Ephesians 2:6 says \u2018And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus\u2019. We are seated with Christ in Heavenly places. What does that mean? It means that our spirit is seated with Christ, because we are in Him. Yes, we are in the world but our spirit is in Christ. We as children of God have access to see and hear what God is saying from the Heavenly realm, because we are seated with Christ. Ephesians 1:19-21 \u2018I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God\u2019s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God\u2019s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else\u2014not only in this world but also in the world to come.\u2019 (NLT)
\nIt is important to grasp this truth, that we as Christians can see and hear what God is saying. We have the ability in Christ, to see from God\u2019s perspective and join with Christ in intercession declaring what is on God\u2019s heart over situations. Being seated with Christ in Heavenly places means we can see above all situations and even regions and nations from God\u2019s perspective. We are called to fix our eyes upon Jesus in all situations.
\n2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says \u2018For our present troubles are small and won\u2019t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don\u2019t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.\u2019 In every situation we can see things either from a natural perspective or we can choose to see it from God\u2019s perspective. May we learn to see from God\u2019s point of view and proclaim His perspective over our situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
