We have already been moved out of one realm into the other.<\/p>\n<p>The word translated <strong>conveyed <\/strong>means that we have been deported or transferred from one place to another. It was primarily used to describe moving a captured army or group of people to another location.<\/p>\n<p>It staggers the mind, doesn\u02bct it? Here we are, living our lives on this earth, with our families, our careers, our homes, our lives. Yet, the Scriptures declare that we <em>already have been <\/em>conveyed into the Kingdom! How can this be?<\/p>\n<p>Accepting this verse by faith has given me the courage to tell Satan to get away from me. God has declared that I have been delivered from any sort of power that darkness could hold over me, and I have been moved, transferred, and deported into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Satan may own the earth (for a short time, anyway), but he doesn\u02bct own me. My King and My God owns me. I live under His authority and rule. He is my protector and provider, my advocate, and the lover of my soul.<\/p>\n<p>Meditate for a few minutes on what it means to be delivered from the enemy and conveyed into the kingdom of God in your own life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Lord, You have moved us away from enemy territory into Your own kingdom. It is a place of protection and deliverance, for You are a strong and loving God, able to keep Your own children safe. Show us how this changes everything for us.
