MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 4-30-12

Goooooood Morninnnnnnnnnnnng!

Let's revisit a word from the Lord....

which is this; "Some want to RECEIVE before they invest the BELIEVE"!

Our God is a God of Free Will, He never forces us to believe & likewise, when His Holy Son put forward His Human life, spilling His Holy Blood for our sins, the moment we accept, acknowledge & believe in that sacrifice only then is the Bond formed and reparation made. Like being ransomed from jail; He then becomes our Lord, Our Master. In that exchange, our New Master & keeper begins to perform & function in our lives, in our hearts, because of that acceptance, free will and BELIEF. That is Faith in action!

God has His hands outstretched to us in so many ways, everyday. Calling out, placing opportunities & challenges in peoples lives; just waiting for them to call upon Him, to place forward the BELIEVE, so that they may RECEIVE! The only equity we have, of any value to the Lord, is that of our belief. It is like Gold, in fact it is of more value. Even displayed on our money, it rightfully reads; "In God we Trust", although, as of late, everyone should begin to wonder has this changed, is it just lip service?! "Your two cents worth", as they say, is the very thing that I speak of. Our opinions, our belief, becuase God made us to have them, he gave us choice but many misuse it. "No one can steal or invade your mind, right?"; even that is not true! Satan can manipulate and turn your thoughts toward things offensive to God. He can invade, pursuade and run amuck! Unless you are saved your mind is at risk, like a computer connected to the worldwide net without security protection! Yes, Satan is a mind virus that effects every unsaved, unsure life! (Romans 8:6)So, while you still have a chance, a choice....make this chapter of your life the one that ushers in Salvation! Every opportunity, every song, every status, every image that speaks of Him, yuppp; they are all opportunities placed by Him that many will and do turn away from. Those very things will be brought up in that day, the day of judgement... when many will claim they did not know, were not aware or had no idea and in that day, the accounting will be replayed for them, no excuse will stand.

Now, back to this BELIEVE issue; God says, to the believer; "If you believe on me for your salvation, then believe on me for EVERYTHING else". Be thou not a hypocrite; ask Him to help your unbelief and He will. Ask for increased FAITH through prayer! Pray for everything and diligently watch, taking notice. Especially, God builds faith when we pray for others. (Eph 6:18) Did you ever pray for someone and then low and behold, it specifically comes to pass? Yes, I have & I keep a journal of these "praise reports". Write yours down, bind them upon your heart and remeber them. This is proof that God hears and this is Faith being built.

Even a farmer knows good seed produces a good crop. To a farmer his seed is valuable, it's money in the bank. This too is why God calls them seeds of faith. Becuase His word, which holds many countless promises for us and our provision when placed in the firmament of God's soil, placed forward through faith, will for sure not go in vain. Jeremiah 17:7-8 His word never returns to Him void, so your seeds of faith never will either! For what you believe that also is what you receive!

I BELIEVE THAT YOU SHALL RECEIVE ALL THAT YOU BELIEVE; DO YOU RECEIVE, THAT ALL YOU BELIEVE, IS WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE? BELIEVE IT & RECEIVE IT! ~ GOD BLESS!

2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Father, help us to fully come into union with you, to lay down our works, our plans, our imaginings, to fully surrender in your embrace. To become so familiar with You and Your ways that we have YOUR MIND, YOUR PEACE....and that Grace is sufficient unto all things. Faith is built and cultivated, help us to remember those times, when a prayer was quickly answered, Help us to also see those prayers that were never answered but more importantly, that if they had been, might have forfeited some other blessing which was needed and required. Lord, help us to trust You, , help us in Our unbelief & in those areas where we have diligently placed forward that Trust in You, please Show up and Show out in such an extravagant way! We are needing to see that! In Jesus Mighty name, we pray AMEN!

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 4-23-12

Goooood Morninnnnnnnnng,

The word Baptism gives us a clue to the method as well as the observance. The word "Baptism" is a transliteration of the Greek word BAPTIZO which means to immerse. In Hebrew it is referred to as a MIKVEH - an immersion. Basically it is an immersion into another substance, for the purpose of being saturated by it, such as water in this instance.The new covenant also presents the immersion of a believer "in the Spirit of God" and also "with Fire".

