Classic Christianity – We The Church – Part 3 – 9-24-25

We The Church – Part 3 – 9-24-25

~ Ephesians 3:1-7
“For reason of this, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles… Surely you have heard of the administration of God’s grace, having been given to me toward you, that He made known to me the mystery by revelation, just as I have written before in brief, which, by reading, you are able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as now it has been revealed in the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets, that the Gentiles are joint-heirs, and a joint-body, and joint-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus, through the gospel, of which I became servant according to the gift of God’s grace, having been given to me according to the working of His power.”

Things are being revealed in the Spirit to those who are His children today. Don’t listen to what Man and demons say. There are some today that are swallowing the lies of what is being fed to them by satan and his transformed agents as Truth. The deception is in overdrive, and people are swallowing it hook, line and sinker. Learn to identify the demons, and stop listening to them. And learn to identify those who are deceived, and reach out with Truth to them. That is the Truth in Love.

Get off this world based idea that this is a political message, of right vs left. This is about understanding that both sides have been deceived beyond measure and are two sides of the same coin. For our focus is to be on Christ Jesus only, and not what some demons say to focus on the politics of conservatism. Yet the later is what most are focusing on and listening to today, politics.

If you are a True child of God, His Holy Spirit will be pointing the Truth of this out to you. Learn to listen to Him, and Him alone for ALL Truth. That is what this season of deception is ALL about, learning how to depend on God, the Holy Spirit and God alone for ALL TRUTH. Stop listening to Man and demons teach lies, and only listen to what the Holy Spirit teaches is TRUTH.

Today, we who are in Christ are not to be promoting Man or demons. We are to be promoting Christ Jesus only and the Holy Spirit who is One with Jesus. Stop listening to what Man says, and start listening to the Holy Spirit speak to you, if He indeed lives in you. And learn to recognize the deceivers that are ALL over the place. Why on earth would you want to listen to a deceiving demon speak, instead of the Holy Spirit Himself? And if you don’t know how to identify the difference between the two, you will easily be swayed by deception. Because you will believe the lies being taught to you by the deceivers themselves. And make no mistake about it, those that were taught in seminary, are more indoctrinated and deceived themselves, because they have trusted in the doctrines of demons and Man having been told to them. And they pass that on to others as though the things they learned in seminary are true.

Paul and the Apostles ONLY promoted Jesus, not some political discourse discussion. Think about it folks, how much sense does it make to get hooked on the bandwagon of worldly teaching? Don’t let Truth go in one ear and out the other. Learn to hear the Truth being taught by the Holy Spirit Himself and throw away the deceivers. And there are many many deceivers in the world today.

Do you not know that the Apostles and first century True believers went through Great Tribulation? Do you not know that the Temple itself was destroyed and all the records were burned of who is a True Hebrew or Israelite by BIRTH for today? Do you not know that Jerusalem was destroyed? Do you not know, that Jesus warned THAT generation about ALL of that which was shortly to come to pass on THEM? Do you not know that He told THEM to flee to the mountains when they saw these things coming to pass? Do you not know that we who are in Christ Jesus are the Temple of God today? Do you not know that Jesus told the disciples exactly what was SOON to come to pass? What if everything we were taught for today by Man is a lie? What if things are not what they appear to be? How would you know TRUTH? Is the TRUTH going to be taught by Man or God? Does it matter? Yes, it all matters. For Truth matters in ALL things.

Ephesians 3:8-20
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was given this grace: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ 9 and to enlighten all what is the administration of the mystery having been hidden from the ages in God, the One having created all things, 10 so that now through the church the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to the purpose of the ages, which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence, by faith in Him.

13 Therefore I implore you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 … for reason of this I bow my knees to the Father, 15 from whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named, 16 that He might give you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man, 17 for Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, being rooted and being founded in love, 18 so that you may be fully able, with all the saints, to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, so that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

20 Now to the One being able to do exceedingly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power working in us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. Luke 18:18,19

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26
—

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “Now again, remember what it’s told the scripture that no eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor mind has conceived of those things that God has prepared for those who love Him. But it must be what? Revealed by the Spirit. Now that means that if you have been taught by God, and God has revealed to you the truth of the Word of God, that that information has been made known to you by revelation from God.

