Text: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6
Beloved in Christ we need to be bold like lion against any opposition in life because Christ has done it all is left us to possess out possession.
The position and the placement of a believer are first of all spiritual.
It will be a wrong definition to merely see ourselves from the perspective of where we are and who we are in the natural. The redemptive work of Christ has completely changed our position and placement.
We are raised up together with Christ. He rose up out of death and depravity. The grave could not hold him down. We also rose up together with him and raised us up together.* We are no longer down we are up.
From now on we cannot afford to have a “down mentality,” we are up.* Nothing of the devil or of this world can keep us down any more. We have broken lose from all limitations and all depravity.
The “down mentality” is a mindset of a victim; a helpless approach to life.* The ten (10) spies that brought an evil report to Moses and the Jews had a “down mentality,” they did not see any way out of what they saw. Their conclusion was “Let’s not even try. We are not able. The enemies are stronger than us.” King Saul and his men also had such a mindset. They concluded that no one could defeat Goliath. It was difficult for them to figure out how “little” David will confront the giant. David was small but he was “up” on the inside.
We have been raised up above defeat and failure.* No matter how much of it we have experienced in the past it’s never a conclusion of our lives.
The spiritual has taken over that which is natural around our lives.*
Divinity has taken over humanity. The celestial has taken over the terrestrial.* Raise your head up; raise your heart up. You are not down – a thousand times no. You are raised up in victory and triumph.
CONFESSION:
I am raised up with Christ. Everything about me is up and not down. I am victorious all the way.
