SENIOR CITIZENS TODAY AT 10:30 AM
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Matthew 16:18, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
With my spirit I can participate in Christ as the Son of the living God.
Based on this the Lord says, “Now you release Me and I will relate you in My building. Your participating in Me as the Son of the living God is the rock upon which I will build.”
There is fellowship, there is something in us that automatically happens, when we are together enjoying Christ, the Son of the living God.
Participating in Him causes us to be outgoing in the spirit.
We want to be together, to sing together, to fellowship, to forgive.
It is His Person and His work that releases Him as the Builder.
You cannot build yourself.
You cannot relate yourself to anyone, including those closest to you.
But touch Christ, interact with Him, let Him be your portion, your person.
Take Him, eat Him, drink Him, turn to Him, and see what happens to your insides.
Watch your insides change–you want to be with other brothers and sisters, you want to fellowship, you want building, you want to drop everything just for the dwelling place of God.
This shows us that Peter was under revelation when he saw that the church is a participation in the Christ, the Son of the living God.
When we participate in Him, He says, “I will build. I will connect you. I will fit you. I will frame you.”
It is in this realm that it happens.
This is the reality.
So the church is not something we can perform.
It is not something we can organize, set up, or even agree about.
It cannot happen apart from people participating in this Person.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
