THE GLORIOUS BODY

As God gives us an unfolding vision of who we are in Christ and how we fit into His body, He also reveals the specific structure and order for Christ the body in Scripture. “See, sayeth He, that you build all things according to the pattern.” (He. 8:5) He tells us this body is not haphazard but has a specific order that He planned before time began. When God reveals gifts, ministries, operations, offices, foot washing, head coverings, and so much more, we behold the glory of the Lord as if looking in a mirror. The flesh may want to turn this revelation into a form or doctrine, but God intends it for our transfiguration. These revelations are not rules but rather we will see and discern them plainly as the Holy Spirit leads and operates in each member. And this working in each member is by grace, which is through faith, which comes by hearing the leading of God. That revelation is the unveiling of Jesus Christ Himself.

Lord, My heart is not haughty, Nor mine eyes lofty

PSALM 131

Lord, My heart is not haughty,
Nor mine eyes lofty,
I don’t exercise myself in great matters I can’t see,
In things that are too high for me.

Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.

Surely, I have stilled myself
And quieted myself
As a child that is weaned of his mother, a weaned child.
My soul is as a weaned child.

Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.

God’s hope is absolute and solid.
(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

God’s hope is absolute and solid. When you see the body of Christ, you see it as the fulfilled body. You see every member as the Christ within Who cannot sin. As you look into this mirror at the glory of the body of Christ as it ought to be, you’re transfigured into the image and likeness of the living Christ.

If you doubt God and what God says, you see the flesh in yourself. And you see the flesh in other members of the body of Christ. Maybe you see yourself and the people you like as good, but you see the fleshly nature in the people you don’t like. As you look at the flesh, you become fleshly. You become what you stare at.

You have and are a ministry in this body of Christ. Your ministry is Christ in you. Your ministry has nothing to do with your flesh. You are a living stone in God’s temple. God is forming you into the member of His body He created you to be. As you look into God’s spiritual mirror of hope, you see who you are in Christ and how you fit into the body of Christ. You see your brothers and sisters after the spirit and not after the flesh. You need to discern the body of Christ. You need to recognize the ministries of your brothers and sisters. You’re standing in the presence of Christ when you’re in their presence.

THE ANOINTING OF BEING

We are entering the anointing of being by each of us becoming the ministry (Christ), which God is creating in us. Not only is God forming Christ in us completely, but He is also preparing a specific place for each of us in Christ the body. (Jn. 14:2-3) As we gather to worship or pray together, we build up Christ in each other. (1 Co. 12:26) That’s true, but we are also BEING JOINED as parts of Christ the body. (1 Co. 1:10) The same thing that happens individually as the Holy Spirit leads us and we yield to the Holy Spirit in our daily lives now happens in the meeting. The entire assembly is building Christ in each member when everyone has a psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. (1 Co. 14:26) We assemble ourselves, not just getting together but fitting ourselves together into Christ. (He. 10:25) This is the in-Christ experience. (1 Co. 1:30) Christ the body is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle in that each piece of a puzzle must go in the right place. Some pieces look like they would fit in a certain place, but you would have to force them and it ruins the picture. It takes patience to get every piece in place, but the result is beautiful when you finish the puzzle. In the same way, you will never be fully satisfied and happy until God completes His work in you. The difference is that a jigsaw puzzle doesn’t do any work, but Christ the body is the functioning and dynamic Kingdom of God. It’s Christ coming in the flesh and appearing on the earth. (2 Jn. 1:7)

Press toward the mark of your high calling in Christ Jesus

Press toward the mark
of your high calling in Christ Jesus

The counterfeit kingdom is now set in motion,
For each precept of God, there’s a false one in place.
There’s no hope in fearing and knowing the darkness.
Our hope is in seeking our dear Savior’s face.

CHORUS:
Press toward the mark of your high calling in Christ Jesus
Forgetting all those things which are behind.
Press toward the mark of your high calling in Christ Jesus
And be transformed by renewing of your mind.

