Worthy Brief - 11/18/2025

Friend, ambassadors of the Kingdom: reprenting heaven on earth!

2 Corinthians 5:17-20  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18  Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19  that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. 

Every believer carries a divine assignment — an identity rooted not in earthly citizenship, but in heavenly representation. When you came to faith in Yeshua (Jesus), you were not only redeemed and restored; you were commissioned. Heaven did not merely save you from something — it saved you for something. Paul declares, “Now then, we are ambassadors for Messiah, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Messiah’s behalf, be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

An ambassador is more than a messenger — they are the authorized representative of a kingdom. They carry the voice, the will, and the authority of the one who sent them. They do not speak their own opinions; they speak on behalf of the throne they represent. They do not operate from the culture around them, but from the laws and values of the nation they belong to.

You are heaven’s ambassador — not someday, but now. You carry the message of reconciliation, but also the authority, character, and presence of the King Himself. The very Spirit of God dwells within you so that when you speak, heaven speaks; when you act, heaven moves; and wherever you walk, the Kingdom advances.

Yeshua said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). This means that the same mission, the same heart, and the same Spirit that empowered Him now empowers you. He came to reveal the Father — and now you carry that same calling: To reveal the Father’s heart to a world that has forgotten Him.

As ambassadors, your life becomes a bridge — connecting earth to heaven, brokenness to wholeness, darkness to light. You carry a ministry the world desperately needs: the ministry of reconciliation — the divine invitation calling humanity back to the God who created them.

But this identity carries authority as well as compassion. An ambassador walks in security, knowing all of heaven stands behind their mission. You do not move through life as a powerless wanderer but as one backed by the full weight of the Kingdom of God. When you speak forgiveness, chains break. When you declare freedom, captives rise. When you proclaim the gospel, heaven breathes on your words.

This is why Messiah said, “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). You are not trying to bring heaven down; heaven is already inside you — flowing out into the world through your life, your voice, your compassion, your authority.

Kingdom ambassadors do not blend into the culture around them — they transform it. The world’s values do not shape them but carry and reveal the values of Heaven. Politics, society, or circumstance do not define your identity — it is defined by the Kingdom that sent you and the King whose authority you carry.

Wherever God places your feet, that place becomes embassy ground — holy territory where heaven’s will is meant to break in. You are not merely a believer; you are heaven’s representative, stationed in a foreign land with a divine mandate to manifest the Kingdom.

Friend, step into this identity with boldness and humility. You carry the heartbeat of heaven — the message that God is reconciling the world to Himself through His Son. Speak as one sent. Walk as one commissioned. Love as one empowered by the King. You are not just surviving this world — you are representing another one. You are not just living for God — you are living from God, sent out by His authority. You are heaven’s ambassador — chosen, empowered, and entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. Go forth in the authority of your King, and let the world encounter heaven through you.

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George & Baht Rivka (Arad, Israel)
