We who are the brothers and sisters in CHRIST are slowly, but surely being blended together and shaken out into a beautiful Holy household of JESUS CHRIST.  Did you know?

I feel this unity more than ever, when I am surrounded by the body of CHRIST and we all with hands raised, are worshiping with song and heart.  GOD designed us to want to worship HIM with all our hearts and souls……..and so as the body, we worship as one, around the world.

If you think about it, we all work hard to keep our own households in order with rules and love……we strive for peace within.  So how much more is JESUS preparing HIS Holy household here and now because HE promised that HE was preparing a place for us later……

JOHN 14: 3-4 “WHEN EVERYTHING IS READY, I WILL COME AND GET YOU, SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME WHERE I AM.  AND YOU KNOW THE WAY TO WHERE I AM GOING.”

Did you catch that?  JESUS said we “know the way”.  HIS word and HIS grace guide us in truth so we will know the way.  Knowing the way, gathers us together as believers.  The way not only draws us to JESUS, but it draws us to one another.

WHILE HE IS PREPARING THERE…….HE IS ALSO GATHERING HERE.

Are you part of that gathering?  Yes you, are you attending Church regularly to know and feel the body of CHRIST and it’s function and witness in the world?  If not, I encourage you to not go it alone…….you cannot be isolated from other like-minded believers.  Only because, we can encourage, support and love one another and JESUS, in HIS power, transforms us, together…….yes together as a church body…….the loving body of CHRIST.

This body of CHRIST is the entire church communities on mission for JESUS and the GOSPEL message in the world.  

ALL OF US SHOULD CONTINUE TO MEET WITH HIS GUIDANCE, WORD AND WISDOM WE WILL  GROW INTO A HOLY HOUSEHOLD.

As we all live, eat and breathe and have our being, we all will transform…….together, into a Holy household and JESUS is watching and guiding us as we live in the communities around us.

As we worship, other bodies of believers worship around the world and our unity is the one true GOD of the universe, our HOLY priest, JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS leads HIS church body in the way we should go:  moving forward and transformed into HIS image.  How can you experience this on your own?  You cannot!  You need other believers around you to test you, to sharpen you and to encourage you whenever you need encouraging and strength for your journey.

REVELATION 2: 7 “ANYONE WITH EARS TO HEAR MUST LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING TO THE CHURCHES.  TO EVERYONE WHO IS VICTORIOUS I WILL GIVE FRUIT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE IN THE PARADISE OF GOD.”

WE as the body, will become true and faithful saints, who are promised victory over this world.  Let us understand this…….together having ears to hear. We are to………

REVELATION 2: 10 “…….BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE.”

JESUS wants us to be faithful to HIM and to one another as long as we live.  HE is preparing to give us those crowns.  So let us gather often, together as HIS HOLY HOUSEHOLD, as HIS ROYAL PRIESTHOOD!

We are bound together for eternity……..and looking forward, we will one day be with our LORD, in heaven, in the HOLY HOUSEHOLD of GOD receiving our crowns with other saints, many of whom we worshiped with here……together as one body!

ROMANS 12: 4 “FOR AS IN ONE BODY WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS, AND THE MEMBERS DO NOT ALL HAVE THE SAME FUNCTION, SO WE, THOUGH MANY, ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST, AND INDIVIDUALLY MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER.”
