How do we walk in not only miraculous life but practical application of God’s love and grace in daily life?
It’s far easier to believe you can speak to a mountain to move out of the way (as Jesus said to disciples) when you are 30,000 feet up seated in an airplane than when underneath it and overwhelmed by it. Do we see reality by looking at the outward first or by seeing from within the kingdom? (From a resurrection and ascension seat with Christ - Eph 1:18-2:6 6 God raised us up with Christ. He has seated us with him in his heavenly kingdom because we belong to Christ Jesus.)
Can we live from the unseen into seen?
We're present in this world but the source of our life is by His presence, His purpose, His power, and the principles of His eternal Kingdom revealed both in His Word and in the natural laws at work all around us. We have jobs, responsibilities and roles here and now, but our life and destiny come from the there and then of Christ’s spiritual kingdom. Both natural and spiritual wisdom helped our founders establish a government with checks and balances. So we need balance and wisdom today, especially to discern and resist the evil of this present world and enemy.
What are we do? Rise above by practicing the celebration that is already going on in heaven. Practice praise and loving service. Hear and sing heaven’s music in your hearts now. See and hear the spirit-love-language of heaven’s covenant now. Then you can speak as if practicing how to think & live there.
If you don't plan on going to hell don't practice what comes from there: fear, worry, unforgiveness, unbelief, negativity, living under our circumstances...
Instead bring heaven here by beginning the day and conversations and work and relationships from the Kingdom within instead of reacting to things and people from without.
Matt 22:33 Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Eph 1:18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),
Acts 26:17 "'I'm sending you off to open the eyes of the outsiders so they can see the difference between dark and light, and choose light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God.
Ps 36 You're a fountain of cascading light, and you open our eyes to light.
Ps 119:17 Open my eyes so I can see what you show me of your miracle-wonders. I'm a stranger in these parts; give me clear directions. My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!— insatiable for your nourishing commands.
~Pastor Dwight
