The Church, Organism or Organization? Continuation part 6, Members?

I find it is necessary to continue to the distinguish the vast contradiction between the organism of the body of Christ the church and the organization of man that man calls the church. In this blog we will look closer at members. “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.” According to God’s Word we are members one of another in Him. And He has stated we are ONE body!

So let’s talk members. I will use myself as an example. I know who Christ is in me and what function He has appointed me to in His body. Wherever I go or with whomever I gather I am who I am in Him. I don’t need man’s approval to be who I am in the body of Christ. In the body of Christ the church, man does not call or appoint or set members in. “But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” In man’s organization man determines all functions and appoints as he wills as it is beneficial to him.   

I will speak plainly with you. I have seen with my own eyes men and women that go from place to place beseeching man to recognize that which they believe God has called them to. Asking man to acknowledge that which they believe God has appointed and to allow them to function in the church/organization. Yet it should not be so in the body of Christ, the church. Beloved, if God has said it matters not what man says! Be assured that which God has appointed He has also anointed with the ability to do that which He ordained.

Since speaking plainly with you, I too for many years looked for a man to submit myself to. I was prepared to join his organization (I didn’t know it was an organization at the time) to do the work of the ministry building the church side by side, arm in arm so that which God has determined in me would have a place to manifest. I am witness to the damage the organization of man has and continues to do to the members of the body of Christ. I too was a casualty of  man’s organization, discarded without regard and as if without value. However, praise be to God He revealed Himself to me through His Word. His truth regarding His church, which He is head of has been made known. Therefore I share His truth revealed to me with you.

Understanding His way is narrow and not without consequence. I realize I have no place in the organization of man other than to speak to those who are called by His name, “you are the temple of the living God!“ Now let me clarify completely so that there is no misunderstanding. I am not saying that where you now fellowship is an organization. I have outlined and described the vast differences in the last several blogs. What I am saying is we are the Body of Christ, the church not the building and not the traditions. That wherever you are function as a member of His body as a living breathing organism of truth, which is His Word. And treat the other members of His body regardless of location or title or affiliation as also members of His body, the church.   

 

Beloved I had to be willing to let go of my concept of “church” and learn the truth of His Word concerning His body, the church and hold unto His truth. Yet for all my knowledge and understanding without you I remain disjointed. For we are ONE body! I am just one member.

We all have a place in Him!  “The eye can not say to the hand, I have no need of you nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” Yet, the heart of an organization sees only the need of the 5 fold ministers (NOT SCRIPTURAL) and often these are they that have been appointed by man who do not have the ability nor heart to function as God determined. As man’s organization has no value for all of the members other than to keep them beholden to himself. Although man will appoint and change as necessary to keep his organization afloat. God never changes. “His gifts and callings are without repentance.”  

Nevertheless, you that believe you are called of God I invite you to come and share the gift of God in you with us at the upcoming Gathering. Or is your function in the body select? You who sit waiting for man to tell you God has told them you have a word. Come! Let the true church of God, the Body of Christ function as we should. If God has indeed appointed you come and function as He wills. Or are you content with the recognition of man? Does God’s appointments only function in one sector?  I would call you by name…. yet I will allow His Word to speak to you! You make me wonder has God indeed called you as you declare.  For if indeed called of God how can you withhold from His body that which He has given for His body?  “Freely you have received freely you should give.” You with your self appointed titles, what do they profit His body? You prophets and prophetess, come! Let us hear the Word of the Lord.

You who teach, teach, preachers, preach and let us all prophesy! Until then His body will remain disjointed and dislocated. And you individual members will you remain trapped in organizations and bound in allegiance to men while proclaiming that Jesus is Lord?  Hence, the video teaching expounding on Jesus being the Word of God! How is it brethren that you say Jesus is Lord and yet fail to obey Him? You claim He is the head of the church, you read the truth stated in this blog, you acknowledge the truth of His Word in words yet fail to act upon truth in deed.  “Why call me Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say?”

Each member individually is accountable to the Head, which is Christ Jesus! And we are members one of another in His body! Is your member-ship in the organization of man or in the organism (living) of His body the church?

 

Now you are the body of Christ and members individually! All members welcome!
