Church: Your political STAND.
CHURCH: You are more powerful than you think you are, and have yet to walk in the fullness destined you. Can you hear the call to rise to your position. Many will hear and rise for they will pursue with passion the fire birthed in them by Holy Spirit. Let the end time awakening explode.
Ephesians 1:20-23 MSG
[20-23] All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ's body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
1 What does it mean when God says the world is peripheral to the church? The practical outward benefit to society is the functioning on fire church. The church will survive without the world. But the world will not survive without the church. When she is taken out of the world, it will implode within 7 years. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 NLT 1] Now, dear brothers and sisters, let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him. [2] Don't be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don't believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. [3] Don't be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed-the one who brings destruction. [4] He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God. [5] Don't you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? [6] And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. [7] For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. [8] Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.
2 Who then is the church? Is an individual the church? Its time to correct the common false belief that you the individual is the church. You are not the church by yourself. This is a dangerous doctrine which will lead you directly to hell. We must build our lives on the Word of God, and stay with the Word, not opinions or made up doctrines of men. Romans 12:5 NKJK 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 1 Corinthians 12:27 NKJV 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. Colossians 3:15 NKJV 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
3 What is one of the purpose of church according to Ephesians 1:23 ?
The church is Christ’s body by which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence. Ephesians 1:22-23 NKJ 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, [23] which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. It’s to have spiritual legislative dominion, and restrain the works of Satan. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 NKJV 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. [7] For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. A fully functioning Church must operate in Spiritual dominion. Have rule and preserve the territory, region, the portion allotted to it, as in the days of Moses, where lands and territory were portioned as an inheritance so too is this principle for the church. Possess the land, restrain every work of the enemy, and enforce the Kingdom of God through prayer, winning souls and growing up into maturity until we are one with HIM.
4 Who is in charge of the church and how important is it to be identified as a member of the church? Christ Matthew 16:18 NKJK 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. God has 3 category of people groups on this earth. 1 Corinthians 10:32 NKJK 32] Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God. You are either a JEW, a HEATHEN or in Christ the church. Only three are recognized races. Notice it is HIS church. The church belongs to Christ, and will be spotless and presented to the Father as this age wraps up.
We have entered into our final hour of GLORY. The time is now for a great awakening, watch and see the Church arise as the earth groans for the manifestation of His kingdom through the church. There will be glorious miracle healings, family restorations, incredible displays of Gods power, great fear of the Lord as He shakes all things for the final CALL to repentance. My prayer is that you make it to heaven.
