God wants His
children to be at peace with Him experientially, not just intellectually or
positionally.
Experientially,
righteousness in Christ is a daily activity.
Experientially, peace
with God is achieved through being in God’s plan.
God has prepared a
plan for you, so that you can be at perfect peace with Him, while in the
world (in direct contact with the ungodly, in direct contact with the
consequences of wickedness and sin, failure,
deceit , sickness, hatred, prejudice, unfaithfulness, ungodliness) but
not of the world.
Hear the Word of the
LORD.
John 17:13-20, “And now come I to
thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy
fulfilled in themselves.
V14 I have given them
thy Word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
V15 I pray not that
thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them
from evil.
V16 They are not of
the world, even as I am not of the world.
V18 As thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world.
V19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
V20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them which shall believe on Me through their word;”
The world that
you are in, but not of is: (any and all belief systems, philosophies, religious
systems, political systems, world powers, jurisdictions, corporate powers,
businesses, partnerships, individuals, anything, any place or anyone that does
not allow the integration and recognition of Christ in them.)"
