STRENGTHENING OUR FAITH

Our faith is strengthened as we set our minds on things that are "above".  
“Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 1:1-3

Lord, help us to see into the world of the supernatural so that we can walk "above", and have dominion over the natural world in which we experience and see so much sin and sorrow. For it was Your vision and great spiritual power that created and brought forth the natural world from the spiritual realm where You rule and dwell, Almighty God. “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him in heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in this age but also in the one to come.” Ephesians 1:17-21 

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:6-7 

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
