Wealthy Pilot Dies From Opioid Overdose, Sees Hell & Heaven

I don't think that's what this means at all.

See, in this life, when we commit all we do to God, when we trust him, when we start to realize he is our delight because he's a source of everything we love, then he will give us good things, but he won't give us things that will ruin us.

And just like Jim confessed, unfortunately, many times, you know, God does bless us with wealth and with resources.

But unfortunately, self-centered human nature tends to say, I don't need God.

Look what I've done for myself.

Interestingly, go read Deuteronomy 8.

God warns of this.

He wants to.

He delights in blessing us.

But he also worries that we're going to think it's all about us and forget the source of it all.

So God doesn't give us everything we want all the time in this life.

Just like I don't give my granddaughters everything they want all the time.

You know, all the sweets and sugar and ice cream they desire because it wouldn't be good for them.

And the problem is they're just not mature enough to handle it yet.

But one day they will be.

And hopefully one day we can be spiritually mature enough for God to give us all the good things he wants to give us as well.

But here's an interesting thing.

I've also heard from so many near-death experiencers.

how they talk about that God does give us our heart's desires in the life to come.

And they got a glimpse of that because in the life to come, self is not ruling.

Only those who have let God be the ruler and in heaven, God's love truly does rule.

So it's safe to give us the desires of our hearts and have it not corrupt us.

And this is what Jim discovers.

You know, this angel, his guardian hugs him and he smells tapioca because God knew that would bring a feeling of home.

Taps his robe and the angel gives him a flyover of the holy city.
