By far the most profound Biblical wisdom is the revelation of
who we really are and where we really are, in Christ. In
step three, we will come to the realization that the power to stand tall and
live free is already ours.
Eph 2:6-10 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to
come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we
are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
What does it mean to be seated next to Christ?
We have the same power, dominion and authority that Jesus has.
If we can only grasp this Biblical wisdom and apply it to our lives, we
will walk. We will stand and not fall. We will live above
this present evil age! (Gal 1:3-5) Then, and only then, can
we accomplish "good works which God hath before ordained."

Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the

Eph 1:19-23 And what is the exceeding greatness of his
power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his
mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him
from the dead, and set him at his own 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 world, but also
in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the
head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
