SEATED IN HIGH PLACES

“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:6 (KJV)
Main Text:

God not only gave Jesus a Name that is above every name, but at the Name of Jesus, every being in all three worlds—Heaven, earth, and hell—must bow and confess Jesus’ lordship and dominion. God also seated Jesus in the highest position in the universe, at His Own right hand, and made Him head over all things (Eph. 1:19–22).

We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Joint-seating with Christ is “far above” all principalities and powers of darkness. Evil spirits can’t influence believers who are seated with Christ in heavenly places! Our seating and reigning with Christ is a position of authority, honor, and triumph—not failure, depression, and defeat, because we are believers, our seating with Christ is part of our inheritance now. This is where we are already seated, because when Jesus was seated in triumph, we were seated with Him.

Because we as believers are in Christ, when Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father, we sat down with Him far above principalities and powers. The Church, the Body of Christ, is in Christ. The body is connected to the head. Jesus is the Head of His Body—the Church. If Jesus—the Head—triumphed over the devil, is the Body of Christ to be any less triumphant since we are in Christ? Of course not! It is our legal right to enjoy joint-seating with Christ in heavenly places—in a position of authority and triumph far above all principalities and powers. If we will take advantage of our joint-seating with Christ, we will begin to triumph in life!

Confession: I am seated with Christ in high places, I walk in dominion, I am not subject to sicknesses, diseases and sin, I enjoy liberty in Christ! I am free, I am far above the devil, in Jesus name. Amen.
