Eph.2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

We are raised up with Christ Jesus now, and where is Christ Jesus seated right at this moment? In heaven at his Fathers right hand, in incorruptiblity full of glory. This is the power and gift given us in our sinful bodies. We have an endless power supply in Christ Jesus; old men will faint and and young men will grow weary, but those hoping in Jehovah will mount up with wings of eagles, and will not tire out, for their God is full of dynamic power and energy.

Isa.40:30 Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; 40:31 But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

We have the power of Christ Jesus the exact representation of God in us, he is the eternal life. But what kind of power do we have? Is it the power in creating lawful institutions too control human behavior in serving God? No! Not at all, it is the power that the world does not know; the power of God's love, in us, in overcoming this world in victorious glory for God name. The power in Christ Jesus goes beyond the law, that is, the law controlling physical people by a displays of fearful power. No, instead, we have the eternal life dwelling in us; Christ Jesus, and his power to change hearts into godly men and woman. No government on earth has every wheeled such glorious power.

Christ Jesus did not take up his Kingdom power in striking observableness, no, he did not, nor has he presently done so, but why? Because he is entrusted with all of God's power? Which power of destruction is exactly what physical people think of when claiming Christ Jesus power, but it not God's way. God's way is love, not judgment; if it were judgment then the issue of disobedience would have been finished at the world wide flood in Noah's day.

But disobedience and the cause of it, was not dealt with at the flood, so God will deal with it completely in His new heavens, and in a new earth where Jesus Christ righteousness will dwell. That is, by the power of love overturning strongly entrenched things of human reasoning; Christ Jesus will wheeled a perfect power in humility bring refreshing waters of his government in kindness and goodness; creating new personalities conforming people to God's new commandment of love.
