The person in the mirror ,
Is your enemy ( the flesh - because of sin) as well as your friend ( because of what Jesus did on the cross 1 Corinthians ch15 v 1-4 we have the Holy Spirit in us) . So as we war against the flesh, the world, and the Devil daily. Remember who you are .
Life Poured Out
In the law, God says the life is in the blood (Lev 17:11). When Jesus Christ was crucified, He shed all of His blood, abundantly poured forth “at the bottom of the altar” (Ex 29:12) for sinners (John 19:34).
This blood was taken by Him, as our High Priest, and sprinkled upon the mercy seat in the tabernacle of Heaven.
📖 Hebrews 9:11-12 KJV
“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”
Jesus literally poured out his life for your life, and His unjust death to purchase your unrighteous soul from death and hell. And by His resurrection you shall live forever!
Thank you God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ for all you have done for us and all you do for us!
📖 Exodus 29:12 KJV
“And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.”
📖 John 19:34 KJV
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”

HOW DOES A PERSON BECOME A MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST?
.
.
THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS A DEFINITE BEGINNING
The Body of Christ is not simply a collection of religious people. It is a new creation God formed during this present dispensation of grace. Every member has entered the Body exactly the same way.
Paul writes…
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV)
Notice that Paul does not say we baptize ourselves into the Body. Nor does he say another believer places us there. It is the Holy Spirit who performs this work.
This baptism is completely spiritual. It is not water baptism. It is the divine operation whereby God places the believer into Christ.
EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH THE GOSPEL
No one is placed into Christ apart from believing the gospel. Paul defines the gospel clearly…
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel… how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV)
When a sinner believes this gospel, God immediately performs several spiritual works.
Paul explains the order…
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” (Ephesians 1:13 KJV)
Notice the progression…
• Heard the gospel.
• Believed the gospel.
• Sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Nothing is added by human effort.
SPIRITUALLY BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST
The Holy Spirit then baptizes the believer into Christ Himself.
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body…” (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV)
Romans explains what this baptism accomplishes.
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?” (Romans 6:3 KJV)
This is not describing water baptism. Water cannot place anyone into Christ’s death. Only the Holy Spirit can unite a believer with Christ’s finished work.
The moment we believe, God identifies us with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
Therefore we are no longer viewed as being “in Adam.”
We are now “in Christ.”
SPIRITUALLY CIRCUMCISED
At the same moment, God performs another invisible work.
“In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ.” (Colossians 2:11 KJV)
This is not physical circumcision.
Paul specifically calls it “made without hands.”
God spiritually separates the believer from his old standing in Adam. Our sinful flesh is no longer the basis of our relationship with God.
This is why our standing before God rests entirely in Christ.
PLACED INTO CHRIST
Perhaps Paul’s favorite expression is “in Christ.”
That is not merely a figure of speech. It describes our new spiritual position.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV)
Every spiritual blessing belongs only to those who are in Christ.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3 KJV)
Outside of Christ there is condemnation.
Inside Christ there is complete acceptance!
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” (Romans 8:1 KJV)
THE BODY OF CHRIST IS MADE UP OF THOSE WHO ARE “IN CHRIST”
Not everyone is automatically in the Body of Christ.
Not everyone is automatically “in Christ.”
Membership in the Body comes only through faith in the gospel.
The Holy Spirit places every believer into Christ the moment they believe.
There are no partial members.
There are no probationary members.
There are no members because of church attendance, family heritage, religious works, or water baptism.
Every member entered exactly one way — by grace through faith.
WHAT HAPPENS THE MOMENT WE BELIEVE?
The instant a person believes the gospel of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), God accomplishes all of these things…
• Forgives all our trespasses (Colossians 2:13 KJV).
• Redeems us through Christ’s blood (Ephesians 1:7 KJV).
• Seals us with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV).
• Baptizes us by one Spirit into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV).
• Spiritually circumcises us without hands (Colossians 2:11 KJV).
