"This then is the message we have heard from Him; that
God is light and in Him is no darkness at all." - 1 John 1:5
OUR CALLING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
God has placed within us a holy calling. We are designed to meet a need in the body of Christ that no one else can meet exactly like us. The body of Christ spiritually moves and has It’s being in agreement and collectivity; all parts, pressed down, shaken and working together in an overflow abundant Life and manifestations of Christ, Himself. This is the divine design from the beginning of time; all in all through the Head, Jesus Christ.
The connection is Jesus! He is the heart and soul of His body! The love and renewal of Jesus Christ through His indwelling Holy Spirit is the body’s health, vitality and prosperity. Our calling is activated by the
power of God, the Holy Spirit.
Patience binds Satan, but bonds the body of Christ together in agreement and spiritual harmony. Patience is the muscle of God’s power through Jesus Christ. It is strengthened and developed by our resistance to Satan’s lies and deceptions. This is patient endurance. This is the suffering of Christ (our resistance to unbelief or false belief). Satan infiltrates the body with the acceptance of artificial growth hormones (strong-holds and half-truths). This leads to only the appearance of strength. The purity of Christ’s strength in His body is compromised. Deterioration of vital organs (giftings) can occur, rather than continual
spiritual regeneration and growth.
The full maturity of the body of Christ will only be manifested through its whole-hearted submissiveness to God’s goodness and His love, as revealed by Jesus Christ. Subjectiveness reigns over specificity! Hope reigns over appearance! Calling things not seen, as though they are is the faith of Christ in us. This is the power! This is the movement! The body will be joined to the Head, Jesus Christ; the marriage of the bride with the Bridegroom will be consummated!! Hallelujah!!!
This is the calling! This is the body’s tithe! This is the body’s offering! Hands off self and cleaving
only to Christ!
In the love of Christ,
John
