START EACH DAY IN THE THIRD HEAVEN
When we receive Christ, we become indwelt with the Holy Spirit and can experience three heavens. When we repent of our sins and get into the Word of God and prayer each morning, we can commune with our Lord in the third heaven, where God resides on His throne, with Jesus Christ on His right side.
Our Lord teaches, convicts, and loves us, then sends us to reach the souls who are headed for the Lake of Fire.
Then we can enter the second heaven – the realm of angels, demons, and spiritual warfare, where we can:
• Ask our Lord to bind the demonic forces harassing us and our loved ones,
• Plead the blood of Jesus over our family and friends,
• Ask our Lord to touch their lives of particular individuals, our leaders, and the lost.
Now we go out into the world (the first heaven) to carry out the Great Commission.
If we don’t spend time with our Lord in the third heaven, we won’t have anything supernatural to share with others. If we don’t do spiritual battle in the second heaven, we will be in enemy territory without armor, vulnerable to spiritual attacks.
And if we don’t know God’s calling on our life, we will live in the first heaven, missing out on the joy and salvation of the Lord.
So let us go forth with the truth and love of Christ and witness to all whom the Lord brings across our path, for time is short, eternity is a very long time, and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
