The Day Of The Lord, What Is It ? Part 2

posted by PrayerWarrior

I will now post as many of the verses as I know of, that pertain to the day of the Lord. I know there are many more too, but for times sake, I cannot post every one of them or at this moment find them all. This would take me at least a year. The day of the Lord is also called,that day,the day of judgment,the day of His wrath, the great day. The day of reckoning, day of salvation, day of battle, the day of trouble, day of the Lord Jesus, and finally the day of God. This way no one can say oh this does not say the day of the Lord.

Now there is no particular order to my account of the verses that pertain to the day of the Lord, so please bear with me.
Rev 6:14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.
Isaiah 34:4 All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.

2Peter 3:10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
Psalm 102:26 They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away. Isaiah 2:16-17 against all the lofty mountains, and against all the uplifted hills; against every high tower, and against every fortified wall; against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful craft. And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

Jer 4:23-26 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light. I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the air had fled. I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger.
Jer 51:45“Go out of the midst of her, my people! Let every one save his life from the fierce anger of the LORD!

Ezek 38:19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Isaiah 54:17 But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Hab 3:12-14 12 In wrath you strode through the earth and in anger you threshed the nations. 13 You came out to deliver your people, to save your anointed ones. You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness, you stripped him from head to foot. 14 With his own spear you pierced his head when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though about to devour the wretched who were in hiding.

Notice verse 13,came out to save your anointed ones? Hmmmm if all the anointed ones have been take away from the earth already, then whom is this speaking of? No dear brothers and sisters I am sorry to say, but the Lord Jesus comes to bring wrath,the day of the Lord is only minutes after the rapture. Let’s look at the meaning of the word anointed.

Anointed = to consecrate or make sacred. Jesus Christ makes us sacred and we are consecrated through Him. What is consecrated? Consecrated = to make or declare sacred; set apart or dedicate to the service of a deity: Also sacred = entitled to veneration or religious respect by association with divinity or divine things; holy. We are set apart to be Holy,as the Lord is holy. We are striving more and more daily to be holy like the Lord.

We are perfected through trials and tribulations, In I Pet 1:7 we read that the trial of our faith, which is much more precious than gold, is for praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. Gold in its original state has many impurities. Gold has to go through a period of purification by melting it in a furnace at a very high temperature. After this process of purification, the impure gold becomes perfect. This is the same way we are perfected through fiery trials,we are purified.

James 1:4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. I love this. I don’t know about most people, but I am looking forward to being purified. I know that may seem strange, but think about it this way. We are going to see ourselves perfected. We will through Christ be able to withstand anything and everything. Now back to verses about the day of the Lord.

Obadiah 1:15 “The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.
Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
Isaiah 13:6 Wail, for the Lord’s day of judgment is near; it comes with all the destructive power of the sovereign judge.

Zeph 1:14 The Lord’s great day of judgment is almost here; it is approaching very rapidly! There will be a bitter sound on the Lord’s day of judgment; at that time warriors will cry out in battle.
Ezek30:3 For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near; it will be a day of storm clouds, it will be a time of judgment for the nations.
Joel 1:15 How awful that day will be! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come as destruction from the Divine Destroyer.

Ezek 7:7 Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains.
Jer 46:10 But that day belongs to the Lord God who rules over all. It is the day when he will pay back his enemies. His sword will devour them until its appetite is satisfied! It will drink their blood until it is full! For the Lord God who rules over all will offer them up as a sacrifice in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.

Amos 5:20 Don’t you realize the Lord’s day of judgment will bring darkness, not light – gloomy blackness, not bright light?
Zeph 1:7 Be silent before the Lord God, for the Lord’s day of judgment is almost here. The Lord has prepared a sacrificial meal; he has ritually purified his guests. Do you see here? He has ritually purified His guests! that is HUGE,and so important to understand.

Ezek 13:5 You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the Lord.
Ezek 30:3 For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near; it will be a day of storm clouds, it will be a time of judgment for the nations.
Mal 4:1 “For indeed the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up,” says the Lord who rules over all. “It will not leave even a root or branch.

Zeph 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s angry judgment. The whole earth will be consumed by his fiery wrath. Indeed, he will bring terrifying destruction on all who live on the earth.
Isaiah 2:12 Indeed, the Lord who commands armies has planned a day of judgment, for all the high and mighty, for all who are proud – they will be humiliated;
Isaiah 2:19 They will go into caves in the rocky cliffs and into holes in the ground, trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the Lord and his royal splendor, when he rises up to terrify the earth.

