His spirit was freed from his body and taken by two angels into the presence of God in Heaven moments after his body stopped living and the eternal spirit which each of us has was taken (by our death angels) immediately to Heaven at the eastern gate where all of his friends and loved ones who have gone before him are waiting to welcome him to his eternal home in glory and to see Jesus !
He has a new immortal body and looks just like himself.
Any family members or friends in heaven are all there with him at this time. He cannot wait to see Jesus. The ONE who loves him and gave HIS own life for him..
Charlie is happy and free from the constraints of this earthly body. He has a new one that is perfect and immortal. And He looks like just like Charlie did on earth.. We will recognize and know him in heaven..
Just as people will recognize us should we meet in heaven..
Charlie was taken to the Eastern Gate where friends and family gathered to greet him.
Some way GOD will devise a plan to take care of Charlie's wife and children.. He will provide for them and meet all their needs.
Pray for his wife and children to get thru this time of grief and deep sorrow.
I cannot imagine what that devastation feels like to lose your spouse and soul mate. Half of you is just ripped and torn away from you..
I hope Charlie has seen The Lord Jesus in all HIS glory and love for Him.. I am sure he heard Jesus say to him "well done my good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord".
Pray for Charlie's wife and children to be able to endure the time of grieving. They are devastated at this time I am sure..
The Bible states about believers whose names are recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life when they get promoted to heaven and arrive: " Enter into the joy of thy Lord thou good and faithful servant".
Charlie will have already seen HIS LORD and Savior Jesus Christ and is in complete amazement of the beauty and colors of Heaven..
We need not pray for him. We need to uphold his family in prayer and make sure they are taken care of and for their sorrow and grief they are now enduring on a scale I cannot imagine..
