ONE NEW MAN – THE
BODY OF CHRIST
Revelation of :
The
Fullness of God in the
Body of Christ.
“Where is all of this leading,
Lord?”
He answered: “To the revelation of God’s
Fullness in the Body of Christ.”
Several months ago, God gave me a word that Father
God; BIG GOD, was back on the scene. If you can picture what happens in a home with children running
wild, here and there, mother exasperated, when suddenly, they hear Dad’s car drive up. Immediately
things begin to change.
And that is what I see for us right now.
About this same time, God gave me a word that HE was “opening
the gates to the sheep folds.”
Praise God! I was excited. All our hearts cry for
unity with our brothers and sisters in the Lord. But we haven’t understood how to make it happen.
Now, God is doing it and we can be ready to receive and rejoice over this.
“Other sheep I have, “ our
Lord said,
“that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be One Fold and One Shepherd.”
(John 10:16).
“My sheep hear my
voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
(John 10:27).
When God says “Follow Me.”, He isn’t talking about keeping the Law. He means to follow
the daily directions of the Holy Spirit. Like a gentle shepherd, He is saying: “This is the way,
walk here.” (Isa. 30:21 LB).
When He says, “My sheep hear My voice.” He
means that their spirits are tuned in to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
“I advise you to obey only the Holy
Spirit’s
instructions. He will
tell
you where to go and what to do….” (Galatians 5:16 LB).
THE BODY OF CHRIST
The Body of Christ is not confined to any one religion.
It is far greater than that. Lift Jesus higher and get a better view of the FULLNESS of God’s Body. “Christ
in us, the hope of (His) Glory. (Colossians 1:27).
Remember: By the Spirit and in the Word, we gain insight into the mind of God. S/Word. Spirit plus Word
= Sword of the Spirit.
This past year God has made me aware that many of
my dear friends worship God a different way than I do. Some are Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Church
of Christ , Church of God , and some are still seekers. There are even some who don’t attend an organized church at all, yet worship daily at the Father’s
feet.
Not everyone in an organized church service is a part
of God’s BIG Sheep Fold…but many are.
They are the ones who hear His voice and follow Him. These are His sheep…no matter how they have
chosen to worship Him.
I believe that God is bringing revelation to His sheep
wherever they are…as they listen to the
Holy Spirit. And it’s through the guidance of the Holy Spirit that His BIG sheep fold…is made
aware that:
They are the FULLNESS of Him that fills ALL in ALL. (Eph. 1:23).
They are His Body.
Competition between local churches is ceasing as people are recognizing more and more the true BODY of
CHRIST.
Just as the Jews and Gentiles had the walls of partition broken down from between them, so we find peace
in Christ as we understand the following verses:
“For He is our peace, Who hath made
both One, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.
“Having abolished (already) in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in HIMSELF
of twain (2), One NEW MAN, so making peace.
“And that He might reconcile both with God, in ONE BODY, by the Cross, (HE) having (already) slain the enmity thereby.” (Eph.
2:14-16).
“There is ONE BODY, One Spirit, One Lord, One Faith…One
God and Father of ALL, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Eph.4:3-6).
I believe the time has come for us to be aware of the FULLNESS of GOD in the Body of Christ. By Faith,
that we accept it.
“That we have come into the unity
of the Faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, (Body of Christ) unto the
measure of the stature of the FULLNESS of Christ.” (Eph.
4:13).
“God’s Body (the church)…the
FULLNESS of HIM that fills all in all.
(Eph.
1:23.)
“But how can this be?”, you ask. “We’re
all so different.”
That’s why God is God! I don’t know HOW
He will does this, other than that His sheep hear His voice and accept that He already considers it done.
And by Faith, we expect to see it manifested in the natural as we are seeing it now so clearly in the
Spirit.
Just be looking for it. One way you will recognize
it, is when God’s sheep seek His voice for themselves
through His Word and by His Spirit speaking to their spirit.
No matter where they are worshiping, God is calling His sheep, His BODY OF CHRIST together into FULLNESS
of HIMSELF.
Keep Looking – Keep Expecting