• Places us into Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
• Makes us complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10 KJV).
• Seats us together in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 2:6 KJV).
Every one of these is God’s work — not ours.
SUMMARY…
A person does not become part of the Body of Christ by joining a church, receiving water baptism, trying to live a good life, or performing religious works.
God Himself places a believer into the Body of Christ the moment that person believes the gospel of Christ’s death for our sins, His burial, and His resurrection.
At that very instant the believer is spiritually baptized into Christ, spiritually circumcised without hands, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and given a brand-new position “in Christ.”
Our identity is no longer found in Adam.
Our identity is now found in Christ.
That is why Paul could confidently say…
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body…” (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV)
This is not something we accomplish.
It is one of the greatest miracles of God’s grace, performed entirely by Him the very moment we believe.
I don’t understand how any believer still trusts Trump.
Wake up.
The stage is almost set.
The enemy is probably just waiting on the rapture of the Bride so he can press the green light for everything.
Major earthquakes in the last 48 hours.
6/24 Redwood Valley, Ca 5.6
6/24 Kuji, Japan 6.9
6/24 Venezuela 7.5
6/24 Venezuela 7.2
6/25 Papua New Guinea 5.5
6/25 Philippines 4.9
6/26 Oshino, Japan 5.7
6/26 Philippines 6.5
We continue to pray for all who have been affected as they work to find survivors in the rubble.
I can’t recall ever seeing this many strong earthquakes in just a span of 2 days.
JESUS CHRIST compared one of the signs of the coming Tribulation to a woman in labor pain;
as the baby gets closer, the contractions increase in not only frequency but also in strength.
Many people want to say these earthquakes are manipulated by man whether it be Haarp, CERN, and underground nuclear testing,
but what they fail to understand is that what’s happening now along with the many other obvious signs supports what was written in the Bible thousands of years ago.
Please remember no one is promised tomorrow and absolutely no one wants to be separated from GOD for an eternity.
Again; no one is good enough to enter Heaven on their own human effort.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY.
HE shed His Blood on the Cross for the forgiveness of our sin;
HE was buried and rose again to life on the 3rd day defeating death and the grave.
You don’t have to do anything else right now except believe the finished Work of the Cross.
JESUS CHRIST paid the penalty for our sins in full.
The moment you put your complete faith in Christ you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit.
It’s a Gift from GOD and we can never earn it.
Call on the Name of JESUS now and HE will save you.
We are saved by GOD’s Grace thru FAITH in CHRIST alone.
The warning signs are there- Repent and put your faith in Christ and His finished work NOW.
Very soon EVERY knee will bow- make sure you bow in surrender rather than under wrath.
🗣 Great Warning‼️ 🚨
The rapture can occur any year, any day, or at any time. Suddenly and without warning as it was in the days of Noah 🌊, when the trumpet is blown 📯, Yeshua will gather all believers (the Church) ✝️, who will then be taken out of the world, just before all hell breaks loose in the form of the seven-year tribulation 🔥. Those who have not accepted Yeshua as their Savior are condemned to remain on earth to endure this terrible tribulation 😱. At the end of the tribulation, Yeshua will return to earth to defeat the tribulation survivors in a battle called Armageddon ⚔️.
Why do you think “Christianity” is getting pushed so hard?
Our administration talking about “god” so much?
Because soon, Satan will step out masquerading as “god” and tell the world that we have been lied to and that we can be gods ourselves.
He will tell them that Jesus was an ascended master that was trying to liberate the world and that’s why He was killed.
He will take down the evil government system, and “set the world free”.
They can be apart of a new world where peace and abundance flourishes and everyone is of one consciousness.
Unfortunately most of the church thinks that Satan can’t even talk about Jesus.
They are very wrong.
You have been told lies your whole life. It can’t be helped for the devil has a covering cast over the people of this world (Isaiah 25:7). Great deception is characteristic of these last days (Matthew 24:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:11). Only Jesus is the Light and salvation by the Gospel.
