As used and defined by this ministry, occupation with Christ has two parts, both are temporary, but the second is more on a full-time basis:
1). Fellowship: This is our daily walk with the Lord in Fields of Grace, which begins at spiritual birth. It is temporarily lost due to perpetual sin, but fellowship is regained or reactivated by the Holy Spirit, each time we name our sins to God (1 John 1:9); therefore, when we are in fellowship, we are occupied with Christ.
2). At Spiritual Maturity: When the believer is living his/her life to the maximum in fellowship. See “Spiritual Maturity,” and “Maturity in Christ.”
