As we assemble ourselves together as a body, we must identify Christ as He unveils Himself in His body.

We can’t answer God’s calling in an effort of self-sufficiency that’s detached from Christ the body. Christ the body isn’t a hodgepodge of competitive churches. God fits us into Christ the body. He designed the body, so we can expect three things. The body will move in God’s order, which God recorded in Scripture. It will move in unity. This body will do the will of the Father. As we assemble ourselves together as a body, we must identify Christ as He unveils Himself in His body. There won’t be any independent ministries in this body. No one will claim to be a chief or a predominant member. The only chief apostle, elder, ministry, or pastor will be Jesus Christ in heaven. The offices and ministries defined in Scripture will be operating. (Your Metamorphosis – Scientia)

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. ~ Romans 8:13-14
(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

For example, your fleshly nature may be trying to draw you into sin. It tells you lies. It tells you to do things you shouldn’t do. Then, the Holy Spirit brings a memory to your mind. It may be some truth from a Bible teacher you heard long ago. It might be a verse of Scripture like this:

So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires. ~ Romans 6:11-12

It might be this verse:

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. ~ Romans 8:12-14

God may bring a word you heard long ago in a church service. You don’t remember anything about the church service. And yet, the Holy Spirit brings a word of truth from that service to your mind. The Holy Spirit may speak to you this way:

That’s your flesh lying to you. You don’t have to do it. You don’t owe anything to your flesh. Listen to Christ and walk in His righteousness.

Christ is the Foundation of the church. We can’t just build any way we want.

Christ is the Foundation of the church. We can’t just build any way we want to on this Foundation. We must listen to the direction of the Holy Spirit and build according to that leading and by the power of the Spirit. He does the work through us. God will use fire to try every work because the church is the manifestation of Christ on earth.

“Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.” (1 Corinthians 3:13)

You must grow up. Being born again is necessary, but the new birth just starts God’s salvation in you. You’re born again so you can grow to maturity.

What is maturity then? Maturity is a state of purity with Christ fully formed within and the works of the flesh put to death. Maturity has two parts: edification and purification.

Edification means building up. The Holy Spirit is forming Christ within you. He’s building you into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.

Purification is sanctification or holiness. God is purifying you. He’s removing the carnal, rebellious, fleshly nature that fights against God.

God is constructing a temple. He’s building it through us. He directs us to build according to the blueprint He laid out in the Bible. This blueprint isn’t a set of rules. It’s the person of Christ.

God is constructing a temple. He’s building it through us. He directs us to build according to the blueprint He laid out in the Bible. This blueprint isn’t a set of rules. It’s the person of Christ. And the temple isn’t without a foundation. The pattern consists of gifts, ministries, operations, offices, and orders. God imparts the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit by appointing a group of elders to lay hands on those He indicates and prophesying over them. The gifts grow into ministries as members of Christ’s body yield themselves to the indwelling Christ. Christ is the ministry in each one. The Father operates the gifts and ministries according to His love and wisdom. (Your Metamorphosis – Scientia)

WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING

We know about wisdom and knowledge, but what is understanding? We have these two verses:

“Lean not on your own understanding.” (See Proverbs 3:5-6)
“Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” (See Proverbs 4:7)

Human understanding is like trying to assemble a giant jigsaw puzzle. Many pieces look like they might fit, but then you find they don’t fit exactly. You get more information, and you find out you have one piece in the wrong place. You can force a piece into place, but it ruins the picture. It’s not just the problem of getting all the pieces in the right place. You can’t get all the pieces, so you never know whether a piece that comes along in the future will conflict with what you think you’ve figured out. If you discover something that conflicts with what you thought you understood, it forces you to reconstruct your paradigm to fit the new information. And yet, there’s more. We have two different puzzles. One puzzle is our own understanding and the other comes from God.
“We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true.” (1 John 5:20)

“We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.” (Colossians 1:9)

It doesn’t end there. We might think we have two different puzzles, but one isn’t a puzzle to be assembled by our deceitful ruminating minds. What we thought was a spiritual puzzle isn’t a puzzle at all. We were trying to figure out what we imagined to be a riddle, but it turns out it isn’t a riddle. It’s the essence and glory of Christ in us. The understanding that comes from God is the Person of Jesus Christ. It’s Christ in you and you in Christ. It encompasses the entire body of Christ including you. A puzzle doesn’t do any work, but Christ the body is the operative and living Kingdom of God. It’s Christ coming (Parousia) in the flesh and unveiled on the earth. (2 John 1:7, James 5:8)

If I try to put the wisdom and truth of God into a container, I’ll find that container to be broken. (Jeremiah 2:13) I can’t find a container that will hold the flowing stream of Christ that comes from the throne of God. All my effort in trying to put the pieces together in my mind just causes a false illusion of understanding. True understanding is the Christ in us that has been built up through God’s by-grace-through-faith process. Christ in us never disconnects from the Father. The stream of life is constantly flowing and immersing Christ in us with true life from heaven. (Your Metamorphosis – Scientia)

When you pray for wisdom, God doesn’t give you a bucket of wisdom. Wisdom flows like a river flows.

When you pray for wisdom, God doesn’t give you a bucket of wisdom. Wisdom flows like a river flows. All wisdom and knowledge come from Christ. Wisdom is the flow of revelation from the throne of God. (James 1:5-8) God’s wisdom is the fountain of the glory, or essence, of Jesus (God’s Word) that flows with righteousness and holiness and delivers us from sin’s bondage. First Corinthians 1:30 says Jesus is our wisdom, and wisdom consists of righteousness (God doing His works through us), holiness (Christ formed in us and the fleshly nature removed), and redemption (the freeing of a slave from sin). Real knowledge is knowledge of the truth. What good does it to do memorize the lies or bare claims of intellectuals? Since Christ is the Truth, true knowledge is knowledge of Christ. And it’s more than just knowing about Christ. Instead, knowledge is God sowing the Seed (Jesus) as we surrender to His grace that we access through faith. And that is the faith that comes to us as we hear the Word (Christ) of God. True knowledge is a transformation in what we are. God transforms us from carnal to spiritual.

As we gaze into God’s perfect law of liberty, we distinguish Christ the body from everything else.

As we gaze into God’s perfect law of liberty that’s like looking into a mirror, we can distinguish Christ the body from everything else. (James 1:23) We concentrate attentively on the revelation God is showing us and realize that what we do to a brother or sister we do to Christ.

If we fail to focus on Christ (the ministry) in our brother or sister, strife and division will follow. A husband who focuses on his wife’s fleshly nature will open doors for demonic activity in the home. A wife who focuses on the shortcomings of her husband’s fleshly nature also tears down her home with her hands. Children who fail to focus on Christ and the delegated authority God has required the parents to fulfill will be unhappy and rebellious. Parents who don’t realize they are dealing with Christ when they deal with their children will find parenting difficult, and this will become evident when the children get into their teen years. The same is true for members of the local churches. How important to see reality as it is! Yes. Each of us HAS a fleshly nature with all the shortcomings of the flesh. However, each of us IS the ministry within with all the authority and power of Christ. That is your identity. That ministry, Christ in you, is who you are. We need each other in the same way the parts of our physical bodies need each other. Members can fail to see the delegated authority in other members, including their elders or the apostles, so pray for eyes to see. We need to submit to one another because, in so doing, we are submitting to Christ. (Ephesians 5:21) (Your Metamorphosis – Scientia)
