LIVING ON HIGH

Never live in a lesser place than where God has called you to, and He has called you up on high to live with Him...Through Christ, He has given you power "over all the power of the enemy" (Luke 10:19).)
God wants His people to live in the place of authority! Absolute dominion in the spirit realm. He has called us to "reign with Him"
(2 Timothy 2:12), to reign with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! He said, "All authority ["power," KJV] has been given to Me in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18). This is power that is ours as we become one with Him. Certainly, the Enemy has power. But we have "all power"! All power over Enemy and our own flesh. Paul lived in it and so can we. God wants us to live in the place where we wield this power. We have power over the power of the Enemy, but all too many  believers live under the power of the Enemy- under sickness, under poverty, under bondage to sin. "Brethen, these things ought not to be so" (James 3:10). What the man of God saying was, never settle for anything less than complete victory. It is one thing to be going through a trial fighting, quite another to be stuck having resigned oneself to it. Too many have grown to accept their difficulties. Why? The "spirit of slumber" (Roman's 11:8KJV) that they have allowed to overtake them does not permit them to see or hear anything differently. 
Do you again see the man of secret in the above excerpt from his sermon? He didn't  accept anything less than God's best. The secret of the "flames of fire" (Hebrew 1:7) is the secret of being filled with God!
The hunger brings the desperation, brings the breakthrough, brings the awakened spirit, brings the revelation, brings the authority, brings power, brings the victory, brings everything God has for us and everything that we'll ever need, until we are totally filled with God.
You can live "on high" (Hebrew 1:3) with Him and "reign with Him" 2 (Timothy 2:12) as you are filled with God.
