To enter the presence of a holy God, we must be hidden in the righteousness of Christ. A Divine Exchange takes place at the foot of the cross: our old sin nature for His perfect one (2 Corinthians 5:17). He exchanges our list of sins for His perfect account that is totally pleasing to God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When we accept His sacrifice on our behalf, He switches accounts with us. The Bible says that in our natural sinful state we are enemies of God (Romans 5:10). No amount of self-cleansing can make us pure enough to warrant forgiveness and a relationship with a holy God (Romans 3:10-12). Our rap sheets contain every sinful thought, attitude or action we have ever committed. To be "in Christ" means we have accepted His sacrifice as payment for our own sin.

When Jesus said, "It is finished," He was stating that He had successfully paid in full for every act of rebellion, past, present, and future. What He finished on the cross was God’s plan to redeem His fallen world. As He proved three days later, that was not finished (Matthew 28:7 Mark 16:6 1 Corinthians 15:6). What was finished? Not merely His earthly life. His last words before He died were, "It is finished" (John 19:30). When Jesus took our place on the cross, He suffered the punishment our sin deserves. All the wrath God holds toward evil was poured out on His own Son. He cannot simply overlook or excuse our sin that would not be just. Colossians 3:3 says, "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." God is perfect justice. Several places in Scripture refer to the believer’s being "in Christ" (1 Peter 5:14 Philippians 1:1 Romans 8:1). First Corinthians 12:13 says, "For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body-whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink." When we respond to the Holy Spirit’s drawing, He "baptizes" us into the family of God. To be "baptized into Christ" means that they were identified with Christ, having left their old sinful lives and fully embracing the new life in Christ (Mark 8:34 Luke 9:23). There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Paul is speaking to the Christians in Galatia, reminding them of their new identity since they placed their faith in Jesus Christ. "In Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. By the end of P1 you will understand and be thankful.Galatians 3:26-28 gives us insight into the phrase “in Christ” and what it means. Yield to the Holy Spirit and trust the process. It is an ongoing Testimony.įor more information and when the next P1 is coming to you see I am a stronger man being sanctified and healed by the Lord. I am a stronger man today committed to my mission with my wife because of Mark Men. For the first time for many men, this is a David and Jonathan experience. P3 is the ongoing work with a core group of men who will become your brothers for life in Jesus and walk with you in the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in you. I Christopher Lee am a Marked Man for Christ, I co-create a world of Gospel centered love, I do this by being present, serving others, and proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ. I also understand my mission in this world as a Christian. I did not have the dramatic experience like I did with P1, but did fully come to understand my role as a Mark Man in Christ. This weekend experience is similar with P1 but in which you if yielding to the spirit of God will hone in on who you are in Christ and what your mission is. P2: P2 a two day event in which you go home at night. I also left with an awareness of who the spirit of God is. I left P1 a healed, holy man of God, revitalized for the preaching of the gospel.
I forgave and released unto to the Lord deep hidden pain.
This encounter of two wounds I carried was healed by Jesus. I overcame shame, and anger from my childhood I did not know I had. (Not in that order) Without giving away too much, P1 will change your life if you allow the spirit of God to work on you. P1: Is a 48 hour “camping” trip in which you the man if yielding to the Holy Spirit will encounter Jesus who will come upon your soul to heal the five wounds each man goes through.
Mark Men for Christ consists of three phases. To say what Mark Men is would be difficult so instead of saying what it is, let me encourage you to go. Mark Men is not a conference, it is not an event, it is not something that will leave after you do. What does that mean? First let me say what Mark Men is not. Mark Men for Christ is a ministry for men unto men. What is Marked Men for Christ? Mark Men for Christ is a ministry for men unto men.
