To be seated in heavenly places is to be seated with Christ. This is far above all principalities and powers. We are in a position to shoot down the enemies' plans because Satan is only the prince of the air. We are far above his position, for he is only allowed within the perimeters of earth's dominion. He and his demons were cast down to the earth when Jesus rose triumphant from the grave at His resurrection and took captivity; that is Satan and his devilish works, captive. He has since that time had no access to God's throne but we in Christ and His righteousness have direct access to the Father in Jesus' name.
