Prayed. Let his will be done
Welcome. @GraceBong. Of course, we will pray with you, but remember, no matter what happens, I have news for you: you are now a stranger in a strange land. But I am not talking about the country you live in. I’m talking about the whole world. Remember what Jesus told us?
“If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19
In his Prayer, Jesus said this:
“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.” John 17-14:18
Notice He said, twice, “they are not of the world.” However, He did NOT say you will be taken out of the World, but that He was sending you into the World. This is where that popular phrase “In the World, not of it.” comes from. We are no longer OF the world, and this is why the World hates us so.
Once you accept Jesus, once you receive the Spirit of Adoption, once you become able to call the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. The Creator of all that is, was, or ever will be, Daddy, you are no longer a Citizen of Earth.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8-14:17
Paul wrote to the Church in Ephesus
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;” Ephesians 2:19
You are a Citizen of Heaven. We have all been adopted into the Family of God. We are all now Citizens of Heaven. This is why we are not to be conformed to this World. Our true home awaits.
Be blessed. Be a blessing.
Peter
