Jesus will build His Church and the gates (7) of Hades will not overcome it
He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the first born from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy.
- Christ is the head of the church, His body of which He is the Savior. The Church submits to Him
- Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her, to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word
- Christ will present her to Himself as a radiant church without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish
- It's foundations is Love, Peace and Joy.
- Not made by human hands
- Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, ,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
- The church will survive in any community, city or nation, under any political climate.
- If welcome and embrace will bring prosperity and peace
- Never under estimate the power of the church, it may appear foolish and irrelevant to the 21st century societies, but she is the one that keep this world going thus far, being light and salt
Like my Lord and King, I too am proud and happy to be a part of this church, finding sweet fellowship one with another, no matter where, who, and how, and in the by and by He (Jesus Christ ) will complete what he has started.( Hope of Glory!!)
I have been crucified with Christ: and I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
What is worship?
Do you know? It is God who set the perimeter and boundary for worship, outside of that is just entertaiment, traditions and idoltry ( Form of godliness) but no power.
Worship cannot be done without God's Spirit.
Next to sin worship has become vain and empty, because it's not according to the purpose and laws of God, which is tied to life under the sun. Life under the sun reflect the hearts and minds (thoughts) of mankind.
Questions:
- What is the purpose of the Church?
- How should the Church operate in the World
- Can the Church operate side by side with the World
- Fight - principalities, power, and spiritual wicketness
- Fight - witches, warlocks, and balaams
- Fight - darkness with light
- Fight - with the power that's work within us
Remember the power that raise Jesus from the dead is still in the world, and is not yet taken
Father, like Jesus our daily prayers of the 21st century will be "if it be possible let this cup pass from, nevertheless not my will but thy be done" as we fight this fight of faith.
