The Position of the Church Today — Post 19 of 35
Called to Overcome
The Church is not waiting to be seated with Christ. She is seated with Him now.
Ephesians 2:6 declares it clearly: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” This is not future tense. It is present reality.
But most of the Church lives as though defeated, earthly, and dis-empowered.
Why? Because spiritual position must be apprehended by faith. You must believe what is true in Christ and begin to walk in it, war from it, and worship out of it.
Israel was given the land—but they still had to possess it. Likewise, the Church has been given spiritual authority in Christ—but must rise up and act like it.
Our battle is not to gain victory, but to stand in the victory already won (Ephesians 6:10–13). Yet many believers live reactive lives, tossed by trials, seduced by the world, and bound by unbelief.
The Church is not a defeated army hoping to survive. She is the Body of Christ, seated above all principalities and powers, called to manifest His triumph on earth.
To be seated with Christ is not mere theology. It is a call to reign. A call to prayer. A call to purity. A call to war.
The world needs a Church who knows where she is.
You are not under your circumstances—you are above them in Christ.
Rise up and take your place.
