Ephesians 2:4-6 NASB
[4] But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, …
Colossians 3:1-3 NASB
[1] … Therefore if {since then} you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [2] Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. [3] For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. …
Ephesians 1:3 NASB
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Do you pray toward Heaven, or do you pray from Heaven. Do you pray Heaven down, or do you pray down from Heaven. We have the mind of Christ, so are thinking toward Him, or from Him. Are you looking to Heaven for answers, or are you looking from Heaven with answers. Do we believe for blessings, or from blessings. How you answer those questions says a lot about what you understand about your union with Christ, and the position you have in Him. I understand that there is a sense in which both, and are true, but the greatest reality is that you are in Christ seated in Heaven now. I know that we will go to Heaven one day, but I am there now in Christ. Instead of begging Heaven to act, or to come down, maybe we should do as the Colossians verses tell us to do, and seek those things which are above, since that is where we are {in the world but not of the world}, and find out what Heaven says about the situation, and set our minds on that {think from that perspective} and pray and believe FROM that reality.
Also, if we already have been blessed with EVERY spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ, maybe instead of begging for a blessing we should seek and discover what’s already ours and believe from those blessings, until we see the manifestation on earth. Faith doesn’t wait for manifestation; manifestation waits for faith.
Thinking, feeling, believing, and behaving from the reality of Heaven.
