And I tell you this, there is one verse in the book of Ephesians that if you truly understood it would strip Satan of every claim he makes against you. Most Christians have read it a hundred times. They have quoted it. They have heard it preached but they have never activated it. Today that ends.
This verse is not poetry. It is not theology for scholars. It is the legal documentation of your position in Christ. It is the divine title deed that declares you are above the enemy, above his schemes, above his accusations, and above his power. And the moment you grasp it, truly grasp it, you will never live beneath your inheritance again. But before l show you this scripture, I need you to understand why the devil has worked so hard to keep you from it.
Because it he can keep you ignorant of your legal standing, he can keep you begging for what you already possess.
He can keep you praying for victory when you are already victorious. He can keep you crying for deliverance when you are already delivered. Listen to me carefully. The greatest weapon hell has against the believer is not temptation. It is not sickness. It is not even accusation. The greatest weapon hell has is spiritual ignorance.
The Bible says in Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Not for lack of sincerity. Not for lack of worship, but for lack of knowledge.
And this is precisely what Satan banks on. He knows that if you do not know who you are in Christ, you will live like a slave. Even though the shackles have been broken, you will beg like a beggar, even though you are a son. You will fight like a defeated soldier. Even though the war was won at Calvary.
Before l go further, I want you to do something.
If this is already stirring something in your spirit, I want you to remember . Risen. Because today you are going to rise into the fullness of what Christ has made you.
Risen.
If you are ready to step out of spiritual ignorance and into the revelation that will change everything.
Now, let me take you to the scripture that has been hidden in plain sight. Turn with me to Ephesians 2:6. And here is what it says. And hath raised us up together, and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Read it again slowly.
And hath raised us up together, and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Do you see what this is saying?
This is not a promise for the future.
This is not something that will happen when you die and go to heaven. This is a legal declaration of your present position.
Right now, today, you have been raised up. You have been seated. And not just anywhere you have been seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Most believers have no idea what this means. They read it and think it is beautiful language. They think it is symbolic. They think it is encouragement. But it is far more than that. This is the legal foundation of your authority over every power of darkness.
Let me explain something to you. In the ancient world, the one who sat had the authority. The one who sat had the power. The one who sat had the final word.
When a king sat on his throne, it was a declaration that the battle was over.
When a judge sat in his seat, it was a declaration that the verdict had been rendered.
When Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of the Father, it was a declaration that redemption was finished. And here is what will shock you. God did not just seat Jesus. He seated you.
Ephesians 2:6 says, "He made us to sit with him. You are not standing before the throne begging. You are not kneeling outside the door waiting. You are seated with Christ in the place of authority, in the place of triumph, in the place of dominion. Now, why does Satan fear this truth? Because the moment you realize where you are seated, you will stop begging and start reigning. You will stop crying and start commanding.
You will stop living beneath the circumstances and start living above them. But here is the problem. The mainstream church has never taught this. Most preachers do not preach it. Most believers do not know it. And so generation after generation of Christians live like spiritual orphans when they are sons. They live like slaves when they are heirs.
They live defeated when they are more than conquerors. I want to tell you soo much confidence in Christ than leave them with too much
confidence in the devil. Because right now, the church is filled with people who believe the devil is stronger than he is. They believe sickness has more power than it does. They believe sin has more dominion than it does.
They believe their past has more claim on them than it does. And all of this is because they do not know where they are seated. You see, Ephesians 2:6 does not just tell you that you are seated. It tells you where you are seated. You are seated in heavenly places. That means you are above the earth. You are above the storm. You are above the battle. You are above the enemy.
And notice what else it says in Christ Jesus. This is critical.
You are not seated there because of your goodness.
You are not seated there because of your works. You are not seated there because you prayed harder or fasted longer or gave more money. You are seated there because you are in Christ. And where Christ is, you are. What Christ has, you have.
What he won, you won. When Jesus rose from the dead, you rose with him. When Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, you ascended with him. When Jesus sat down in the place of victory,
you sat down with him. This is not theology.
This is legal reality. This is covenant truth. This is the finished work of the cross.
Now, let me show you something that will make this even clearer.
