Attitude & approach 'Free in Christ' ✝️🙏🏽🙌🏽

The crucifixion & the tearing of the veil represents the Father's heart being open to us beyond any obstacle, distraction or middle person. Even though today our hearts & minds pose as obstacles to His presence He welcomes us to Him with & opens the door for us to acknowledge Him as our Father. He enables us & qualifies us to dwell in His presence.

Our inferiority & insecurity of our sin tricks us into believing that we're unfit to be His children. However, the fact remains that that blood of Jesus was shed for us to embolden us in Him, His promises & our place in His kingdom.

'And so, it was that they all escaped safely to land. Acts 27:44b. We could see that this was one of the most catastrophic sea voyages described in the Scripture. We frequently come across words “winds coming against, difficulty, dangerous, disaster, loss, no sun, no star, no food for several days, determined to kill”.
With all these disapproving statements, we see that finally the crew and the passengers – 276 in total - reached the shore without physical harm.
Do you know the reason? Three men who served and carried the presence of God Almighty were there in the ship. Paul, Luke and Aristarchus! They believed the promise of God. They were under the supremacy of their Creator! They were prisoners – yet free men in Christ Jesus.
Such men of God would certainly lead the voyagers to the destination.

A variety of factors, including nationality, race, family, education, occupation & most importantly actions & decisions, are widely considered to be the definition & identity of an individual.

However, the Word teaches us otherwise that our identity as individuals is not defined by any earthly factors but by our Father in heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:10
"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me"

And it goes on reassure us that our identity is sealed in heaven long before our existence.

Philippians 3:20
"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ"

And no earthly factor could challenge our identity in Christ but solely on His grace & mercies.

Romans 9:16
"It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy."

The name of Jesus is replaced with inadequate phrases like 'in your name' or 'in his name' in our prayers. However, the authority of Jesus is applied only when one pronounces His name as 'Jesus'. When the authority is vested upon you and me, specifically in the name of Jesus, We need to declare it and there is no other replacement for His name.

When claim His name, your prayers will, not only, fall in order, but also, hold power & authority. Your words will hold authority & you'd be sealing what is written. Therefore, pronouncing His name is of the highest priorities in our prayers.

I know the outcome of the battle I am facing
It is victory
As a child of God, I'm certain of the result
So why do I have to worry or panic
I will face this battle with praise and thanks giving
I will worship God through it
I will continue to walk in the path He has prepared for me
I will fix my eyes on Him
And that's how I fight my battles

Psalms 62 : 5-8 and 11-12
Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;
unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.

There are times when we can get so caught up in our situations we end up losing sight of God and all that He has done for us in the past. I pray that we learn to never take our focus off of Jesus and that we learn to wait on Him even if things don’ t seem to go according to plan, realising that our God is a covenant keeping God, a powerful God, a compassionate and loving God who is our rock , our salvation and our fortress.
