Last week we spoke about how generally in life, positioning is important. And we spoke about how just as positioning in the natural realm is key, so spiritual positioning is key. We need to be constantly checking that we are positioned aright for God’s next move. Positioned aright for the season we are in. Positioned in belief, because belief positions us aright for the next God move. We need to take responsibility for our spiritual positioning. We can’t be passive.
Eph 2:4-6 (NKJV) But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
I am saved and forgiven. Redeemed from death. Found in Christ Jesus, seated in heavenly places. FB Meyer says: In the purpose of God we have been raised from the grave of sin and are seated with the risen Lord in the place of acceptance and victory. We were one with Christ when He lay in the grave and arose. In God’s thought we have already taken our seat with the glorified Christ upon the throne; only the pity is that we do not believe this or act as if we had done so.
We need to live as believers seated in heavenly places in Christ. We need to position ourselves regularly. By using the terms spiritual positioning, I am referring to your heart disposition, the disposition of your spirit, how you show up in the spirit realm. How are you positioned in terms of spiritual attributes and qualities?
Last week we looked at positioned ourselves in thanksgiving and the power of that. Today we will look at 2 more positions we can and must assume.
