Heaven Awaits
Part 8: On Earth As It Is in Heaven

Put on your spiritual reading glasses and see all of the blessings God has already given you. Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that we don’t need more power, faith, or strength; we need clarity of vision to recognize all that we possess in Christ.

Key Themes Examined:

  • The necessity of spiritual insight to recognize our blessings in Christ.
  • Understanding that the Kingdom of Heaven is already within believers.
  • The paradox of the Kingdom: it is both now and not yet.
  • The transformative power of comprehending our spiritual position in Christ.
  • How trusting in God's will leads to peace and obedience.
  • The impact of living with a heavenly perspective on our earthly lives.

Key Points Expanded:

  1. The Need for Spiritual Insight: The sermon emphasizes that believers already have all the spiritual blessings they need, as stated in Ephesians 1. The real challenge is not about asking for more but about having the "eyes of our hearts enlightened" to see what we already possess. This insight is described as putting on "spiritual reading glasses" to view life through the lens of God’s truth rather than our limited perception.
  2. The Kingdom of Heaven Within Us: A central theme is that the Kingdom of Heaven is not just a future promise but a present reality within believers, as Jesus taught in Luke 17:20-21. The Kingdom of God cannot be observed outwardly but is a reign that begins in the hearts of believers. This understanding transforms how we live, as we are called to walk in the power and presence of God daily.
  3. Living with a Heavenly Perspective: The sermon urges believers to comprehend their position in the heavenly realm with Christ. This perspective radically changes how we handle life's challenges, seeing ourselves as seated with Christ above all earthly circumstances. When we understand where God sees us—already in His heavenly realm—it inspires us to live differently, with greater faith, joy, and obedience.
