The Body of Christ, otherwise known as The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. How delightful it is to contemplate we who make up that Body, are members of an institution that is commonly known as the severely un-common prophesy surrounding the growth and future of this organization, the “Church”, the Bride of Christ.
Before I embark on the concentrations, let it be known concerning my choice of wording in the title, specifically “Ambitious”. Like no other, this little feature has really run the gamut, hasn’t it, the abusive context of such would equate to being; ‘The World’s First!’
That is not what I am referring to, but rather that Apostolic ensample we surely have,
Do you exhibit this? Do you know of anyone remotely close to exhibiting this? That’s hard to pin down, isn’t it? It would be easier to agree to evident fruit than it would to the mounting accomplishments of any one group or individual.
I must admit here, we are almost to the point of over-asphyxiating ourselves on points that divide the Body, which for consecration’s profit for the frailty of the “Unity of the Spirit” and the shape of such a thing, the nearest sort to grow within that unity which is as the world looks on; held by a thread would be to remain in the “quiet, peaceable lives” context.
Still yet, 2 Timothy 3:16 does not remain entirely quiet, does it? She must continue, this Body of believers must utilize with all temperate kindness, an exactness to root-out the old leavening of ‘The World’s First’ spirit of achievement being brought to light of such “correction”.
One particular favorite of mine that likely grieves the Holy Ghost the most is that outlived approach to understanding those “times of refreshing” from the Lord, to which I will forego for the time commenting on.
Any others that are correctable so She can resume growth?
“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me, , For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.”
