2. Many Christians are pursuing
blessings they already have. We do
not have to beg God to bless us
because He has already given us
every spiritual blessing in heavenly
places.
We are seated in a position of
spiritual authority far above lack,
sickness, harm, and any other
problems found on this earth.
Through His Word, we have
everything we need to be triumphant
Christians
3. “Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places”
Eph. 1:3
1. Many times we chase after
blessings we already have; we
pursue victory that has already
been won.
• In other words, everything we need
for this life is in the Word of God.
• It’s important for us to know where
to find these blessings so that we
can partake of them.
4. Jesus came to deliver us from
bondage and position us to
receive from the Father .
Eph.1:16-23
1. In Jesus’ earthly ministry, He
had authority and dominion.
• Now, because of Him, we have that
same authority and dominion.
• We don’t have to chase what we
already have; we have wisdom, health,
and deliverance within our born-again
spirits.
5. 2. Satan wants us to believe that we lack
these blessings.
• For example, God had given Adam the
wisdom and intelligence to name all the
animals.
• However, Satan tempted Adam and Eve,
convincing them that the forbidden tree
would make them wise.
• They allowed Satan to convince them that
they didn’t have something they already
possessed.
6. God loved us so much that He
sent His Son to die for us, even
while we were sinners, dead in
sin (Eph. 2:4-6, AMP ).
1. God made us right in His eyes—not
because we deserved it—but because
of His love for us.
• We are no longer bound to sin (or enslaved
by sin). Jesus has given us the victory
over sin.
• We were born sinners, shaped in iniquity;
however, when we made Jesus the Lord
of our lives, we were made righteous.
• “For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him” (2
Corinthians 5:21).
7. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know
that your labour is not in vain in the Lord”
1 Cor. 15:57, 58
1. Our triumph in the Christian life
is always in Christ (2 Cor.
2:14).
• Therefore, we should take our
seat in heavenly places with Him.
8. 2. “Submit yourselves therefore
to God. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you” James 4:7
• Resist means to actively fight
against.
• Our fight is in maintaining what
we have.
• Victory and success have already
been given to us through Christ
Jesus.
