The Devil has no ability to alter, touch, change or
rearrange anything Jesus established forever when he sat down next to the Father in heaven.
It feels good to say that. Say it out loud.
Do you hear things shake?
Do you feel the words reverberate through creation?

Paul says, we are seated with Christ in heavenlies.
(Eph 2:5-7)
Everything was set forever in the goodness of God. It occurred when Jesus
ascended. His feet, touching the earth
on a mountain in Israel, lifted off the earth and ascended into heaven. He took his seat at the right hand of the
Father and his place as the High Priest of the Heavenly tabernacle.
Paul says,
The
Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being,
sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided
purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in
heaven.

The Devil has no ability to alter, touch, change or
rearrange anything Jesus established forever when he sat down.
You and I sit down with him into everything he accomplished when we believe in him.
Sitting down. Work is
done. It is finished. What does that work mean in ascension?
1) Jesus sat down in
perfect worship. A central piece of
what Jesus did was set perfect, holy, and righteous worship into the fabric of
heaven and earth.
Jesus personified and is everything he accomplished in the
Father’s will. We will be the same as
we walk after the Spirit and obediently follow the Lord Jesus. He did not just accomplish things. HE was and is and is to come. He is everything he ever said, did or called
forth in the human heart.
2) Jesus sat down in
perfect relationship. Perfect
relationship with everything seen, unseen, known, ever to be known, Jesus holds
all things together. Jesus created all
things and all things will unify and find their fulfillment in Jesus. He
brought righteousness into all things and when all is unified in him a perfect
relationship will exist with everything in the created world. Beautiful.
3) Jesus sat down in
perfect revelation. As the
Scripture reveals and sets a righteous and true witness into the world of
divine revelation, Jesus himself connected the Ways of God, the Truth and Life
into a perfect revelation of his rule and reign. The Kingdom, Jesus’ rule and reign, came
with him and in him and through him. It
does the same in us as we renew our minds in his ways, truth and life. The amazing beauty of what Jesus
accomplished is resident in him and radiates from him in love and
generosity.
4) Jesus sat down in perfect
inheritance. Jesus won humanity an
inheritance as vast as the heavens, rooted in the Father’s heart and richly
inclusive of everyone who believes in HIM.
Paul tells us that who we are is hidden in
him. We are treasure hunters in the
face of Jesus. Inheritance is
discovered. It unfolds as we travel with
him. As we seek his face and purpose to
know Jesus above all things in this life.
He meets us at the point of our desire for him. Tremendous promise.
5) Jesus sat down in
heavens temple. Jesus sat down in a
heavenly temple that is now completely connected to the earth’s dynamic and
unfolding story. He passed through all
things and descended to the darkest places.
He fills all things in every way.
Then he ascended higher than anyone possibly could. Jesus is beyond the touch of earthly rulers
and authorities, heavenly rulers and authorities any and all powers. This is eternal. Set forever.
Jesus is the eternal reality that all things are moving toward. The earth is passing away. It is fading in the truth, righteousness and
glory of Jesus. And the Kingdom is
coming everyday in the glory, beauty and power of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Devil has nothing to do with ascended eternal
realities.
His is the game of deception. Entanglement. Lies.
Jesus said he was the father of lies.
He never tells the truth.
Speaks in half-truths.
Sounds right on the front.
Devastates on the back side.
HE cannot tell the truth…. ever. Remember this.
The Spirit does tell the truth. Always.
Ask him for guidance.
The Devil is created.
HE is one angel.
There are not enough fallen angels to handle all of us! Graham Cooke says.
I think he is right.
Satan is in one place at a time. He is seated somewhere also.
He is seated in what is fallen and fading away.
We don’t all fight him personally.
He has limited resources; a certain number of angels to move
about the earth.
We have thousands upon thousands of witnesses who have
walked in the way and shine with the glory of a race well run. Seated in heaven. Seeing Jesus.
We have thousands upon thousands of righteous, holy,
servants of fire who minister at the Lord’s word and support the cause of the
righteous every moment.
We have Jesus in us.
Christ in us the hope and power and truth. (Col 1:27) We have glory in us.
Do you see the complete emptiness of the Devil’s
position?
Do you see the utter glory, power, eternal kingdom we are part
of?
Do you see Jesus?
That is what we need. To see with the eyes of our hearts the Lord of Glory.
Nothing can change our life, our family, and our insides
like a fresh revelation of the Love of God in Jesus Christ. (Eph 3:14-22)
Ask the Spirit for a love encounter with Jesus.
Our lives in Christ are hidden in this place.
Hidden in Jesus heart.
Linked with the Father’s heart in everything Jesus
accomplished and finished both in heaven and on earth.
We belong to HIM.
Nothing can tear you away from him.
Trust. Believe. Know and live in his power.
Isaiah 26:3 Perfect Peace!
With much love and faith that he will accomplish everything
he set out to do in YOU!
