REAL VERSUS MEMOREX
Brother James, OIC
Ephesians 1:
12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[a] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
The True and Living Organism of the Body of Christ cannot be recognized by its denominational affiliation, its public respectability nor its goodness but only they who have gone the distance running the race of Faith with endurance to this end: Christ (Anointing) IN you the Living Hope of Gods Glory within. This, my friends, is the summation of matured lasting Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Gal 5:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
True to my namesake my path has been wrought with troubles due to my choosing to wrestle with God. “But God I need that person to make me complete or that person to make Your vision in me work.” No what I need is to respect my trust in Christ (His Anointing in me) in actions more than words. So that when the Head (Our risen Lord and Savior speaks) it is recognized by His Light and Life in me.
What detours recognizing and hearing the Real Head are the many voices of fallen reason our own minds contrive and the lukewarm church and society pumps into our heads. This input from the dark side will never appear demonic but will appear as lighted pathway to a solution but it is a lie.
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
I’ve loved fellow believers fervently and believed God had placed some of them in my path to help fulfill the vision He has given me but at almost every turn there has been disappointment and I’ve discovered peace only comes when I listen to the Head following His Spirit and do what He has called me to do myself. It requires long hours, immense test of stress over physical needs of those who are sent for help then my own ongoing saga of existing yet God is faithful in all things and this is real to the Praise of His Glory.
