You Are a Citizen of Heaven


You have a new life. You are on assignment here in the earth. Stay focused and be a student of God's Word for your next steps. 
If then you have been raised with Christ (to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead), aim at and seek the (rich, eternal treasures) that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. For (as far as this world is concerned) you have died, and your (new, real), life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in (the splendor of His) glory.
So kill, (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members (those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin): sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying, the exaltation of self and other created things instead of God). Colossians 3:1-5 (Amp.)
That's not the real you. You have a new nature. You are a citizen from Heaven and you are here on assignment - you are called to restore man back to God and your personal lifestyle is the greatest witness. It's not hard; the power that was in Jesus when He was here in the earth is the same power in you.
Keep your partnership with the Holy Spirit and He will usher you continuously in God's divine will and order for your life. 
And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together (giving us joint seating with Him) in the heavenly sphere (by virtue of our being) in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Ephesians 2:6 (Amp.)
