It’s Wednesday, but Sunday is coming. And what a great day with God’s people it is going to be. It is going to be a praise service. I promise I will sit in a chair and behave. But I am so excited to share with you what God has done and is doing in me. Remember, the service begins at 10:00 AM! Don’t be late or you will miss a lot. Do you ever have leftovers the next day? Well, this service is going to be so good, if you must watch it on video later, it won’t be the same. Thank you for your patience with me and the prayer list. My heartbeats list may be off, so if I have left anyone off or if you know anyone who would like to receive the beats, just send me their cell number. Again, thank you for allowing me to be,
“YOUR” Pastor
Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Ephesians 3:8, “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;”
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Paul begins here to explain some of the details of the church, the mystery of Christ–how this unique one Body is actually realized on the earth.
It is realized by all the members together enjoying the unsearchable riches of Christ.
It is realized by discovering in your daily life the unique answer for every situation that exists.
This includes what exists in you inwardly – your inward problems and turmoils, your inward state.
It also includes what you face outwardly–the things happening in your environments that affect you.
The unique answer is that all your environments are to PROVE how rich Christ can be “in” you and “to” you.
Instead of living in your moods and in your anxiety, you make a transfer.
This transfer happens by calling that precious name, Jesus.
When you call His name, you put yourself under a transmission of all the riches connected to your spirit.
You activate your spirit and God begins to move in you.
There is a flow.
John 7:38 describes this flow: “Out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living water”
This means we enjoy the unsearchable riches of Christ again and again in whatever we pass through.
Paul says that he is telling all the nations about these unsearchable riches of Christ.
This is how the church happens.
This is how the Body takes place on the earth.
You do not organize it.
You do not name it.
You do not set up shop.
You do not bring in entertainment.
You do not set up programs–nothing like that.
That is all a substitute for Christ, and a facade.
Instead, you just find people–ordinary people, redeemed people–and gather them together and let the unsearchable riches of Christ flow out.
This is the church.
Until Tomorrow
With a Shepherd’s Love
