This past week has truly been a blessing for me because Colossians 3.1, 2 has sustained me. Colossians 3. 1 and 2 ministers, "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth." This word has also connected itself with Christ's regard for you and I. Christ has "made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Christ be glory and dominion forever and ever (Rev. 1.6)." Not only has Christ made us to be kings and priests unto Him, but "He has blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Eph. 1.3b)." In addition, "God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses and made us alive together with Christ and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2.6)."
These life-sustaining and life-changing Scriptural absolute truths are the "living and powerful word of God, that is sharper than ANY two-sword that pierces even to the division of the soul and spirit, joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4.12)." If we allow these words to penetrate sudden transformation in our behaviors as believers in Christ, the dynamics in our everyday conversations will be Christ-centered, our process of thinking and reasoning will produce decisions that will bear fruit(s) in Christ, the manner in which we pray will remove all of the many mountains that were erupted to keep us from growing closer, in relationship, with Christ, and amongst other spiritual shifts that God has impregnated in us; even before the ancient of days.
God wants you to know that when your mind is focused on Him, "there will be perfect peace given to you from Him (Isaiah 26.3);" but this is only if "your mind is stayed on Him because He trusts you." I can promise you that now that you have put to death your old nature by being baptized in Christ, He has given us the resurrecting power of grace to be raised with Him in our new nature. Is this not great?
You own a seat in the heavenly place with Christ Jesus, and if you are with Christ, you cannot think about anything else but Him! Consider yourself in the heavens, sitting with Christ, and performing the works of Christ without removing yourself from that seat. It is when we remove ourselves from our seats, that is in the heavens, to make an earthly decision and bear no fruit; or bad fruit. I hear the Lord saying that "Earthly decisions require, heavenly counsel that utilizes the spiritual blessing of a heavenly mind. Sitting in the heavens with an earthly mind set defaults your heavenly seat." (Spoken by God, the Holy Spirit).
In this season, you must be consistently mindful that you were made either a king or a priest by Christ Jesus. Living as a king and a priest is the shift that must occur in your thoughts. God says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23. 6)." God is restoring the mindset of His people to cause His people to regard themselves as He regards, considers, and perceives them. The reason why you have not reaped your harvest because you have not allowed God's word to penetrate and pierce all that is keeping you away from understanding that the lack of a royal mindset is holding you hostage at the position of the tale end of the table as opposed to sitting at the head of the table. Men that claim to be Christian must sit down in their heavenly seats to sit at the end of their families' dinner table, that consists of his commitment to one wife and his children that was bore to his one and only wife; this is a kingdom mindset!
The Lord wants us to remove mountains and cast them into the sea (Mark 11.23-25)! The reason why we have not seen mountains being removed and cast into the sea is because our minds are on common ground with the mountains. Do you not know that if we remain seated in our heavenly place that we will be able to focus our eyes in a downward direction to notice that the mountain is minuscule from the heavenly place where we sit; and later on find ourselves, without the existence of doubt, cast those mountains into the sea?
God says, "move those mountains and do not be afraid! Come back and sit down in your seat. My throne is always awaiting for you to sit back down!
In Christ,
DWWII
