A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, November 10, 2024
WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF??
READ WITH ME for just a moment friends.
“For God is the KING over all the earth. Praise him with a psalm.”
Psalms 47:7
“See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us HIS CHILDREN, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are GOD’S CHILDREN because they don’t know him.”
1 John 3:1
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and CHOSE US in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to ADOPT US INTO HIS OWN FAMILY by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”
Ephesians 1:3-5
“But God, being [so very] rich in mercy, because of His great and wonderful love with which He loved us, even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment). And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and SEATED US WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,”
Ephesians 2:4-6
1. God is King over all the earth. KING!
2. We are His children. HIS! THE KINGS CHILDREN!
3. He chose us and adopted us into His family! CHOSEN AND ADOPTED!! BY THE KING!!
4. He seated us with Him in the heavenly places. THE KING! SEATED US, HIS CHOSEN CHILDREN!! WE SIT WITH THE KING! IN HEAVENLY PLACES!
Friends, where are you? You are seated in the heavenly places with the King. Seated with Christ! When you gave your life in exchange for HIS! You became a KINGS KID!! Friends, you are His kid! You are a prince or princess of the KING! You are seated in the heavenly places!!
Do you see yourself there? Or do you still see yourself in the broken place God found you? We may be still here on earth but in the spirit we are seated in heaven AND!! He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms AND!! “By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.”
2 Peter 1:3-4
You have been equipped to live this life, you have been chosen and are seated in the heavenly places with the King!!
THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE!! You can’t earn it. You can’t lose it. BUT we must CHOOSE to live in it!! Because he’s already given it to you!! You are a crown wearing, sword wielding, child of the MOST HIGH GOD!! Straighten your crown, rise up princes and princesses and walk in what you have been given! You are so LOVED!!
