The church, a living organism, the body of Christ on the earth.

The church is the body of Christ on this earth.

What exactly is the duty of the church, that living organism that breathes and talks and moves upon the earth. The body of Christ Jesus.
We don't just represent the body of Christ, we are the body of Christ, representing all of the Father's nature of LOVE!

It was birthed to represent the heavenly kingdom.  To preach, heal, pray, speak to the mountains of problems they will encounter, and most of all to reach lost souls, and show them the love of God.

The church sometimes meets in a building or homes, or stadiums, sometimes a store front. Jesus said, "where two or three are gathered in His name He is there in their midst." So wherever believers are together, Jesus is there.

Ephesians 2:19-20
Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple of the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of the Spirit.

Jesus loves His church (Called out ones) those who are holy in the Lord.
The word holy means: to be separated unto God.

We are precious to the Lord.  Are we perfect, by no means, we are being built, growing into the temple of the Lord, that means it is an on going process. Jesus being the chief cornerstone.

Daily we are being built up to be His temple of light and hope on this earth.
Does the church have problems?  oh yes!  But no matter what the problems, the Lord loves His church.

Never speak against the church.  It is God's very life on this earth. Things that you disagree with, take to the Lord in prayer, He is the one building it, God will do the correcting. We are not Holy Spirit police!!

God gave us Pastors, overseers to guard and watch over the people, the sheep of His pasture. Pastor's that lead us through the word of God for our correction, the Holy Spirit will reveal what is needed.

Pastors are there to teach and train us about who we are and what we have as children of God. they, through the Holy Spirit help to mature us, teach us about the gifts that God has placed in us.
That are to be used, to help each other and show the church to be powerful, loving and kind.  A place of healing, bodies, emotions, and our mind.

Beloved, pray for the churches, they have a big job to do, keeping all the different personalities at peace, pointing all the time to Jesus. Helping us get our focus off of self, and onto the Lord.

We have gifts that reveal His power through His children, that are to be used to bless and heal, teach and train about what the church is. What is our part in the body?

In Revelation, Jesus calls His church golden, we need to be careful how and what we say about the church, It is the Lord's body, you would be speaking against the Lord Himself!

Be content, where the Lord has you and be a body that works together, get ready for the return of Jesus, He is coming sooner than we think.  In an ordinary day, when we are not expecting Him. Just as in Noah's day.

God bless you
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
