Heaven On Earth 00:04:18
Yeah, you know, heaven is a real place.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's really there.
And the Lord wants us to be walking in heaven on the earth, right?
That's part of our Lord's prayer, right?
It may be done on earth as it is in heaven.
So we need to find out as much as we can about this beautiful place.
It's in existence today that is the home of God's children, those that are born of the spirit.
This is really our home, right?
And it's truly God's desire that the earth should be a replica of heaven.
Of course, we know because of the fall of man and the consequence of sin and these types of things, we are living in a very difficult environment.
And we've just been discussing that.
However, that's no excuse for the fact that God has given us his word.
And Jesus was our perfect example of the perfect one that came to invade the earth when it was in what we today in our society would consider to be one of the worst times to ever live during Roman times, you know.
And he came and he overcame and he's given us the Holy Spirit.
And so our job now is to replicate that gospel of the kingdom in the earth.
And I just find, you know, that there's so many Christians that aren't even aware of the gospel of the kingdom and aren't aware of what our job is today, which is to be releasing heaven, right?
Releasing the blessings of who we know we are in Christ into the earth, going to meet the needs of those who have a need, right?
We've been given all things.
And so the book kind of shares some very simple ways to put into practice how we can release heaven today.
And all of it is the shift of the mind.
It's really where are we seated?
Okay.
Are we seated right here in earth in front of all these cameras?
Or are we seated in heaven?
Right?
Ephesians chapter 2, verse 6.
Are we seated with Christ in heavenly places right now?
Well, heaven sees us as being seated there, but we're occupying here in the earth.
So we have all the powers of heaven, but we need to learn to make them manifest in the earth realms.
And so it's taking people to those greater places of faith where they can begin to start seeing that all the time.
And not just when things are good, but when things are bad.
We still have the same power.
We don't lose our power when things are bad or things are good.
The power stays the same because Jesus bought that for us.
We need it now more than ever.
We do.
So Candace, my question to you is, what is eternity in action?
Yes.
I want to know that.
Well, when you become born again, you immediately enter into the eternal realms.
So then we become eternity in action in the earth.
See, all of us here that already know Jesus is our Lord and Savior, a studio audience, those of you that are watching, if you've received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you've already entered into eternity.
See, the fact is we will never die.
Now, listen to me.
People talk about death, right?
Okay.
But we always talk about it from a fleshly standpoint.
Okay.
It is true.
The body will go back into the earth.
That's right.
But the spirit and soul go to heaven.
It's like moms.
My mom, who just passed away, you know, over a year ago.
I mean, I'm like, gosh, mom, you're there.
You're in heaven.
You're in heaven.
You know, I mean, you know, I'm talking to her.
I'm like, Lord, tell her, you know, there's a transition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But if we understand that we've already entered the eternal realms, even today, and this conversation is even in eternity today, the Apostle Paul said that he said, our citizenship is in heaven.
That word broken down is our conversation is in heaven.
Okay.
So it's already existing there.
So we've already all passed through.
We'll look at our earthly time from birth until death of the flesh as only our time, but that's not true because none of us are going to die, nor are those that are watching or studio audience.
Forever Brand Possession 00:00:20
If you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you will live forever.
You have a brand new spirit and the Holy Spirit has come to take possession of your spirit.
