Beschreibung

You can live in God's Kingdom and still not be convinced. Heaven is filled with those who bow and worship while one secretly disagrees and questions God's plan for a family on Earth. This worker of Eternal Paradise sees the family suffering and in pain and wonders what God is up to. Is God really good? Is God always right? Will Thaddeus be able to agree with God or will he abandon his faith and his Assignment altogether?

I

want to thank Matt and Jacki Drane and Beth Hall for research for this book, and opening up to me about their lives in the ministry. Thank you Anthony Cromyak Jr. for creating a fantastic art design for the front cover of this book.  Thank you to my good friends, Tommie Swisher and Liz Dodd, for your editing and feedback with this book as well as so many others who support me in my writing career. As always, special gratitude goes to my husband, Travis, for believing in me and holding my hand through this entire process. I wouldn't be here without you!  Jesus Christ, your fantastic love is what makes me want to keep writing about you and is something I want to spend the rest of my life sharing with others. This book is dedicated in loving memory to my Aunt Judy.

"I am going to prepare a place for you." –Jesus (John 14:2)

From Glory to Glory

Jesus Christ moves and prepares a way for you; a way where there once was no way. He plans the details and sets up the players. He makes it so you cannot fail.

He then waits in the spot He has prepared for you. He moves furniture and decorates the place to your liking. It looks exactly like everything you would want and desire. He arranges the area with you in mind. He protects your spot so no demon in Hades can hinder, deny or delay it. It’s yours.

You walk; the Holy Spirit behind you. He allows you to choose where you want to go. When asked, He’ll whisper in your ear subtle hints and directions. He may even reach out His hand and point the way. He stays behind you to make it almost impossible for you to stop, give up and turn back. He gives you the desire to move ahead. If you start to look back, you see Him encouraging you to move forward. You may not always know the way, but you will get there.

There is only one door with your name on it; the others are shut, bound and locked. There is only one room prepared for you. Stay on the path that is yours, and don’t waver because the door on your right looks better or the door on your left is a taller one with a gold doorknob. Your path may not seem glamorous, but it’s yours nonetheless.

Once you’re in that area Jesus has prepared for you and the Holy Spirit has led you, you will feel and know that you are in the perfect will of God. You see Jesus there and you bow in awe. You cry thanking the Holy Spirit. The Glory of God falls because His sons are together again. You have found the place prepared for you and you start to see it is everything you love. And what’s best...you stay in His Glory!

CHAPTER 1

hange was happening and coming quick. You could feel it, itching at you as you waited desperate for movement. You had been in a holding pattern for too long. You had prayed day after day to be released from what felt like a prison and all the while, you were still here. Life was still the same, a revolving motion of people, activity, sleep, and food.... No passion. No interest. Just stuck. What you were unaware of was that Heaven was moving. You could not see it but there was crucial happenings going on! Heaven was quite aware of your feelings. In fact, Heaven was also craving for you to leave but knew timing was everything. This progression of movement happened years ago. A board meeting of sorts was called in Heaven. The topic of interest? You. In the array of halos and wings was a flurry of activity involving the next steps for you; what path you should be on and what door needed to be opened next. The Heavenly meeting went a little something like this...

If you can, picture and imagine a discussion of higher-ups, sitting around a long, brown rectangular table and up on the projector screen was the image of the person, the subject matter of the meeting, who is currently down on Earth. Though every believer has the attention of Heaven, this meeting was specifically about Travis, one of God’s own. Now, God calls all His kids His “child,” referring and emphasizing that each person is important in the eyes of Heaven. But this case is all about this one child’s life.

There were no weapons; all guardians had their swords down. This was known as the meeting place with God's trusted allies. Most of these recruits were there when the world began. They knew how it was and knew what God was looking for. This conference room was labeled: Destiny on the outside door which was always a loud and chaotic scene, busier than the other Heavenly meetings for sure and filled at its core with game-changers and difference-makers. A mesh of light and beauty invaded the room. The only thing that separated the Trinity from others was their Glory, scaled down just for this occasion.

Let us listen in.

*****

There was one who clearly had more authority than the others. He was trimmed out in His very best business suede suit that made Gucci look like a brown paper bag. Accessories of gold cufflinks and a real silver chain wrapped around His personal timepiece completed His wondrous look and His slick back hairstyle looked like Vidal Sassoon personally took time to style it, which perhaps he did.

God had the allure of a man of the ages, classic in His look, grandeur in His demeanor and a trendsetter all His own. He certainly was young in appearance yet He looked aged around the eyes. And God was in control of everything. In fact, if I were to write down all that He did, that would be this entire book. I know though that He is very big on delegating. I wonder if that was the reason for the start of the Trinity.

God spoke, His voice pulsing with authority. “My child can’t stay where he is. He’s outgrown his spot. We must do something.”

One angel looked down in defeat. “I talked with the supervisor and she will not allow him to enter another level in his department.”

“Who is she?” God asked.

“Supervisor Jordan Mitchell.”

God had a look of disdain as He recalled that name. She left the Kingdom of Light and sold her soul to the darkness years ago. She was not to be swayed, certainly not at this moment and certainly not for a Christ-follower. In fact, she sees the signs and closes the doors immediately if they even look like her ex-love. 

Jesus, always the optimistic one, chimed in. “Alright. Who else has any more answers or direction we can take with our child? He’s going to need some help!”

Jesus was the obvious right hand to God. He was known around Heaven as dealing largely with corporate venues, miraculous events and righteous living with angels and humans. When it comes to the Holy Trinity, He was the kid in the family. Jesus was always so optimistic and hopeful, as if nothing could get him down. Today, dressed down with blue jeans and a black blazer, He looked just as youthful as God. He liked to keep a crown on his head though, probably to show emphasis even with his young appearance. He had many crowns and wore the massive one in the throne room; but today it was just the single band with jewels.

Jesus elected another angel to speak. “Plateaus! Haven’t you been working on something?” 

“Yes,” Plateaus said, startled to be called on so quickly. “I reached out to other companies and talked with their division managers. I subtly and conversationally talked about our child to them. Some quickly dismissed the issue blaming the economy or budgetary cuts for the reason to not hire someone though they use far more money than they need to on....”

“Let’s not take forever on this, Plateaus!” another angel roared out. “Did you work on your assignment or not?”

Plateaus quickly got to the point. “Well, I have two managers who are considering our child for a position. However, one is far away and would be a great inconvenience for him. And the other one is not very big of an operation so they cannot provide much more money or opportunity than he has now. But of course, the manager of that company is a great believer in our alliance and has become complacent in whatever we ask of her. She is standing by for our instructions.”

God shook his head. Of all the power He had, He still couldn’t change free will. He couldn’t operate unless His people cooperated with Him.

“What to do,” God whispered under His breath, rubbing His temples. He had been promising His child for months now that the change was coming soon and to keep waiting on Him, and with hiccups like these...well...

“I have one idea.” came the voice of someone at the back of the room hiding between the massive giants of archangels.

“Go ahead, Thaddeus! You may speak!” God sounded, remembering how useful Thaddeus had been on Earth with his creative implementations on projects and ownership of profitable companies. God knew once he got to Heaven, He would assign Thaddeus specifically to the board to discuss logistics on Divine Callings.
