“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame…”
Revelation 3:21a (NKJV)
Have you ever used the little phrase “under the circumstances”? Once when we were having a tremendous crisis, I said to someone, “Under the circumstances, I think I’m doing quite well.”
The Lord spoke back to me, “What are you doing UNDER the circumstances? You’re supposed to be ON TOP OF the circumstances.” Revelation 3:21a certainly reaffirms that promise! If we want to sit with Jesus in heavenly places, we’re going to have to sit in the overcoming position.
Do you have some circumstances that are bowing you under? Do you feel crushed under the weight of situations that seem beyond your control? Take hold of God’s promise for “overcomers.” Confess God’s Word that you will sit on the throne with Jesus, far above the cares of all worldly problems. We can’t be under the circumstances; we must be on top of them. Jesus is in us, so He gives us the power to overcome and sit in heavenly places too.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You today that I am not under my circumstances. I am above them. In fact, I am sitting high above my circumstances and command them to line up with Your Word.
In the Name of Jesus,
Amen.
