Ephesians 2:6 – “And He has raised us up WITH Him, AND seated us WITH Him IN Heaven, through Jesus Christ. “

As I was reading, praying, and considering the Word of today, I saw things I knew that were reinforced and things I had missed being unveiled.   The Word of God is amazing, filled with truth like nuggets of gold discovered in the exact moment of need or to arm us for coming battles.

Psalm 23 reminds us that the Lord Is!  The Lord Does!  He is the Living God!   Everything belongs to Him (Psalm 24).  The cry of the Psalmist in Ps. 26:2 – “Prove (test) me, O LORD, and try (fully examine) me; examine my MIND and my HEART.”

Psalm 19:14 – “Let (allow and enable) the words of my mouth AND the meditation of my heart be acceptable (approved) in Thy sight, O LORD, my helper, and my savior.”

The cry of the heart to be pure and pleasing opens heaven.    God wants to bless, guard, guide, and provide for us lavishly.    The pure heart gives Him fertile soil in which to plant His Promises.

Ephesians 1:3 tells us GOD Has, not will, but Has Blessed us with All, not some, but All spiritual blessings In heaven through Jesus.    That is our position.   Our condition, as revealed in Ephesians 2, is that the eyes of understanding are enlightened; we subdue strongholds from that revelation.

Ephesians 6:10-18 speaks of the armor of God for the church.   Verse 11 tells us to put on the whole armor so that (in order) we can stand against, not just withstand.  Withstanding is defensive.  By standing, which is taking the offensive, we overcome!  The devil is not the one with power; we are!

Six times in Psalm 29, we see the phrase “The Voice of the LORD.”   God’s knowledge (heart revelation), surrendered heart, equipping, Word, and Voice empower us to Be who He says we are.  

Ephesians 2:4-8 powerfully reveals our salvation and position (v.6).  “And He has raised us up WITH Him, AND seated us WITH Him IN Heaven, through Jesus Christ.  “

We are, in spirit, seated with the Father in heaven.   We have continual access to the Throne by the Spirit.   We have All God’s blessings in Heaven Already given to us.  We have the power and authority of Jesus.

Therefore, I ask, “Why do we struggle?  Why do we doubt?  Why do we lack?  “  The only answer is we do not “see” the Revelation in our hearts, only with our heads.    If it gets in our hearts, we will be and do what He promised.    So, Why Not Now?    Why Not Decide Today that nothing less is acceptable?

Have a victorious day in Jesus, and live as the Conqueror He declares we are!
