(You’re Above All Things)
TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 1:22 AMPC
“And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church].”
LET’S TALK
The Bible declares that God has placed all things under the feet of Jesus—an incredibly powerful and profound truth.
If all things are under Jesus’ feet, it means they are also under the Church, which is His body. Jesus is the head, and the Bible refers to the Church as ‘the fullness of Him’ (Ephesians 1:23). This implies that without the Church, Jesus is incomplete in this world.
Think of your physical body: your head is at the top, followed by the rest of your body, right down to your feet.
Regardless of your position or what you stand on, even the lowest part of your body—the tips of your toes—is above your standing point or what you’re standing on.
So, when the Bible says God has placed all things under the feet of Jesus and made Him the head over all things for the sake of His body, the Church, it means that, as a member of the body of Christ, it doesn’t matter what role you occupy in the Body or what place you hold in the Body of Christ. As long as you’re in Christ, you’re above all things.
My sincere desire is that every member of the Body of Christ will understand this truth. In the Body of Christ, no one is insignificant.
Even if you think you’re insignificant, you’re still above all things. This has nothing to do with your own might or ability; it’s the result of who you are—a member of the body of Christ.
You’re above sickness and disease, above Satan, darkness, and death. You’re above the deception, corruption, falsehood, and crippling influences that afflict people’s lives in this natural world. You’re above the world!
Always remember who you are; as Jesus is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). Just as He is seated in dominion and great glory, far above all principalities, powers, might, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come, so are you.
Therefore, reign and rule over the world, for He has placed all things under your feet. Hallelujah!

Speak:
I take advantage of the might and dominion of Christ, His power and glory, to break the influence of Satan over the nations, over the peoples, over the leaders, and over all young people around the world! God’s righteousness fills the earth and mantles the hearts of men, for all souls belong to Him. Hallelujah!