Go back with me to Ephesians 1: verses 19-22 and listen to what the Word says. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us? Ward who believe according to the working of his mighty power which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that fleth all in all. Do you see it? Jesus Christ is not just above some powers. He is far above all principality, all power, all might, all dominion, and every name that is named. That means every demon, every disease, every accusation, every curse, every bondage, every fear, every spirit of darkness, all of it is beneath him. And here is the revelation that will change your life. If you are seated with him, then all of those things are beneath you, too. Think about that right now.
As you listen to my voice, you are not beneath the attack. You are above it.
You are not beneath the sickness. You are above it. You are not beneath the fear. You are above it.
You are not beneath the accusation.
You are above it because you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Far above all principality and power.
Now I know what some of you are thinking. You're thinking, "But brother, I do not feel like l am above anything. I feel defeated. I feel weak. I feel like the enemy is winning."
And that is exactly the problem.
You are living by what you feel instead of living by what God has said.
You are living by your experience instead of living by your legal standing.
You are living by the symptoms instead of living by the Word.
Man shal live by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God.
“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
In Deuteronomy 8:3, Moses tells the Israelites, “He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” Jesus quotes this passage in Matthew 4:4 to emphasize our need and God’s provision and faithfulness. God provided manna to sustain the Israelites physically, and His words will sustain believers spiritually.
Let me tell you something. When a police officer steps into the middle of a busy intersection, he does not feel strong enough to stop the cars. 10:24 Physically, he cannot do it. A car weighing two tons rushing toward him at 30 mph could crush him in an instant. But when he lifts his hand in uniform, every car stops. Why? Because he is not operating in his own strength. He is operating in the authority of the law. He is representing the power of the government and the cars do not respond to his feelings. They respond to his position. That is you.
You are not operating in your own strength.
You are operating in the authority of Christ. You are representing the power of the throne. And the powers of darkness do not respond to how you feel.
They respond to where you are seated. But here is the tragedy. Most Christians have never been taught this.
They have been taught to beg God for victory.
They have been taught to plead with God for healing. They have been taught to cry out to God for deliverance.
And all the while, God is saying, "I have already given you victory.
I have already provided healing. I have already delivered you. Now take your seat and enforce what I have finished.
I wrote years ago, the prayer of faith is not the begging of an inferior. It is the claiming of the rights of a son. And that is what most believers do not understand.
They pray like orphans when they are sons.
They cry like beggars when they are heirs.
They gravel like slaves when they are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
Now, let me show you why Satan fights so hard to keep you from this revelation. Because if you truly understood Ephesians 2:6, received it now, you would stop giving him any ground.
Now everything changes because you realize that you are not fighting for victory. You are fighting from victory.
You are not trying to get above the enemy. You are already above the enemy.
You are not asking God to give you authority. You already have authority because you are seated with Christ.
Now, here is where this gets practical. Romans 8:37 says, "Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Notice what it says. We are more than conquerors. That means we are not merely survivors of the battle. We are sharers in the victory of another. Jesus Christ fought the fight. Jesus Christ won the war. Jesus Christ conquered Satan. And now we reign in the triumph of his victory.
This is what it means to be seated.
You are not down in the dirt fighting for ground. You are seated in the place of authority enforcing what Christ has already won.
Let me give you a picture. Imagine a soldier who has fought a long and brutal war. He has bled. He has suffered. He has lost friends.
And finally, after years of conflict, the enemy surrenders. The war is over. The victory is won.
The general plants the flag and declares the triumph. Now imagine that same soldier years later still swinging his sword at shadows, still fighting battles that have already been won, still bleeding for ground that has already been taken. You would say he is living in the past. You would say he does not know the war is over. That is the picture of most believers today. The war was won at Calvary. Christ raised the banner of victory. Satan is a disarmed foe.
Yet if you do not know this, you will keep swinging at shadows exhausted and uncertain. But when you understand Ephesians 2:6, you stop swinging.
You sit down, not in passivity, not in laziness, but in rest, in authority, in confidence, because you know the battle is finished.
You know the victory is won. You know you are seated with Christ far above all the power of the enemy.
Now let me take this deeper because this is not just about spiritual warfare.
This is about every area of your life.
This is about your health. This is about your finances. This is about your family.
