Beloved,

As I was out for my walk this morning — running, walking, and talking to the Lord — I saw a glimpse of a city with many people walking around, as if I were in the midst of them.

I believe that even though we are here on earth, our real citizenship is in heaven, and it means something.
— Acts 22:22

And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!”

Then, as they cried out and tore off their clothes and threw dust into the air, the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks and said that he should be examined under scourging, so that he might know why they shouted so against him.

And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?”

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, “Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman.” Then the commander came and said to him,

“Tell me, are you a Roman?”

He said, “Yes.”

The commander answered, “With a large sum I obtained this citizenship.”

And Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.”

We are Re-born Citizens

By faith we are already placed in the Holy city if we continue with the Lord daily.

Paul also confirms this in the following passage:

Phil 3:20

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

A Glorious Body

Beloved, enter into the Spirit and let Him open your spiritual eyes so that you may be encouraged. We have the Holy and divine one with us – so do not fear. We are protected
by the Lord.

Dwell on this: We will not remain in this old body forever, but will receive a glorified new body and a spiritual city as a dwelling place.

Have a blessed day in victory, since the Victor lives in us.

Bless the Lord and praise His Holy name always.

[But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