Now you see guys when we settle again for this group mentality. Is that I’m going to go and learn what the Bible says from Bob, and whatever Bob says, then that’s what I’ll believe, or whatever Dr Jeffer says, or Dr Criswell says, or this or that, or this man says, That’s what I’ll believe. And so you go to a charismatic church, and what do you come out believing? What the Charismatics believe. You go to a Methodist Church. What do you do? You come out believing nothing. Excuse me, what the Methodists believe. You go to a Presbyterian Church. What do you do? You come out believing what the Presbyterian has been taught. Go to the Baptist Church, what the there, come here, come go out and believe what I say. What I’d say the difference here is I tell you don’t believe me, and I’ve been telling you that for 20 years or 30, do not believe what I say to you, because I could unknowingly be lying to you. And the way you’re going to know whether I’m teaching you truth or not is if you go into the Bible and by revelation from God, let God teach you the Word of God. Now, have I been depending on God to teach me the meaning of the word of God, and so have you, we’re going to be in harmony with each other and just love the daylights out each other and to think both of us are brilliant, but we must be taught by God. If you’re going to know what God means, then you’re going to have to be taught by God. And that means that God can use teachers, which he does. And Pastor teachers, talks about that he gave them as gifts to the body of Christ. Evangelists as a gift. It’s not a gift of evangelism. The evangelist is the gift to the body of Christ that he’ll use those people to communicate and to open up the Word of God to people and to reveal to them, hopefully, what the Spirit has revealed to them. The problem is that most of the time, the Spirit of God hadn’t revealed anything. They’re teaching what they learned in seminary. And so don’t confuse me with facts, my mind’s made up.” ~ Bob George

Bob George 0:29

What did Jesus say that he came to do here? Guys said, I came to do away with that. I came to destroy that, and I came to do away with it, and I came to void it out. So that there is no separation that the HEBREW and the Gentile alike are one new person, a child of the living God. You say, Well, why don’t people go along with that? Well, I don’t know why, but we still like to be Messianic J@@s. And I say to that big deal, I’m a messianic Gentile. Why do you want to identify yourself down here. Why don’t you just call yourself a child of the living God? What does it matter whether you’re messianic or not? Messianic believes you believe in the Messiah. We wouldn’t even be talking here if we all didn’t believe in the Messiah. So why are we making these delineations? Why do we say, well now all of us HEBREWS are going to worship over here, and we Gentiles are going to worship over here. Is that what God came to do? Is that what making people one is? Now guys is it or isn’t it? No, it isn’t he said, I want you to be together. I want you to see yourselves as one new creation, a born again believer, not a HEBREW or a Gentile, but a child of God. You see how easy it is, guys, for us to get off. It’s just like this building of the house of God that’s off. You’re off, and you’re off whenever you put your delineation that, yeah, I’m a born again Christian, but I’m still a HEBREW, a born again Christian, but I’m still a Gentile, and I don’t like those HEBREWS, and those HEBREWS don’t like the Gentiles. It’s ridiculous. He said, I called the two of you to become one, one new man out of the two, and by making peace. And in this one body. Now, this is not the natural body. This is the spiritual body, in this one spiritual body, to reconcile both of them to God, through the cross, through the cross, that what is going to bring the two of you together is the cross. I will be your peace. That’s when you’re going to have peace when both of you are worshiping the same Jesus in the same way, not not separating yourself. Oneness, oneness.

Guys. Do you see the importance of oneness? Do you see the dynamic of sitting in a room like this with people of all colors and creeds and backgrounds, and yet seeing each other as one? You see, is that a neat deal, or isn’t it? It is, to me, I just marvel. I just want, I just think it’s phenomenal, people of all different denominations, people of all different backgrounds, people of all different color and creed. And yet in Christ, we’re one. What brought us together? Christ, Christ, not church, not a building. We’re all here together because we like the building. No, we’re all here together because we’re all part of one body. Christ is the head and we’re the body. We’re the church. People should get that in our heads. I wish our pastors would cut this stuff out, and I hear it on radio, just cut out this. Welcome to the house of God. Welcome to grandma’s house. Hope you have a good time for an hour so you can leave.

Pardon me for getting so upset. It says he’s going to reconcile both of them to the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. Now, how did he put to death their hostility? By destroying and abolishing in his place the law with his commandments and regulations. The Gentiles had no law and rules and regulations, so the law separated them. God said it’s over. We’re all now going to be saved in the same way, and it’s not going to be by the orthodoxy that you’ve been seeing in the J@@ish world, or the non orthodoxy, or the non religion in the Gentile world. We’ve got something brand new coming. And so he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who are far away. Who was that? The Gentiles, and peace to those of you who were near. Who was that? Now how do we know that? Because the gospel went first to the HEBREW and then to the Gentile. It was approximately 18 years before Cornelius, as far as I can figure, was saved the first Gentile that we know about in the Bible that was saved. So it was first to the HEBREW and then to the Gentile through him. Now we, both HEBREW and Gentile alike, have access to the Father by one Spirit, not by your ancestry, but by one Spirit. Consequently, now he’s talking to the Gentile world, to you and me, basically in his room. You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household. Built on a foundation of the apostles and the prophets which Christ Himself as the chief cornerstone. So who is the center of all this? God, Christ, Jesus, and who are we? Well, it says that we’re members of the household. We’re members of the Body of Christ. Now it goes ahead to say in verse 21 in Him, in Christ, Jesus, the whole building is joined together. So who is the building? Is it this walls here, or you and me? Who is it guys? You and me. So we’re the building. This whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord so where is the temple? Where is the temple? Is it this place, the building? Or is it you and me?

