‘And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.[/FONT]’ – Ephesians 1 vs 22 – 23


[FONT=&quot]Hello, this is a very nice and interesting topic I am sharing with you, titled ‘The Church.’ Here we want to see the authority of the church according to our opening scripture.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]In our opening scripture, we are made to understand that we are the church of Christ as individual personalities. From ages past, a lot of Christians have taught that the place of their worship to God on Sundays was the church, but according to scriptures, it is not so; Paul expounds on that issue in the book of 1 Timothy 3 vs 15,[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]‘But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.’ [/FONT]
[HR][/HR]

[FONT=&quot]When we combine the two (2) underlined lines, we get a full lined sentence, ‘in the house of God, the pillar and ground of the truth.’ So we see that our place of services is really not the church the Bible talks about; we Christians, whether as separate individuals, or as a body when we gather in the house of God, we are the Church of Christ [/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]Now that we know that we are the Church of Christ, what then is our opening scripture ‘Ephesians 1 vs 22 – 23’ saying about us? We will see now in a moment. The Bible likens our relationship with Jesus as to a body, comprising of the head and other members, in which the body cannot function perfectly without a single member; starting from the head to the rest of the body. 1 Corinthians 12 vs 20 throws more lights on it;[/FONT]


But now are they many members, yet but one body.


[FONT=&quot]With this, we can understand our opening scripture properly, ‘And hath put all things under his feet…Question? If now we know that we are the members of Christ body, if we now know that we make up the body of Christ, and here the scriptures tells us that God put all things under his feet, question, who is his feet? Answer, we are his feet because the feet is part of the body, therefore, scriptures is telling us that God has put all things under the feet of the church which is us, You and I; Hallelujah! You see, that Ephesians 1 vs 22 – 23 tells us that God made Jesus head of the body, ‘…and gave him to be the head…So, imagine that full body, the head is Jesus, and the rest body is us (You and I including the feet), so if the Bible says God has put all things under his feet, it means all things is under our feet! This is inspiring like I told you it would be. The Bible did not say God put some things, but all things! Meaning that cancer, that hiv/aids virus, that ache, that diabetes, that oppression, that spiritual attack, that tuberculosis, that asthma, that ailment is under your feet. [/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]Child of God, when you get to lay hold on this Revelation I am sharing with you, your life will take up a new meaning, Amen.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]Child of God, if you ever feel that sickness, that pain, or whatsoever attacks of the devil it may be, simply speak to that condition, call it by name, and tell it to remain where it is, under [FONT=&quot]your[/FONT] feet! And you will experience the victory of the CROSS of Jesus Christ by constantly renewing your mind with that Revelation amidst the trial. Amen.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]God Bless You.[/FONT]

How do you differentiate between a child of God and a child of the devil?

yay pastor jenning is back!

i always learn something new from your posts...and yet i always receive immediate confirmation from scripture that shows that it is really the -old- truth that God has revealed to generation after generation...

the new thought here for me is that -we- christians are the actual 'house of God' in the new testament era...

the confirmation comes from 1 corinthians 3:16..."Do you not know that you yourselves are God's temple, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?"

Clarification please if you may Pastor?

1. Under his feet or under our feet.
2.church of Christ or Church of Christ
3. the church of the living God as the verse says or the Church of Christ

Question: Who are the hands, the breast, the chest, arm or shoulder if we are the feet?

Thanks in advance...
