[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that God gives you under the sun, under this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy, continually give God that sacrifice of praise. Praise him and thank him. I just got back. I was at a. Well, it's called an advance, but it's kind of like a Bible camp.
[00:00:31] And it was really a blessing. Really a blessing. And one of the things that I'm going to be studying probably until I really understand it, is the citizenship and being an ambassador. I'm going to go through that because this hit me and it just. It blew my mind. I've read this stuff a thousand times, you know. But I love going to things and learning new things and getting excited about reading new things. So I'm going to go over this, and then we will go from there. If you go to Second Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 17, it says, Therefore, if any man be remaining within the Messiah, there is a new created thing, a new creation. Old things are. The ancient things are passed away. Behold, all things are. They are become freshly new. When you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, and you confess in the name of Jesus Christ, Romans 10, 9, 10, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. You are born a new spiritual creation, and out and of the household of God, you are no longer a servant, but you're a Son, and an appointed Son anyways. So you're a new man. Verse 18. And all things as a whole are of God, or out from the origins of God, who reconnected us to himself by Christ Jesus, and hath given to us the ministry of that reconnection or reconciliation, to wit, that God was in Christ reconnecting or reconciling the world to himself, not counting or imputing their trespasses unto them, and hath placed in us the spoken word of that reconnection.
[00:02:05] So once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, and you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, you have that pneuma. That's what that pneuma hagion is. That's what the Pentecost is.
[00:02:15] So you have that new. You are that new spiritual being. You have that spirit in you. You have that spiritual Connection back with God.
[00:02:23] The Adam lost the minute he transgressed against God. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As though God did beseech you by us. We pray you in Christ dead be ye reconciled or reconnected to God. And this ambassadors is.
[00:02:39] When I heard this, it blew my mind.
[00:02:41] An ambassador is sent somewhere, but still lives under the sovereignty of where they're originally from, like the state. Like, we are, we're. We're in, you know, the United States. We go to. To Italy or whatever, and we're ambassadors in Italy. We are still under the laws and protection of our country.
[00:02:59] We are only here for a moment in this life. Like we're waiting for the. The hope of the. The expectation of future good of Christ coming back.
[00:03:09] But we're, but we're only here for a temporary moment when it says be ye an ambassador.
[00:03:15] We are, we're like here from another country. We are here out from the household of God and we're just passing through, but we are under the spir laws of God.
[00:03:26] And I just. I just love that.
[00:03:29] I love that if any of you have been persecuted, let's say, for being Christian.
[00:03:33] I mean, I went there. I mean, I went through a lot of that kind of stuff because I've always believed that God that, you know, that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, but that I have a God and God is there with me all the time. And spiritually things just happen.
[00:03:46] You know, I feel like that there's a lot of attacks with. Because of that.
[00:03:50] But knowing that we're here but for a moment in this life and that all these things that you read in the Word and that you put on in the Word and that you work and when you work the Word and really start to understand this stuff and you're freed from this stuff, to know that you're just of the household of God here for. But, but for a moment. And when it says being ambassador, it's not saying go out there. And I mean, there are, there are, you know, being evangelists and everything. I always looked at ambassadorship as like going out there and rah, rah, rah for, for your country. But it's more you represent, you represent the household of God.
[00:04:26] And there's so many things that God gives you as a result of believing, like the nine spiritual gifts or manifestations of having the Holy Spirit.
[00:04:36] There's so many things that God gave you in this life to live this life free.
[00:04:41] And we're just here. But for a moment. He gave you the spoken word of the reconnection in your life. And all he asks is that you act like an ambassador. But it's not out there. You know, hoorah, hoorah. Get out. You know, get as many people as possible. It's out there, just showing who you are and representing God's people.
[00:05:01] And like I said, I'm going to go through this, like this citizenship and all this sort of stuff, because I'm really. It just. It just really blessed me. It's like new information to really bless me.
[00:05:10] Anyways, pray the big prayers today. Know that you're reconnected to God. God tells you this. You have the spoken word, the reconnection, which is his word.
[00:05:18] You're also reconnected to God spiritually. You have the reconnection. Go to God. Pray to God. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you always pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:05:46] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this weekend and for getting me home safe and getting my brother home safe and just how much of a blessing it is just to know that you're there. I thank you for Rob and bringing him along and having that support and just how much of a blessing it is knowing that there are people and how you've kind of surrounded me with. With strong. With strong men, strong believers. I just thank you and pray for each and every one of your believers out there that you take care of them and that you can show them how much they're protected.
[00:06:15] Yeah, I'm just very grateful for that. I pray for a great day today, again, for the business, for working the Word, and that you show me kind of where to go with this so I can have a better understanding of this. And I'm just grateful for opening those doors and closing those doors and knowing that you're always there. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
