THEME: Our Position in Christ.

Scriptures: Matthew 8:5-12 The Roman centurion, Numbers 13:30-32 Joshua and
Caleb, Zachariah 4:6-7 Zerrubabel
When we are under authority we are in authority. Authority comes as a result of
position. We can function according to our position.
Message Quotes:

21 To the faithful in Christ Jesus, now, this letter’s addressed to those, not to the
outside world, not to… It’s not a sermon. Paul wasn’t preaching here to the
unsaved. He was preaching it to the saved, the called out, the separated, the set
aside, and the faithful in the call.

Now, that’s who he’s address it to, in Jesus. The believer’s position is in
Christ. And Christ will only meet the believer… The believer can only worship
Christ as he is positionally placed in Christ.

I don’t believe you get it. Let me go another route. Look. A believer cannot
worship and has no right to worship… No man has no right to worship the Lord,
outside of being in the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Did you know that? If we
had time to go back and pick up the laws on that, it would be beautifully. He who
is addressing it to the believer in Christ…

182 “Heavenly places.” Oh, how I wish I had time! Here I’ve got it marked right
here in my Bible, about Heavenly places, what is Heavenly places. Heavenly
places, just for a moment, is “the believer’s position in Christ,” see, “where the
believer stands in Christ,” in Heavenly places.

13 Now, if we can find our position and know that it’s God’s Word that has
promised it… That’s the reason Joshua and Caleb had no fear that they could not
take the—the promised land. Because all the rest of the nine came back, or the ten,
and said, “We can’t do it. Why, those cities walled high, and we look like
grasshoppers up side the people. They’re so big and they’re armed,” and said, “We
just can’t do it.” See, they were looking at the sense of reasoning.
You can’t look at the sense of reasoning; you’ve got to look at the promise of
God. Now, God had already sent His Angel, and the Angel was in the camp
moving on. And the revelation of God had brought the Word of God manifested.
And now they was ready to push into the promised land.

14 Therefore, Joshua and Caleb had all—all promises was to them, for God had
promised He was going to give them the land. And then they waited all this time,
and then after while the Holy Ghost came down to Moses, a Pillar of Fire formed
over them, and they—and followed It. And here It was, right up here at the
promised land now ready to push over. So he could believe it, because God’s
promises is unfailing. They are the truth.

176 The Roman soldier, the centurion, he was convinced, if he could only get
Jesus to say the Word. Listen to that soldier, a Roman, Gentile, heathen. He said,
“I’m a man under authority. I say to this man, this soldier, ‘You go here,’ and he
goes. And I say to this one, ‘Come,’ and he comes.” Why? He was over him. What
was he testifying? “Jesus, You are over all diseases. You’re over it all. If I can just
hear You say the Word, my servant will live. I’m thoroughly convinced.”
