The Body of Christ.

The Gospel starts with Christ sacrificing His physical body for us, He gave it to us. Yes His physical body hung bare and nearly naked on the cross, but the body given to us was His body of who He was before “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1). That in the beginning He was Word of God first and then”dwelt among us” a representation for both dimensions, flesh and Spirit.

But the new life that He gave us through that sacrifice at the Cross, was His Spiritual self of God in Him, broken down into words of spiritual conceptual realities, so that we in turn put off “the body of the sins of the deeds of the flesh”, and not so much the flesh itself because the flesh body you inhabit, is the innocent bystander, and is incapable of sin without you, just as vessels such as are used for transportation cannot be charged wrong doing, because the driver is responsible.

Now our new body is a spiritual body like Christ was before He “dwelt among us”. As we “the called” are instructed to “put on Christ”. And we do this one revelation at a time, one after another for as much as you can, so that the verse becomes true in you. That “you are complete in Him who is the Head over All principalities and powers”. So that for us to be completely like Him, is based upon what you think, say and do and not who you see in the mirror. This is us “with (unveiled) open face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Christ, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit.

And to be “by the Spirit” means NOT the man in the mirror of the flesh but “WORD”. As we look to His Word, and why it has to be mentally or “spiritually discerned.”

Word is for our spiritual consumption. Our”consummation of our fullness of time to be gathered in one to that One” of things in Heaven from earth. We do this mentally and not in a carnal way.

So when Christ said to take and eat, this is My body”. Then they broke bread and ate, that was Him teaching in parable form of consuming word “for without a parable spake He not to the people”. His eternal flesh is word that we consume to become like Him as we are emersed in The Holy Spirit. (John 1.1)..

Now because of that, we as “living stones” not really stones but solid truths, are built up a habitation for God in the spirit”. This is our new abode. That “flesh and bone does not inherit the Kingdom of God”, but we say that the respirited mind of faith does, and it does so with the immediacy of our ability to receive Him as He is (John 1.1) Speaking of the Son of God who was introduced as The Word of God, who is also “the fullness of the Godhead body”. That is what we become as well, as Them living inside of us. And we say “them” just as a matter of understanding the componants of God, of which were broken down in vernacular for our understanding only. But God is Echad”. The Greek word for One.

So then for us who are His body (of believers) attached to Him as our Head, as His “living stones, assembled together a habitation of God in the Spirit”, in the here and now!

That “wherever two or more are gathered, there I am in their midst.” This has nothing to do with brick and mortar churches made of men’s devising. Such man made structures are distractions and can only obscure these truths. We are His building project, and we are His body of believers in a dying world.

Yes, the resurrected body of Christ is His building because He assembles us “for a habitation for God in the spirit.” This is His body of believers, and members of His household, the House of God.

For in truth, every time the word “Church” appears in scripture, it gives the illusion that a man-made building has some kind of importance to the Godhead body. But even in the Law era, they were told “when you build a temple for Me, you shall not use hewn stone, for in the day you do so, you have defiled IT. Do not associate Me with such!” (meaning man cut brick), because God does not want us to associate His body with buildings, churches, cathedrals or anything else visual, because His members are peoples souls. That is how we are His Living Stones, His body and witnesses in a dying world. Flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom but the re-spirited mind of faith does.

The point is, the Gospel preached as ‘The Kingdom of God at hand” is eschewed by man-made structures.

That His body of believers is His people of “living stones built up a habitation for God in the spirit”. This is “wherever two or more are gathered in My name, there I am in their midst.”

This is the communion and common union of the saints, speaking of your Eternal part of spirit and truths as distinctly different and in contrast to all your physical expectations.

But we are in the process of putting of the body of the deeds of the flesh, so as not to mix with the ways of old. That “all things pass away, behold all things become new and all things are from God” who brings us together (in Christ).

And it started with them going house to house to assemble “wherever two or more are gathered (and assembly) in My name, there I am assembled in their midst”. So as not to confuse us.

Even as Christ said to the Jews “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

He was not speaking of their brick built temple but His body. That was taken to the cross, buried and raised a spiritual habitation of God in the spirit. A body of beliefs into believers.

But the Jews argued

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But Jesus spake of the temple of his body. whose body we are. We are the raised in the resurrection. Even as the Holy Spirit in Isaiah says “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise!”.