If you ask for a fish, He won’t give you a serpent.
And if you ask for bread, He won’t give you a stone.
Our Father gives only good gifts to His children.
He gives us His Spirit and His Spirit alone.

CHORUS

Don’t look to your natural mind to protect you.
Don’t look to knowledge, which you once received.
Walk in the Spirit of God, the Anointing,
Then having the Truth, you will not be deceived.

CHORUS

Our sword is the Word as revealed by the Spirit,
Salvation, our helmet; God’s faith is our shield.
Righteousness, and the gospel and truth is our armor.
The gifts of the Spirit, the weapons we wield.

CHORUS

Our weapons of warfare, they’re strong and they’re mighty,
To tear down the strongholds of Satan’s abode.
We must enter into the Holy of Holies,
And fight to establish the Kingdom of God.

CHORUS

YOU IN CHRIST

We can see how Christ is in us, but Scripture speaks of us being in Christ. What does it mean to be in Christ, and how can we be in Christ? Scripture says the human body is one and has many members, and so also is Christ. (1 Co. 12:12) It doesn’t say, “And so also is the body of Christ.” Christ the body is no less Christ than Christ the Head. Christ is a many-membered body being formed on earth that’s joined in submission to The Head in heaven. Being in Christ in unity is our high calling in Christ Jesus. (Ph. 3:12)

Many parallel streams are heading toward a confluence of the waters. We are at an inflection point. God is about to reveal His Kingdom order as never before. We’ll have to adjust our preconceived ideas to His master plan.

Precious Is My Gold

Precious is My gold,
Deep within, it lies,
Purposed long ago,
To bring you to pure life.

Failure ne’er shall be,
Trusting, onward go,
This is your new Day,
My presence now to show.

God’s mirror isn’t a material mirror. It’s a spiritual mirror.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

We need to grasp the authority and power God gives us whenever He speaks His Word to us, whenever He leads or corrects us. The words we speak have power for good or evil. (Ja. 3:2-12, Mt. 15:11) We will be judged for every idle word, and an idle word is a word God didn’t speak through us. (Mt. 12:36) When God speaks through us, we speak the living Christ. We are speaking forth the power, glory, and authority of the One by Whom everything holds together. The power of agreeing verbally with God rather than agreeing with the accuser cannot be overstated. As we cooperate with the anointing, we have no doubt in our minds and God says “Amen!” through us, He speaks with the same authority that said “Let there be light.” (1 Co. 14:16) And yet, if we harbor doubt or use “Amen” as a cliché, it has no power. “God bless you” is an exercise of God’s authority. So is prophecy, a word of wisdom, or a word of knowledge. When we pray the will of God as He says His prayer through us, we are truly praying in Jesus’ name. Our lives change as we understand what God has put into our hands. God gives us a vision for healing, and health springs forth as He speaks words of healing from our lips. He will heal broken relationships as He speaks His word through us. He will break every yoke of bondage and solve every problem. And we are participating in it as we yield ourselves to Him. The Creator of the universe abides in us. May the Holy Spirit give us a vision of that power. His Word lives in us, and whatever He leads us to must conform to His will.

PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE THE LORD

Praise, praise, praise the Lord!
Praise, praise, praise His Name!
Oh! Praise, praise, praise the Lord!
Praise the Name of the Lord!
(repeat)

His Name is Lord and King.
His Name is Savior,
The Anointed One.
How I want to Know Him more!
He is the Master of the universe,
Yet He chose to live in me.
He is the Master of the universe,
And yet somehow He lives in me.

WHAT IS BIBLICAL FAITH?

What is Biblical FAITH?

WHAT IS BIBLICAL FAITH?

