For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

Most Relevant Verses Colossians One who desires to know God and to be like our holy God will seek the things that are above — Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Our thoughts will be occupied with a desire to know God and heaven — our future home. We will want to see Him face to face, have an eternal relationship with Him, and to please Him with our lives. Think of. Stepping on shore, and finding it Heaven! Of breathing a new air, and finding it celestial air.
Of feeling invigorated, and finding it immortality. Of passing from storm to tempest to an unknown calm. Of waking up, and finding it Home. Think on the things above, where Christ is! Jeremiah Also, we need to realize the very great degree that we, His people, can limit Him, have limited Him, and are still limiting Him from doing what He intends to do. Rather, during this dispensation, God is seeking for a response from His people, a cooperation, and a coordination from their side.
Right now, the ascended Christ is very active in various aspects of His heavenly ministry. Christ in His heavenly ministry is very active and busy, and we as His Body on earth need to cooperate with Him by setting our mind on the things above. In our physical body, once everything is normal, all the members of the body respond to the commands given by the person living in the body; but if things are not normal, the person living in the body lives as in a prison.
Christ has been waiting for centuries to see an adequate response to His heavenly ministry. He wants to gain a kingdom, a realm in which He can do whatever He wills without any hindrance. For this to happen, we need to see who and what Christ is in His heavenly ministry, what He wants to accomplish on the earth as this age is coming to a close, and how we ourselves in our Christian life and church life have been a limitation to Him in what He wants to do.
May the Lord enlighten us and cause us to open as never before, giving the Lord the right of access to our whole being, that we would welcome His dealing and touching on any element in our being that is hindering Him from carrying out the desire of His heart.
The Lord is looking for and even praying for a complete openness from our side, a full cooperation from our will. He wants to advance by working in us so that we who limit Him and who are a limitation to Him, we would by His grace become those who release Him, enable Him, and give Him the way to move wherever He wants to move on earth, and to do whatever He wills to accomplish all that is on His heart.
Lord Jesus, shine on us to see what You desire to do and how much we limit You from doing what You want to do. Lord, if we have any concepts, feelings, inclinations, and self-confidence, ambition, a lack of sense of measure of our portion in functioning in the Body, for the sake of Your move to build up the Body, prepare the Bride, and bring in the kingdom, we present ourselves to You!
