ALL MEMBERS OF THE SAME BODY. Not a work of a human organization but an accomplishment of the Spirit of the living God. That which is impossible with man is possible with the Lord. Eph. 3:6 A body having a multiplicity of members. Each member having their own function in the body but all belonging to the body and to one another. Acting in unison that the will of the Lord might be consummated. The beauty and majesty of such an organism is astonishing. But the Lord will bring it to pass. Rom. 12:4-5 If, indeed the Word of God is achieved in His church it is because of the Spirit of unity that is the nature and being of the Holy Spirit. Plus the fact, that every member of the body of Christ has been baptized, by the Spirit, into the one body. Likewise, we continue to allow the Spirit to operate in our spirit. Being motivated and fed by the Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:13 So closely associated and knit together is that body, that when one member enters into a period of suffering all the other members of the body follow in close participation. In like manner, if a member is given a commendation or is honored in some way, the other members follow in their rejoicing. 1 Cor. 12:27 The Godhead, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the very essence of unity and harmony will function in the church until such a glorious symphony and oneness will come to pass. There is only one church for the end of the age, neither yours, not mine but HIS! It is His body, His church and it will be totally devoted to Him.
UNITY IN FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE. One in doctrine and one in comprehension of the Lord. This is His goal and we may be assured that His purposes will all reach their fruition. The Holy Spirit came into this world to lead us and teach us all truth. It is He, who will bring us into maturity and unity. He WILL procure the objective that has been established for the church. He will bring the church to its divine appointments and perfection. Eph. 4:13
CURRENT INSTRUCTIONS OF THE SPIRIT FOR THE CHURCH. Cease from being infants, spiritual babies. Straight forward words from the Apostle but very fitting for our day. The raging of a storm is the language that he is using and the tossing to and fro of an object carried by the sea. Drifting aimlessly, thrown hither and yon. Changing beliefs, changing churches, ever restless as the sea. Easily offended, easily persuaded. No anchor no sure direction, ever drifting carelessly. Winds of doctrine, cunning craftiness used by men to snare these floating objects. Hucksters manipulating and persuading these naive, uninformed Christians who are always looking for the spectacular, the extreme and strange signs and wonders. Eph. 4:14 It is well that we hear the teaching of the Word pertaining to these who will come in the end of the age. If it were possible, even the very elect will be deceived. Follow Jesus. Adhere to His Word. Truth and the knowledge of the Lord will prevail. We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus our Lord.
