Our Position In Christ

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: – Galatians 1:4

We are seated in Heavenly places.  That is our position in Christ.  We are in this world, yes, but we are not of this world.  We have been seated with Christ.

We need to see ourselves seated there and look at our problems from that position.  What do they look like when we are seated in Heaven?

Seeing problems from our position in Christ gives us a whole new perspective of what is important and what is not.

Turn Your Attention

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. – I John 5:18

As people born of God, we do not purposely sin.  Instead of focusing on sinning or not sinning, we should focus our attention on Jesus.  When we do, we become more like Jesus and less like us.  Our minds go in the direction in which we focus.  If we focus on sin, we will sin more.  If we focus on Jesus, we will become like Him.

Sit In His Presence

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. – I John 4:!6

God loves us.  This Scripture tells us that we must know and believe the love that God has for us.  Do we really know how much God loves us?  We say it out of our heads, but is it an undisputable fact is our hearts?  If it isn’t, maybe we should spend some time today just sitting in God’s presence, letting Him love on us.

When Storms Come

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. – Hebrews 4:14

We need to hold fast to the Word we are confessing over our lives.  Even when storms come, we must stay the course because if we can outlast satan’s attack, we will win the battle just as we have already won the war through Christ Jesus.

Whose Mind Do You Have?

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. – I Corinthians 2:16

We have the mind of Christ.  When we claim that we have the mind of Christ, it means that we begin to think like God.  It means we don’t have to endure Alzheimer’s or any other mental problem because we have Christ’s mind, and His mind is not sick or diseased in any way.

Not Of Ourselves

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: -  I Corinthians1:30

Jesus is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.  We cannot earn these things.  We cannot be good enough to merit them.  Jesus is those things for us.  All we have to do is focus on Him and Him alone to receive them.

Act On What You Have

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. – Matthew 8:17

Jesus took stripes on His back for our healing.  He took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses.  Yet most of us act like He didn’t, that He only saved us and didn’t heal us at the Cross.

Jesus not only gave us salvation but healing, prosperity, peace, protection, redemption, wholeness, restoration at the Cross.  All we have to do is claim what is already ours.

Don’t Be Devoured

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: – I Peter 5:7-8

These two verses are together.  If we cast our cares, then the devil cannot devour us.  It is when we are trying to do things on our own, trying to make things happen that we give the enemy opportunity to devour us.

Bought With A Price

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. – I Corinthians 6:20

God bought us with a price. What was that price? The price was Him sending His only Begotten Son to take our punishment at the Cross. That’s how much He loves us, in that He laid down His own Son’s life for ours before raising Jesus from the dead.

Jesus. What A Name!

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; – Philippians 2:9-10

Jesus is the Name above every name. His Name is higher than that cancer, that wayward child, that broken marriage, that financial difficulty. The Name of Jesus is above everything that has a name. Every thing that has a name must bow to the Name of Jesus. Call on Jesus’ Name today!
