What does God say about you in heaven?

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Colossians 3:2

On New Year’s Eve I taught about how we, as believers, need to change the way we think.  We asked, “What does God say about you in heaven?  What is our true heavenly identity in Christ?”  I shared a list from Graham Cooke on our standing in Jesus.  As you read this list let it shape your ALL IN thinking in 2014.