(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Hebrew_Roots/The_original_foundation/Baptism)

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Baptism is the invocation/invitation to receiving the Holy Spirit, transforming the old wine skins, us, the vessels, to receive the new wine! The Ruach Hakkodesh, the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

John “the Baptist” – practiced water baptism as an obedient servant under God’s ordination, it is a symbolic event signifying a person’s repentance from sin, surrendering their lives to God in full and total obedience.

Most Catholics baptize their babies, as they themselves had been; but it is the full, cognizant baptism in spirit, law and heart, as Born-Again to Christ, that I am speaking of. The biblical baptism is in full immersion, under water; just as the disciples did, just as Jesus did. John the Baptist baptized everyone in the Jordan River, including Jesus Himself. Everyone was completely immersed under the water as a symbol of death to the old life, as a symbol of a new life in Christ, emerge as washed anew.

Matthew 28:18-19 “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”

If you have fully accepted Jesus as your Savior and Lord and have never been water baptized (by full immersion), it’s time! I have been receiving this word and many confirmations regarding it. In and of itself it is an outward observance but it is indicative of the inner observance. After all, water is necessary for soup too, but not sufficient!

Arrange for water baptism as soon as you can and wherever it is possible, a pool, a lake, a church baptismal chamber; the important aspect is full immersion and naturally, a contrite heart seeking to praise, worship, serve and be obedient to God!
God wants us to honor His word, He wants us to be thorough, to follow through, to be genuine in our pursuit.

It came to my attention that we are today, this April 23rd, 21012 about 16 days into the observance of "Counting the Omer." We are to count 7 weeks (49 days) from First Fruits (Yahushua's resurrection) and the following day is YHWH's Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost). Pentecost means, "the fiftieth day." _ Posted by Tricia A.

Shavuot (Pentecost) is seen as the conclusion to the Passover (Pesach) season
the requirements were

1. To appear before Yahweh and in a worthy manner - in bringing a freewill offering
2. To rejoice before Yahweh
3. To remember deliverance from slavery

(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/History_of_Pentecost)

It would be fitting and beneficent to observe these remaining days, by seeking God’s confirmations on this matter. It is a perfect way to culminate this preparatory season by being baptised.

Father, help us to observe every opportunity to please You, to acknowledge You and to draw closer to You. Reveal the wisdom that is held aside for those who diligently seek You. Pour out your blessings upon us and grant us the presence of your spirit to utter fullness. As we yield to Your will, remove every trace of our former selves and infuse our entire beings with Your Ruach Hakkodesh! We ask in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Yehushua, Our Salvation, AMEN!

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 4-16-12

Gooooood Morninnnnnng,

If you are familiar with the Monday Morning Message and have been following for a while you are probably aware of my involvement with the Eternal Body of Christ on facebook. A group that I started around this time last year. Having been involved in several similar Christ centered outreaches online, it seemed the natural thing to do. The many wonderful friendships I have forged inspired me to create a collective gathering spot where we could all come together in worship, to serve and love the Lord. So many of us were individually syndicating our devotionals and messages, we now have a common melding pot to contain it all and to share it with those whom we care for,...YOU! It’s as much for you as for those whom you might invite!

We have grown to over 650+ members. We must remember though, to not keep this to ourselves! The Lord expects us to share and to spread this word. If we each invited just one person we know (we would double overnight!) This should be happening! We can not, simply must not neglect to do this! Please consider those whom you care for and share your page of worship with them!

In my years of friendship with the other Administrators here, I have been edified, blessed and rewarded with such a tight knit group of Godly Intercessory Prayer Partners! I can’t begin to explain to you how amazing a gift this has been in my life! While speaking with Cathy the other day, we discussed a Couple that she and her husband Leon know personally! They are Missionaries (a fancy word) for those who are doing what we are all called to do! They have forsaken all and left their cushy home, family and friends to serve the Lord in a foreign land, surviving ONLY on donations! Cathy and her Husband Leon have modest supply but still found room in their budget to give to these two! I, being in a similar situation, recognize that the Lord blesses me in order that I can bless others, I gladly give what I can. To me it isn’t about sending some large showy amount, it’s about being obedient! One dollar sent with the right intent is better than thousands sent for the praise!

