Heavenly Realms

Ephesians 2:4-6 " Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions..and God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus"
This is our rightful place.."seated with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus"..yet seated..and still. But how few of us actually experience this. In fact, most of us feel that it's impossible to sit still "in the heavenly realms" while living our everyday life in a world so full of turmoil.
Oh, we believe it may be possible to visit these "heavenly realms" on Sundays or now and then during times of great spiritual emphasis and praise..but to actually "be seated" there all day, every day..is a completely different matter. Yet it is clear from the scriptures that it is meant not only for Sundays, but for weekdays as well.
There is tremendous power in stillness. A great believer once said "All things come to him who knows how to trust and to be silent". This fact is rich with meaning, and a true understanding of it would greatly change our ways of living. Instead of continuing our restless striving, we would "sit down" inwardly before the Lord, allowing the divine forces of His Spirit to silently work out the means to accomplish our goals and aspirations.
You may not see or feel the inner workings of His silent power, but rest assured, it is always mightly at work. And it will work for you, if you will only quiet your spirit enough to be carried along the the current of His power.
