Ephesians 2:4-6 – “ But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even though we were dead in offenses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you are saved!— ⁶ and he raised us up together with him and seated us together with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus…”

As I read, prayed, and mused on the Word today, Paul’s letter to the Ephesians was my focus. Those six short chapters contain more revelation and spiritual food than three lifetimes could unpack. They are rich with spiritual insights that enable us to move into the kingdom realm and become who God says we are.

Ephesians 2:6 – we are co-seated with Jesus in the heavenly realm.  That is not figurative nor theoretical but actual.  In the spirit, we have access to the throne and power of God through Christ.  Most do not truly believe that because most think it is something too elusive or exclusive for them.  Self-condemnation prevails over Christ’s provision.  

Ephesians 2:22 tells us we are being transformed into God’s dwelling place.   What part of His power or person is omitted if God abides in us?  Nothing!  Therefore, we have access to God’s supernatural. 

Ephesians 3:20 informs us of God’s promise to give us more than we can think, dream, or imagine.

Ephesians 4:2 tells us that obedience is one of the keys to His extravagant grace.  Our attitude and conduct are to be exemplified by tender humility and quiet patience.  Wow!  Patience?  But Lord, I want it immediately.   Don’t make me wait, ever!  We must consistently demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially those who try our patience.  

Ephesians 4:29, 31- 32 instructs us on thoughts that become words and shape attitudes.   Never let ugly or hateful words come out of our mouths (that means they can’t be in our hearts).  We are to reject bitterness, fits of rage, desire for revenge, profanity, and insults or put-downs.  We are to exhibit kindness, forgiveness, and love.

Ephesians 5:5b is interesting – “…greed is the essence of idolatry.”

Ephesians 5:15-20 should be memorized, meditated upon, and practiced daily.  Fill our hearts, minds, and mouths with praise and Thanksgiving.

Ephesians 6:10-20 gives us an understanding of the armor’s use and purpose.  In Ephesians, we understand who we are, what is provided, and a pathway to God’s peace, purpose, person, and power. 

Why not believe it is for us Now?  Why not incorporate it into our lives today?  Why not be the victorious overcoming member of Christ’s body that He has made provision for.  It is who we are in Him.  It is not how worthy we are but how gracious and loving He is.   He says we are, and for us to live any other way is to question His truthfulness.   He does not lie!

Let’s enforce His victory on this earth from our position of being co-seated with Jesus in the heavenly realm!   Have a Great Day. It is your day to enjoy the fullness of His Victory!