And because in the Beginning was the Word, the word was with God and the Word was God. When we dress the spirit of our minds with WORD, meaning Christ who “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, for us to be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. (Of kind begats kind as with all species).

That we are a kind of first-fruits of His creation, through the transformation process of Word. That Christ was the dissemination of the genetics of the Father, left here in Word form for our retrieval to have and to own to be One with them. Even as Christ prayed and said “Father, I would like for those you have given Me to be one with Me, that where I am, they may be also”. And that is Word.

So don’t get stuck in the same mindset as the Jews or the Old Law Covenant sacrifices as such that are just blasphemous rejections of the one time sacrifice of “The Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world” that their sacrifices were to teach them about the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. That is why all their efforts were blasphemous so that “how many were righteous? None! No not one!” (Romans 3)

For even as with their temple, again today they are expecting another scenario as in the days of old by associating all their man-made places in trying to duplicate the days of Old Testament times that were meant as teaching toys for “children” and destroyed because they never transitioned into the real, eternal in the heavens of our minds. So to do as they did, will receive a worse punishment then the last time the Jews pursued such a blasphemous notion. The transition is us to Him and not the other way around. For God to manifest Himself here is not who He is

And how can it ever be said that you put on Christ if you continue to reject these truths? He became one of us, transformed or transfigured and now calls us to Himself to be like Himself, WORD!! That when we see Him as He is we will become like Him. Our whole sojourning here now is for our transference and transfiguration from the temporary to the Eternal. And this can ONLY be done by Word and Spirit because that is who and what was left for us to do so. This is the gospel. Amen!

For they never associated with the Eternal they were to be learning about, and instead thought God was a bloody God needing a death dose through animal sacrifices, when all those pictures were foretelling broken down in understanding for their consumption but they rejected Christ at the cross and said “Yes! Let His blood be upon us and our children”. And so it was. “They knew not the time of their visitation” and His coming because they were expecting a King on a studly horse and rejected the pauper on a donkey.

Even as we are instructed for communion with bread. These are parables too. That “without a parable spake He not to the people”. He said “Take and eat this as My body, take and eat all of Me”. These are referring to Him as “The bread of life from Heaven who gives life to the world.” One revelation at after another, Once again using physical parables to promote invisible realities as having to do with “The Kingdom of God at hand”.

That is itself a call into the invisible as well, as using physical counterparts to convey invisible realities “in Christ”. So that if we are in Christ, we should be able prove this through words because He is Word first. And we become word after. This is us eating Him who said, “take and eat, eat all of Me”. Is to speak and testify to the things that we’ve seen and hear (in the Spirit) and no one (using a carnal perspective) receives our testimony.” That these all have spiritual values. That God is Spirit and Truth and seeketh such. To associate Him in the physical is to insult Him. For scripture says “when we see Him as He is, we shall become like Him”. Is not meant for this world. For “He came into His own, but His own did NOT receive Him, but to as many as did (and do) receive Him (as He is Word) to them He gave power to become His children, even those that believe”. And this “to them He gave power to become” has to do with becoming something that the word describes as being actual, factual, relevant and true as soon as you do. Amen!

That He comes as “The breath of His mouth and the Brightness of His coming” is like Paul experienced at his conversion where he saw “the blinding light brighter than the mid day sun”.

This is what dropped Paul to his knees where he said “who are you Lord”. And Christ answered as that bright light, that “revelation light” that we all experience as we hope you receive here to become the new you. That for us to be assembled together with these truths, we are the body of Christ, being a body of words, become phrases, become realities, and edicts that becomes an assembly and body of truths of the Godhead Body living in us so that we can have our sole, soul dependency there, in Word, thee Word that made all things. That we go back to the beginning to where the fount of words started from and quit fighting against the waves of distractions that try to keep you of guard by saving yourself with the worlds instrumentation’s. Why? Because flesh and bone does not inherit the Kingdom, but the re-spirited mind of faith does. And it does so with the immediacy of your ability to receive it it in the form it is presented to us. How else can the Kingdom of God be at hand ?.

We are the Body of Christ! A reassembled body of words. Gods Word!

In this way, The Kingdom of God is at hand, even now! Amen!
