Godislove,
Since we don't have scriptural evidence either way I don't see the harm in it, nor see it as a sign of greed. It will not matter either way as we are in heaven. But from people who have been there and testified there are houses and one testimony I read said he even knocked on someone's door while he was there and waited for them to answer. I would rather spend my time fantasizing about this than a lot of other things.
Blessings,

YES! And when he is done building this place His Father will give permission, so the only way to get Him to come "sooner" is to get out there and help Him build that Temple :)

Thank you GodisLove, what a delightful post!

Well, I must admit that I replied to some posts here before about how I wanted my mansion in Heaven to be. But I can assure you, I don’t think that greed was behind my wishes.
I thought it was a fun post. It does not say that we will receive a house in Heaven, but then again I know people who think we will sit on a cloud and play harp in all eternity too. That is not mentioned in the Bible either. I would honestly be more than happy just to get in . As I think most of us will.

And remember this verse:
1.Cor.2:9

But as it is written: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”

Indeed a great word, and an important message. As this speaks more of motivation rather than greed. Though there are many benefits, rewards and kindness's the Lord will show to those that love Him, indeed our love of Him and wanting to stand in His eternal presence worshiping Him, should be the first motivation of our heart & more importantly, our spirits. Lastly, being a triune being as like God, our souls & minds can then apprehend and receive what the Lord will bestow.

Indeed, it is always critical for us to check our motivations in all things, especially our desire to be in glory with Him. But you can't tell a hungry man not think of or desire food. Or a physically broken person to not desire health and well being. Our aspirations and desires are many fold, we just must simply prioritize them.


Love & blessings...Tender Reed

God Is Love,

I am looking forward in anticipation to whatever the Lord has in store for us in Heaven.
The Bible verse that Annelis shared encompasses my thoughts..
I too just want to get in the door.. LOL...
I pray that I am worthy to escape the Tribulation and go to Heaven to be with my Father in Paradise and praise and worship him forever and ever even if I have to live in a tent. LOL..

I look forward to seeing you up in the clouds soon..
Love and Hugs,

I have given this some thought until I felt uncomfortable doing so. It felt wrong to me to spend much time on this but that is only how this made me feel. My mansion would be a simple home on the water with a big front porch that many could sit on at once and a forest nearby to hike. I think the Lord will make his choices for us personal because he loves us that much.

I think it goes without saying that we all love the Lord and will feel blessed just to be with him in heaven.

Amen, AngelWings, looking forward to whatever the Lord has in store for us. Nothing would surprise me. We'll just be happy to escape what's going on ere. Getting in the door. The fact He has planned anything for me at all is a great privilege. I'll just be happy being where He is. But this I know. It will be wonderful and beyond our imaginations. The Temple and the Throne Room alone will be such an experience. He knows us better then we know ourselves. I'm sure you will be stunned by whatever He has planned that will speak to your heart. He loves us more than we realize. You will be happy I assure you.

NOW THIS IS ONE SPECIAL MOMENT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO...

The word mansion worked quite well in 1611 when the KJV translators chose it. The English Lords were the ones who owned mansions and they were filled with not only the extended family of the Lord, but also the many families that served in the mansion. It truly was many individual living compartments within the "Father's" Home. Now it seems individual families, or even individual people want mansions to dwell in all by themselves.

But whatever we fantasize about regarding our heavenly dwellings I am certain that it will be both very different than what we imagine, and much better than we can conceive.

I am with you, AngelWings, Sis!
I LOVE the lion poster!! I love lions.
I loved C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" (Aslan), and
I love Disney's "The Lion King" as well. The first time I
saw "The Lion King" in the theater (which was packed with
families, of course), at the part where Rafiki walks slowly to
the edge of Pride Rock & holds Simba, the new Prince, up
high for all to see: the animals are making their own sounds
loudly in praise of the new Prince, and then one-by-one they
Begin to bow on bended knee to him, I cried, & cried, & cried
because it made me think what it would be like when WE were
finally standing before Our King. It affects me the same way
everytime I see it. And just think, soon it will be a reality!! Oh,
the happiness, the joy we will feel, the love overflowing from our
hearts, Oh My Lord and King Jesus, how I long for that to be!!!
I can't wait!!!! Anywhere He is will be our home. Not bad! Not bad a'tall !!!

Loved your picture AngelWings, it made me laugh. That is how excited I will be for sure.

I'll be happy just to go through the pearly gates!LOL

I agree with a lot of things everyone said in their posts above.

But, AngelWings, you just made me laugh:

Whatever the Lord has prepared for me, it will be sufficient for me. I just want to be in His presence, serving Him.

Maranatha Lord Jesus!
