YOU ARE FAR ABOVE
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”
Ephesians 2:6 (KJV)
The new man in Christ is not a fallen man. The new man in Christ is risen with Christ.
The consequence of sin is death.
“but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:17 (NKJV)
Again, we see this affirmed in Romans 6:23:
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (KJV)
Jesus’ death was a payment of the penalty of sin. And this is the twofold reality of the death of Jesus:
– Jesus DIED FOR all men (Substitutionary sacrifice). Jesus didn’t only die for those who believed in Him. He died for both those who reject Him and those who receive Him.
– Jesus DIED WITH all those who received Him (Identification). The thing is, until you receive Christ, you don’t share in the benefits of His death, even though He died for you. When you receive Jesus, you become a participant in the reality of His death, burial and resurrection.
The climax of Jesus’ death and resurrection was in His exaltation. Jesus, who is God, became flesh and humbled Himself even unto the death of shame. By this demonstration of obedience, He multiplied His authority and greatness in resurrection and ascension. (Philippians 2:6-10).
To be seated with Christ simply means to be alive with Christ and to share in His authority.
The believer is seated in Christ through faith. This faith is dependent on all that Christ achieved through His work and resurrection.
Through Christ’s work, the believer is legally qualified to share in the authority of Jesus.
The believer in Christ has come into union with Christ. All believers or saints in Christ are members of His body of His flesh and His bones. (Ephesians 5:30)
As members of His body, we also exude His authority. Jesus is seated far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and eternally [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred]. Since we are seated with Christ, we share with Him in this greatness of authority, for Christ demonstrates His rule through His Church (Ephesians 1:19-23).
You are seated with Christ, refuse to be intimidated by any dominion or rule which is under the feet of Christ. As members of His body, anything under His feet is under our feet.
Walk in this consciousness of authority.
Hallelujah!
Psalm 33-35

Deuteronomy 17
DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– I am seated in glory.
I have the mind of Christ because I am far above all.
Thank you Lord Jesus
