Welcome to the Lifestyles of the Anointed
Colossians 3:1-2 "Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth."
In this day and age most of what you know and come to understand has come from what we have seen whether through news, entertainment or reading. Throughout our days we see a wide variety of things that subconsciously shape our perspective on the world around us and give us a view point through which we are able to interact in our environments. Although this is a natural action for the believer it is imperative that we do more than just see naturally, we must see from the correct view point.
The scripture in Colossians tells us that we ought to focus on the realities of heaven. Reality is defined as "the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them." Heaven's reality is that God is sovereign and His will is what takes place. Now since we live in this world but we are not a part of this world then we must adhere to our reality. We as children of God must take the reality we understand in which our God is alive and active and His will and power supersede everything else and bring that here to our everyday lives.
In these days and times where the perspective of man is more humanistic than it has been since periods prior, we the free children of God must redraw the focus of the world's population off of ourselves and directed back to the throne.
Scripture tells us of times in which the people forgot or lost sight of God. We have the people's election of King Saul, the occurrences of Malachi the 3rd chapter and the period in which Apostle Paul warns Timothy in 1 Timothy 4. In each of these times you will see the turning of the people's attentions, efforts and thought away from God and unto themselves. I ask you, how can a lost people save themselves?
We cannot afford to lose sight of God in this season, we cannot with the enemy on a rampage, lose sight on our saving grace. In this hour we must "Watch the throne", we must look to God for instruction, correction, revelation, inspiration and most importantly redemption.
Apostle Paul prays in Ephesians 1:18-19 "I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him...." this is the same prayer I speak for those of us that are reading this posting. May our eyes be caused to readjust and help us to understand the hope, power and greatness we find in our Father God and His Christ.
