U SQUAD!!! Can't wait to see ya'll so SOON!
Here's a little something as we leave the country…. Pay attention to how you are thinking and what you are feeling now. What are the thoughts that are going through your head. Take note. Not necessarily in regards to the craziness of getting ready to leave, but on a deeper level. What are the thoughts and feelings in your spirit.
When we get to Thailand and other ministry sites, again take an inventory of your thoughts and feelings.
The spiritual atmosphere will be different everywhere we go. I wish we could all see into the spiritual realm for a day, or even an hour. I think we would be blown away! There is so much going on in the spiritual realm. Everything that takes place in the seen realm originates in the spiritual realm. Unfortunately, we can only see the physical world, so we often forget that there is a whole other world that determines what happens in the seen world.
The point is that there are different things going on in the spiritual realm in different countries. I’m confident that you will experience this for yourself this year. But I want to encourage you to take inventory of how you are thinking and feeling as you move into new environment. It's important to be able to differentiate between what is yours and what you are feeling simply because you are in a different spiritual atmosphere.
If you can recognize and be aware of what you think normally, then you will know what is not yours. And if you are aware of this, it is easier to say no to the lies and feelings that aren't yours and know that you are seated in Heavenly places, above all the other junk.
Here’s a little food that coincides with this…
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
Here’s the really good stuff. Mmmmm!
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
We are seated in Heaven…seated in Him. Everywhere we go is an OPEN HEAVEN. That's our inheritance. That's the victory of the cross.
