Seeking Jesus First - May 27, 2023

In the spirit or heavenly realm, we are seated with and in Christ. How is this possible? We are triune beings. We are spiritual beings with a soul living in a body. In the spirit realm, we are in Christ and Christ is in us. We are in a place of rest…

“Seated with Him” is a place of rest, acceptance, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. As spiritual beings with our faith in Christ Jesus, we never leave this holy place of rest. We are complete in Him. We are forever loved, holy, righteous and accepted. In this place of rest, we have received every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Every spoken blessing is in Christ Yes. If it is in Him, it is in us. Every word of God is spirit, life and blessing to us.

What is true in the spirit must be walked out in the earth. Once we have our spiritual identity which never changes in Christ Jesus, we have the privilege of manifesting in the earth as sons of God. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” (John 1:12, NKJV) “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19, NKJV)

We have the privilege of walking out the spiritual truths in the earth. Read these “Walk” Scriptures.

“Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.” (1 Thessalonians 4:1–8, NKJV)

“that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.” (1 Thessalonians 4:12, NKJV)
