Ephesians 1:17-20, these 3 positions offer us the spirit of wisdom, revelation, knowledge and understanding if we know our positions in Christ. The hope of our calling is heirs. We are justified in this position as sons and have heavenly birthrights, thus the "ring" of the prodigal son. "Our inheritance" is our adoption as the "eldest son" under the Abrahamic covenant. In this position we are "sanctified" and have earthly birthrights, the "shoes" of the prodigal son. Seated in Christ. The third position is the position of "knowledge for" healing. We are royal priests in the body of Christ; this is our position of "our power". Putting on Christ in his full stature (power, Acts 2), we are a sweet savour of Christ; and he cannot deny himself...we have "priestly" birthrights", 2 Peter 2:9. This is the "robe" of the prodigal and we come before the father as a church; head and body of Christ with "all power and all authority of Christ. Standing in his image (holy spirit) pure, clean and holy without spot or blemish. So call the elders (pastor and men) and have people healed, a church that is a spiritual Christ, before the father.
