HEAVENLY PLACES 3

Ephesians 2:6-7 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (7) That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
 
We can sit in Heavenly places while we share the gospel with the lost.  That is not just the job of evangelists, pastors, deacons and others.  It is the job of each person who has been saved by the grace of God, through Jesus Christ.
 
Jesus said;
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
 
While Jesus is preparing a place for us, we are to be telling others of the place He is preparing for all those who believe.  It is a Heavenly command with a Heavenly purpose. 
 
Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
 
When we are being obedient to this command we are certainly in Heavenly places, after all, when Jesus is with us we are certainly in a Heavenly place.

If you know of someone new to the Kosciusko area and would like for our church to visit them please let us know.  Our prayers are that this devotional ministry will be an outreach to bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus.  I do appreciate you taking the time to read these devotionals and please keep us in your prayers.
