From Glory to Glory

Dearly Beloved,

Grace Greetings in the Matchless Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by whom we have received the mandate to, “Reveal and to Demonstrate His Glory to the World.”

1 Peter 2:9 AMPC

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] ownpurchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Every believer is called to demonstrate the Life of God and to display His Power. We are here on earth to demonstrate the validity and the reality of the finished works of Christ. God has called each believer to be a witness and a confirmation that every promise in the Word of God is good for today.

You were redeemed to be a poster child of what is possible by faith in Jesus Christ. Think about that. You were not redeemed to be stagnated. You were redeemed to be released into a life that reveals or embodies the possibility of heaven on earth.

Did you know that the New Birth ushers into a new world of possibilities. Do you know that the New Birth ought to be a foretaste of heaven on earth? You may ask, “How is that possible?” Let us examine a few Scriptures.

Matthew 6:9-10 NKJV

In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Jesus Christ our Lord said that we could pray that God’s will be done in the earth as it is in heaven. God wants your life and my life to reveal what is available and possible in heaven. That means that God wants our lives to be free from sickness, disease, poverty, deprivation etc. See Galatians 1:3-4; Exodus 23:25-26; Isaiah 33:24;

Furthermore, you will find the Lord speaking to the children of Israel through Moses that if they lived according to His Words, the Israelites and their children would live lives that are like heaven on earth.

Deuteronomy 11:18-21 KJV

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

Paul the Apostle also explained to us that the Holy Spirit in us was meant to give us a foretaste of heaven. Think about that. We ought to think like heavenly men living on earth. We ought to live like citizens of heaven living on earth. See Philippians 3:20 NIV; 2 Corinthians 5:20; John 3:1-7.

Colossians 3:1-2 NLT

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

2 Corinthians 5:5 MSG

The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we'll never settle for less.

Don’t settle for less. Believe for the best. If it is not like heaven refuse to tolerate or have it in your life. Refuse sickness. Sickness is not in heaven. Refuse poverty. Poverty is not in heaven. Refuse lack. Expect more than enough. There’s abundance in heaven. There’s healing and health in heaven.

In the midst of these challenging times, God will come through for His people in a way and manner that convinces the world today that God answers prayers, that He is real, that He exists and that He is more powerful than any other force in the earth. God will never leave Himself without a witness. He will make His Word good. Expect the best. See Jeremiah 1:12; Isaiah 55:11; Luke 1:45; Numbers 23:19-20. Shalom

In His Majesty’s Service,

DWF
