Shalom, 

Romans 5:8 tells us this:

8 But God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. KJV
Ephesians 2:4-6 says the same thing, but elaborates on this TRUTH!
But God—so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation). And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

In order to be born again, we had to believe that we WERE sinners and that we needed a Savior. We also had to believe that JESUS is that Savior, and that He died for us, AND that He lives again! You KNOW that you believe this, because God's Word says so! Now, we need to apply the same principle in believing verse 6! God's Word, which IS Truth (John 17:17) tells us that a part of the Salvation that JESUS provided for us through His death, burial and resurrection INCLUDES being elevated, as new creations, to the status of being a joint, equal heir to all that JESUS Himself is Heir to! HALLELUJAH! The plans and purposes of God were written in His Word, His WILL! The will has been read and WE are found HEIRS! We do not have to go to some special place in order to have our prayers heard and answered! Since we are seated IN Him, in Heavenly places, we now have direct access to the throne of God by the Blood of JESUS! And what is even more profound and exciting is the TRUTH that the Spirit of Almighty God now lives IN us! Get into HIS presence DAILY! Share your love, appreciation, cares, fears and worries with HIM, then fully expect that HE has the answer to every question and the solution to every problem! He will NOT withhold from us, but WE must come to HIM! He has given us a free will and He will NOT, EVER, impose His will on us! WE must CHOOSE! What will YOU choose today?

Shalom in Him!