You see, if it’s the building, then I’m going to start ultimately worshiping the building. Guys, I am not anti church. We are a church. This is the church. You are the church. But what we have done in Christianity is organize God right out of the church, right out of the body of Christ, and very subtly, satan has deceived us by getting our emphasis off of us being the body and putting it on leadership, just like we do in government, you’re not important. We are. Is that true? Are we unimportant? Or is it just the congressmen and the senators and the presidents that are important? Who are they up there for for you and me. So let’s not discount or allow someone to con us into thinking that we are not the important ones and they are. It’s the very opposite, and that’s God’s way of doing things in the body of Christ, he said that you’re the body. This whole building has now become a holy temple, and in him, you two are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit. Where does God live guys? In this building, or in you in this building, which is it? How many of you heard, oh, I walked into that building and the spirit was thick. You could have cut it with a knife. Have you heard that? How many of you heard that kind of stuff?

Two knives, yeah, guys, if the Spirit was thick, it was because you were controlled and filled with it. It wasn’t because of anything in this building. Quite frankly, I’ve never had to cut through anything in this building, so there may be something wrong with us, but I don’t think that the Spirit is so thick you got to cut it with a knife. That’s the kind of talk that we get used to, though, guys, you see how easy it is. It sounds good, it sounds holy, and it sounds it sounds really spiritual. And so we use it doesn’t have any meaning to it. Fact, it’s nonsense, and as a matter of fact, it is false teaching. And yet we say, Praise Jesus. No, my friends, you and I are the Spirit of God, are indwelt by the Spirit of God, and where two or more are together, there I am in the midst of you. Now, can you imagine church without Jesus? So if two of you are gathered, where’s the church? If you’re the church, where’s the church? Isn’t here on Sunday, it’s everywhere. Wouldn’t you hate to think, guys, that’s where it’s for you, I’m going to go worship, isn’t it? That’s really sad to think that the only time you worship is an hour on Sunday or Saturday or whatever day you want to glory in. If you’re in Christ Jesus, the Bible then explains that having Jesus living in you is your act of worship. What is worship in the New Testament? Making your body available to the living Christ to live his life in and through you. That’s your reasonable act of what? Worship. What have we reduced that to? Come here on Sunday and worship only. Worship an hour, half hour a week. No, no, no. If you look at worship as God looks at worship, and if worship is making your body available to the living Christ to live his life in and through you, how many hours a day you supposed to be doing that? Every day, every hour, every moment of the day is supposed to be available. If God hears my body, I’m available to you to do it and through me what you want to do. If you want eyes to see through here they are. Want a mouth to speak through. Here it is. Want ears to listen. There it is. I’m available to you. That’s worship. Wouldn’t you hate to think the only time you did that was an hour on Sunday, but that’s what happens when you put your emphasis on a building and an organization, instead of you being the organization or the organism, which is better than an organization.

Now for this reason, now in chapter three, for this reason, I Paul the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles, Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you. Paul is saying that he was called by God to be the administrator of the grace of God. This mystery, we’re told later, was revealed to the Apostle Paul and to the other apostles and prophets. But he said, Paul is to be the administrator of it. What’s that mean? He’s going to tell you how to put this thing into action. That’s how you organize it. The administrator. They’re the decision maker. And so Paul is in that in that situation, that if you’ve got a question in regard to this grace of God and in part of this body of Christ, this is who you go to. He is my called administrator. And so he says, For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you. By this he’s going to explain it now, this mystery made known to me by revelation.

Bob George 14:16
Now again, remember what it’s told the scripture that no eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor mind has conceived of those things that God has prepared for those who love Him. But it must be what? Revealed by the Spirit. Now that means that if you have been taught by God, and God has revealed to you the truth of the Word of God, that that information has been made known to you by revelation from God.