This is about your future when you are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
You are above sickness. That means sickness does not have the right to dominate you.
When you are seated with Christ in heavenly places,
you are above poverty.
That means lack does not have the right to control you. When you are seated with Christ in heavenly places, you are above fear.
That means anxiety does not have the right to rule you. And this is where most Christians miss it.
They pray for healing, but they do not enforce their authority over sickness.
They pray for provision, but they do not stand in their covenant rights.
They pray for peace, but they do not take their seat above the storm.
Let me show you something.
In Mark 16: verses 17 to18, Jesus said, "And these signs shall follow them that believe. In my name shall they cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Notice what he said. These signs shall follow them that believe.
Not just the apostles, not just the prophets, not just the elders, but them that believe. That means you. The moment you are born again, the moment you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, you are equipped, you have authority, you have power, you have the right to command in His Name. But most believers never step into this. Why?
Because they do not know where they are seated. They do not know who they are in Christ. They do not know what they have been given.
And so they pray like beggars. They cry like orphans. They live like slaves.
When all the while God is saying, "You are seated with Christ. You are above the enemy. You have authority from heaven . Now use it."
I wrote years ago, "Confession builds the road over which faith carries its mighty cargo." And that is exactly what l am talking about.
Your confession, what you say with your mouth builds the bridge your faith must walk across.
If you keep confessing weakness, you will live in weakness.
If you keep confessing defeat, you will live in defeat.
If you keep confessing fear, you will live in fear.
But if you begin to confess what God has said, if you begin to declare,
I am seated with Christ in heavenly places.
l am above all principality and power.
I have authority over every work of darkness.
l am more than a conqueror through HIM that loved me. Then your faith will rise. Your authority will manifest and the enemy will have no choice but to flee.
Now I need to address something because some of you readers are thinking, but brother I have tried to stand in authority and it did not work. I have tried to command the enemy and nothing happened. I have tried to enforce my rights and I am still sick. I am still broke. l am still bound.
And here is what I want you to understand.
The problem is not with the truth.
The problem is with your understanding of the truth.
The problem is not with your position in Christ.
The problem is with your revelation of your position in Christ.
You see, Ephesians 2:6 is a legal fact.
It is a spiritual reality. It is a covenant declaration.
But if you do not know it, if you do not believe it, if you do not act on it, then it will not manifest in your experience.
Let me give you an example.
Let us say a man inherits a vast fortune from his father. The money is in the bank. The account is in his name. The will has been probated. The inheritance is legally his. But if he does not know about it, if he never goes to the bank, if he never withdraws the money, then he will live like a popper. Even though he is a millionaire, that is the picture of most believers.
They have an inheritance in Christ. They have authority. They have power. They have victory.
But they do not know it. They have never been taught it. They have never activated it. And so they live beneath their privileges.
But here is the good news. The moment you know the truth, the moment you believe the truth, the moment you act on the truth, everything changes because the inheritance does not change.
Your knowledge of it changes. And when your knowledge changes, your experience changes.
Now, let me show you how to activate this because Ephesians 2:6 is not just a verse to read.
It is a Word to live.
It is a Word to declare.
It is a Word to enforce.
First, you must renew your mind with the word until the reality of your position in Christ is more real than your circumstances.
Romans 12:2 says, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."
That means you must saturate your thinking with the truth.
You must meditate on Ephesians 2:6 until it becomes more real to you than the sickness in your body, more real than the lack in your bank account, more real than the fear in your heart.
Second, you must declare it with your mouth.
Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Your words are not empty. They carry weight. They build reality."
And the moment you begin to say, "I am seated with Christ in heavenly places. l am above all the power of the enemy. I have authority in His Name." You are building the road your faith will walk on.
Third, you must act on it. James 21:17 says, "Faith, if it hath not works, is dead being alone."
That means you cannot just think it. You cannot just say it. You must do it.
When sickness comes, you do not beg God to
heal you. You take your seat of authority and command the sickness to go.
When fear comes, you do not cry out for deliverance. You take your seat of authority and speak peace.
When the enemy attacks, you do not plead for protection. You take your seat of authority and enforce the victory of the cross of Christ.
This is what it means to walk in Ephesians 2:6.
