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 (Heb. 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.
