Ann and I were talking this morning about a number of things including Caleb wanting to take on the Anak giants so he could have their land – at 85 years of age he was as strong as ever. Annie said some really neat things. One thing she said was, “That’s the really neat thing about Jesus and Heaven. They’re so not of this world.”
I think about the scriptures God gave us while living in Oregon – they can be seen on the choosingjesuseveryday.com site. We were to memorize and live by the words in those verses. Why? Because they would set us free from the damage that had been done to us by this world and by the lies of the enemy. We were not living the Word. The only way for us to be healed and set free from worldly living patterns and the devil’s lies was to dive into God’s Word.
Not of this world. It’s more than just a bumper sticker. We can live in Jesus while on earth. We can set our affection on things above and be totally transformed and changed by His glory, His beautiful Truth that sets us free. Hallelujah!
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colosians 3:2
Thanking and praising God in all things,
