Summary:

Our vision of the body of Christ grows and expands as we function together. The day of the individual ministry is over and now each member of His body adds his unique part to the whole so that everyone is built up and the body of Christ is complete. Our interdependence becomes an element of divine order pleasing to our Father.

Show Notes:

We walk together in this walk with God. It’s not about an individual and longer. It’s about us doing this together. The provision is in the family.

We reach into maturity by walking together in the family of God.

We each bring what we are to the family.

We must have a revelation of who we are in Christ’s body.

There is no one that is not important in the body of Christ.

Quotes:

Individual ministry that stands out, that has this incredible following, does all these signs and wonders, that day is gone. It's about the body of Christ, and it's not about individuals.

I came into the body of Christ - I began to function with other people who had the same heart.

...we're shedding that light into each other; the Christ in us is beaming out His light toward each one of us in the group; and that's being manifested in the whole.

...you can't really come into a maturity in your walk with God without having the family.

What we bring to the family is what we personally have in a relationship with God.

...we can't bring anything to the family, unless we get it from the Father.

It's all being just that one thing in the body to help the rest of the body to function in what it has to be.

...there are different expressions. This is why it's so important that we actually have a revelation of who we are in Christ.

Lots of traps that the enemy sets for you are being shut by this revelation of the different parts of the body of Christ and who you are.

Thank you, Lord, that we are not unimportant in Your sight.

Romans 15:5-6

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus, so that with one purpose and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

James 1:17

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or a]">[a]shifting shadow.

Takeaways:

A vision of the many membered body of Christ is coming forth as each member supplies their unique expression and the body is being built up by that which every joint supplies. In His body there are no unimportant parts, but more abundant honor is bestowed and help is supplied so that His body is made complete.

The golden rule, what we bring to the family is what we personally have in a relationship with God. We can’t bring anything to the family unless we get it form the Father.
