An exile is a person without a home, a forceful exit to a place far from home, a person who still can remember and feel the word of home. We must never mistake the glimpse of home as home itself. It is only the image of what was lost or what we hope to gain. Over time the exile may abandon the idea of ever going home so they grow comfortable in the land they now occupy. They move from exile to citizen.

In Ezra 9, Ezra discovered that the majority of the Jews in exile had not repented but had adopted the ways of the pagan culture. They took wives who cared less for Yahweh and by marriage, they became open to committing the abominations of paganism.

Only a remnant kept the idea of home in the forefront and the words of hope in returning as a beacon of light.

We must never grow so comfortable to lose where we are meant to be. If we do we may forever find ourselves exiles of Heaven.

Roughsoul1991…. We are seated with Christ in Heavenly places, even now… NEVER are we exiles of heaven.

We live and breathe under our Father God’s Most High Power and Authority - He rules over us - whatever He thinks says and does concerning us will be done and it is always for our good.

We live and breathe under our Father God’s Most High Provision for us. He sustains us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically… we lack no good thing. Trials and tribulations are for our good.

We live and breathe under our Father God’s Most High Salvation for us with His Lamb Jesus Christ that He sacrificed for us… God desires to save us, not harm or kill us with His Wrath.

We live and breathe under our Father God’s Most High Deliverance for us from Death, Hell and the Grave. We do not fear death, hell or the grave because God will deliver us from them and all our enemies.

BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE, we currently are NOT and shall NEVER be exiles of heaven.

You are loved! Abide in His Love for you…:love:(y)

Who is the we though? A Christian? An unbeliever? An apostate? A Christian of course is a citizen of Heaven so they are exiles among the Earth. But to those who set up home in the land of paganism, they will find themselves exiled eternally from Heaven.

A true born again believer is NOT an “exile” of heaven while they are on the Earth.

A true born again believer IS (not will be) seated with Christ in heavenly places. We have access to our Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ and have been given the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

We are NOT exiled from heaven just because we currently dwell in a physical body on the Earth… We are MORE than a physical body… our spirit and soul commune with God in the Heavenly Realm… AND commune with other believers and people on the Earth.

We need to NEVER think, feel or believe we are exiled from Heaven while on the Earth.

Possibly something was misunderstood. Would you point out where I said a Christian is an exile of Heaven?

I believe I only mentioned those who are not in Christ or those who apostate the faith.
