Phil 3:18-21 cont'd

Annika and I were sick

note about interactions having someone up front to see the hands.

I told heather to embrace her mistakes, so she gave me a hug

1.. Persevere, let the haters hate.

18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

Paul started this church and haters gonna hate., the evil and others were trying to get in the way of their success.

when you start to get clean, people will pull you down.

have you ever started something new and the haters came out in bunches?

The phrase ἡμῶν τὸ πολίτευμα ὑπάρχει ‘our citizenship/homeland is’ is translated ‘we have our citizenship’ [NAB]. The present tense indicates that they are now citizens of heaven [ICC]. It stresses the idea of real existence [Bg, EGT, El, MNTC, Pl]; it means that it exists already [GNC, Lt, Mou, WC].

Paul shed tears because he knows that anytime we stand for God, the haters come out in full force. We act out of our true calling and step in faith, the haters are always there.

1. Understand that it means you are doing things right.

2. The bigger the goal you are pursuing, the more haters you will have

3. Use their criticism as a way to evaluate yourself.

4. Use them to learn how to ignore negative influences.

5. Break off Bad Relationships

6. Appreciate your victories.

2. citizenship

Walk in our true identity, that are home is headed to heaven! We are citizen of a different reality, which will be fully realized at the end of time.
