Shalom,

It's been quite awhile since I lasted posted a study here. I have been seeking the Lord on how to continue. We have so many things that have been covered on this blog that are vital Truths and my concern is that those will be lost to blog archives if I continue to post new ones. I would like to invite everyone to go back and refresh your understanding of the previous posts and I would suggest new viewers to START there! But for today, with the elections so fresh on everyone's mind, I would like to look at this verse of Scripture:

Phil 3:20 AMP
20 But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await [the coming of] the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] Savior,

Those of us who are believers in Jesus (who have received Jesus of Nazareth as Lord and personal Saviour) have a citizenship that supersedes our citizenship of any earthly nation. We are citizens, first and foremost, of Heaven. We have been assigned on this earth as Ambassadors:

2 Cor 5:20 AMP
20 So we are Christ's ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ's personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

Our #1 priority as believers is to share the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those He brings across our paths or those He sends us to! When we are where God wants us to be, doing what God wants us to do, then we qualify to have God's promises of protection, provision, safety, blessing, anointing, equipping, joy, peace, prosperity, abundance, health, healing, wholeness, wellness, fitness and favor manifest in our lives! Now we will have to find out in the Word of God just what these promises are so that we can look for and expect them based on the Word. They are provided, potentially, for all believers:

Eph 1:3 KJV
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

And we also see this promise concerning the Word of God:

2 Tim 3:16-17 AMP
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action),
17 So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

So don't be discouraged by ANYTHING that happens in this world! Let the Word of God completely change your thinking to understand God's perspective and to eagerly anticipate, and participate in, this last, great move of the Spirit of God before Jesus comes for His church! (That's us!!!)

Shalom in Him!
