418 The Authority Of The Believer #8: Risen With Christ

In Ephesians we see that the Son is seated above evil powers and has the authority of the throne of God. But this is precisely where the church world as a whole has failed. It has understood that Jesus Christ is the Supreme Head of the Church, but it has failed to understand that the Head is totally dependent on the Body for carrying out His plans; that we have been risen and seated with Christ in heavenly places; and that His exercising authority over the powers of the air has to be through the Body.
