Have you ever heard someone say "They are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good"? That SOUNDS so "spiritual", right? Well, it is NOT! It is not only impossible to be TOO heavenly minded, it is impossible to walk out the Word of God without being MORE heavenly minded! Look at Colossians 3:2:
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
I like the Amplified Bible for this even better!
2 And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
There was a vital reason that Jesus would leave His disciples and go up to the mountains, the hills, or into the wilderness to pray (Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46; Luke 5:16; Luke 6:12). He NEEDED to have intimate fellowship with His Father in order to fulfill His ministry on the earth. You and I NEED to do this even more that Jesus did! There are SO many distractions that the enemy uses to try to get our attention and our affection OFF of the Word and onto some natural, temporal (temporary) thing that produces nothing useful for the Kingdom of God. If we put Joshua 1:8 into practice, we will be thinking MUCH more about heavenly things and will be able to affect earthly things with Heaven's wisdom!
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
Remember ALWAYS that we are here on earth for only one reason: To seek and save that which is lost (Luke 19:10)! Our lives are "living epistles" that tell OUR story. If we are NOT heavenly minded, then our story will NOT affect the lost for Heaven! When we ARE heavenly minded, then we will have the Wisdom of God to operate in every area of our natural lives for success, prosperity, favor, and anointing. Are you ready to kick it up a notch? I hope you are, because HE is not slowing down! The Spirit of God is moving and WE want to be right in the middle of the flow! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Oceans" again, so that YOU can recommit to HIS plans!
Shalom in Him!
