What are your desires for Heaven? Psalm 37:4-Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Heaven is like and what it means to have a glorified body.

We have an example of someone with a glorified body — Jesus. He could materialize and dematerialize at will.


In heaven with a glorified body can materialize in this world. Since this world is a physical, material world, these materializations are physical and material.

The glorified bodies in heaven do not have internal organs because they are not needed.

We will eat food but it will not be to nourish our bodies but to delight our spirits.

The form of the body will change as our moods change. Thus, the disciples could not recognize Jesus because he looked different. But then, his form changed and he looked familiar to them so they then recognized him.

In the new heavens and new earth this physical, material world will disappear altogether.


However, the heavenly world will still remain and we will be given glorified bodies in which to enjoy heaven. We will have all the powers we have in our dreams. We will surf and fly. We will spend every moment worshipping God.

The new heavens and new earth will not have any pain and suffering......

The material, physical body has senses. Sensations from the senses enter our minds and our souls and form memories which reside in our souls in intricate detail. Once we die we reside in heaven with a soul but no body. We will still have an active intellect and will, but we will no longer be collecting memories from our material, physical senses. Thus we will only be able to recollect upon those things we did while alive here on earth.


Our souls will interact with the souls of those still living here on earth (as well as those in heaven) and we will pray and intercede for them. In purgatory we will ponder the deeds we did while alive and will finally shed our attachment to those sinful tendencies (concupiscence) we had while alive on the earth.

Once the final judgment occurs and we are given resurrected bodies we will again begin to collect new data from our physical, material senses. We will surf, fly, worship God, etc., and remember doing these things. But now, free from sin, all our memories will be happy memories

I'm going to want a new assignment.

I know I'm not done with this one yet but am
anticipating victory here!

AMen to that!

I had a dream once of having a glorified body. It was as tough as stone but as flexible as ours is now. It was clear to me that no created elements could ever injure it!