But I want to ask you the question, how could the Baptists be right and the Methodists be right, and the Presbyterian is right, and the Catholics right and the Lutherans right? How can all of those be right when they’re all in contradiction to one another? How can they all be right? Have you ever thought about that? How are they going to be right? And how are you going to know which one is right? Or how are you going to know if any of them are right? Because all might be wrong, and that, my friends, is why and you and I have the unbelievable privilege of God, not only of walking boldly into the throne of grace, calling him daddy father. But being taught by daddy father, it’s a promise that, if you’ll open up this book, I’ll teach you what this book means. You say, who God? How is he going to do that through revelation, through Revelation. Now, who would you rather be taught by God or me? I hope God. And folks, I just cannot encourage you enough the to number one to take advantage of this unbelievable privilege that God has given us. This is a love letter. This information is a love letter from God, say, trying to assure you doing everything in his power to assure you that, Richard, I love you with all my heart and soul, to convince you of that, convince you of that. I love you. I died for you. I demonstrated my love for you, that while you were yet a sinner, I came to die for you. Nothing can separate you from my love, nothing, no person can, no trial, no tribulation. In all these things, you’re more than conquerors. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. That’s a love letter from God. I can tell you that, but folks, you’re not taught that until God tells you that.

And so we have to realize that this mystery has been made known by revelation, as I’ve already written briefly, and in reading this, then you’ll be able to understand what Paul says, his insight into the mystery of Christ. I want you to understand my insight and then let God reveal it to you, which was not made known to men in other generations. This was not something that is revealed in the Old Testament or in the Old Covenant, not revealed. You’re not going to find it there. And people try to commingle. I’m sorry. There’s no commingling to be done. This is a new deal. This is a new covenant. This is new information. This is information that can be understood, because I’ll explain it to you. It says, as it has now already been revealed the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. So that eliminates the fact that this revelation was only to the apostle Paul, because Paul says, No, it was revealed to the apostles and the prophets as well. But I’m the administrator. This mystery is that through the Gospel, the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body. So no, it’s no longer just Israel, but it’s a HEBREW and Gentile alike, members together now of one new body, sharers together in the promise of Christ, Jesus and I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.

Paul says, although I am less than the least of all God’s people, it’s a real cocky attitude, isn’t it? Humility. Here’s the apostle Paul, one of the most unbelievable men, probably, that the world has ever known. He said, I’m the least of them. I came and I was given the grace to preach to the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration how this thing works. Of the mystery, which for ages past, was kept hidden in God who created all things. His intent was that now through the church, now again, who’s the church? Is it an organization or an organism? Is it a building, or is it people? The church? People. You, through you, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms. Is that good news, guys, are you excited about this ood news?

You know, I went to the doctor last week, and they did an EKG, and my heart was stabilized, and, man, I thought my doctor was going to shout and do a dance. He was so excited. He’s just a wonderful guy excited for me. He was more excited for me than me was for me. And I thought to myself, it’s kind of like this. A lot of times. We ought to get excited about these things. This is good news. This is wonderful news to know. When you look at the world around us today, and especially right now, is there anything you can think of in the world that you can put your confidence in right now? Can you put it in the government? Can you put it in a banking system? How about the stock market? Now, guys, these were three things that a year or so ago you had really confidence in, didn’t you? Do you have it today? Then what can you have confidence in? Do you understand that all these things are being ripped away, all of these false confidences are being ripped away, and I say Praise God for it. Why? Because it’s going to leave us with only one option, and that’s where you can put your confidence and never, ever be disappointed, and that’s in Christ, Jesus. So guys, as we study together, I appreciate the fact that you come to listen, and that’s important. The Bible tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. The Bible tells us that we need this kind of fellowship. The Bible gives us teachers. But in the final analysis, what God wants you to do is to get into this word on your own and ask the Spirit of God to reveal to you the meaning of it, and let God be your revealer. Can you do that?

Let’s pray together. In Him, we’re told and through faith in Him that we. Have the ability to approach God with freedom and with confidence, and God encourages us not to be discouraged because of the sufferings around us, but to pray and to thank God for the fact that he lives in us and that by faith, that we could be controlled by the love of God that has been shed abroad in our hearts. So I thank You, Father for the truth of this word. I pray that next week that we will have a wonderful time of celebration over what you accomplished. This is not a time to bring glory to us. We haven’t done anything to bring glory to but this is a time to bring glory to you who worked in the hearts of people that in the midst of financial trials and tribulation, generously opened up their hearts and their income to do, quite frankly, a miraculous thing in this financial time in our history, pay off this building. So we’re going to come and celebrate that truth, not just the payoff of the building, but to celebrate the God that enabled that to happen, to celebrate it together with our loved ones, our friends from here as far and far away, celebrate it with Dave and June. Celebrate it with the people that will come to share their lives with us. And So Father, we want to thank you for today, and we pray that you’ll take these things and embed them into our hearts, for we pray it in Christ’s name and for his sake. Amen.
