Location of the Spiritual War

heavenlies -- ejpouravnioV 2032 heavenly, what pertains to, or is in, heaven

Christ is seated in the heavenlies by the Father

  • Eph. 1:20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],  

 

Believers are seated in the heavenlies because we are in Christ

  • Eph. 2:5-6 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,  

 

Believers are blessed because we are in Christ in the heavenlies

  • Eph. 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ

 

The spiritual battle between believers and evil forces in the heavenlies

  • Eph. 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities (746) , against powers (1849) , against the rulers (2888) of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness (4189) in the heavenly [places].

 

The church is a demonstration of the grace of God to the evil forces in the heavenlies

  • Ephesians 3:8-12 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities (746) and powers (1849) in the heavenly [places], 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

 

"Are you living an abundant, victorious Christian life?"


The Path to Godliness Leads through the Valley of Suffering

1 Corinthians 12:26-27  And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.  27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
