Manifesting Christ Ministry

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

Are the Churches, Fellowships, Home Groups, and House Churches in your area ministering as a mature, vibrant, living manifestation of Jesus as a single unified body? Or do they resemble, a medical school cadaver - a body that has been dissected, sectioned and divided into its various parts each one available for examination but without any life? 

The doctrine of devils and the traditions of men are the hindrances and "chains of bondage" that stifle the ministry of Ambassadors, and restrict the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 

Today the traditional Church in Europe is almost none existent, and the same is happing in England. Yet, all across Europe there is an explosion of Islam with Mosque spring-up in almost every city, with the relocation of Muslims many who are radical fundamentalist. 

To effectively counter this, in addition to individuals learning to live and minister as Ambassadors, it is absolutely necessary that believers, Churches, Fellowships, Home Groups, and House Churches learn how to walk in harmony in the Spirit, as the manifested Body of Christ.

Is it Harmony or Meaningless Clamor?

Think of the local Churches, Fellowships, Home Groups or  House Churches as a Symphonic Orchestra, but without a Conductor, each is playing their own music, NO harmony, only noise.  The Conductor is responsible for the selection of the members, and music, his main concern is the Orchestra. 

Having made his selection he takes his place at the front and there is complete silence.  He has complete authority, member play only when he indicates for them to.  Each is responsible for their part and thereby the successful OVERALL performance and each will be rewarded individually.    

In America today, Churches, Fellowships, Home Groups and House Churches are intent on playing by themselves, saying "they are following the leading of the  Holy Spirit".  The sad truth is they have not allowed the Conductor, the Holy Spirit, to take His rightful place. 

I say this because they are not playing the same music and many can not play as well as others, there is NO harmony, there is only confusion and noise!  If the leaders wanted to truly begin 'walking in the spirit' they would stop what they are doing, they would all come together, be silent, and await the direction of the Holy Spirit and His direction alone. 

Their exercise of independence  and failing to work together in harmony is an open rejection of the ministry of the Holy Spirit and an open door of entrance for Satan.  

We have examined the harmony or unity that the Body of Christ should be exhibiting.  But what about the make up of the Body of Christ (the Bride), for an examination of that aspect click here
