The Body Of Christ

1 Corinthians 12_12 image

One Body

The human body is a splendid being. Scientists can’t reproduce it or even fully understand it. It is a union of many parts. Each member of the body associates to and depends on other parts of the body in strengthening the well-being of the entire body.

The same is true of all believers as members of the body of Christ. We need to function in Christ’s body as the parts of the human body function. Just like the severing of a limb hinders the whole body, there is no Christian brother/sister that we don’t need. The Greek word translated “body” is related to the word meaning “to heal, preserve, be made whole.” This word distinctly shows how our lives are totally woven together within the body of Christ and how one’s well-being depends upon the well-being of others (Romans 14:7).

Is there a severed or strained relationship between you and a brother or sister in Christ? Go to him or her today. Allow Christ to knit you together in His Church (His Body).

When I was in my early 20s I felt like I was severed from the body of Christ. It was after I graduated high school, got married and had a baby and was far away from the family of Yahweh. I was totally disconnected. It was at that point I made some new friends and they invited me to The Church they were part of the family of. I certainly felt like I was a part of Yahweh’s family and again, part of HIS body.

Transforming Grace of Yahweh

2 Timothy 1_8-10 image

It’s grace solely that has the capability to transform lives. Grace solely has the power to bring liberty to the captives. By grace solely, we are saved.

Yahweh has a plan and purpose for your life that He’s given to no one else. Your life is intended to make an eternal result for His Kingdom that will rule for all time.

First purpose: Loving Yahweh is your highest calling, and in loving Yahweh you will experience the overflowing joy and fulfillment possible.

The second purpose: loving others in reply to your love for Yahweh. (Mark 12:31, Ephesians 5:1-2, Acts 26:16).

We are commanded to genuinely love Him and others with the very love we’ve been given.

He fills you with the breath of life and then untiringly waits for you to live your life as an exquisite song of worship and praise to Him.

How’s that working for you? Share how your purpose is affecting Yahweh’s Kingdom. Let’s worship and praise Him together, as the Body of Christ.

Healing in Peace

Matthew 5_8-9 image

Our struggles come because we are selfish. Yahweh desires to cure us, His children, of our greed and selfishness. And Yahweh says that as His children we are not to be part of the problem but part of the solution.

It is a smart one who steps in and says, “I’m sorry.” It might seem that there is always one who’s the first to say it, but Jesus noted that true peacemakers are prepared to swallow pride to heal the wounds.

Let’s face it, there are times when we want what we want when we want it, our way.

Human nature is selfish. But, with the Holy Spirit’s help, we can overcome it. We can have peace. We can be healed. We can be healed through peace.

How are you doing? Share your story of peace and healing. If you’re seeking to be healed and haven’t found it yet, and need prayer; contact me here, for prayer, now.

Healing River

Ezekiel 47_1-2_8-9 image

 

These waters represent the gospel of Christ, that went forward from Jerusalem, and dispersed into the countries around; also the gifts and powers of the Holy Spirit that came along with it, by the moral excellence that is spread far, and imparted joyous effects. Christ is the Temple, and He is the Door; from Him, the living waters flow, out of His punctured side. They are expanding waters. Watch the growth of the gospel in the world, and the transformation of the work of grace in the heart; tend to the movements of the blessed Spirit under Divine direction.

If we search into the things of Yahweh, we find some things plain and easy to be realized. It is wisdom, to begin with, one that is very easy ere we continue to such that is vague and hard to be understood. The promises of the holy word, and the rights of believers, as scattered in foreign lands in their souls by the arousing Spirit, overflow where the gospel is preached; they feed and gladden the souls of men; they never dim or shrink, nor are consumed. Even the leaves of the plants work as remedies to the soul: the warnings and admonitions of the word, though less comfortable than Divine compassions, lead to healing the diseases of the soul. All who believe in Christ, and are united to him by his sanctifying Spirit, will share the privileges of Israelites. There is room in the church, and in heaven, for all who seek the blessings of that new covenant of which Christ is Mediator.

All who believe in Christ, and are joined to Him by His Holy Spirit, will share the rights of Israelites. There is room in the church, and in heaven, for all who search for the blessings of that new covenant relating to that, Christ is Mediator.

Note: If we want to be healed we need to search for and follow after Christ. We must allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us, like the healing waters. Such amazingness comes from it. Don’t you want to experience His awesomeness?

Listen to this music video, let The Holy Spirit flow through you and wash over you, renewing and transforming you.

Forgiveness In Mercy

Matthew 5_5_7 image

At some time in our relationships, all of us do something that we need forgiveness and mercy. The sincerely happy one is one who lives in an attitude of forgiveness, not defending grudges or keeping the error over the head of the faulty one. Denying to give mercy will stop our obtaining mercy. The eternal law of Yahweh shows that we harvest what we sow. When Jesus commands on mercy, He is prohibiting one of the extremely toxic emotions anyone can ever have. Bitterness can destroy not only a relationship but also a soul. The Bible cautions us to beware of the fatal power of bitterness: Be careful that no one fails to receive Yahweh’s grace and begins to cause trouble between you. A person like that can ruin many of you (Hebrews 12:15). Bitterness does two things: it disturbs us, and it dishonors others.

Our unwillingness to forgive anyone will kill our relationships. It will give us high blood pressure, ulcers, colitis, and it will make our children angry and rebellious. We clearly cannot afford the indulgence of keeping grudges. We need to love and forgive or we die.

We night feel that we are the one who always forgives. This is a situation that bothered the disciples, too: Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, when my fellow believer sins against me, how many times must I forgive him? Should I forgive him as many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, you must forgive him more than seven times. You must forgive him even if he wrongs you seventy times seven (Matthew 18:21-22). The words of Christ are not always easy to live by, but they need to be followed.

Note: I experienced many years of abuse [many types]. I held onto that and felt animosity toward my abusers. At some point along the way with Yahweh’s help, I let it go and forgave all of them. That’s when the healing began. It’s taken more than 15 years to for this healing process to work itself out. I can finally see light at then end of the tunnel. You can too.

Describe what holding a grudge has done to you and your relationships. Comment your experience. And, we’ve “all” experienced this at some point in our lives.

Describe what releasing the grudge has done for you and your relationships. Comment your experience. If you haven’t yet, why not?

Knowing Yahweh

Psalm 100_1-5 image

Everything I am is owed to Him. My worship, service, and fellowship with the Author & Finisher are subject to personal interpretation. How can I worship when I am still the focus of my own world?

Therefore, my first hunger is not to be for temporal things but for spiritual riches through fellowship with Christ.

And not knowing the Yahweh hinders my worship. How can I worship whom I fear? Or bless One whom I think is evil? Or thank One whom I think is fickle? To bless and serve the Yahweh, I must know Him! Here is the priority: Know Yahweh and worship Him with joy!

What is your worship to Yahweh like? Comment your experience.

Coming soon to Trinity Digital Ministry: Women of the Bible message series. Comment which woman of the Bible you identify with, and why? It’d be great to hear from you.
