As you navigate the world around you, filled with the echoes of past renaissances—both intellectual and spiritual—remember that true transformation begins with seeking the Kingdom of God. In a time when so much is changing and competing for your attention, it's easy to become fixated on the temporary things of this world. Yet, as Jesus taught, the greatest thing you can pursue is His Kingdom and His righteousness. Everything else, all your needs and desires, will follow when you focus on that heavenly pursuit.
In the same way that the Renaissance marked a cultural rebirth that reshaped Europe, God is offering a spiritual rebirthfor you, one that is far more significant and enduring. Through the resurrection of Christ, the pathway to God’s heavenly Kingdom was made open, inviting you to experience a transformation that goes far beyond worldly success. Christ’s death on the cross made it possible for you to receive heavenly power—through the Holy Spirit—to shape your life in accordance with God’s will.
To receive this, you must be open to the heavenly influence that can change you from the inside out. You can begin by hearing the Word of God, preached with power and revelation. Let that message open your heart to what God desires for your life, preparing you for the world that is yet to come. But this is not just about hearing—it’s about receiving the influence of heaven into your life, whether through the laying on of hands, confession, or baptism. These practices are channels through which the Holy Spirit can work in your life, empowering you to align with God's will.
As you seek the Kingdom of God above all else, know that everything you truly need—peace, purpose, guidance, provision—will follow. Do not worry about the things of this world, for God, who knows your every need, will provide them to you. Seek first the Kingdom and trust that God, who raised Christ from the dead, will provide for you in ways that far exceed anything this world can offer.
