Luke 15: 1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
I mentioned before that in terms of truth we must be unwavering, as Jesus is, Who IS Truth, amen. And all those attributes demonstrated as fruit of the Holy Spirit are also embodied in Him...love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness etc., So we are located in the Spirit of Christ and He is in us, if we are born again and if we abide in Him and do not move our position.
But the location we speak of is not physical or geographical, but spiritual, as in of the Spirit...so it isn't bound or limited by any physical or geographical ....or even technological… thing.
From this sure location in the Spirit we do not stray, BUT since the Spirit has liberty, and there is liberty IN the Spirit, we see Jesus seeking out and ministering to the lost lambs as in the scripture above, and His Spirit in us is doing just that.
Because we have Him in us, we see by His Spirit, and know by His Spirit, and move by His Spirit to accomplish all things before us that He gives us to do.
In terms of our commitment to stand, i.e.., remain in this location, here is our place: we simply have to take it.
But by standing, i.e. not moving away from our commitment to the Lord and the demonstration of the powerful Gospel through all things of the Spirit....we find we have liberty to MOVE in Him.
Acts 17:28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
In HIM is our location, and He is unwavering. But He it is Who is not bound by walls and physical things...how He passed unseen in the crowds....and how He moves freely in us, if we allow Him ... and freely through us, also if we allow Him...to seek out the lost and those who are out of the way.
