Heavenly dimensions,an open door.

Ephesians 2:6
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

Interesting verse here…seems like we live in 2 places. On the one hand, there is the nasty now and now, which seems all to real at times.

There is also the spiritual dimension where we are risen with Christ. We are walking in the halls of heaven.

Hebrews says we have come to the city of the living God; to Jesus, to the festal gathering of saints, to myriads of angels, even to spirits of men made perfect. The writer says emphatically that “we have come to this place,this spirirtual dimension. One translation says “remember where you stand”. We are there!


Paul prayed that our spiritual eyes would be opened to see it.After all,he was a man who was taken to the third heaven.

Eye has not seen,yet Paul says God reveals these things to us by his Spirit.
Revelation is there for us,God eagerly desires to show us more,things we have never seen before!

The kingdom of God is within,so ,apparently a dimension is in us now,accessable by going within.,and getting in touch with Christ within.

Jesus said,I am the door..

Door to what?

The door is an interesting study.

To the church of Philadelphia, Jesus says, "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." To these people who have kept His word and not denied His name, the door is open.

To the Laodiceans he says, "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot" and "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." To these people, the door is closed. Notice, its up to the individual to open the door.

The first is a sign to the saved of the church. The door has been opened and no one has the power to close it again (OSAS, but that's another post). The second the door has never been open. These are not saved people because Jesus is not among them, He is outside. Remember, Jesus said that if two or more gather in His name, He will be in the midst of them, the exact opposite of what is happening here.

John 10:9 "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."

Jesus is the door of the sheep. We(born again ones) are the sheep. We have to go thru the door(Jesus) to be sheep(born again ones).

Jn 10:7
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
KJV

Once a person goes in(born again) then he goes out with Jesus(word) which leads to green pastures.

Jn 10:9
I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
KJV

 

[Elijah2]

I always believed HE was the DOOR, because HE said that you cannot go to our Heavenly Father except through HIM.

Good verse about Jesus coming in to sup with us. He wants to get that close.

The message to the Philadelphians also says He holds the key of David. The keys to the kingdom!

I think Ephesians 2:6 is talking about two things; our union with Christ and our place of authority in union with him.

Because of our union with christ we were raised up together with Christ and therefore we share together in authority. Because of this, all things, including the demonic realm, are put under our feet and we are to exercise this authority in the here and now.

Hi neph
Seems like Jesus inhabited eternity,and earth at the same time.

He trumped time and space continually by breaking natural law.IE..walking on water and more.

Yet he was subject,or at least allowed himself to be subject to natural 3rd dimension rules.

He once slipped out of their hands,or he could have called down legions of angels to help Him,or even disappear.

The suffering of the cross was total compliance to the earthly rules.

How awesome to pick and choose..when to be subject to natural law,and when to not be.
