First heaven, second heaven, third heaven, and all the
heavenly places.

Heaven is not some far off, far away place. It is actually a realm in our very midst! We can experience heaven now. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3)
We are seated with Christ, here and now because of the work done at the Cross. To be earthly minded or carnal minded is when my mind is stayed on the world, and the things of the world, and my carnal thought can knock me right off my heavenly seat. [not really, but we soon forget where we are seated] I forget too quickly the authority that I have been given in that heavenly position. I must shake the worldly thoughts out of my head, worldly thinking, worldly reasoning, and climb back up in my heavenly seat right beside Christ. This is the realm that I am called to live in - ruling and reigning with Christ so I can be more effective here on earth - On earth as it is in Heaven...
I want to be saturated with heaven so I can make a difference on earth. I love to travel and discover earthly places but I crave to know the heavenly places that I have been reading about . I want to have the same passion in discovering heavenly places and all it holds for me. It is a part of my Christian walk. The book of Ephesians says that I am seated in heavenly places. Not that I could be, or that I should work at it, but rather I am there positionally already!
