About John Belt:
 Live
In His Presence Ministries was founded by John Belt. His heart is to provide
atmospheres for healing and breakthrough in worship to open the door for the prophetic
and healing waves of the manifest Presence of God. John is a creative worshipper;
he creates the songs and melodies the Spirit of God places in his heart at Live
In His Presence Studios using keyboards, guitars and vocals. Out of a great desire
to usher people into the Presence of God, he has produced instrumental CD projects
called The Soaking Presence, The Portals of Heaven, Another Realm, Prophetic Warrior,
Sacred Fire and The Eye of God. John had served at Ministry to the Nations (now
Encounters Network) for four years with James W. & Michal Ann Goll, a prophetic
ministry of training and impartation in the Presence of God. John makes his home
in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

"Seated in the
HEAVENLY Realms"
by John Belt
www.liveinhispresence.com
 Cutting
Off the Cousins
The flesh and the demonic are close cousins. The flesh represents that which revolves
around "I." It is all about striving, controlling, forcing things to happen, anxiousness,
having a "driven" mindset, stepping out ahead of time, lack of self-control, and
much, much more...Demons feed on that lifestyle. Self-consciousness, self-pity,
and any other thing that revolves around self is no threat to the powers of darkness,
but actually helps them. It is a vicious circle that is only broken by repentance,
cutting off the evil through renunciation and confrontation, cleansing of the Blood
of Jesus, and the denial of self realized in Christ's work on the cross - reckoning
one's self dead to sin and alive to God.
James 3:13-17
"But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts,
do not boast and lie against the truth. 15
This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion
and every evil thing are there." (NKJV)
Experiential Revelation
The deliverance from this sort of life must come through greater experiential revelation
of God. It begins with a choice. It comes through fulfilling our call as priests
unto God, ministering to the Lord. As we spend time in His Presence, receiving the
anointing of the Spirit, the powers of darkness begin to break off our being. We
sense a greater liberty and freedom. There then comes revelation and flow of understanding,
that the fleshly mind (headiness) would try to accomplish with much striving, only
to get a confused mixture of principles and language that does not communicate to
the heart. It is about placing ourselves in a place of receptivity. Striving in
the flesh, through our intelligence, has no role in receiving from the Spirit. Maybe
that is why God prefers to call us sheep. They are not smart...And it is required
of the sheep to stay close to the shepherd.
Condition of the Heart
It is a heart condition that draws the Lord. He is looking for a contrite and humble
spirit within us. This is where He can come. He is drawn like a magnet to the inner
life that is consecrated and devoted to communion with Him. The hunger condition
is the key that opens the door of various and diverse blessings from God. His storehouse
is full of gifts. He is the Father who has abundant gifts for abundant life, to
present and perfect the overflow in our lives.
Isaiah 57:15
"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity,
whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite
and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of
the contrite ones.'" (NKJV)
The Psalmist
The psalmist had the experience where his cup ran over. It was an abundant experience
of life and flow. Even in the psalmist realm of receiving revelation for songs of
the Spirit, David walked in the depths of flow and freedom experiencing the life
of God that came forth from the songs that carried anointing for deliverance. David
knew how to place himself under the heavenly spout to receive Heaven's deposits
into his spirit. His hands were armed with the skill of writing and his mouth brought
the release of heavenly things blowing within his being. It is those deposits from
heaven's treasury that carry the weight to deliver ourselves and others from the
heaviness and oppression of the enemy.
Seated in the Realms
No human might can break the power of evil. It has to be received from Heaven, then
released through us into the earth. So our light is only as bright as the light
that has been revealed to us from the Source of True Light. It is revelation of
the Truth that "makes" us free. It is in the heavenly realms, the "seated" position
with Christ in these realms, which places the legitimate true authority within our
hearts to rule and reign with Him. It is the seated position because it is a place
of rest. It is not a place of striving. He is seated, therefore, we are seated.
We are not standing in the heavenly realms with Christ. We are "seated." It is consistent
with the words in Hebrews where we are exhorted to "enter that rest of faith." It
is in this place of divine rest, peace, ease, and joy that we carry the weight and
authority of the Father. It will not be found in being "busybodies." It is the living
revelation in the rested place, the seated place with Christ, that we are overcomers
of the flesh and the demonic. It is easy to get busy and push, but who can stay
still and silence the noise of voices and of the soul...
Ephesians 1:3
"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..."
(NKJV)
Ephesians 1:20
"Which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the
dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places." (NKJV)
Divine Connection, Demonic Destruction
Revelation says that "they overcame him (the devil)." If we are to overcome the
devil, the flesh must be overcome first. The flesh is the inroad that the devil
travels on to bring corruption, deception, and destruction. If the flesh is overcome
in our lives there is no place for him to camp out! But conquering the flesh is
not through the weapons of the flesh, but through divine connection and perception
of God in the context of communion. Paul was concerned that the church at Corinth
would be deceived out of that place of simplicity, intimacy, and communion with
Christ. He knew that this was the only hope for victory and source of strength.
The priestly life is the foundation and the source of power for the life He calls
us to live. It is in this place that you hear. It is in this place that you see.
It is in this place that you receive. Out of fulfilling your ministry of worship
to the Lord, everything else falls into place. If you get this out of order, your
life will be out of order. It is the honor of the saints to minister at His feet.
Deuteronomy 33:2-3
"The LORD came from Sinai, and dawned on them from Seir;
He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came with ten thousands of saints; from
His right hand Came a fiery law for them. 3
Yes, He loves the people; all His saints are in Your hand; they sit down at Your
feet; everyone receives Your words."
