A Sermon for the Saints:

Your Life

in the Millennium

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

Today we fix our hearts on the glorious reality that awaits those who are raised in the first resurrection.

You will be a resurrected saint — a spirit being in a glorified body — reigning with Christ during the 1,000 years.

And

in that time, you will have a real, personal life on this earth. You will not wander without roots. You will have a home. You will have land.

You will have purpose, rest, and even the simple joys you love.

  1. You will have a literal physical house to call your own. As a ruler over a city, the Lord will provide you a dwelling place — a true home where you can relax, reflect, and enjoy fellowship. This will not be temporary lodging or borrowed space. It will be yours. It will be YOUR property as a Spirit being.
  2. You will enter its doors after your labors, sit in its rooms, and find peace there. The promises of the Jesus/Yahushua ruled earth during these 1,000 years

include building houses and inhabiting them.

  1. Your physical house will be a place of rest for your glorified spirit manifested body.

2. You will have land, and yes, you will pay taxes on it.

As one given authority over a city, you will steward real territory. That means land assigned under your rule. You will pay taxes on that land as part of the orderly administration of the kingdom — just as faithful stewardship requires order and contribution to the common good. These taxes will support the city, the temple worship, and the flourishing of the realm. Your payment of them will be an act of joyful participation in Christ’s righteous government.

  1. On that land you will grow what you love.

You will plant split peas, tomatoes, and beans. As a spirit being in a glorified body, you will work the soil with your hands if you desire. You will watch the plants grow, tend them, harvest them, and enjoy the fruit of your labor. The earth during the Millennium will yield abundantly. There will be no curse of futility or thorns. You will taste YOUR OWN HOME GROWN tomatoes warm from the vine. You will shell the peas and gather the beans.

This simple pleasure will be part of your life — a sanctified joy given to you by the King you serve.

  1. You will rule your city with Christ-given authority.

You will not be idle. You will govern, make decisions, bring justice, and guide the people of your city into the ways of the Lord.

Your glorified body will allow you to move among them with power and wisdom. Yet your rule will flow from rest in your own home. You will return from your duties to the place you call home — to relax, to pray, to enjoy the garden you have planted.

  1. Your daily life will be full, balanced, and satisfying —
  2. including the things you enjoy. As a spirit being, you will be able to buy and enjoy physical possessions. You can purchase a 15' Chris Craft boat with a 40 HP motor to go fishing on the waters. You can maintain a small car collection, keeping your 1966 Dodge Charger and adding a few more vehicles that bring you joy. This will not be as large as some collections, but it will be yours — real, physical, and a source of delight during the 1,000 years.

You will worship at the central place of God’s presence. You will fellowship with other resurrected saints. You will oversee the flourishing of your city while maintaining your own home and land. As a spirit being, you will know no weariness that drains you, yet you will still experience the goodness of work, rest, harvest, and the simple pleasures of boats and cars.

Dear saint, during the 1,000 years you will not be a homeless wanderer. You will be rooted.

You will have a house that is truly yours.

You will have land on which you pay taxes and

on which you grow split peas, tomatoes, and beans.

You will have your boat for fishing and

your small car collection including the 1966 Dodge Charger.

You will rule your city during the humans’ 9 to 5 schedule, and “then”

you will rest and relax and enjoy your own property,

AND

you can go fishing ON YOUR DAYS OFF and

you can drink wine or beer AT YOUR HOME or with your city dwellers or with Jesus after the 1000 years, Matthew 26:29 NIV

“I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Bible Gateway

and

you will rejoice in the goodness of the King who has prepared all things for you.

Bottom Line:

YOU will NOT NOT NOT be in Heaven.

YOU will be ON THE EARTH

with streets and houses and

you will work daytime in Municipal City Management Buildings

and even go to bars and restaurants and pool halls and sporting events, or go fishing

“while”

Living as a Spirit Being.

And it would make sense that you would rule and live in the ethnicity of a city you are already FAMILIAR with that city’s custom’s and habits,

so that you are capable of UNDERSTANDING the people during your administration for that particular city.

YOU will have a house= your own “physical” house in that city!

You will not be floating around in space, nor be an absentee Ruler/Mayor.

You will guide people of your city into the ways that lead to their Eternal Life.

Editor’s Note:

I am telling you this now in July of 2026, SO THAT you can prepare your mind for your Spirit Being Life that WILL START by 2035, 2039, or latest 2048.

Amain.

Sincerely,

Lawrence Albert Nowell
