Right at the beginning of 2023, the Lord showed me two scriptures:
Jeremiah 13:15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud.
Jeremiah 13:18 …Take a humble seat.
Take a seat where? With Christ. Christ is most humble and that’s why He was raised up to be most high. When we take a humble seat we are with the Most High. When we take a seat of pride we are as low as the lowest.
Ephesians 2:6 God made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Taking a humble seat is to set affections on things above where Christ is. It is to sit and learn and know who we are in the Father through Christ.
Colossians 3:2-3 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When the enemy tempts you with the lie that you are alone, rejected, or not enough, not worthy, remind him of this Word. You are sitting in a heavenly company, a company that is not temporary that comes and goes, but a permanent company, a family.
This is a calling. A calling to closeness with Christ, as close as sitting with Him, hidden in Him so He can raise us up when He wills. We don’t have to strive for anything, He will “show us off” or send us when He sees fit. Just like the Father sent Jesus (who was hidden and sitting with God) with a purpose so he will send us at the right time. Until then, we are to take a humble seat and learn from Jesus.
