walking around looking to heaven and going, Why can't I hear you? Why are you not there? And when I'm finally asking heaven one day, why is it that no one knows how to handle grief? Why is it that spiritual communities don't know to hand how to handle their people and teach them and help them through these times? As you've heard me say on here before, that's when heaven spoke to me and said, It's time for us to teach them. And that's why making heaven real is here. There's no way, with everything I just told you, about the heavenly tie and the spirit sent from heaven for this college experience, that heaven's going to turn their back on you ever, at any time. Scripture promises, I will never leave you nor forsake you. I have given you life and a life to be more abundant. Anything you need, ask, and it will happen. And I have given you a love that is unconditional, unending, boundless, and eternal. Your life's plan, including the devastating loss and grief, is the plan that has made you you. In order to clear the path to communicate to heaven, we have to refocus. Tune that station in on the dial better. To do that, you stop resisting your story, you quit trying to hide your loss and grief under the cover. Accept it. Stop avoiding your feelings and start really feeling. Start seeing what you have never allowed yourself to see before. A lot of what you hear right here falls into that category. Things that you've never been allowed to see or that you've never allowed yourself to see clearly before. So you are never alone. You've never been alone. You will never be alone. Your team has been with you the whole time. And when you clear your mind and focus on your spiritual support that's available to you, clear your thoughts and open your thoughts to heaven. That's when you'll find your team. They are ready to help and ready to help you here. When you allow them to speak, guide you, and manage your day. Totally real in your life.
