Living Above - Seated In Christ

Isaiah 11:2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned. Salvation is personal first. While you may need physical help for something going on in your life, our Father will comfort your heart and mind while you wait. Ephesians 1:19-21 I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself. Ephesians 2:1-10 (6) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 1 John 4:12-18 (15-18) If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world, we are just like Him. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because He first loved us. Let us breath and trust God! Matthew 6:32-34 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
