In Christ

Joseph Prince has become one of my favorite?authors so I want to share one of his recent devotions with you as it blessed my heart… 

 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”?John 15:5

In this verse, Jesus says, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” He did not say, “I am the vine, try to be the branches.”  In other words, He wants us to realize that we are already the branches.  We do not have to struggle to become the branches.

As His branches, we only have to abide or remain in Christ our vine.  How do we do that?  We do that by simply being conscious every day of our position in Christ. Because we have received Christ, we are in Christ and are accepted in the Beloved. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 1:6)  God accepts us because we are in the Beloved and He is in us.  And that is how God sees us today when we come into His presence.

What the devil wants to do then is to get you to focus on your condition instead of your position in Christ.  The condition you are facing could be financial lack or deteriorating health.  The devil wants you to focus on your condition and forget your position — that you are the righteousness of God in Christ and that you are seated with Him in heavenly places at the Father’s right hand.  (2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 2:6)  He wants you to forget that you are an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. (Romans 8:17)

The devil knows that once you focus on your position in Christ, it will give you the power to change your condition and circumstances.  John 15:5 says that you will bear much fruit.  This means that when you pray against any lack, abundant supply will flow.  When you pray for healing, sickness will leave.

My friend, none of these things can happen by your own doing, but by His life which flows through you.  Just as sap flowing through the branches of a vine will cause them to bring forth fruit, His life flowing through you will bring forth a bountiful harvest of prosperity, healing and miracles.  You only need to remain conscious of who you are in Christ!
