Eternal Mansions
The devil knows that his future is already determined. Nothing can change his condition of being condemned.
Now his job and all of his time is dedicated to keep mankind, who was created in the image and likeness of the Almighty, from having a different ending from his.
The Lord Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you." John 14.1-2
There are many reasons that may trouble your heart: the end of a relationship, financial problems, health and family problems, a death, etc.
The devil and his demons use everything to penetrate inside a person and install chaos (a troubled heart).
When someone believes in the Lord Jesus, his problems do not disappear like magic. Everyone has their struggles and challenges – the difference is in the faith, the quality of faith.
If I think that I will only live a measly 70, 80 years or a little more, then my mind will groan with the pain of my problems.
The mansions of the Father's house were not made-up by our Lord to settle us down, so that we have something to occupy our minds, because if this were so, he would not have said it.
The mansions exist and are ready for those who remain firm, who do not give up because of the battles, but always come out of them stronger. Those who understand that they are in this world but do not belong to it. Their greatest connection is not with the things or the people of this world, but with the One who came, sacrificed His life on the cross, and went to prepare the place where we will spend eternity.
