Love in the Body [podcast]

 


“One fold, and one shepherd.” (John 10:16)

Do we have a slight clue as to how much the LORD loves His children? (See 1 John 3:1-10.) He also requires that those who will be His obey Him, walking with Him according to His Word (Matthew 7:21; Ephesians 5:25-27; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.).

The UNITY God’s Word speaks of is ALWAYS and only on the foundation of TRUTH – the written Word!

God is not the author of unity at the expense of His truth. For example: The Catholic church is a works-based antichrist pagan cult and is plainly not part of Christ’s body (Ephesians 2:8-9). Of His beloved remnant body, concerning them being one with Him and the Father and the true body of Christ, Jesus prayed to the Father “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). The only and non-negotiable foundation upon which the true body of Christ lives, is the written Word of God (Psalms 119; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17, etc.). Christ’s true body is set apart unto Him on the basis of their love and obedience to His truth (John 8:31-32, 47).

May God bless us to afford to others the same grace we personally need in working out our own salvation with fear and trembling before our God (Philippians 2:12-13).

—– YOUR participation, using all the gifts He made you with, as a vital member of His blood bought body, is of utmost importance, especially in this late hour…. 1 Peter 4:11 says: “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Only two types of people in the earth – saved and unsaved, those in the light and those in darkness. Mankind is one fallen human race – in need of the one Savior! THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! (John 8:44; 10:9-10)

One way to God’s Salvation for all – Christ. Just “One Body”!

The phrase “one body” appears 11 times in the New Testament canon. Selah. “One” – just one!

In salvation, there’s only one way to God for both Jews and Gentiles – Jesus Christ. There’s only one body of Christ, made up of the saved, whether their background is Jew or Gentile. There are not two ways to God. Beware.

“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.” 1 Corinthians 12:13

“There is neither Jew nor Greek … for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

Read Ephesians 2.

“And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:” Ephesians 2:16

Ephesians 2 – The body of Christ is only one body. Your nationality, bloodline, genealogy, supposed religious pedigree, or background means nothing anymore. Christ died for all men to make one body. We are one body in Christ, bought by the blood of the LORD Jesus Christ. Now, read Ephesians 2.

MANY Jews today have their pride in being a Jew and not in Christ. Dangerous, damning. Read this closely: “For the scripture saith, WHOSOEVER believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.” (Romans 10:11-12)

The Gospel was presented first to the Jews, then the Gentiles (Romans 1:16). That doesn’t make them separate, a separate body. We are but “one body” in Christ.

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5

Nothing in the New Testament could be more clear that that there is only “ONE body in Christ” made up of both Jews and Gentiles and only one Gospel (Galatians 1:6-9).

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16

It simply says the LORD presented His Gospel first to the Jews but then to the Gentiles after the Jews as a whole rejected their Messiah and still do.

“And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.” Galatians 6:16

The question arises as to who Israel is. “The Israel of God” is the body of Christ made up of born again Jews and Gentiles. Read Galatians 3:28; 6:16 and Ephesians 2. The LORD is going to restore Israel back to Himself in the days ahead (Romans 11).

The church is made up of both Jews and Gentiles and is “the Israel (people) of God.” (Galatians 6:16)

Jesus said, “I will build my church” – not churches. He has only one church (Matthew 16:18).

The Great Shepherd Jesus has only One Fold, One Born Again, Blood Bought Church

“And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” John 10:16

Summation of the above declaration of the Son of God: According to Jesus, those of His “one fold” hear the voice of Christ and follow Him, truly and not via a local church …. “daily” by way of the cross, the crucified life, just as He prescribed (Luke 9:23-24).

So many today waste their lives in this temporal world, having sold their souls to the local church, where their allegiance goes instead of to Christ.

The next time someone asks what church you go to, you may wish to answer with this:

“Jesus has only one church and His people are His church. It’s who we are, not where we go.”

Didn’t Jesus tell us to know, to discern all “by their fruits”? (See Matthew 7:16-20.) Yes, He did. What has the modern church produced? The apostate modern church has produced a generation of counterfeits (Proverbs 30:12; 2 Timothy 3:1-7, 13; 4:2-4, etc.).

ARE YOU seeking and obeying God for yourself OR are you sinning away your day of grace as you bear a mere form of godliness? (Read 2 Timothy 3:1-7; Hebrews 12:14, etc.)

The Evil Winds of Satan with Judge Travis Bryan III [podcast]


Acts 27

The Significance of the Shipwreck

39  And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

40  And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

41  And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

42  And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

43  But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

44  And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

The cross message, as taught from the Bible via brother Travis Bryan III, is unsurpassed the world over. His understanding of the cross life, his understanding of the cross message, is a gift from God to us all. What a gift he has been granted to teach the cross. Many will be in glory as a result. The cross is essential to eternal glory (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6, etc.).

Warned and Safe [podcast]



“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4

PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach

“Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28
Did you catch what the apostle Paul did to prepare the church to meet Christ?
  • Preach
  • WARN
  • Teach

Lynne Parker writes:

“I truly believe Christians will be tried by the Word in this hour. There is no more riding the fence or taking a neutral position. God Himself will place us all in a position to stand or fall according to the Word. “Deception” and its sister “delusion” are gripping the Body of Christ – like a dark cloud it is covering the land. The false dominion (NAR) theology and signs and wonders movement has effectively conditioned multitudes to forsake the authority of God’s Word and embrace their subjective feelings as guidance in discernment concerns. But in these latter days only those who divorce their feelings and trust only in God’s Word and have developed a love for the truth will overcome the devil’s schemes. Sadly many will be lost – it’s unfolding right before us.”

Teach the Bible [podcast]


JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE”

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

The best way to learn is to teach.

HOW well do you know your way around in God’s Word?

Jesus knew His way around God’s Word. Do you? If not, why not?

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he FOUND the place where it was written,” Luke 4:17 

The disciple of Christ must daily and diligently search, study, and learn God’s Word in light of His Great Commission command to us to teach His Word to others (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ability to minister is in large part based on our knowledge of God’s Word or the ability to navigate God’s Word (King James Bible).

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – OBEY GOD, “PREACH THE WORD.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)  

Tip: Always know WHERE you are reading in God’s Word – chapter and verse. You’ll be surprised at the repertoire that begins to build, making you, like Jesus, a good navigator of our LORD’s Word as you preach His Word (Luke 4:17).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

“As I was listening I was thinking of Paul. Who was a very educated man in the law. But after he was saved he spent three years being taught exclusively by the Lord Jesus Himself. And he says he “conferred not with flesh and blood.” But he was taught “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Gal 1:12-18). All of us should be taught by the Lord in His Word and not learned through mere men or books. But by a direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1, Rev 19:13).” Karen Cochran
