[Read Don't Look Up, Don't Look Up 2]
When we come to the Throne of Grace, we are not coming based on our performance or on our own righteousness. How much or how little we've done, what mistakes we may or may not have made...
We are coming in the Name of Jesus because we are one Spirit with Him.
Seated in Heavenly Places
We've seen that we're already seated in Him in heavenly places, right now, while walking around on the earth. Yes, it's a paradigm...we are, from a quantum point of view, in two places at once.
We are joined to Him—we have died, and He abides in us, with The Father and The Holy Spirit. [ref Christ in You]
When we come to the Throne of Grace, we are coming IN HIM. God sees Him and the Blood Covenant. Yes, Jesus ministers in the office of High Priest of our confession [Hebrews 3:1; 4:14], but He is also One with the one praying!
If I have died and Christ lives in me, who is praying? Who is coming boldly to the Throne of Grace?
Why is every promise of God YES in Him? [2 Corinthians 1:20] Why are we promised that if we ask ANYTHING in His Name He will do it? [John 14:14]
Because He lives in these earthen vessels! Because we are His Body and we are filled with His fulness!
When we pray, we pray IN HIS NAME! Why? Because it's our name, too...HE'S THE ONLY ONE IN THERE!!!
Yes, we must renew our minds to these precious and magnificent promises so that we can partake of the Divine nature! [2 Peter 1:4], and yes, we must crucify the flesh—take authority over it and not let it run our lives.
But we ARE one with Him now, in these earthen vessels and seated in Him in heavenly places.
So when you start to pray, come in the full knowledge and assurance that it is the One within you praying.