The rest of the verses I will put up in another post. God Bless and watch over you all always.
Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy

The Study Of The End Of The Age = Eschatology

posted by PrayerWarrior

What is Eschatology?
How does it affect every one in the world?
Why should we study the end of things?
When people say the end of the world, they are really basically misunderstanding what the end times means. It will not be the end of the world. It will be the end of the way things have been for nearly 6,000 years. It will be Christ our Messiah,coming to rule the world, a thousand years of peace and prosperity. A wonderful life, that people the world over, wish it was right now. In fact the people who are involved in trying to make the new world order, the one world government are in fact, hoping to achieve this utopia, where there is no crime no sick people, only wealthy, healthy, people. The sad fact is, it can never be done without God.

Eschatology is the study of end times prophecies in the bible. It is a deep look at what is coming, and how it will all start and end. This is the study of the ultimate destiny of human kind. The study of the final confrontation between the forces of good versus evil, and the establishment of a realm of deliverance from suffering and sin based on the restoration of an original world of goodness. There are many forms of Eschatology,such as the Jewish, the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist,and of course Christian. I pay attention to the Jewish,and the Christian,with a bit of study on the Muslim end times study as well.

I am not in any way shape or form a Muslim,but being aware of the biggest enemy of the Christian religions eschatological views, is quite important. It parallels ours (Christian) so very well. Where we have our savior coming back to the earth, at the end of the whole thing, with the culmination of Armageddon. The Muslims expect their messiah to come as the twelfth Imam or the Mahdi, at the beginning of troubles. They believe they must create Chaos on the earth, to usher in their messiah. While our beliefs are, we must tell the whole world of Jesus Christ, and then the bad times come, then the taking away of those who are truly Christs own.

That is called the rapture to most people. There is no such word in the bible as rapture. It is either called harpazzo the Greek word, which means caught up, or parusia, another Greek word which means, to be present with,such as being present with the Lord. Then comes the battle of Armageddon, in which all the armies of the world come together at the valley of Meggido, to come against Israel, and that is when the Lord steps in.

There is a great need today to study eschatology (the doctrine of future things) as God’s Word unfolds before our very eyes. There are many Christians today who know very little about God’s plans for the here-and-now, and they know even less about God’s plans for their future. The Scriptures give several reasons why the study of eschatology is profitable for us. First of all it is for the purity in the believer’s life 1 John 3:3. It comforts the believer in their time of bereavement 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Thirdly, the study of eschatology gives us a divine viewpoint in our outlook 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. And finally, study produces motivation for the believer’s faithful service 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

Now Matthew chapter 24 is the best New Testament start to finish explanation of the end times, by Christ to His disciples. The book of Revelation is the explanation of what will be happening through the tribulation period into the millennial kingdom,which is when Christ will reign on earth with His elect or saints,which are those of us who are Christs own. We have been chosen by God to receive salvation,and we have accepted the free gift of God’s grace for the forgiveness of our sins. The bible tells us many have been called but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14.

Here is a link to be able to read all of Matthew chapter 24 for yourselves. If the link is not click able please copy and paste into your browser. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024&version=AMP
I would ask that you who read that chapter, would pay close attention to the words of Jesus in verse 29 when it says AFTER those days of tribulation. Too many people do not seem to see those words,or they disregard them.

The end times are through out the entire bible, but there are some that are much deeper involved in the study, of end of the age studies than others. In the Old Testament the book of Jeremiah,the book of Daniel,the book of Isaiah,the book of Ezekiel,the book of Amos and Joel and Zechariah ,Malachi and more. It is amazing to study these prophecies, and then watch the world news, at least world news that tell you the truth, and do not hide information from you. Watching the news these days is like reading your bible,and suddenly getting an understanding you never understood before. Seeing the very steps that are being taken world wide, to bring us to the end of the age.

The New Testament, has many prophecies of the end of the age too. It is exciting to this writer to read and get understanding, of what the Lord is telling us. The preparations He has set in His Word for us. But to get the blessings that are coming in the end of the age, you must be one of Christs own. To become one of Christs called ones, or chosen ones, we must become born again in order to receive the promises in the Word of God.

Here is the prayer you say to become born again. No one needs to know you said this prayer, but eventually the changes that take place in you are going to show up, but by then you will be proud to let the world know you are one of Christs.

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

I’ve Prayed It; Now What? If you’ve prayed this prayer of salvation with true conviction and heart, you are now a follower of Jesus. This is a fact, whether or not you feel any different. Religious systems may have led you to believe that you should feel something – a warm glow, a tingle, or some other mystical experience. The fact is, you may, or you may not. If you have prayed the prayer of salvation and meant it, you are now a follower of Jesus. The Bible tells us “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

Welcome to the family of God! I encourage you now to find a local church where you can be baptized and grow in the knowledge of God through His Word, the Bible.

