For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: - Mat 6:14

Be merciful to obtain Mercy .

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? - Mat 6:26

Yes, God loves us more than the Animals .

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. - Mat 6:32

But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. - Mat 15:13

Jesus follows up the offense with a prophecy against them. The Religious leaders thought they could define acceptance by God . Jesus tells them that God sets the plant that will stand. All others will be uprooted. This speaks to the fact that the NewBirth is a must. It is how God plants us.

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. - Mat 18:35

God is Just and expects us to be so. He is Merciful and expects us to be so.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, - Luk 2:13

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? - Luk 11:13

God is so much more loving and giving than the best of parents. He will give the HolySpirit to anyone who asks Him.

The reality is that many Believers do not want to manifest as SonsOfGod . They are content to just miss Hell and enter Heaven when they Die .

But without the Baptism of the HolySpirit Believers are ineffective as witnessed by the decline of the Church and the Secularization of Society .

Jesus commanded the Disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they received the Power of the HolySpirit . Only then were they to go forth preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom .

If the Disciples who walked with Jesus needed SpiritBaptism, on what basis do Believers think that they do not?

If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? - Joh 3:12

Understanding SpiritSoulAndBody is the basis for Understanding all Spiritual and Physical matters.

Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: - Act 26:19

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. - 1Co 15:48

We will be equipped to function in Heaven just as we have been equipped to function on Earth .

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. - 1Co 15:49

We will look differently because we will look Heavenly .

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: - Eph 1:3

When we realize the extent of God's Blessings upon us we cannot help but Worship God .

God has blessed us with Spiritual Blessings which contain all Physical Blessings and much more.

These Blessings are in Heaven, in the SpiritRealm, on the table that Christ has spread for us.

Faith in Christ's Provision enables us to take from that table the Blessing that we need for the hour.

Grace Provides, Faith Appropriates .

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, - Eph 1:20

So the Power of God was transferred to Christ who has transferred it to us through the indwelling HolySpirit .

And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: - Eph 2:6

The NewSpirit that we are InChrist ( Joh 3:5 2Co 5:17 ) is sitting in Heaven in Christ in the Father . We are now One with Him in the SpiritRealm ( Joh 3:6 ).

But to a large extent this new status is just Potential as far as the PhysicalRealm is concerned.

The challenge for each Believer is to enable the NewSpirit being to manifest in our Thoughts, Speech and Deeds .

This requires an act of our will for our Minds to be Transformed to the MindOfChrist ( Phi 2:5 ).

To the extent that we allow the Word and HolySpirit to Renew our Minds is the extent to which we manifest as SonsOfGod ( 1Jn 3:2 ) operating in the Fruit and Gifts of the HolySpirit and so experiencing AbundantLife ( Joh 10:10 ).

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, - Eph 3:10

God wants us to experience His Heavenly Wisdom - that which operates in Heaven among all those who live there.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen . - 2Ti 4:18

Trust in the Lord with all your Heart as Paul did.

Wherefore, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; - Heb 3:1

We ought always to be mindful of our Lord who is the head of the Body as well as the offering and the offerer of the Sacrifice whereby we are Reconciled .

While the things that Jesus did are often emphasized with some consideration given to what He said, there is not so much attention to what Christ had in mind after we were Redeemed by His Blood and BornAgain of His Spirit . Without understanding Christ's expectation for us we are not able to understand what He said and did and why He said and did it.

Simply put, Christ Jesus is the FirstFruit of many SonsOfGod . His expectation for us is that we be like Him. 1Jn 3:2

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, - Heb 6:4

A True Believer is who Paul is talking about.

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount. - Heb 8:5

The Levitical priesthood was to teach us the rigor of God's requirement for Sin to be Forgiven . It was a teacher and nothing more.

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. - Heb 9:23

The patterns were purified by pattern sacrifices - animals. But the True Heavenly things were purified by Him that came from Heaven and returned to Heaven .

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. - Heb 11:16

Where your Treasure is there your Heart is also.

But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, - Heb 12:22

We have been Redeemed, BornAgain and made to sit with Christ in Heavenly Places .
