The authority of the believer does not start on earth. It begins in Christ. You are not striving to rise. You are seated in victory. This is not a promise. It is a position. Not a future hope, but a present reality. The resurrection of Christ was not just a personal win. It was a collective relocation. When He rose, you rose. When He sat, you sat. You are not below. You are not equal. You are above. 

The seat of Christ is the throne of divine authority. It holds the highest rank in all realms, above principalities, powers, dominions, and every name. From this seat, Christ governs creation. From this same seat, you act as a co-heir in the Kingdom. You are not fighting for dominion. You are enforcing it from your legal seat. 

This reality must be how you see life. Until the believer starts to operate from his seat in Christ, he will keep struggling with what he has already been placed over. The devil does not want you to sin more than he wants you to doubt your seat. Once you lose sight of where you are, you start to act like who you are not. 

When you pray, do not plead from the ground. Speak from the seat. When you face challenges, don’t tremble. Declare from the seat. When you meet opposition, do not back down. Rule from the seat. This is your legal territory. This is your legislative ground. This is the realm of kingship. Your authority does not come from being loud. It comes from your position. 

The heavenly places are close. They are not just symbols. They are your covenant home. The place of dominion. The seat of command. The location of control. You are seated far above not only to escape evil but to exercise dominion. When you operate from the seat, you go beyond limitations. You cancel satanic judgments. You shape atmospheres. You direct responses. You create change. 

This seat is not earned. It is inherited. It is not based on works. It is given by grace. You were raised with Christ, not by effort but by covenant elevation. The blood secured it. The Spirit confirms it. The Word reveals it. Your job is to believe it, declare it, and operate from it without apology. 

Stop living like a man in the valley when you have been called to rule from the mountain. Stop praying like a slave when you are seated like a son. Stop putting up with what you were meant to enforce. You are not under attack. You are seated over it. You are not subject to darkness. You are seated in the light. You are not a spiritual drifter. You are enthroned. 

It is time to operate from your heavenly place. From the right hand of power. From the seat of grace. From the place with no intimidation. That is where your new life is. That is the headquarters of dominion. 

KEY TRUTHS ABOUT BEING SEATED WITH CHRIST 

1. YOU ARE NOT BENEATH. YOU ARE FAR ABOVE.

Ephesians 1:21, “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.” 

2. YOU ARE SEATED WITH CHRIST BY COVENANT, NOT BY PERFORMANCE.

Colossians 3:1, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” 

3. YOUR THRONE IS YOUR LEGAL GROUND FOR VICTORY.

Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 

4. THE SEAT IS YOUR PLACE OF REST AND RULERSHIP.

Hebrews 4:10, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works as God did from his.” 

5. YOU MUST SEE YOURSELF THERE BEFORE YOU REIGN FROM THERE.

Isaiah 33:20, “Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities; thine eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down.”
