Summary:
Today the Lord has chosen to manifest Himself in and through His people. This is where you will find His Word, leading and Lordship. Walking with Christ is simply walking with a revelation of Christ in your brother and sister as you submit to one another in the fear of Christ.
Show Notes:
The Lordship of Jesus Christ is manifested through people.
The Word and leading of the Lord many times comes through your brother and sister.
The Lord has placed Himself in His family and that is where He is being manifested.
We must have spiritual eyes to see the Christ in our brother.
We must trust in the Lord and not lean on our understanding of things to enter into this walk with Christ.
We must stay connected to those that the Lord has placed in our midst.
We walk with His Lordship in our spiritual family.
Quotes:
The Lordship of Jesus Christ, the enemy of it, it's the headship of man versus the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
The Lordship of Jesus Christ comes through people.
...that word you're looking for, that direction you're looking for, is going to come through your brother or your sister.
If you're saying that you're submissive to the Lord, then what you're really saying is, I'm submissive to my brothers and sisters...
The lordship of Jesus Christ is gonna come through men and women of authority.
Don't go looking for Him somewhere else when He's placed Himself in His family.
You must have a spirit of revelation and knowledge from Him so that you can see Christ in yourself and Christ in your brother.
...it's important we stay connected in with the body of Christ or with it with the family.
Jesus is called Savior in the Scriptures only 16 times. Jesus is called Lord - and in my preference - sovereign over 700 times.
...there's such a drive that the Father had throughout the scriptures in understanding what we're talking about in the family with Christ as the head.
References:
to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
Takeaway:
The Lordship of Jesus Christ is being manifested through His many membered body. This is where we walk with our Lord, and find our relationship with Him as we submit to the Christ coming forth in one another in the fear of Christ.
