Jesus’ resurrection not only changed our condition, but it also changed our position!
We are not sinners saved by grace; we went from a sinner to a son.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:
10 We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to His Life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in His fullness!
11 And we pray that you would be energized with all His explosive power from the realm of His magnificent glory, filling you with great hope.
12 Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light.
13 He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom realm of His Beloved Son.
Paul prayed for us to receive the manifestation of His explosive power. He knew we now had the potential to walk in this manner. As well, he knew that we had become worthy to walk in the light aka revelation of Jesus’ glorious Kingdom realm. We are expected to mature and become fruit-bearing branches.
And in Ephesians chapter 1:
18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His Holy ones!
Paul is speaking to us as believers, revealing to us a greater walk available to those who seek the full revelation of the hope of His calling.
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
We are only limited by our expectations!
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
4 But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.
5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, He united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by His wonderful grace!
6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!
It is vital for us to accept and embrace this revelation! We have been given the perfection and authority to be there. HE seated us in a position of power.
7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of His grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.
How can we be the visible display if we don’t mature into fruit-bearing branches? A promise of GOD is meant to prophesy our future IN HIM. It is meant to give us hope and expectation of manifestation of such promises. We have the choice to ascend with Him into Heavenly places, in the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm. As we are led by The Holy Spirit daily, we will ascend! We will be given unlimited access to His riches in all areas of our life.
