TOPIC: OUR LEGAL POSITION
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6).
Many Christians know that the Lord Jesus is seated at the right hand of God but haven’t fully understood what that means for them. The Bible says God raised Christ from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1:20).
The Word tells us exactly where that place is: โFar above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is namedโฆโ (Ephesians 1:21). That’s the place of absolute authority. And the remarkable truth is that God raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Your place isn’t merely near Christ; it’s in Him. That’s your legal position.
Think of the President of the United States. He may be at home with his family, or travelling in a motorcade, or walking through a public space, but his legal office doesn’t change because of his physical location. Whatever he says or authorises carries the full authority of the office he occupies. His location may vary, but his position remains the same.
That’s exactly what God wants you to understand about yourself. Though you live on earth and carry out your daily responsibilities here, your legal office is with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above every principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named. This is where God has positioned you.
Therefore, when you speak in the Name of Jesus, you speak from that place of authority. When you exercise dominion over circumstances, sickness, or the forces of darkness, you’re acting from your legal position in Christ.
Many around you may see you as an ordinary person, just as someone might casually meet a president without recognising who he is. But your effectiveness isn’t determined by what others know about you; it’s determined by what you know about yourself. Live with the consciousness of your heavenly position. Know who you are and from where you function. You’re seated together with Christ, far above every power of darkness, and that’s the basis of your authority and victory in life.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for raising me up together with Christ and seating me with Him in the heavenly realms, far above every principality, power, might, and dominion. Today, I live with the consciousness of my exalted position in Christ and exercise authority from that place of victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
