“Christ is now in heaven, where he sits at the right side of God. All angels, authorities, and powers are under his control.”
1Peter 3:22(CEV)
Our opening shows us that Jesus Christ has the highest position in heaven, having all angels, authorities, and powers under His authority. But it is important you know that understanding Christ position will help you know where you are now positioned as a child of God.
In Ephesians 2:4-6, the Bible says, “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” So, if we are seated together with Him, that means angels, authorities and powers are subject unto us. Therefore, you need to understand that now that you are born again, all devils including satan himself is subject unto you.
This is why the Bible says to us specifically in Ephesians 1:19-23(CEV), “I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used when he raised Christ from death and let him sit at his right side in heaven. There Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well. God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the church he has made him the head of everything. The church is Christ's body and is filled with Christ who completely fills everything.”
Confession.
The Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in me, therefore I declare that resurrection power is at work in me. All forces, authorities, powers and rulers are subject unto me because I am a member of the body of Christ who is the Head of everything.
For further study read:
Colossians 3:1-4, Galatians 2:20.
