Read Ephesians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 1:20-23

Biblical Context

God raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the heavenly places, far above all powers. He made Him the head over all things for the church, which is His body.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you that the Father wrought this in me - Christ raised in my own consciousness, seated at the right hand of God in the heavenly senses. I am now far above every principality, power, might, and dominion, and every name that can be named, whether in this world or the one to come, because I have accepted the Headship of my inner life. All things are under my feet as I acknowledge that I am the body, the church, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. This is not distant history but a present state of awareness. When I dwell in that exalted frame - feeling the I AM as the ruling principle, my thoughts, feelings, and circumstances align with that high position. The inner head governs the outer scene and the outer scene reflects the inner unity. The cosmos and my days become a chorus of harmony, not struggle, as I live from the elevated consciousness that fills everything.

Practice This Now

Imagination-act: In quiet, assume the risen-state as mine—'I am seated with Christ in the heavenlies'—and feel the power as real now; revise any troubling thought by affirming, 'This moment is ruled by my I AM presence.'
