We make few major decisions, but each day we make many
“minor” (seemingly to us) decisions that
feed either the carnal, or the spiritual aspect of our being. The accumulation of these choices will result
in our becoming predominantly carnal, or spiritual.
As
our spiritual decisions begin to outweigh the negative pulls and responses, we
become an “overcomer.” To the extent that we rise above carnal
soulish desires, we are lifted into a place of communion with our Lord, and we
grow spiritually.
“To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in
My Throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His
Throne.” Revelation 3:21
Our position with Jesus in this “throne relationship” is the result of our overcoming (rising above) all that is earthly and carnal. We receive the privilege, or honor of being
seated with Jesus in His Throne (as His Bride) as a
result of the accumulation of the right decisions and choices that we make (being an overcomer).
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Prov. 4.24)
