The Church:
Church – His body; His fullness:
22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
I have news for some of you. God
doesn’t have plan B. This is it … the Church. If it doesn’t work, then He
fails. However, He won’t fail. God doesn’t know how to fail. Everything He
plans and executes works. We’re part of His body. Since all things were put in
subjection under His feet, they are under our feet. Now some people would have
us believe that we control all things because of that. We do, only so long as
He permits us to. We can only do it if He allows us. We don’t decide, and then
He goes along with it. It’s when we determine that it is His will, and then the
things we’re up against can be put under our feet too. In other words, He
doesn’t just rubber stamp whatever we do. He gives us permission only if it is
according to His predetermined will.
We’re to show forth His fullness …
He who fills all in all. How seldom do we exhibit that fullness!
If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would
say:
"You
are My Body. You are my completeness. I cannot do without you, but you cannot
do without Me either. You are complete in Me, but you need one another to come
into perfection. Apart from Me you can do nothing. With Me we can accomplish
all that My Father has intended. Do not despise those that do not belong to
your group or who do not believe as you do. Together we will succeed in
overcoming the enemy’s plans for the end times.”
78. I am a part of the
Church and therefore a part of His body … the fullness of Him who fills all in
all.
