From The Candlestick To The Throne - J. Preston Eby - part 138

Excerpt from the writings of J. Preston Eby:  From The Candlestick To the Throne

Furthermore, Christ is now seated on the right hand of God — He is seated there on that
right hand right there where you are, yea, even in the deepest depth of your being, so that the
throne of God is nearer to you than the air that you breathe! Christ is seated at the right hand of
power, that is, in the position where God acts, does, works, and creates, so that all God does He
does in and by and through the Son of God. And He does it right there where you are! Can we not
see by this how simple yet profound is the knowledge that we have been raised up and made to sit
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus! The spiritual dimension of God’s abilities in Christ are
being awakened and quickened within us, our Spirit joined to His Spirit, so that we sit in that
spiritual dimension by spiritual consciousness, and we haven’t moved one inch to get

There is no need to go anywhere physically to relate to God’s throne. The journey is a
spiritual one! The throne is all around you, within you, and present equally everywhere within the
realm of Spirit in which God exists and dwells. You can either experience or ascend that throne
within yourself through union with Christ and the release of His power. “All authority in heaven
and in earth is given unto me,” Jesus said. The ascension of Jesus was the supreme event of world 
history. He ascended not to a place, but disappeared into the spirit realm that is all about us and 
was caught up into an office in and by the Spirit. He departed from the arena of humiliation and
limitation to enter into His glory. He, in one instant, vaulted from the status of despised Galilean
teacher to the cosmic King of the universe, rising over the heads of Pilate, Herod, and Caesar
