*[[Eph 1:3]]* Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
*[[Eph 1:20]]* Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
*[[Eph 2:6]]* And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
*[[Eph 3:10]]* To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
A thought about Messiah in us. We often talk about what our part of living out our Christianity is. When God speaks to us it is Christ in us who does the work. The scripture tells us this in verses saying it is no longer I but Christ in me, or the life I now live I live by the power (source) of Christ, or that It is God who both wills and does in us. So it is true that when YHWH speaks in our life that He fully expects us to trust and allow Yeshua to do the work in and through us by the means of His Spirit.
What to me gets less attention is this principle works in the opposite direction also. When YHWH speaks to Yeshua He expects we are to do what is said.
Since his resurrection God has given Yeshua one command which we must fulfill. "Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool."
So as Jesus works in and through us on the earth, we are to rest in and through him in heaven.
We enter this rest not by our strength or will or authority or action but we are placed there by faith.
A note on faith; it is not a force that is wielded.The Messiah is its author...He plants a seed in our heart and Gives it increase until it bears much fruit. So YHWH says rest until I make your enemies your footstool and as we trust YHWH to do his word he does what he says; we frustrate this grace when we try to do some part.
