A New Home

This summer, as many of you return home to your families and friends, remember....you are not the same as you once were.

What happened?

Your home address changed (or it will).

For too long Christians choose the residency of heaven over hell, but it doesn't become home until they actually get there. That is changing.

At the moment of your salvation, you became part of the greatest home on earth, the Kingdom of God! You are no longer of this world, just as Jesus was not of this world (John 17:16). Its time to stop striving in a life in which you are trying to reach others by operating from earth; its time to start thriving by operating from heaven to earth!

Home is where the heart is. The more you give your heart to God the more heavenly love you are able to give to others. The more you submit yourself to heaven, the more heaven you will bring to earth. As you walk into rooms and restaurants you will see the atmosphere change because "the kingdom of God is in the midst of you" (Luke 17:21).

It was prophesied over a friend of mine that she would be a "spiritual homemaker." I conclude that this is a call to all of us, that wherever we go we would be ones who create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to come and inhabit.

Grace to Conquer,
John