I can speak for Myself and for Cathy, as we discussed how important this is, as the Lord impressed upon us, equally, regarding these two individuals in particular! God is ramping up to use them in some profound ways (we just know it)! As ministers to you all, serving the Lord and bringing you these heartfelt devotions, week in and week out, we ask for nothing for ourselves! We do this for Love of the Lord! We are however... very willing and eager to implore, encourage & petition you to please assist us in this request, please pledge a gift to them. Follow the Lord’s prompting on how much but please don’t be dismayed if you can only spare a few dollars!


James & Paula Anthony work through Global Outreach International, headquarters in Tupelo, MS and are currently directors of Campo Yazo Ministries near Puerto Lempira, Honduras.WE KNOW THEM PERSONALLY, & WE WANT TO CHALLENGE ALL OF OUR FACEBOOK FRIENDS TO PLEDGE a Monetary Gift TO THESE AMAZING MISSIONARIES. If you are able to give more, do so...ALLOW THE LORD TO LEAD YOU. Please help them as they serve the Lord in Honduras.
Send your check to: GLOBAL OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL--- P.O. BOX 1--- TUPELO, MS, 38802---- Write on the check their names, JAMES & PAULA ANTHONY so the funds will go into their account. Desire more information go towww.globaloutreach.org OR www.campyazuhonduras.com.


This is your challenge! Share with your friends the gift of fellowship by *inviting them to our pages and PLEASE, send a gift of support to James and Paula Anthony! May you blessed seven times over for your obedience!

"Give, and it shall be given unto you. Good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal shall it be measured to you again" (Lk. 5:38)

"He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or of necessity (i.e., not because we have talked you into it), for God loveth a cheerful giver" (2Cor. 9:6)

Matthew 20:26

Whoever would be great among you must be your servant.

Romans 13:6

For, for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Matthew 28:18–20

Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

"Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shalt burst out with new wine" (Prov. 3:8-9).

Casting Crowns:
IF WE ARE THE BODY

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 4-9-12

Gooooooooood Morninnnnnnnnnnng :)

Most things that are to be accomplished begin with a well thought out plan, something that is actionable. A trip begins with directions and a destination to get there. Methods and principles are used to govern and control many areas of life and day to day functionality. Let's take for instance your car; if your alignment is out of whack it can cause immense problems in your ability to control the vehicle. It's functionality depends upon each tire being perpendicular to the ground and parallel with it's partner, both front and rear. There are methods for testing it and corrective actions that can make it perform optimally.

We travel the terrain of this world on a daily basis; work, friends, family, leisure and play; but have we stopped to make sure we are in alignment with God's will for our lives? How can we do this and know that we have it right?...What is the baseline?....How can you know when it's all set and you (the vehicle) are in true alignment? It begins by dissecting and establishing the main areas of life that we face collectively, daily. We begin by recognizing where our time is spent, what our overall mood is, our predominant thoughts, our areas of weakness, our strengths and making provision for the occasional what if (that would be the wild card) that seems to come your way (especially when you think you are fully aligned)

Naturally, there is a scripture for every area and facet of life (God is so wise) to provide to us a full recitation if we are inclined to search, learn and apply them. I have found several for the purpose of this topic that should at the least help you grab hold of the wheel in full confidence that progress can be made & maintained for you in your journey which ultimately means getting home, safe into the arms of God.


Dress for success... suit up before heading out...

Ephesians 6:11-18
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;


To handle Stress...

1 Peter 5:7
7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


To control our Language...

Ephesians 4:29
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.


To have dominion over temptation....

1 Corinthians 10:13
13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it


To witness to others.........

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine

Psalm 51:12-13
12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.


To forgive and handle offenses...

Matthew 18:15
15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.


Keep ourselves in Prayer (constant contact) with God...

Psalm 55:17
17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.



To handle our thoughts and actions...

Philippians 4:8
8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Isaiah 26:3
3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.


At work...

Col 3:23-24
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Seek God ...

3 John 1:6
Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:


To treat your spouse....

Eph 5:28
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Colossians 3:18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Lord, as we examine our personal alignment with you, we know that You are faithful to help us discover those areas that need attention. Lord, we surrender our vehicles to You for this ultimate correction. Help us to always stay consistent with this to diligently guard our paths and to maintain this proper way. Forgive us in our faulty planning and sidetracked ways. Help us to always discern the road blocks and detours that could lead to our detriment. We thank you in advance for the constant support and assistance available. Our on board OnStar is Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, may we always remember to ask for this help. We pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Our Lord AMEN!
