The Body of Christ

Apostle Tracey Robinson All Rights Reserved 2023

Introduction
• The Word of God written as the Holy scriptures is God’s communication to man that reveals His plans for the spirit Man, His plan for earth, and His plan to impact earth through Man.
• So, to communicate with God and to get a response from Him is to know Him and obey His Word in Spirit and in Truth.
• God honors His Word above all word(s) (Hebrews 11:1-4), and He honors the name of Jesus above all names under Heaven (Acts 4:12).
• Spirituality is God’s program for the spirit Man. God’s Word is Spirit. God is Spirit!
• Religion is man’s program along with all the things he create design, form, and fashion from the imagination of the thoughts of his heart based upon what he believes and feels that God wants.
• Man created religion and denominations to please God on his level and not on the level of spirituality that God requires.
• Denominations are set up by Man to serve, praise, and worship God as he believes God deserves with no response or whether God responds.
• Remember Cain and his offering sacrificed to God and God’s response to it in Genesis 4:3-7. God had no respect for the sacrifice of Cain. God has no respect for our sacrifices of praise, giving, and worship when our heart is not cheerful, and is grudging toward Him.
• God told Cain if he does well, he would be accepted, but if he would not do well sin lies at the door of his heart.
• God will respond to you in acceptance or unacceptance when you communicate with Him through your prayers as to whether sin is still at the door of your heart and that what you are sacrificing to Him is an abomination to Him.
• Man’s heart according to the Word of God in Genesis 6:5 is wicked and evil continually and God knows it. Jeremiah 17:9-10 God tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things and is desperately wicked and He knows it. God said that He searches the heart and try the reins of the heart, even to give to every spirit man according to his ways and to the fruit of his doings.
• The Word of God teaches us in St John 2:23-25 that many believed in the name of Jesus when they saw the miracles, He did in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast day. But Jesus did not commit Himself to them because He knew all men and did not need for anyone to testify of man for He knew what was in man.
• Man’s religion gathers itself around dead history, its rituals, customs, and ceremonies of his past.

The Spiritual Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
• “And have been made to drink into one Spirit” emphasizes the unity of believers through the Holy Spirit, regardless of our backgrounds of sin, we are all part of the same spiritual family, and being nourished by the same Spirit. Drinking from the same spiritual source lights up to show our shared experiences and connections in Christ. This is the true Body of Christ described as being baptized into one body and given to drink One Spirit.
• This happens when the Holy Spirit regenerates us and takes His dwelling in us. This is the same as being included in Christ!
• Being in Christ and in His Body as a member of His Body every member of His body hears the same words, thoughts, and imagination His heart because He is the Head of His Body.
Romans 12:5 So, we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Ephesians 1:22-23 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church, 23 Which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

