July 20: Seated With Christ in the Heavenly Places


“And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
— Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. Our security is anchored in Christ’s victory.
  2. We are not merely surviving but reigning with Him spiritually.
  3. Our life is hidden with Christ above every threat.
  4. God’s salvation lifts us into heavenly authority.
  5. We already belong to the kingdom that will never fall.

Poem: Seated With the King

The throne room hums with endless light.
The songs of mercy fill the halls.
You call my name across the winds.
You seat me beside your royal strength.
You weave my story into your reign.

The earth may crumble under greed.
The kings may fight for fading thrones.
But your place for me stands sure.
Your kingdom hums with endless peace.
Your word carves truth into the sky.

The chains of doubt fall at your gate.
The dust of shame blows far away.
You clothe me in a better crown.
You place my feet on steady stones.
You speak my worth in holy fire.

The battle rages in the valley deep.
The storms beat their angry drums.
But above the noise, your voice calls clear.
You seat the trembling beside your throne.
You crown the weary with your strength.

Today I sit inside your finished grace.
Today I stand on your reigning love.
You are the King who lifts the weak.
You are the Shepherd who seats the lost.
You are the life written into my name.
