Transcription

1 JOHN.6 6:53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink the blood, ye have no life in you. 6:54. Whoso eatheth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 6:55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

2 ( Progressing to Unity) EPHESIANS.4: 4:12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ: 4:13. TILL (process of time) we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

3 The word Perfecting speaks of a work of progress :It is something in action, something that is going on, something that is bringing something to its final state as a perfect object or thing. On the other hand, the edifying speaks of being lifted up. Edifying does not leave you in the dark, and neither should it leave question. It brings you into the realm of information.

4 When the body of people sitting together in heavenly places in Christ, they will see the things of the Kingdom and see eye to eye with one another in the body. When people begin to sit in unity, it is going to create an atmosphere, where the beauty of God s holiness is experienced. The true unity of faith is when people are united to understand what God s divine design for His children,and His ultimate objective.

5 It is only by the leading of the Holy Spirit that the body of Christ begins to collectively come together, and understand scriptures. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. If you are a child of God, He will take you and put you exactly where you are supposed to be, the family of God. God would bring a nucleus of people out of the denominational systems and begins to put them on a pathway to TILL they all come in the UNITY OF THE FAITH, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT MAN, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ..

6 ROMANS.8 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 8:29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 8:30. More whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

7 ISAIAH.52 52:7. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth. (Romans.10:15. And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.) 52:3. Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

8 The Body f Christ o We had little over 2000 years of Gospel of Salvation preached to the world over. It brought Good News to millions of people world over during this period. o Now we are no longer living in the harvesting or the good tidings era referred in Isaiah.52:7. o We are indeed living in the sorting out or separating period, where the nucleus of people around the world see the truth of the kingdom, see eye to eye. o It is the fulfillment of Isaiah.52:8. the Watchmen represented by the five fold ministry of Eph.4:11

9 o The Lord is coming for His bride that is destined to rule with him for Thousand years. o End time five fold ministry have the responsibility of producing the body of people, which had the same anointing of the Apostolic Fathers. o The Apostolic Fathers produced the New Testament (4 Gospels & Letters) which is the foundation which the Body of Christ come unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

10 EPHESIANS.2 2:19. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. 2:20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 2:21.In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 2:22. In whom ye also are builded together for AN HABITATION OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT.

11 o Without the Anointing many will start and read one page of the BOOK, some chapters of certain parts, hear and there. o They will say it is too deep, difficult to understand, We need not know every thing o Hunger and thirst to know the truth is not in them, they will only seek the Lord at their own convenience.

12 o If we are part of the True Body of Christ, when we get the opportunity to hear the truth, we receive with excitement, and it will have affect and impact in us individually. o End time true church will bear the identical nature and character of the First age church. o The First Age Church demonstrated the Power of God, The Word of God (The New Testament Books) and the very Nature of the Lord in their lives ( They look like Christ)

13 The Five Fold Ministry The Watchmen o End time five fold ministry is the watchmen who will lift up their voice together under the divine unction. o They may not the people who have go the degrees in theology out of seminaries, who like to call themselves, Rev. Dr. Senior Superintendent, Senior Pastor, etc, o But they are men that have been enlightened. Men whom God has dealt with and put the big picture, together in their hearts.

14 The Five Fold Ministry The Watchmen o They are the people that are able to see, line upon line and precept upon precept, of the Holy Scriptures, and show the true picture to the Bride Church. o God will have these men in the right place at the right time to the people whose names are written in heaven before the foundation of the world. o Their ministry will bring harmony, unity, and create great joy to body of Christ, because they will bring enlightenment of the Word, others in the Christian world did not have.

15 ISAIAH.28 THE LORD S PROMISE 28:5. In that day (future) shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his (converted) people. 28:6. (Watchmen) And for a spirit of judgment (wisdom) to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate (protect the city).

16 ISAIAH.28 THE LORD PRONUNCED THE CONDITION 28:7. But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink (false teachings) are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink (false teachings), they are swallowed up of wine (doctrines of devil), they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision (can not see the truth), they stumble in judgment. 28:8 For all tables (so called churches) are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. (Rev.2:22)

17 ISAIAH.28 REBELLIOUS ISRAEL CHALLENGE GOD 28:9.Whom shall he teach knowledge? (they ask from the Lord) And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breast. (Is that what the Lord thinks we are) 28:10. (Isaiah is saying to rebels The Lord s true Prophets will always teach ) For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little.

18 ISAIAH.28 THE LORD S WARNING TO THE REBELS 28:11. For with stammering lips another tongue will he speak to this people. 28:12. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 28:13. But the word of the Lord was unto them (rebels) precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

19 The Five Fold Ministry The Watchmen REVELATION :9. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10:10. And I took the little book out of the angel s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 10:11. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again (Responsibility of the Five Fold Ministry The Watchmen) before many people, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

20 The Five Fold Ministry The Watchmen o God is not going to inform everyone in the religious world, only the Bride of Christ is going to be informed of the prophecy concerning the eminent coming of the Lord. o John who received the revelation is the type the ministry of the Watchmen, who has eaten the Little Book, and now bring forth the word that will be sweet in the mouth as honey and bitter in the belly. o This Message will awaken the Bride when they see the truth of the word that of cause is sweet as honey, only in obedience to it, which is difficult, will make then perfect.

21 The Five Fold Ministry The Watchmen o Once the little element people here on the planet earth are united, are thinking as one, living as one, second part of the Malachi.4 prophecy is been fulfilled.(hearts of the Children to Hearts of the Fathers) o When the task of the five fold ministry come to a close, the Bride of Christ who is led by the Spirit of God, they are ready for the thunders. o The final ministry, the Seven Thunders begins, Bride get the understanding of what those thunders speak, it will acquaint her with the coming of the Lord, and they are then living within a time frame.

22 1 Thessalonians.4 4:15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are sleep. 4:16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a SHOUT, with the VOICE of the archangel, and with the TRUMP of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 4:17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the air: and so shall we ever with the Lord.

23 The Body of the Christ o In the epistles written by Apostle Paul, he is always dealing with the fact the Body of Christ, the mystical body which is the Church. o When Paul wrote these epistles he had nothing in mind about the foolish virgins or white robed saints mention in the book Revelation by John. o God used Paul in communicating to His gentile Bride, when the nation of Israel rejected the Jesus the Christ as their Saviour.

24 REVELATION 19:7. Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his WIFE HATH MADE HERSELF READY. 19:8. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in FINE LINEN, clean and white : for the FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNES OF SAINTS.

25 o The Bride of Christ has made herself ready not once she is gone, but right here on earth, in her every day walk of life. o John portrayed her as being clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Though many have assumed that when they read about white robes it is always talking about the Bride. o The Bride of Christ is always identify with the Fine linen and not white robes. You would not see the Bride one time projected in fine linen in one time and in white robes in next time.

26 EXODUS.26 26:1. Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen.. o When the tabernacle in the wilderness was made, when the Holy Place and the Ark of the Covenant sat in there, the Holy Place was surrounded by fine linen. o This goes to show that God would not dwell behind just any type of material. It has to be Fine Linen.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 5:10. And hast made us unto our God kings and priest: and we shall reign on the earth.
