Establishing Command-Restoring Order Amidst Chaos

(click the scripture verse and you will be linked to the text)
            God credentials those He calls to serve Him through the Holy Spirit...not man (Acts 1 23-26, Titus 1:5-16). Any man can come into a body of fools (those lacking eyes to see and ears to hear) and imitate someone anointed by the Holy Spirit and not be (Matthew 7:15-23).  Because he is such a good imitator, he obtains man's credential and therefore "empowered" by man and not by God.  Unfortunately he is given license to practice but does so incompetently.

            Where are those among the body whom are responsible for discerning and implementing God's justice (Ephesians 4:11)(Matthew 18:15-17)? Are they asleep, unaware of the enemies presence in the camp? Are they unaware the enemy is cutting off those whom have been placed in their care?

            Where is the believer who has been commissioned to save those whom have been caught in the enemies trap (Jeremiah 5:26)? Are they asleep, derelict in their duty (Matthew 23:23, Titus 2)? Have they not been transformed(Romans 12:2)? Do not be ashamed (2 Timothy2:14-26)of your faith in Jesus Christ! (Matthew 5:13-16)

            The body, at large, is not being lead by the Holy Spirit. They are not surrendered, poured out allowing God to pour into them (Titus 3:1-11).  There are those present as if wolves disguised as sheep's clothing.  This is evident in the false prophesy, false teaching, and false witnessing, sin still rampant in the body today (1 Corinthians 10:21, Ephesians 5:3-4). Are we not a body held accountable by sound Biblical governing ? The bride is tainted by her sin, unworthy of Christ's redemption. He desires her to be innocent, not defiled by man (2 Timothy 3:1-17) but empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the work needed to be done.

            The body of Christ, all those who recognize Jesus Christ as their savior must also recognize Him as their LORD (1 Timothy 6:1-21). Allowing Him complete dominion of their hearts. Many are still looking, at risk of not being able to identify the real Christ from those who imitate Him.  

            There is hope! Surrender, and submit.  Open your eyes to see His face, open your ears to hear His voice, and open your hearts to receive and allow His authority to reign in and through you....wake up!  Respond to the call!

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord , ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord , ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord , ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’ JEREMIAH 29:11‭-‬14 NASB God had to let go of His son. Jesus moved from Heaven to earth. The outcome was worth the expense ( opportunity cost of staying with His father). 1) Relationship: Christ's relationship with His Father was the foundation of His identify. Relationship requires trust, surrender and submission, and commitment (obedience). 2)  Identity: Christ's identity established His value. One must know his/her ident...

And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. (Matthew 14:29) Link to Britt Nicole's "Walk on the Water"  www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeTu8twnGvU In Matthew 14:22, Christ sent the disciples to the other side of the Sea of Galilee alone. He did not go with them. Matthew 14:29 depicts what happens to a believer (disciple) when he or she obeys, even when afraid. In the previous verses, one reads about the storm that came upon the disciples as they were sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Christ knew of their situation and went to them. The disciples were afraid because of the storm and when Christ showed up, they thought He was a ghost. Maybe because they were not expecting to witness Christ through this supernatural manifestation. They could not identify Him. But what happens? Christ called out to them to tell them to take courage. Do not fear. Not satisfied, Peter yelled out for Christ identify Himself. Peter asked...
