LIVE WHERE THE WICKED ONE CAN'T TOUCH YOU !

LIVE WHERE THE WICKED ONE CAN'T TOUCH YOU ! It lifts us to the place where we are so wrapped up in His love and light and so free from fear that the wicked one touches us not. That's what happened to the apostle John and Paul. They got to the point where they were so far beyond the devil's reach, no one could kill them without their permission. "I thought Paul was beheaded !" Yes, but not before he said, "I am ready to be offered." He laid down his life on purpose. He had finished his race and chose martyrdom because he wanted a higher class of resurrection. Study it out for yourself. Paul had already whipped death at every turn. He'd been delivered from shipwrecks and dungeons and all kinds of other perilous situations. He'd even been stoned to death once. But God brought him back to life and he got up, dusted himself off and went back to work. The apostle John had the same kind of testimony. His opponents tried every way you can imagine to kill him. History tells us they boiled him in oil and he still wouldn't die. So they threw him away. They took him out to the isle of Patmos, hoping to shut him up, and he wrote the book of Revelation while he was there. Another early disciple who walked in that kind of death-defying love was Stephen. He had such a Revelation of the thing of God while people were stoning him, he said, "Lord, forgive them. Don't charge them with this sin." Most people think the stoning kill Stephen, but they're mis-taken. While they were stoning him the heavens open up, he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of Almighty God ready to receive him, and he "fell asleep." Jesus withdrew him from his body while they were throwing rocks at him. He said, "Come on home, boy !" And Stephen popped out of his body. He Went to Be with the Lord, and his flesh just fell down dead. They didn't kill him with the rocks. You can't kill a man who is already dead. He had already died in Christ ! So have we ! The place where the wicked one touches us not--- that's where THE BLESSING is taking us ! We may not be there physically yet, but we're on the way. With every step of love we take, we're getting closer, and THE BLESSING is overtaking us more and more. All three of the citizens of the kingdom of God ran their race with love, faith and patience.
