Would you look with me at two openings this morning, 1 Samuel the second chapter, and Hebrews 12.

1st Samuel 2, Hebrews 12.

We're beginning a new series this morning something the Lord

ministered to me some weeks ago and I ministered some on in another state another place

and while it was going on I just knew in my spirit when, and the time is right, we need to get into this in the church family.

And if you're with us at a week of increase, you know, we talked about some things about the glory of God and the manifestation of God's presence, his spirit, his anointing.

And we should be hungry for these things.

And I believe that you and I are living in a great time, in a great day.

Evil seducers will wax worse and worse, and there's

going to be ugly and bad stuff going on in the world, but even though we're in the world,

we're not of it. We are of a different family. Somebody say glory to God.

We're in a different family and we live based on a different system.

And even though I am and many of you are citizens of the United States of America and so

thankful for it and so thankful for this country.

I have another citizenship.

You do too.

Right, everybody that's born again, we are citizens of heaven.

Oh, glory to God.

That supersedes every other citizenship. And God meets all our needs.

According, not to this system and not to this world.

It comes through it, but according to his riches in glory.

So you and I should have a very different life than those who don't know God.
