In Him You Have Peace
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most
High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
(Psalm 91:1).
In Luke 21:25-26, Jesus said, in the last days,
there’ll be perplexity of nations, men’s hearts
failing them for fear. We’re living in a day when there’s
so much fear. There’s terror within and without. There’s
so much darkness, wickedness, and peril. In spite of
all these, the words of the Master in John 16:33 are
profound and comforting. He said, “These things
I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Notice the expression, “that in me ye might have
peace….” This means that it makes no difference the
extent of darkness, wickedness or terror in today’s
world; in Christ, you have power over every crisis.
You don’t have to care about the enemy and what he
will, and can do; the adversary isn’t a factor! You’re in
Christ; and you’re therefore untouchable.
To be in Christ is to be at home, and in safety.
Christ is a person and He’s also a place—our place
in God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “…if any man be in
Christ…”; that’s your place! You live in Christ; that’s
your environment. So, when you say, “I’m in Christ,”
it means you’re in safety; you’re in the secret place
of the Most High, abiding under the shadow of the
Almighty (Psalm 91:1).
No matter what happens, no matter the terror or
evil concocted by the enemy, your peace and safety
are guaranteed; refuse to fear. David said, “Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). Psalm
91:7 declares, “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and
ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come
nigh thee.” Why? It’s because you’re safe and secure
in Him. Have this consciousness all the time.
Confession
My life is hid with Christ in God; therefore, I dwell in absolute
safety and security, peace and righteousness. I’m in Christ,
shielded from every adversity and the activities of wicked and
unreasonable men. I affirm that, irrespective of the dastardly
manipulations of the enemy, I walk in victory, dominion, peace
and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
