We are not seated in heavenly places positionally, in some interpretation of our future. We are seated in heavenly places in Christ spiritually, now. The flesh and the mind want to tell us otherwise. This is the fruit of being born again in the Spirit.

Where are you go you cannot follow, but you will later. “And I go to prepare a place for you if it was not so, I would’ve told you”, “in my fathers house are many of those” Where did Jesus go? Heaven. Where did he say? His disciples were going after him? Heaven. Where ? Heaven People argue about this, I was raised a JW we never go to heaven. No one goes to heaven but 144,000, their definition of, in Christ, etc. Taken together and properly examined that is not what the Bible teaches. We will also be at some point in the future on earth. Exactly as described about Jesus. Resurrected in a human fleshly form, but with an upgraded condition. The Bible uses the word glorified we will be human times 2.0, the original plan of God. Apparently we will also be on the Earth . Apparently those two things do not conflict. But it is clear titles of Jesus for promise from his mouth with him not to mention the thief on the cross. Jesus promised he would be with him in paradise. Where is Jesus now? Heaven. I suppose you could argue to be just like the GWS dude, but that is the most accurate and proper understanding of those steps as justified by 1000 years scholars

Who is the LORD and who is his anointed one according to this prayer from Peter? Acts 4: 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: “‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 26 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against - THE LORD - and against HIS - ANOINTED ONE -. 27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against YOUR HOLY SERVANT JESUS, whom YOU ANOINTED _ JEHOVAH & His son Jesus.

At 17:00 he's trying to sell us on Calvinism Total depravity. That we are so dead in our sins that we could not possibly know God. Therefore it's so hard to evangelize and preach to others about our faith. That my friends is a cop out. You preach just as the man in Gerasenes. Jesus healed him from a legion of demons. The man begged to with Christ on the boat. Jesus sent him home saying, "No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you." So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him. Luke 8:26-39. Keep reading and you'll find Jesus Christ revisits this land that begged him to leave after they saw his great power now welcoming him and bringing their sick and seeking God's word. But how? Because 1 man in a pagen worshipping town preached and proclaimed Jesus Christ to those who were DEAD IN SIN and they heard. Adam and Eve ate of the apple and DIED. They died to sin and hid from God. Yet when God called out what were they still able too do? They could hear him, they could speak too him, they could see him. Quite amazing abilities for one dead in sin isn't it. God is with us all and we are called to disciple. All of us. So don't be afraid. Yes people will push back and not all will be receiving and don't go out expecting to witness a conversion. We're here too disciple and plant seeds. God bless and if you want more search up Dr. Norman Giesler why I'm not a 5 point calvinist.
