IN CHRIST

October 13, 2014

In movies, we always see that when there is trouble or rumors of war in a foreign country where there are Americans, the first thing is for all Americans to find their ways to their Embassy in that country. Once they are in there, no military force can take them away. I learnt also that no foreign military force can make an arrest of any person while in the American embassy, but the moment you step out of there, you are physically and spiritually on your own.

Do you remember those times when we were younger, that we would have caused trouble somewhere and when we get pursued by people so we could be beaten, we run and the moment we see an elderly person, we hide behind his/her back and in 99% of my own experience, that would be the end of the trouble. The scripture says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Rom 8:1)

When you are in Christ, you become untouchable to evil because the scripture says that no one can trouble those with the mark of Jesus Christ. You are protected, insured and assured as long as you remain in Christ which is why Apostle Paul said in Rom 8:38 & 39 that, “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Outside of Christ is dirt, shame, reproach, lack, want, sickness, disease, disappointment, condemnation, fear, confusion, frustration, etc., but if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Always remember that the name of the LORD is a strong tower.

You cannot be in Christ and remain in crisis.
