A little while ago I was thinking about this verse in the Bible that says

God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 2:6

We have all seen pictures like this from cartoons we watched on television when we were children.

Is that what it means to be seated in heavenly places? We’re sitting on a cloud and we must have some way to stay there so we need wings, right?

I had never really thought about what it meant to be “seated with Christ” so I asked the Lord, “Where exactly am I seated in heavenly places?”

A lot of people imagine heaven as a garden so I thought of something like this picture – maybe I am sitting on a garden bench with Jesus just enjoying his company in heavenly places. That sounded very pleasant.

But the Lord surprised me. He showed me a vision of the throne room of God. I saw the Father sitting on His throne and I saw Jesus sitting at His right hand – which looks like Jesus is on the left as you face them.

Then the vision changed perspective and now I was standing between the two thrones and slightly behind them. Jesus beckoned to me to come closer. That’s when I saw that His throne was not a chair but a bench seat. He scooted over and invited me to sit with Him on His throne. I walked over and sat down. It was hard like a cement bench. I was now seated between Jesus and the Father, looking out and slightly down on the earth and everything going on around the throne.

What a view! Wow! I just sat there, taking it all in. For several days I pondered that vision and would go back to that place. Just sitting there with Jesus in heavenly places. Wow. Selah.

Did you know THAT is where we are seated in heavenly places? Imagine yourself there. Ask the Lord to show you where you are in that picture. Use your 5 senses in the spirit and notice what you see, hear and feel. It can give you confidence and security, sitting there with them.

Jesus would love to spend some time with you today! Take a minute and focus on Him. He loves you so much and He loves to spend time with you. ❤️
