Eastwoodtulsa’s Weblog

The time has come and the team leaves tomorrow for a great week in Mexico.  We want to thank you for the generosity of Eastwood in making this trip possible, you are a blessing!

We are really looking forward to all that  God is going to do in and through our team.  Please be praying for the team and for the missionaries we will be working with this week.  We are hoping to see God’s hand move in amazing ways, so please pray each day.

We will try and update this blog with updates when we can.  See you in about 8 days…

What is Meant By Our Being Citizens of Heaven?

1- We are under heaven’s government.

Jesus is our King and He reigns in our hearts.

Our daily prayer is, ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’

The decrees of the King we are to obey.

2- We share heavenly honors.

We are children of God.

The righteousness of Jesus has been imputed within our spirit.

We have angels as servants.

We have saints for our companions.

We have Christ Jesus for our Brother.

We have God as our “Abba Father”.

We possess the crown of immortality.

Our names are recorded in heaven’s ‘Book of Life’.

3. We have the right of heirs to all the property of heaven.

There is nothing in heaven that does not belong to us; the gates of pearl, the streets of gold, the mansions of Zion, the river of life, the twelve fruits of the trees.

Things present, or things to come, all are ours.

As we look and long for His appearing let our walk and actions be by faith and devotion to Jesus,conforming to His image!

If you are memorizing Revelation 22:12-13 you can “say it” at the welcome center this Sunday.

There is a list of the different translations at the Welcome Center. Tell the person what translation you have been learning and then “say it”. It is good practice and  “puts you on the spot” in a good way.

Remember: Scripture memory is not just for kids…

This morning we boarded the Boomerang Express for a trip downunder to learn what it means to know and walk with Jesus.  Please be praying for our many workers/volunteers as well as the children who will be here all week.  This is an amazing opportunity for our church to impact the lives of children around the community.

We will post updates and pictures during the week.  Please be in prayer for this vital outreach…
