Paul prayed: That Christ would dwell in our hearts rooted and grounded in love, and that we would be strong, and that we could apprehend with all the saints (past, present, and future ) what is the breadth and the length , and the height , and the depth , and that we should know the love the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, and that we MAY BE FILLED UNTO UNTO ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.
Then Paul went on to explain how this is going to happen, saying , Christ gave to the Church, profits , pastors , teachers , apostles , for the perfecting of the saints for the building up of the Body of Christ till we all attain unto the unity of faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, and that we will become a full grown man, and this full grown man will contain the fullness of Christ Himself.
This prayer Paul is praying, is it just a pipe dream, or is he showing a vision of things to come? What if, he is seeing a vision of a life after this life? If it were a life after this life, why would he have prayed for us to put away the man that is growing old with lust and deceit ?
Paul is saying, we as the Church have discovered the reason for our existence .
We no longer are powerless before satin. Jesus took the power of satin away. Now because we are the Body of Christ we posses that which Christ possess. That which remains for us is what we were created for all along.
These bodies we are assigned to will no longer have domino over us. We have possessed them as tho it were a class room. We will always be freewill creatures. How would we ever learn how dreadful this free will could be if we were not taught? What better way to be taught than to expose us to the ultimate temptation.........living in the flesh.
Will the Body of Christ ( the Church ) ever come to except who they are and why? After all churches today cannot even agree on what is moral.
It seems like as the Church we are going backward. But remember this, all these were prophesied from the beginning. Even now there are individuals,like grains of salt sprinkled through out humanity. If it were not true God would have spat us out long ago. We are the salt of the earth.
The purpose of the Church is to sum up all things in Christ Jesus. That is what we are destined for from before the foundation of the earth was laid.
We who are are chosen should no longer submit ourselves to the deeds of the flesh, but our purpose is to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, self-control against which there is no law
If you look at the Church, the way it is today, you would not be optimistic toward these things coming about. However do not despair for one thing is for certain, we the Church have yet to see the power of the Holy Spirit and what it can achieve.
We belong to Christ Jesus, what He has we have. Soon, and very soon, He will reveal Himself in a might way. Soon you will hear hundreds of thousands of voiceless singing out to Him in a new way.
CAN IT BE POSSIBLE ? YOUR THOUGHTS
