I recently asked God to help me picture 'being seated with Him in heavenly places.' The Bible tells us we are to enter into the rest of God. It is the same place as the peace of God, and of abiding in love.
I had a picture of Jesus and myself chating, in a relaxed manner, reclining in big cream leather seats with chrome frames! We were in a big room very high up.
David says we are to lie down in green pastures. This is not necessarily a physical lying down as much as a true rest of the wearied soul. We can be very productive, take big decisions, astonish onlookers, and still remain in the rest of God.
To abide in this state we must make quality decisions to conduct our lives in a Kingdom way. We must have decided that Jesus is reliable and in control. We are seated with Him in heavenly places. Our spirit is in his presence while our bodies do his work on earth.
(Ephesians 1v20)
