I believe the Lord always gives to us a Word for every season we are in. My heart is full of expectation as He guides and leads us through our process of change. I’m currently preparing a new message series for the mid-fall season titled, Seated With Christ. And in it, I’m hearing the Lord speaking to me personally about who I am and why I do what I do…A definite motive revealer and adjuster…
In the epistle to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul talks about three positions of Christian function that we, as the church, have to comprehend…they are SEATING (Eph 2:6) WALKING (Eph. 4:1) and STANDING (Eph. 6:14).
As Christians it’s very easy to become more “walk” (doing works) oriented than any of the other two. As a mater of fact, we usually never reach the “standing” (victorious warfare) position of our faith because our “walk” is so dysfunctional. And the reason for this is that we develop a thwarted understanding of what it means to be “SEATED in Christ” (Identity).
For the record, all of who we are and what we do comes from our perceptivity of “being seated” with Christ. I can’t wait to jump into this teaching… Good stuff!
Be expecting!