This is what it means to live from the place of rest. This is what it means to reign in life through Jesus Christ.
Now, let me take you to one more place because l want you to see the full picture of what God has done.
Turn with me to Colossians 2: verses 13-15.
And here is what it says. And you being dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross, and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them, openly triumphing over them in it.
Do you see what this is saying? Jesus did not just forgive you. He did not just cleanse you. He spoiled principalities and powers. That word spoiled means he stripped them. He disarmed them. He made a public spectacle of them. He triumphed over them.
And here is the revelation.
When Jesus spoiled the enemy, you were in Christ. When Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness, you were in Christ.
When Jesus made a public spectacle of them, you were in Christ.
That means His victory is your victory. His triumph is your triumph. His authority is your authority.
This is why Ephesians 2:6 is so powerful because it is not just telling you where you are seated. It is telling you what the seat represents.
You are seated in the place of triumph.
You are seated in the place of victory.
You are seated in the place where the enemy has been stripped, disarmed, and defeated. And as long as you stay in that seat, as long as you know where you are, as long as you believe what God has said, as long as you enforce what Christ has finished, the enemy has no power over you.
But the moment you step down from that seat, the moment you start living by your feelings instead of your position, the moment you start believing the lie instead of the truth, the moment you start surrendering what you cannot lose, then the enemy will take advantage of your ignorance. This is why I have spent my much time and prayers teaching this message.
Because I have seen too many believers live beneath their inheritance.
I have seen too many Christians defeated by an enemy who has already been defeated.
I have seen too many sons and daughters live like slaves when they are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
And I am telling you, here and now, it does not have to be this way.
You do not have to live beneath your privileges.
You do not have to beg for what you already possess.
You do not have to cry for victory when you are already victorious.
All you have to do is take your seat. Yes, take your seat, know where you are, believe what God has said, and enforce the finished work of the cross of Christ.
Now, let me close with this because I want to leave you with something you can act on today. When
Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of the father, he did not sit down because he was tired. He sat down because the work was finished. Hebrews 10:12 says, "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, sat down.
The work was finished. The price was paid. The victory was won. And now he is seated in the place of authority reigning over all the powers of darkness. And here is what you must understand.
When you take your place in him, you rest in that finished work. You do not strive. You do not beg. You do not cry. You speak the Word
You rest. You reign. You enforce. This is the life God intends for you. A life where fear is replaced by faith. Where guilt is silenced by righteousness.
Where weakness is swallowed up in union with Christ. But it all begins with one truth. You are seated with Christ in heavenly places far above all principality and power. And the moment you believe that, the moment you declare that, the moment you act on that, everything in your life will change.
So here is what I want you to do. I want you to stop right now and I want you to say this out loud.
I am seated with Christ in heavenly places. l am above all the power of the enemy. I have authority in His Name. I am more than a conqueror through HIM that loved me. And today I take my seat. I enforce the victory of the cross. And I walk in the fullness of my inheritance in Christ.
Say it again.
Say it until it becomes more real than your circumstances.
Say it until it becomes more real than your feelings. Say it until it becomes the foundation of your faith. Because this is the truth that Satan wish you will never understand.
This is the truth that ends his legal claim over you. This is the truth that sets you free.
You are seated with Christ. You are above the enemy. You have authority.
Now use it. If this message has awakened something in your spirit, praise and thank God for His goodness.
Today you are rising above the lies.
Today you are stepping into the fullness of who you are in Christ. And remember this, the cross of Christ is finished. The victory is won. The enemy is defeated . And you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Now go and live like it to the glory of our Father God in heaven.
¶Can pray with you. Am praying for you roo. This is one of the ways we grow stronger together as a family of God that brings burdens into the light and seeks the Lord side by side.
And now I bless you in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Let the Lord calm your mind, settle your emotions, and give you peace even before the full answer arrives.
Let HIM guard you from panic, rescue you from hurried decisions, and lead you one step at a time with wisdom from above.
Let HIM teach your heart to trust HIM in the silence, obey HIM in the small things, and rest in His goodness while the path unfolds.
And may prayer continue to be a place where you feel supported, understood, and gently led back to the heart of Father God. Amen.
YOU HAVE POWER IN CHRIST JESUS
