Today's "Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin goes right along with our study today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan!
Seated Together
"Even when we were dead in
sins, God hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) and
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:5-6).
The very act that raised the Lord from the dead also raised His Body. (The head and the body are naturally raised together.)
Furthermore, the very act that seated Christ also seated His Body. Where are we sitting? In heavenly places! Right now! We're not going to sit there sometime; God has made us sit together now in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Christ is seated at the Father's own right hand. Therefore, we are seated at the Father's own right hand! (The right hand is the place of authority. God carries out all of His plan and program through His right hand - through Christ, through His spiritual Body, which is the Church.)
The right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens is the center of power of the whole universe (Hebrews 8:1)! The exercising of the power of that throne was committed to the ascended Christ and that authority belongs to us.
Confession: God has quickened me with Christ. God has raised me up together with Him. God has made me sit together with Christ in heavenly places. As I go about in the earth, working with God in carrying out His plan, I am seated, as far as authority goes, at the Father's right hand.

Our GREAT GOD has already given us His complete protection, provision and safety as a promise for abiding in His presence! Being seated IN Him in those heavenly places! IN HIS PRESENCE! ALWAYS! The promise found in Psalm 91 says this:
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! 3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
Make sure that YOU are spending the necessary time in intimate fellowship with the GOD of the BIBLE that will cause your faith to grow and to become stronger than it has ever been in HIS reliability! YOU CAN COUNT ON HIM! Amebn!!! Here is Hillsong with "Look To The Son":
Shalom in Him!
