Strength in heavenly places

Ephesians 2:6, Matthew 11:28-30

Some would say that it is an oxymoron that you can have strength in a heavenly place. But I beg to differ on that ideology. The Bible depicts us as sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus- Yes- But, we also must sit and walk in victory while doing so. It is about knowing who he or she is in Christ. It is not automatic that we live in victory, even though as the song says “victory is ours”.

We must walk victory out. Even with tears running down our eyes, even in embarrassment, even in tiredness, even in famine… There is always strength for the believer, and if one wants to live in strength it is a choice, and Jesus Christ is willing to take ones yoke for His yoke. It is called by some the great exchange.

In summary, enjoy walking in strength because the blessing is always behind the struggle. May the Lord bless you… No Jesus- No peace, Know Jesus- Know peace
