you wicked spirit!" And certainly, authority
can be released in that.
But exercising the authority that Ephesians
2:6 describes goes much further than that. It
is a knowing not so much in the head, but by
the spirit. And it has everything to do with
position.
Let's say the Holy Spirit brings a situation
to mind that He wants you to pray about—
the nation's economy, for instance. Just the
week before, your spouse was laid oƒ work
and the pantry is nearly empty. So, sure,
you are more than glad to pray about the
national economy.
The challenge is, will you pray from the
right position?
You could easily fi nd yourself praying
from a place of being under the pressure
of the situation—a position beneath your
God-given authority. Or, by an act of your
faith, you can pray from a place above the
pressure—where you belong. Then the
circumstances must change to fall in line
with God's will because someone in a
position of authority—that's you—says so!
Obviously, this is the time when faith-
fi lled words need to pour out of your mouth—
not faith-sounding words that are really full
of fear, words that get squeezed out of you
once panic sets in over a situation.
The point is, the position you take in
prayer determines the outcome of your
prayers.
Any time you pray faith-sounding words
that are actually motivated by fear, you are
praying from a position that is beneath your
true seat of authority. And that will get you
nothing. Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24 describes
your position like this:
You have not come [as did the Israelites in
the wilderness] to a [material] mountain
that can be touched, [a mountain] that is
ablaze with fi re, and to gloom and darkness
and a raging storm, and to the blast of a
trumpet and a voice whose words make the
listeners beg that nothing more be said to
them.... You have come to Mount Zion, even
to the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes
of angels in festal gathering…and to the
God Who is Judge of all…and to Jesus, the
Mediator...of a new covenant.
God has authorized us to sit in heavenly
places with Him in the Anointed Jesus. So the
call to us today is, Come up!
Come up to a higher awareness of your
rightful position at the very throne of God.
Come up and begin to pray from a position
that is above the circumstances of this world—
and not beneath.
