Resurrection Life Church

How do we continue to grow in our walk as we face each day? Why is it so important that we do? There's a battle going on between spirit and flesh that we must overcome, but we cannot do it alone. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, then our own spirit is directly impacted by Him. We cannot help but become more like Him, living a life guided by and yielded to Him. He is the Helper, who helps us to walk forward.

In the beginning God created us in His image. Unfortunately, over several millennia we have turned it all around and we have “created” a god in our image. So, the question that remains is who is your God? Is He what you’ve created in your mind to be or does He existed outside your own constructs and mind building skills? If we see God for who He really is, we will never be put to shame or fear the future. Why? Because He is so much bigger than what you, me, or the greatest minds of mankind could ever imagine!

We all have a destiny to fulfill that God has for each one of us.  Whether we are followers of Jesus or not.  The times in which we live in are chaotic at the very least and insane at the worst.  No matter what our times and circumstances are like, this is our time as Christians to live a life that honors God, people and magnifies Jesus.  As Jesus followers He very clearly told us how we are to live in these times.  We should walk as wise people who redeem the time because the days are evil, and we have hope that the world needs.  This is our time to shine as lights that point to our heavenly father.

Life is full of ups and downs.  Sometime more downs than ups.  But as a follower of Jesus we know that the same God that is on the mountain top with us is the same God who will also be with us in the valleys of life.  You can find beauty in the darkest and most challenging times of your life.  Jesus never promised us a problem free life, but He did promise us a stress free one.  “My peace I give you.” Jesus declared. Not just to His disciples that were standing in front of Him but all the ones that would come after them.  That’s you and me.  Today look and find the beauty in the valley.

If we are a body of believers that make up the body of Christ here on the earth, then just like our physical bodies that have very different functions that each part does, then we as the body of Christ do as well.  No one is more important that another or less than another.  We all play our part in the body.  We must not just learn this with our intellect but with our hearts, so that our soul will manifest in the physical the perfect working of the body together.  Each part plays its part to bring honor and glory to the one who created it in the first place.  When the body is whole, we then can reach to the world around us and offer them the hope, joy, peace, and love that binds us together.

Over the last two millennia the Church has been called many things.  However, what God calls her is the Body of Christ and as that body we are connected to Jesus and He to us.   When Saul was persecuting "Christians" Jesus spoke to him on the road to Damascus  and asked him, "Saul, Saul why do you persecute Me?"  Why would Jesus ask such a question?  Because we, the Church, are his body.  If we love one another (the Church i.e.the Body) we love Jesus and vice versa.  "If we have done it unto the least of theses we have done unto me." says Jesus.  Let's love Jesus by loving one another, the Body.