As we go along, my hope is that you will understand very well the end times prophecies. May God Bless and watch over you. May the Lord guide you in wisdom and knowledge,and grow you into a strong and joy filled Christian.
Love in Christ, Tammy

Favor in Famine

posted by PrayerWarrior

I wanted to write an article to this effect,but found I did not quite have the wording down as I wanted it. I found this in my email in box one day from Nugget and saw it was everything I wanted to say, and said so wonderfully that I immediately wrote this lovely woman of God and asked if I could post this on my own blog. I was given permission and so here it is, I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

The world is resounding a song of an economic crisis. The song they are singing is , “This is one of the most tumultuous times on record in the global financial markets.”

The financial indicators have indicated major instability, cutbacks, retrenchment and shortfalls. The world’s economists who are the experts in the social science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_science , of economics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics , sound more like prophets of doom at present. Their pessimistic outlook has cast a shadow over 2009. Everywhere you look, the land is crying out for aid and relief.

Amidst the turmoil, the kingdom of God is either caught up by the recession or found to be rising above it. We as the church believe that though we live in the world, we are not of the world. In other words as God’s people we are not confined to the economy of the land but we live under the economy of heaven where there is no recession, no cutbacks and no shortfalls. As citizens of heaven, heavens reserves and resources govern us.

We do our part on earth by living under heavens standards and God will do his part by opening up the heavens and sending relief, aid, substance and abundance. He keeps us living above the tide of the world’s pressures. In Jeremiah 31:14 God’s word teaches us that we as his people shall be satisfied with his goodness. The goodness of God exceeds our wildest imagination and greatest expectation.

How do we know for certain that God will flourish us in times of famine? In Genesis 26 we read the following account of Isaac: “Now there was a famine in the land—besides the earlier famine of Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar.”

The famine of the land was a set-up for God to show his magnitude and glory in Isaac’s life. Isaac was not taken away from the famine. Instead he flourished within it. God used this opportunity of economic distress as a platform to elevate his children. God’s promise to Isaac was not to run away from the famine but to remain steadfast and immovable and leave the rest up to him.

“The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, ‘Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while …”

Obedience to the voice of God is imperative. When we listen accurately, we do not run around aimlessly and without vision. God’s word will preserve us and propel us to acquire the best. We will rise above the setbacks of the economy as a higher authority governs us.

God’s promise to Isaac was that: “…I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed …”

God’s covenant of promise will not change and it stands firm for every generation. If under the law, Isaac lived in such a magnitude of blessing, imagine how much more we who are children under grace will live. We are a positioned people in times of world distress to be a beacon of hope. We are the relief the land is looking for and we have the answers. Jesus is the answer in our lives so lets rise above the world’s circumstances to lift Jesus higher that all men will be drawn unto him. Isaac had God’s Favor, which devoured the famine and rendered it to naught. Isaac obeyed God’s instruction and stayed in Gerar .In that year he reaped a hundredfold. He gained more and more until he became very wealthy. He had possessions of flocks and herds and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him. They even asked him to leave as he was mightier than them.

Wow, how awesome is our God. He reigns supreme and positions us to soar above all limitations. We are designed to live in the full measure of Christ. It is so important for us to remain positioned as God ordained and to live in the direct will of God. He places us to be blessed but also to be a blessing. God searches from among us, Isaacs and Rebekah’s to pour out his favor and splendor over us. We are a preserved people of power.

Favor in times of famine is our heritage as children of God. Blessings over our lives are contagious and the anointing will be imparted to all those around us. All nations will be blessed through us.

Lets cover our land with much prayer and stand in the gap as beacons for Christ.

A few thoughts for you:

Trust God to work out every situation. Pray at the altar until the winds are loosed to bring heavens change.

Pray for your place of employment that increase will come from the north, south, east and west. It does not matter which part of the chain you are in. If the business flourishes so will you.

Ask of God for divine wisdom to run your own businesses and give to God faithfully what is due to him.

God is the author and finisher of you and all that belongs to you

Stay focused and positioned. Don’t give in to doubt and despair. Be rooted in his promises and believe it to come to pass.

Cast your bread upon the waters and wait and after many days, it shall surely find you.

Strive to Shine in 2009 and be the best in your generation.
Hazel Moodley

That was great and so very filling of daily bread. God Bless you all andmake you shine in these times.

Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy

Unity In Christ

posted by PrayerWarrior

What does being of one mind make you think of? What exactly is unity? The dictionary defines unity like this.
1.the state of being one; oneness.
2.a whole or totality as combining all its parts into one.
3.the state or fact of being united or combined into one, as of the parts of a whole; unification.
4.absence of diversity; unvaried or uniform character.
5.oneness of mind, feeling, etc., as among a number of persons; concord, harmony, or agreement.
a relation of all the parts or elements of a work constituting a harmonious whole and producing a single general effect.

This is what Christians who call themselves the body of Christ should look like.We as Christians are supposed to work together towards furthering God’s kingdom.

United means= 1.made into or caused to act as a single entity: a united front.
2.formed or produced by the uniting of things or persons: a united effort.
3.agreed; in harmony.
I find it so hard to understand how there is so much infighting going on amongst those who are Christs own. We who have been washed in the blood of Christ are supposed to help one another . Exhort one another. In patience and calmness instruct one another. In my own walk with the Lord I find that in just studying his word to show myself approved to God. I am entirely too busy worrying about my own walk with the Lord, and how better to further my understanding of God through his word a very fulfilling and busy work. What is false teaching? False teaching is someone teaching a different salvation. Teaching a different Jesus. Salvation issues are the only things we need to be watching out for. It does not matter how much money a preacher makes. It does not matter if he believes eating one kind of meat is okay even if you do not agree. It is looking for salvation issues, and rather we recognize them coming from another preacher or teacher.  We must at all times be aware of that fact, and keep in mind Jesus wants us simply to further his kingdom. We are supposed to be united in that one goal.

There are people who are so busy being a divider of the Lords called children, that I honestly cannot see how they have any time to further the kingdom, nor further their own walk with the Lord. I do not believe for one minute that God gave people, any person the job of finding all “their” ideas of a false teacher. I know personally if thats all I was doing all the time, day in and day out, my joy in the Lord would be wiped out. I would be angry on God’s behalf and quite unfulfilled in the word of the Lord. Besides the fact that the Lord does not need me, you or anyone, to do anything for him. He does however love us and desire us for his own.  I am sure you have all seen and or heard at one time in your life the saying, United we stand, divided we fall. If we divide up and take firm angry stances against one another’s small and or secondary beliefs we are simply dividing ourselves from one another. We as the whole body need one another to function correctly. How can a body function if it’s many parts are going in different directions, it would not work!

Here are some verses that speak of the unity we are supposed to be.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Psalms 119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Jeremiah 32:39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Matthew 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.  Are you some one else’s master? Do you know God did not or did give that person this thing to speak on? I tell you the truth not one of us knows the mind of God and or what he may have assigned someone else to do.
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.   YES let’s not think ourselves wiser than another brother or sister in Christ. Romans 13:13-14 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.Rom 15:5-6 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.”Evil communication” is that not throwing down accusations of false teacher when it is more than likely not a salvation issue ? 2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Ephesians 4:2-6
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:15-18 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.  Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Philippians 2:2-5,8
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Are we obedient when tearing a brother or sister down? Philippians 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Colossians 3:12-16 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Teaching differently about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, is false teaching. God does not look upon the earth and care to see anything other than, Washed in the Blood, not washed in the blood. God does not care about wealth, food, race, clothing, and hair style. He reads your inside your heart, not your outer trappings.

1 Peter 3:8-12 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.You are not honoring God nor your own family in Christ by being jealous of someones wealth. By being angry at someone supposedly on God’s behalf. Anger is never and has never been of the Lord.

In closing let me say this.  What is the Body of Christ?  The body of Christ is composed of the various Christian and Messianic Jewish fellowships exhibiting the fruits of the Holy Spirit. So if God places his Holy Spirit in a person, he or she is a believer, it’s that simple. Paul clearly stated that true believers in Jesus could possess a very wide range of differing secondary beliefs and still be genuine believers. So we must drop our prejudices toward each other due to differences in secondary beliefs.
What is the sign of a believer in Jesus?  Jesus, before His death and resurrection, commanded his disciples—believers and followers of Him—TO LOVE EACH OTHER (John 13:34-35).  That is how Jesus said others would know we are his disciples.  He said the world will know we are His if, and only if, we have this love for each other that He had for all of us. Also read Romans 14:1-23. Just love one another. Show the world we are indeed Christs, and that we love one another. There is going to be a time coming when the words love your enemies are going to be the hardest to live by. The Lord loves the whole world enough to have sent  His son for everyone who accepts. Even satan knows a divided body cannot stand, thats why he works so hard to divide us.

May God Bless us all and bring us closer together to meet our goal of bringing many to the Lord.
Love in Christ,Tammy
