Set your sights on the realities of heaven!

First and foremost here is a scripture to meditate on and I mean meditate on Colossians 3:1 (NLV) Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God's right hand, in the place of honor and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth. For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. here is the amplified version: Colossians 3 (Amplified Bible) Colossians 3 1IF 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.(A) And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. Okay so....other versions say seek after the realities of heaven...the word seek in the greek means :To seek in order to find a(to seek a thing), b(to seek {in order to find out} by thinking, meditating, reasoning, to inquire into, c(to seek after, seek for, aim at, strive after) 2. to seek, to require, to demand, a(to crave, to demain something from someone) we are to crave..to require to demand these realities of heaven.... I am to crave these rich eternal treasures from heaven...to crave means to have a craving, appetite, or great desire for, to plead or ask earnestly for, it means wanting intensely, to want strongly, an intense desire for a particular thing, to long for, to yearn, to want strongly as to satisfy an appetite....we are to crave these eternal treasures...the word treasure means something of high value by its owner....a prize, a collection of precious things, gems, diamonds, jewels...those are things we can attain in the spirit..hence the reference to rubies in the book of Proverbs...God refers to wisdom as being better than rubies...His eternal treasures are of great worth...and it also means to be fond of and care for, to be attached to..Jesus is our eternal treasure...we want to crave these heavenly things that we can care for and hold dear to us...these rich eternal treasures...i eternally treasure Jesus...whoa! in the verse which reads do not think only about things down here on earth...the word not in do not think, means to deny thought of...and the verse which says let heaven fill your thoughts means to think oftener of... our old life died and we have this new life, this new nature which Christ created..Col 3:10 In its place you have clothed yourselves with a brand new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you. We should be seeking after, demanding even from God. these realities of heaven to fill our mind. We are supposed to be denying even the thought of earthly things...pushing them aside and not thinking of them at all! Can you imagine a life where we do not even think of earthly things! Not thinking about the outcomes of things on earth, where we will work, these things are not supposed to be taking up our brain space...instead the realities of heaven should be taking up our brain space!!!!!!!!! and that is something we can do by choice...thinking often of heaven!!!!!!!!! my God...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are supposed to be spending our brain space wanting the higher things of eternal rich value in heaven, not seeking after earthly things..but earnestly desiring these higher things in Christ, in heaven, does not say.,.,where your heart is , there your treasure will also be? my heart is not to be spent wanting after earthly things but after heavenly things..i want to desire those heavenly things. my question is what are the realities of heaven!! Those are the things i demand to know from God!!!!! God is in heaven, let heaven fill your thoughts..therefore...let Gods presence fill your thoughts!!! The inebriation of His divine nature filling my thoughts! If i am stuck on Him...my God..that means I am seeking after Him and His rightousness which is Jesus Christ..all those other things will be added to me...Seek first His kingdom and His rightousness...His kingdom is rightousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost...This is like living in a completely nuther element! Heaven is a reality...i want to know about heaven that is my desire and that is what i aim for..Hallelujah! Our thinking belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ, not to me not satan but to Jesus...we have now tapped into the mainline to our living God, our living creator...Jesus sits at the right hand of God in honor and power...the realities of heaven are seeing angels..having visions and visits with the Lord ...hearing His voice..receiving revelation about your future and the future through heavenly dreams and visions..seeing into the spirit...having God pour His spirit of prophesy over you...the realities of heaven are no sickness...letting God anoint your hands to lay them on the sick and have and see them being healed...being able to speak words of life and encouragement into the lives of those around you who are hurting...being able to prophesy to them what God wants them to know so that they will know God is speaking to them and have their hearts changed towards Him...it means going to heaven and seeing your home in heaven...seeing the saints and the angels around His throne...being open to the spirit ....its all yours!!!!
