John 3:31 (KJV) He that cometh from above is above
all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that
cometh from heaven is above all.
Taking the verse above and connecting it with John
17:16 (NIV) They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
But where are you from if Jesus says you are not of the
world? You are from above!
Ephesians 1:20-22 (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) together with Ephesians 2:6 (And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus) confirms this.
The import of this is that you determine the course of
events here on earth not the other way round. For example, Jesus referred to
Lazarus who was dead for four days and the Jairus daughter as being asleep
(imposition of heavenly authority) when infact they were dead (earthly
reality). Eventually, when Jesus got there, having spoken the word ahead, he
raised them both as if they were just sleeping.
He called forth Lazarus with a loud voice (no one attempts
to call a dead man, only a sleeping man or a man far away would one attempt his
attention with a loud voice).
He held the little girl's hand and simply told her to rise
up, just like anyone would raise a sleeping child.
Jesus walked and acted in the reality of his declarations.
If you care to do the same you would get the same results. Why? because 'Herein is
our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because
as he is, so are we in this world' (1John 4:17).
