Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" deovtional for today continues on with the theme of who WE are IN CHRIST!
Taking Your Place
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are
above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on
things above, not on things on the earth. — COLOSSIANS 3:1,2
The elevation of the believer to be seated with Christ at
the right hand of the Father took place potentially at the resurrection (Ephesians 2:5,6). Meditate on this passage until it becomes real to you. Remember, every
heavenly blessing is yours (Ephesians 1:3). But you have to take your place there to
enjoy them. The believer whose eyes have been opened to his throne rights in
Christ may: (1) Accept his seat, and (2) Begin to exercise the spiritual
authority that seating confers on him.
The devil bitterly resents our entrance into his domain. He
has been used to exercising authority and ruling over someone’s life, so he
will concentrate his forces against us when we come into these mighty truths.
And no truth encounters such opposition as the truth of the authority of the
believer!
The only place of safety is to be seated with Christ in
heavenly places, far above all principality, power, might, and dominion. If the
believer abides steadfastly, by faith, in this place, he cannot be touched by
the enemy. So take your seat in heavenly places and keep it!
Confession: I set my affection on heavenly facts. I
keep myself mindful that I am seated with Christ in heavenly places far above
the enemy!
THIS is how GOD sees us! THIS is how HE is expecting us to act! Like we are TRULY seated IN HIM with all of the authority of Heaven within us, upon us and working through us! We ARE to represent JESUS in this earth as members of His Body, His Church and His BRIDE! Learn to forget your past and to put your confidence in the ONE Who is EVEN NOW continuing to work HIS good work IN YOU! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Who You Say I Am":Shalom in Him!
