Ridiculous Peace

Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near.

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,

Philippians 4:4-6

Be full of joy in the Lord in every challenge of life. How do we do this? By recognizing we ARE in union with Jesus. The God man of Christianity has paid the way for us to be 100% plugged in. We need to stop empowering darkness by constantly fighting distraction. The key to fighting distraction is acknowledging your perfect union with God. These objective truths become subjective when we obsess over them and hold them in our hearts (Also called abiding in his word. Ref. John 15). 

We are righteous before him. We are holy and blameless before the Lord (Ephesians 1). There is no separation between us and him (2 Corinthians 3). The lie of separation keeps us from the greater abiding we desire. You can’t progress constantly viewing your lack in the Lord. Peering into this fulllness on our behalf is the key. He is enough. His sacrifice is enough. His love secures in the Holy of Holies. 

Don’t be pulled. Don’t let your heart be separated into different things. We are one with Christ.
