"But God, Who is rich in mercy, for his great love where-with He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together In Christ, and has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 4-7

My Glorious Beloved, as you watch events being played out on the world scene, as you witness atrocities against not only you, but your God every day, even to circumstances in your own lives accelerating to a point, you wonder, what is the answer? My question to you, is "Where are you living? Where is your focus?"

With the evil penetrating the world, it is good to know what is happening, for I would not have you ignorant of man's devices, but also know that I have the answers for you as to what you should or should not be doing in this - BUT this is not to 'consume' you or your time ... for you are to be dwelling with Me, sitting in Heavenly Places.

As for your own circumstances, be it health, finances, pressures and afflictions, some for days, some for months and even some for years, you will see your God do a dramatic turnaround on your behalf. For 'some' - you will "die off" once again, until next time. Around and around you go, still not seeing that the I AM is in complete control knowing I WILL deliver you out of ALL! Now is the time for My Beloved to stand once and for all, KNOWING, that because you dwell with Me in Heavenly Places, that all else will come to naught!

'I want to make it very clear' that you have been raised up and you sit jointly with Christ! For my Chosen Ones, this is the only place for you to be. It should be foreign to you to even think or see the earth, this carnal place, as being where you abide.

Beloved, 'you are in Christ', then why do the troubles of life perplex you? The enemy seeks to keep the waters muddied, but the I AM brings even the muddiest of waters to crystal clear. You should know the end from the beginning for My Word is in you. As My Zion People, you are to stand on the mountain top, not 'existing' in the valley.

I ask you "Whose report do you believe?" Do you continually focus on current world happenings and evil penetrating everywhere - thus living out the vision that you behold? Or do you live in the heavenly realm, the very realm that should constantly be your habitation in these days walking with Me in the spirit? Dwelling with Me, these are My Overcomers who I have called and chosen with no fear of anything that is earthly. I have chosen you for My mighty work and the time is upon you that all shall come to pass - I say to you this day, "You are not to live in fear, but Fear your God and Live." As with this evil in the world or with anything plaguing your life, I only allow so much to happen and then NO FURTHER when I will stand up in the midst of the storms and speak "Peace, Be Still."

Therefore, my question to you is simple - are your thoughts so consumed with world events and the evil they are propagating, if so, then you are completely missing the spiritual things of your God. Do you spend more time with Me in heavenly places or do you spend more time with the present spiraling down of the world?

Where are you sitting? Whether it be in a car driving, relaxing in a recliner, or not sitting at all, watching my beautiful sunset, enjoying the beauty around you in My creation, showing My love to others, praying for each other and abiding with Me in heavenly places.

You, My Glorious Beloved are connected with Christ, in heavenly places. At present this planet is under the administration of the evil one, and make no mistake, it is 'he' who is the administrator, working through men. Sadly, these men are living in the valley of the shadow of death and they shall reap what they have sown, going from this carnal life to death.

BUT YOU, My Beloved, you have gone from death to life, you have sought to sit higher than earthly events, in heavenly places -and oh the rewards as you witness people being set free, healed, raised from the dead, the greater things that I will carry out through you amidst a troubled world.

I have prepared you for such a time as this - and as you move forward, you will always hear "Fear Not! For I AM WITH YOU" because you sit with Me in heavenly places.
