But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved);
And hath raised us up together; and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:4-6)
The Lord Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, far above all principality, and power, might, dominion, and every name that is named. He occupies the most exalted throne there is; and the good news is that we’re seated with him. Thus, together, we’re reigning over all principality and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named. Glory to God!
God gave Jesus authority over all creation. At the mount of transfiguration, He spoke out of heaven and said, “….This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him” (Matthew 17: 5). Here, God commanded all creation-all of nature-animate and inanimate, to be subject to Jesus.
Now, in our opening verse the apostle Paul makes this remarkable statement about us, the new creation in Christ: “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved); And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:5-6). In the realm of the spirit, you’re seated with Christ; you occupy his place of authority, with the power of attorney to act in His stead. All the powers of darkness respond to, and recognise, your authority in Christ. Therefore, be bold to exercise this dominion in every area of your life.
You’re not ordinary. You operate from a higher realm where your words are backed with divine power. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, “Where the word of a king is, there is power…” All authority has been vested on you to alter the circumstances of your life to be in sync with God’s perfect will. You can speak words of power to break the influence of Satan over men’s lives and cause the light of this glorious Gospel to shine upon them.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me all authority in heaven and in earth to walk in dominion over all the power of the enemy. I reign gloriously today over every force of nature, as I triumphantly fulfil God’s perfect will for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
