When we go to heaven, do we get to speak with Jesus whenever we would like?

Hello everyone! I’m new on this forum and just had a question I would like some opinions on! I tried posting on another site, but only got negative comments about my faith…

I’m Catholic and have been since I was young. I had some rocky points in my faith, but now I am back to the Lord and Jesus for good this time. I was reading “Heaven is for real” and noticed how the boy was saying how he was talking to Jesus. So, it got me wondering; on Earth we can talk to Jesus through prayer whenever we want, and he always listens. When we go to heaven, and we actually see him in person, will we still get to talk to him whenever we would like and just have a “best friend” so to speak or do only a select few get to see him?

Thank you for your time and (name removed by moderator)ut! 🙂

The book “Heaven is for real” is erroneous in faith.

In Heaven we will have instantaneous intellection.

Which, by translation, means that we will know instantly in our minds, without the need for “talking” or language.

While philosophical jargon has a certain value, it is a language not everybody speaks. But life everlasting will remove those limitations on our minds.

And certainly we will get to know our LORD in HIS human self!

ICXC NIKA.
 
“Heaven is for Real” is one person’s experience through a near death experience. It can’t really be used to tell anyone exactly what Heaven is like. The Bible tells us that: …“eye has not seen.”…what lay in store for us when we are united with God in Heaven.

From my near death experience I have certain expectations however. As another person already indicated; we will have “instant intellection.” Though I never heard that used before that does describe what I experienced. There is a sudden knowing and understanding of all things that exceeds explanation. There is just no way to explain it.

The best I can come with outside of this, is the idea that we will be one with God, so we really will not need to ask anything, or be told anything. Everything will be known to us because we are one with God in Heaven.
 
We often conceptualize Heaven as a physical place that our immortal souls travel to upon death. However, that isn’t exactly the case. Though it is true that at the end of days when our bodies are resurrected and the New Earth is established, that will be an object within physical creation.

From the Catechism:
1024 This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity—this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed—is called ‘heaven.’ Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.

I think it’s important to mention that the details are ultimately mysterious and not entirely knowable by human minds at this juncture. That’s God’s business.

We can speak to Jesus anytime we want to now.

I think it is somewhat futile to imagine what heaven will be like. It is like someone who has been blind from birth trying to imagine the color blue. It is beyond our hopes and imaginations.

:mad: Your question is illogical. If we believe that God is a personal God who desires to have personal relationships with his creations, then all would naturally converse soundly with him In Heaven.

Each soul is unique, a matchless treasure. Some persons, like King David and Thomas Aquinas, seem more notable than others throughout history, but in the end, everyone is notable to God, who eyes every movement and thought.

Eben Alexander, who underwent a Near Death Experience. has written a book called: Proof of Heaven, a neurosurgeon’s journey into the afterlife. In this book, Dr. Alexander claims that communication between creatures in Heaven is instantaneous. Think of a question, and every possible answer is transferred to your consciousness in less than a millisecond.

286 Human intelligence is surely already capable of finding a response to the question of origins. The existence of God the Creator can be known with certainty through his works, by the light of human reason,122 even if this knowledge is often obscured and disfigured by error. This is why faith comes to confirm and enlighten reason in the correct understanding of this truth: "By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear."123

On Earth and Purgatory, and when tainted with sin, we see God as in a mirror, but in Heaven, we see him face to face, even more clearly than Moses did.

:heaven: Exodus 34:29-36 :heaven:

If Moses was holy enough to be God’s intimate friend and speak with him “face to face”, to the point where he scared Israel by the radiance from his face, then how much more of God’s face will he and everyone else see in Heaven, where sin is no longer a component of the human life?

You’re welcome.
 
Are you even sure that you’ll go to heaven. That’s not a topic to be assumed. We are to work out our salvation and not assume that we are saved.

In heaven we will have The Beatific Vision, we will be constantly in His presence.
 
From what I read, yes, I think we would be able to talk to Jesus at any time not just in our hearts but visibly too. 🙂
 
Yes. You will always have him whenever you want, and you will always want him. It will be both spiritual and physical. The present life is less physical than the future one.
