We have more riches and indirect power than adam. Because the Second Adam has obtained everything by rite. And we are in the Second Adam. So that we own nothing on this earth, it all belongs to Christ and yet we own everything by being in Him. And yet we have no rite to claim any personal reason to have anything. But we could have all of it by His willing it to be. And we have been given more than Adam had. We share in the fellowship in Christ who is the triune God. So that we have been given the resurrection power to accomplish His will. Our rule is by His rite to rule, by our being represented by His authority. Now we can ask whatever we will and He will give it to us, but we must ask in faith not wavering. If we ask anything according to His will He hears us. So that we have all the spiritual riches at our asking. And yet if we had the amount of power that He could give we would disappear by it.

We must see that every part of our lives has a potential to be absolutely secured by His ownership of what we lack. In Him we have access to His throne of grace, a grace that has no limits. We can go to Him with any request of HIs will , with the absolute smallest request and He will hear us. Our access to Him is our confidence that we rule over all things in Him. If we would consider reaching our full potential by His being our advocate, we would not worry about any power ruling us. If we knew that in His throne is the ending of all of our troubles having an effect on us, then we could experience His being our present advocate! If He wanted us to rule a nation, then it would happen. If he want us to discover something that would be new then it would happen. If He wanted to get glory out of our suffering, then it is His ruling in us that will be our ruling in heaven! God has all things under control, and we have access to His working these things out by our being in Christ. We are kings and preist of the Most High!
