A couple of years ago Bro. Leo made a statement that has stuck with me.  He said “You can not know something that you haven’t learned and you can not experience something that you don’t know”.  I believe that statement to be very true, which makes Bro. Leo’s series on the  ascension of Jesus Christ even more critical to know.  Ignorance of the power that is available to us is why Christians continue to lose battles such as the “bathroom” laws that are being vetoed and shot down all over America right now.  By learning where Jesus is now and what He is doing,  we will be enabled to experience the power, authority and victory that Jesus has setting on the right hand of God.

In today’s message Bro. Leo continues our study on the ascension with part 2 of last weeks message.   The Bible teaches us that Jesus is sat down on the right hand of God after His ascension into heaven (Mark 15:19, Heb. 1:3, Heb. 8:1).   The “right hand of God” represents the power of God ( Matt. 26:634-64).  It is this power that enables God to place His enemies under foot (Psa. 11:1) and God’s enemies are the very same enemies that we battle every day.  God will place our enemies under foot because He is for us (Psa. 56:9).

“You can not know something that you haven’t learned and you can not experience something that you don’t know”  Paul understood this statement and prayed for all believers to understand and experience the power of Christ at the throne (Eph. 1:16, 18-23).  When we learn where and what Christ is doing now we are enabled to tap into those powers, authority and victory by simply talking to the one who sits on the right hand of God (Rev. 4:1-5, 8-11,  Rev. 5:8-10).