The Spiritual Church
St Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
• The Church which Jesus purchased with His own blood was founded and established upon the faith of Peter (rock) when he spoke through spiritual discernment the answer to the question Jesus asked in verse 15, “but whom say ye that I am?” Jesus’ response to Peter was “blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven”.
• The Church is the Body of Christ.
• The Church is compared to the human body and has many members yet remains one body and each member plays a vital role.
• This comparison is an analogy. A comparison between the spiritual and the natural for the purpose of explanation and clarification to the Word of God.
• So, regardless of what we know, do, act, or say the Word of God is Spirit and we must conduct ourselves as spiritual members of the spiritual Church in the earth.
• The Church is not a building, the Church is YOU! You are individually and corporately used as an agent or agency on the earth for the Kingdom of Heaven and its governing authority being portrayed, demonstrated, and manifested on the earth that which is in Heaven.
• The Church, which is the Body of Christ is made up of the unity of unified believers, born-again, and filled with the Holy Spirit and its directives according to the Will of God in Christ.
• The Church, which is the Body of Christ is NOT made up of non-believers or believers that are still in sin, transgression, and iniquities. This is not so and cannot be because the Body of Christ, who is the Head is Holy.
• The spiritual Church is the body of spiritually transformed believers with a responsibility to carry out the mission of God and His Kingdom as she makes disciples throughout the world, teaching the exact Gospel of Jesus the Christ.
• The Church is a special body with Jesus as the Head, led by the Holy Spirit that obeys the commandments, laws, and statures of God with a commitment to accomplish the completed work of Jesus the Christ in earth.
• The dictionary defines the Church as a building for Christian worship; regularly held religious services for public worship; a local congregation of Christians; a distinct body of Christians having a common faith and discipline.
• The spiritual definition of the Church is a spirit being used for praise and worship in public, having the same faith and discipline as Christ to obey the Word of God, as He demonstrate His presence, His power and authority for His plans and purpose on earth through the spirit of Man in you.
• Christ Jesus is responsible for the Church and its instructions and guidance of His body, that is in the body, to the body, and through the body.
• Jesus must be resurrected in you to understand and know that His resurrection in you will establish the Church in you.
• The Church should always give out the spiritual need for the soul of man first, as it gives attention to the physical, natural need of his humanism.
• Man in his religion has placed himself above the need, desires, and pleasures of the Lord God which says he is not in the Body of Christ nor has the Church been resurrected in him when he does these things out of God’s order.
• Man shall not live by bread alone. Deuteronomy 8:3 And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know: that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
• The spiritual Church possesses the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven with its authority to bind on earth that which shall be lawfully bound on earth as it is already bound in Heaven; and to lose on earth what has already been declared as permissible and proper to be loosed in Heaven (St Matthew 16:19).
• We are the visible Church working spiritually in our orders and commands received from the Kingdom of Heaven that lines up with the Words of God.
• We are the visible Church that is a consecrated House of Prayer where we all assemble ourselves together on one accord to pray, praise, and worship our God to hear from Him instructions through His Word.
• On the other hand, the religious visible so-called Church is too busy doing what they feel and want to do then offer it up to God, but it is not effective to the Kingdom of Heaven nor for the Kingdom of Heaven, therefore God does not answer to its religious practices, gestures, and forms of godliness.
• This leaves the religious believers where they spend time trying to manufacture power through the flesh to get a response from God with their songs, dances, shouting loud noises, praises, and worship to a god that only responds with blessings, blessings, and blessings.
• They will teach, preach, and minister messages that Jesus did not teach, display, or demonstrate in the earth.
• They spend too much time focusing on things that are good for and good to according to man and on things that God is no longer in, but they keep on dancing, singing, teaching, and preaching messages that sound good to their ears with a hope that God will move in response to their way of doing.
• The spiritual messages preached and taught should come from the New Covenant of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is not a part of the New Covenant but is our reference of proof that the New Testament is true and sure.
• We should not be living there in the Old Testament, nor should we be trying to get a revelation from there because its not about what Moses or the major or minor prophets have said and done but it’s what Christ Jesus has said and is saying to us today.
• The religious visible Church is so far away from hearing God they must make up words and phrases that become rituals to one another that sounds spiritual with God’s righteousness attached to it through His Word.
• Man’s righteousness and his religious belief is not God’s Order, Plan, or Purpose for the spirit Man and earth.
• God’s response to man today is to shut up, hear, and wait for Me to speak the instructions of My Will for you and to you for earth.
• The purpose of Jesus was to restore kings and deliver the Kingdom back to the Man Adam that was lost.
• Adam refers to the species of Man and was once a king.
• God gave them dominion over the earth which is the territory God gave us.
• Adam fell from the glory of God and dominion when he lost the power and authority in God and over the earth when he disobeyed God’s Word.
• Jesus Christ came to earth as the last Adam and was made a quickening spirit with a job and an assignment to restore the Kingdom back to Adam (that is you and I) and to restore Adam (you and I) back to the Kingdom.
• In His two different assignments He completed the work of God assigned to His heart, soul, and hands.
• So, when we become a part of His spiritual body our natural bodies become His Temple dedicated to Him and inhabited by Him.
1 Corinthians 3:16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
• All of this is a part of your Salvation packet and its benefits when you are born of the Spirit, St John 3:8.
• Remember it is God that must give birth to you Himself as a spirit being by consummating your spirit to impregnate your spirit with Himself.
St John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the Will of the flesh, nor of the Will of man, but of God.
• This scripture is talking about Jesus’ way of getting here and is your processed way of getting back to the Father in your spirituality. It is the spiritual reversal of how God did with Jesus.
• This is the new creature, the new man in you regenerated by the Spirit of God.
• The Church is clearly equated with the Body of Christ. Ephesians 5:23 for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the savior of the body. (Colossians 1:24).

Amen
