Empowered by the Resurrection
As believers, we are often unaware of the incredible power that lies within us. The Bible reminds us that we are identified with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and that we live in the risen and ascended Christ every day (Ephesians 1:18-20). This truth has the potential to revolutionize our lives, but it requires us to shift our perspective and understand our true position in Christ.
Seated with Christ in Heavenly Realms
God has raised us up with Jesus, and we are now seated with Him at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 2:6). This means that we are established in His authority, and we live in His power and dominion over spiritual forces of darkness. We are no longer limited by our own strength, but we can reign in life through Christ.
Living from Our Spirit
The Spirit of Christ Jesus is present within us every day, empowering us to live from our spirit, rather than being controlled by our soul or body. As covenant children of God Most High, we have the privilege of coming into agreement with Him in every area of our lives. We are intended to live in honor and authority in Jesus’ name, representing our King everywhere we go.
Embracing Our Kingdom Purpose
As we understand our true identity in Christ, we can begin to live out our kingdom purpose. We are not just ordinary people trying to make a difference; we are ambassadors of the King, commissioned to bring hope and healing to a broken world. May we be blessed to understand our true position in Christ, and may we live out our lives in the power and authority of the risen and ascended Jesus.
