The True Ecclesia

-
Ephesians 4

            God's design for His church. A design, when practiced, propels the body toward transformation, fulfillment in Christ as He was fulfilled in His father...by His death.

            You and I are the church. A body of believers designed to be surrendered and submitted to God.  We are to be working in unison, ever part, to allow fluid like movement, reflecting the image of God to the world.

            Unfortunately, the church in this country has become institutionalized. A body fragmented by man-made denominations disrupting the flow of God. An institution reflecting mans achievements and image, not God's.

            GOOD NEWS! The "great physician" is performing surgery! He is preparing the operating room, calling those who are on call for Him, returning them to assist.

            Are you available? Is your pager tuned on? Are you "trained up" mind, body, and Spirit? Do you have the didactic and practical (knowledge and experience) you need to practice competently in that position for which God has called you to serve? Oh, by the way, do you know your position...your place on the team? Which role do you play?


            Your significance is identified by God, not man!  Respond to the call!

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...
