HEAVENLY PLACES 3

Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) (6) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

A WORSHIP SERVICE IS A HEAVENLY PLACE

Do you really listen to the words in the songs you sing in church? There are some great messages there and most of the songs we sing can be used with a scripture reference. If it can't then maybe we shouldn't be singing it.

From the very early years of childhood we learn much about God through songs. "Jesus loves me this I know.. For the Bible tells me so"
Uh huh... you want to sing along don't you. Go ahead and if someone ask you what you are doing just look at them and smile and say, "I just decided that I want to sit in Heavenly places today."

Singing is only a part of worship. We should worship during prayer, the offering and yes even during the message. The best definition I have ever heard for worship is... an overflowing adoration. When our hearts are overflowing with love for God then we are worshiping. When we truly worship that is sitting in heavenly places.

When you complain about church services just remember that is a whole lot of what Heaven will be like. Church is just the rehearsal. Of course we will be changed and made perfect and we will surely enjoy it more in our new bodies.

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.
