Ephesians 5:30
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
When we think about our physical bodies, we look upon the parts that make up our bodies,
arms, hands, legs, feet and we we see our reflections in a mirror, we see our head, eyes, nose, mouth, ears........
Our body parts are fitted together to make a whole and it performs the tasks that are needed to be done. But the head is the main drive for the body it is the relay center, harddrive, " the brain" it sends the message to the body parts and when the message is received, they react accordingly, without even thinking,( instant, automatic.)
The moment we are born our brains begin to develop, we begin to learn to speak, walk, and even how to feed our bodies, these things we develop day by day.
We take for granted that everything is fine and we feel very much incontrol of our lives, but I
know and Thank God that only by the loving hand of God I am able to even take my first breathe each morning. God's love and grace substains me and carries me through.
God wants us to be strong in our physical bodies, but he want so much more for us to be strong
in the Spiritual Body, " This Body, The Body Of Christ Jesus."
We as God's children are members of a more excellent body a Glorious Body.
Christ is the head of the body......
Colossians 1:18
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Romans 12:4
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office.
The same as our Physical bodies have many parts but they perform different duties for our bodies.
The body of Christ is also made up of many different parts to perform the duties of the Lord,
according to his purpose.
2 Tim.1: 9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before the world began.
When we accept Christ as our Lord and savior, we are born again, a new birth, a spiritual birth.
Now being babies in our spiritual body, we must grow and develop the same as when we were physically born.
The Physical body grows strength with food, water, exercise.
The spiritual body grows strength fro the living water " Jesus Christ" and the word of God, which is our daily bread which we feed upon and then we begin to grow strong and start to mature. But we often times neglect our spiritual body, " Christ Body " and we grow weak and become somewhat paralyzed.
The Head Of The Body Is Christ and the body of Christ Is " US " ,We should be strong through him and we can be if we allow him to lead.
But we show little movement, our arms hang down not wanting to praise and worship our Father, Our hands do not reach out to others, our ears will not hear the cries and brokenness of
others. Our mouth remain closed when our lips should speak hope and salvation to others and the reason being we are weak, we have not nourished our bodies, our spirit is dying within us, we
can not hear the message sent to us.
Once we begin to take care of our spiritual body through the Living Word Of God, and begin to listen with our hearts, we will hear what the head " Christ " is speaking, the message being
sent, we will react, instant, automatic,through the leading of the spirit.
We the body are to be lead by the spirit.
Galatians 5: 25
If we live in the spirit let us also walk in the spirit.
To live and walk in the spirit we must practice it "daily."
Make time for God " Our Father"
Get alone with God- Prayer time, communications.
Read and Meditate on his word, daily.
practice speaking God's Word.
Give Honour and thanks to God for what he's already done.
Have faith in God and place your trust solely in him.
Then be still and listen with your heart to what God has to say to you.
If you are born again and a part of the Body Of Christ then just put your trust in him " Believe"
God can and will use you and God be the Glory.
Phil. 4: 13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me
1 Cor 3: 9
For ye are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, Ye are God's building.
Ephesians 2: 22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the spirit.
Let us Let God reign in our bodies and Christ Jesus in our hearts and shine through us everyday.
Let's get unparalyzed and be renewed in strength and get our parts moving for our Lord.
Let Christ Lead
" There is no greater leader.
He is King Of Kings, Lord Of Lords and has paid the ultimate price,
" The Cross " The shedding of His Own Blood.................
For a perfect bride " US " The Body.
He is so Worthy of our praise and we should be willing working parts of him, ( to do whatever he may ask of us. )
May God Bless And Keep You And Guide You In All Truth.
A-Men.
