He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. (Eph.1:20,21)
Principality,power,might and dominion are terms for ruling authorities in the invisible realms. Christ is above these powers and we are seated with Him in heavenly places. Our struggle in this dominion is our engagement in spiritual warfare. The war has been won but the battle rages on to enforce the victory.
We must know that we are more than conquerors through Jesus. We are destined to rule and reign with Jesus for eternity over all powers. It is our mandate to make this truth an active part of our lives in the here and now. So many people try to understand what being more than a conqueror through Jesus means. Jesus is the One who conquered death, hell and the grave yet we as followers of Jesus receive all the benefits of His actions. Jesus paid the price for our salvation and we reap the benefits. That makes us more than a conqueror. What we deserved He took upon Himself and what He deserved, He gave to us.
What a perfect, loving and kind God we serve. Think on what He has done for you today and take time out to thank Him and acknowledge Him in your busy day. He has purchased us so much and is waiting for you to talk with Him.
Our Redeemer lives!
