GOT CHURCH?

Ephesians 1: 22, 23

And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

JESUS IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH; HIS BRIDE

JESUS is the head over all things and fills all things concerning the Church, which is His body and His Bride. Let those words sink into your spirit; JESUS is LORD of all. This is why every organized religious organization MUST first consult JESUS about how He wants that Church group to serve Him. This is one of the understandings of the Scripture verse, "Seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.". JESUS was saying that, before you do anything about anything, "seek the LORD" first. JESUS also said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you;"

JESUS has a great desire to give, to all who ask Him, the answers that they seek. He does not withhold from those who seek Him with their whole heart and believe that He holds the way to righteous living. The problem is that people naturally try to solve their own issues with their own ideas; leaving JESUS out of the picture. When this happens, and JESUS is not honored as head of the Church, the attempts to live well and prosper usually are a failure. The "Father, please, I'd rather do it myself" behavior, only leads to destruction. JESUS sees the whole picture of every issue and sees the consequences of every action, therefore, He knows what will be effective and will prosper. It is only the wise persons who listens to the guidance and direction of GOD and follow, humbly, the Word of the LORD. Let us all BE WISE!!!

JESUS directs the ministry of His Church. He opens doors and closes others; He provides opportunities for service and directs how that opportunity will be successful. The Church ministers under the direction of JESUS. It is vital that the Church be unified in GOD; edified in the way of the LORD, and be in one accord. We need a revival in the Church; return to the first love and follow Him only, "looking to JESUS the author and finisher of our faith."

CHANGED HEARTS; CHANGE NATIONS.
