Morning Message | Heavenly Citizens
Matthew 13:44Oh my goodness, I finally understand this scripture in practical terms. Because I have done it over the past year…The Kingdom of Heaven is SOOOO PRECIOUS that you hide it in your heart and drop everything just so you can keep itMy God, remember James 4:4 “Your friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God” THAT is the reason we “sell all of our possessions” We drop all things that we used to know, people will say, “when I was in the world” somebody said “clean up your social media, get rid of pictures of you when you were in the world” maybe some of us need to do that.For example, I changed all my handles to @thebiblestudygirl or my YouTube is @thegirlsgirlbiblestudy because I am no longer in the world, I am placed in that field of the Kingdom, enjoying the treasure & planting seeds of righteousness and praise. God told me “MAKE ROOM” that’s why you gotta buy the whole field, cause you are sure to see a luscious garden grow. Sold all my possessions: dropped all my lil boyfriends, isolated myself from worldly folk, stopped smoking and drinking, stopped even watching tv cause 😵💫 Social medias are super duper clean and sanctified. Started attending church regularly even though I was in my word the whole time. But the Bible says don’t forsake the gathering of the saints so I had to obey. Like… I sold all my worldly possessions. & I’m extremely joyful about it. Idc what nobody has to say. lolDo y’all have a testimony like this? “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”Ephesians 6:10-12 NLT 🏹🔥Gooodmorning sisters in Christ! Remember to be STRONG in the Lord wherever you go, here or there, always keeping guard over your heart. We test the spirit in people by the acknowledgement of Jesus Christ && the fruits of the spirit which are: “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”Galatians 5:22-23 NLTStand clear of those that don’t possess it, and always pray for them to receive it.Being strong in the Lord can sometimes mean rebuking the devil in others. Being strong in the Lord, confident in his word. I had to tell a coworker to stop gossiping in the work group chat. That confidence comes from the wisdom found in the scriptures.“I have made your forehead as hard as the hardest rock! So don’t be afraid of them or fear their angry looks, even though they are rebels.””Ezekiel 3:9 NLTHope this blessed someone today ❤️🔥🏹 (Study Ephesians 6 for more about the armor of God)
