”Blessed and worthy of praise be the GOD and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ, He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as [His own] children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will—“ – Ephesians 1:3, 5 AMP
We often talk about how much GOD loves us, but I wonder how many of us actually unpack the depth of this love and the lengths to which He has gone to reconcile us to Himself. How often do we also think about what being adopted into His royal family means for us, and what the benefits of it are? It seems like we are the only ones who do not fully comprehend who we are and what being in Christ comes with. And this is evident in how deeply satan hates us and in how the Psalmist even had to ask, ”What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?“ Psalms 8:4 NKJV.
Everything that GOD made is in Christ and all things were made and created by Jesus Christ Himself. Whatever the Father does, Jesus does, because they are ONE. Now if the Bible then says we are made in GOD’s image and are seated in heavenly places with Christ, by that virtue alone we should be operating as Jesus did when He walked the earth. When we enter the spirit realm, spirits should see Jesus when they look at us, because the more time we spend with HIM, the more we are being transformed into His image. The Name of Jesus holds so much power and authority that when we call on His Name or even speak in its authority, all things should respond as they would to Jesus Christ Himself because we are no longer coming as ourselves but laying ourselves down completely for Him to take over. That’s why it is so important that there be less of us and more of HIM, and there can only be more of HIM when we spend more and more time with HIM.
”The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of GOD, and if children, then heirs—heirs of GOD and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.“ Romans 8:16-17 NKJV. Jesus Christ is LORD of absolutely everything made and would ever be made. He holds everything together by just speaking the Word, and all things respond to what He says. Now since we are joint heirs with Christ, we should be doing great exploits by and through His name. Jesus commanded all things, including nature. So for a man to command nature and creation, there must be a partnership between GOD and man. The earth responds to us in accordance to the One who made it.
