Many of us, we don’t realize this that in order for us to be effective, successful, strong in the Lord on earth, we need to live in the heavens. See, the problem is that we are used to ugliness. We are used to darkness. We are so fleshbound that we can only think of earth. So, we are busy looking to earth for our supplies.
And God wants to teach us that everything starts in heaven. You must be heavenly minded. If you are to be of any earthly good and to be a blessing to people. How do I live in heaven, pastor? First of all, you got to know that you are there already. Not to do but to be. Not to execute something but to rejoice in a reality. Amen.
You are so close to God. You are conscious. You’re always loved. Maybe you come from a family that is cold. You are still the beloved. Find your love and affirmation in the beloved. Amen. Be conscious of it and you will see heavenly results on earth. That’s the secret. That’s the secret. Amen. And Jesus said that before he comes again there’ll be wars and rumors of wars.
Nation will rise against nation. And then he says there’ll be famines. We have financial famine that’s hitting the whole world and there’ll be pestilences. These are caused by diseases, plagues. [Music] And then he says great earthquakes. Has there been a rise in great earthquakes? 6.5 in the Rita scale. Yes.
In our generation. Jesus said when you see all these things happening at all at once. All right. Know that these are the birth pangs. These are the signs. He said when you see these things happen, he didn’t say be discouraged. Cast your head down. He said lift up your heads. Don’t be obsessed by it. Don’t be distressed by it. Lift your head above this world.
