The Elevated Life

 Ephesians 2:4-6

The heavenly realms is the realm where the believer, the true follower of Jesus Christ is positioned in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ is highly placed, and we (sons of God) are positioned in Him.

Spiritually, sons of God are highly placed.

We are placed far above the principalities, powers, rulers of this world, elemental spirits, challenges, setbacks, evil, and bewitchment found in this world.

Ephesians 1:19-22

What God has done in His sons (believers/born again people) is a work of power!

By the mighty power of God we (sons of God) are spiritually elevated!

This elevation is a result of God's love and grace towards us.

This spiritual positioning of the saints is the outcome of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The elevated life is the life the believer is called to, as a result of Jesus's resurrection from the dead.

Followers of Jesus Christ, sons of God, are not ordinary people. They are sons of God after all.

John 1:12,13

A benefit of being aware of our elevated position is that it enhances our spiritual authority.

John 3:31

Our elevated, resurrected state ensures we overcome all our enemies and adversaries.

Psalm 110:1

Our elevated life ensures we truly live and not die, because we are in Christ.

John 11:25

The elevated life is a resurrected life!

Our elevated state is seen and experienced as a tangible reality when Jesus appears- the rapture/second coming.

We will be caught up with Him, above this world.

1 Thessalonians 4:16,17

Our elevated life means we are above the nonsense Satan is doing in this earth.

1 John 5:19

The elevated life gives us elevated faith which produces victory.

1 John 5:4

Our elevated position in Christ means we are at the right hand side of the Father.

Mark 16:19

The right hand side of God the Father is the side of favor, good will, commendation, power, help, salvation, deliverance, and blessing.

It is the side of the Spirit.

Psalm 48:10

Matthew 25:34

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