This is a spontaneous post. I just watched a disappointing video put out by a Christian group that attempted to explain Biblical faith without mentioning what the Bible says about faith. The Bible says faith comes by hearing the rhema of God. In this context, rhema means something God says. God speaks to us. The Bible is very clear about that. “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Father.” “My sheep know My voice. They won’t listen to anyone else.” And there are many other verses like this. When God speaks to us, the Bible says Jesus (God’s spoken Word) authors faith in our hearts. I was disappointed to hear this good Christian group say faith is rationalized reasoning that originates in the human mind. In other words, we generate our own faith somehow. Faith is a gift from God. It comes when God speaks. The first chapter of Romans talks about those who fail to acknowledge God and thank Him when He reveals Himself and reality to us. They walk into ever-increasing darkness until they can’t tell right from wrong. In the third chapter of Second Corinthians, God tells us the fleshly veil is removed from our faces so we can see if we will turn to the Lord, but it’s a removal from glory to glory. We walk from one level of light to a greater level of light until the day when everything is complete. It’s not because we are so intelligent we figure it out. Real faith comes as we listen to God whether He speaks through the Bible, a still small voice, a brother or sister in Christ, or some other means mentioned in the Bible.

It’s as if you’re looking into a mirror at the perfect law of liberty. The Holy Spirit pulls the veil of your flesh away from you so you can see a glimpse.

CHRIST IN YOU

Most who call themselves Christian also say Christ lives in their hearts. (Co. 1:27) Few ever think of what that means or how Christ gets into their hearts. And yet, the truth is simple. Before we can be born again, the Father must draw us. (Jn. 6:44) He draws us, or leads us, by speaking to us through the Bible or one of the ways mentioned in the Bible. We hear, and faith comes. Faith gives us access to grace, and grace in us confesses that Jesus is Lord as we yield our mouths and tongues to His grace. (Ro. 10:9-10) It’s that simple. When the Father speaks His Word, He speaks Jesus Christ (the Word of God) into our hearts. If that seems fantastic, consider that God spoke and everything in the universe came into existence. We can now see how Jesus got into our hearts to live there when the Father spoke the Word into our hearts with creative power. And yet, we each had to yield to Him or we would not have received it. That holy Seed landed on good ground, or none of us could have said, “Jesus is my Lord.” (1 Co. 12:3)

PRAISE THE LORD

Praise the Lord! Praise Him all creatures here below.

Praise the Lord! In Him the saints will all unite.

Praise the Lord! Forget about all earthly strife.
Praise the Lord! Reach out to Him who gives us life.
Praise the Lord! Prepare the Bride to be His Wife.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Holy one, the King of Israel.

CHORUS

Lawlessness, pride, malice, envy, and debate,
Touchiness, ambition, jealousy and hate,
From the flesh, the Spirit will emancipate.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Holy one, the King of Israel.

THE SOWER

In the Parable of the Sower, the Seed is the Word. That Word or Seed is the living Christ sown into our hearts. (Mt. 3:3-23) This Parable is about being born again, but it’s also about growing in Christ from glory to glory until the final day of His Parousia or Coming. That final day is about Christ the body coming into its own. Wisdom is this same Word from the Lord forming Christ in you. (Ja. 1:5-8) God’s wisdom is the river of God’s Word (Jesus) flowing in righteousness and holiness, delivering us from the darkness of sinful nature into the light and life in God’s presence. (1 Co. 1:30)

PRAISE FOREVER

Praise forever,
Glorify your Lord.
He shall make you beautiful.
He shall make you live.
Praise forever,
Magnify your Lord.
For God is the maker,
Of life forevermore.

Behold: I call you unto unity,
Oneness in the Spirit,
Unity in Me.
I live within your praises,
And I have led you to your place.
I change your inner being,
As You look into My face.

Praise Forever

The Holy Spirit transfigures you from glory to glory, here a little and there a little.

REPENT: HAVE A NEW MIND

We often think of repenting as changing our attitude or changing our direction, and that’s an acceptable way to think about it. However, God wants so much more than just a change in our attitudes or behaviors. The word “repent” in Scripture is literally “have a new mind. He intends to transfigure us into the very image and likeness of Christ. He speaks to us through our spirits to our minds and transfigures our minds from fleshly minds into the mind of Christ little by little and moment by moment throughout every day. God isn’t just looking for us to change our attitudes but to exchange our minds for His. He sows the Seed of His Word into our hearts repeatedly to accomplish this.
