SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACES
As
the body of Christ we are seated with Christ in heavenly places, and if
every Christian had a revelation of who we are in Him we would begin
walking in unimaginable favor. We don’t realize that we are behaving
below our nature and short of our potential. When we realize what Jesus
has entrusted to us, we will begin to walk in authority and
demonstration of the kingdom of God on this earth. Jesus had
commissioned us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
and cast out demons.
In
the book of Genesis God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according
to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over
the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." In the book of Luke,
Jesus said: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any
means hurt you.
Too
many believers are being misled and don't understand the authority that
was given to them. When Jesus walked the earth, everywhere that He went
people recognized His authority. Religious leaders were astonished by
His teaching. He healed every kind of sickness and disease, leprosy was
cleansed and even the dead were raised. Demons would scream out
confessing that He was the son of God. We have been created in Gods
image and called according to His divine purpose and plan.
Jesus
has given us the same authority that He had when He walked the earth.
It was prophesied in the book of Acts "But you shall receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
We are supernatural beings living in natural bodies and the Lord wants
to reveal His power in us and through us in a mighty way. He has given
us His name. He said: “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on
earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be
loosed in heaven. The reason why some of you have been experiencing intense warfare is because you are a threat to the enemy.
The
Lord says, I have given you authority in My name and dominion over all
the power of the enemy and nothing by any means shall harm you. Just as
Paul shook off the venomous viper that tried to take his life, I have
also given you the authority to shake off that viper which comes against
you to steal, kill and destroy. The enemies attack will not destroy
you. His venom will not kill you. The curse causeless shall not come as
you speak in My name. The authority that I have given to you can not be
understood with your natural mind or received with your intellect, but
it is released from the Holy Spirit that abides in you.Take authority
over everything that is coming against your life. Take authority over
everything that is attacking your families and ministries. Take
authority over everything that is coming against your destiny. Take
authority over unrighteousness in your cities, states and nations.
I
have placed a rod in your hand and a sword in your mouth which is My
word. I have given you dominion and power over every situation that you
encounter. You have the authority to decree and declare a thing and it
shall be established for you. As you speak My word, situations in your
life will begin to shift. As you use My authority and speak My name,
mountains will move. I have given you authority over all sickness and
disease. As you lay hands on the sick, they shall recover. Whatsoever
you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. Whatsoever you loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven. I have given you the power to overcome
every obstacle that comes against you and to tear down strongholds using
the mighty weapons that I have provided for you. As you use the
authority, dominion and power that I have released to you in my name,
you will begin to rule and reign on this earth and My glory will prevail
in your life says the Lord.
Matthew 16:17-19
And
these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast
out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up
serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt
them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." "And I
will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind
on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will
be loosed in heaven"
Luke 10:19.
Behold,
I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you"
Ephesians 2:6-7
He raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
