Body Ministry

 Eph 5:29-32 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

If  we hurt one of our hands, we carefully touch it, we rub it and cherish that hand ; if our foot is injured we tenderly care for it. Knowing our care for ourselves, we can better grasp how it is that Christ is now engaged in nourishing and cherishing us. We are parts of His Body, the cherished objects of His loving care.

Dear Child,

Be My love extended to the unloved,

Be My strength extended to the weak,

Be My word extended to the despaired,

Be My wisdom extended to the confused.

My church is My Body here on earth,

As My Body, be My hands and feet extended and the answer to someone’s prayer!

Be sensitive to the leading of the Head!

Your physical body is obedient, even without questioning, to that which your head tells it to do. It is instinctive and spontaneous; if your head tells your feet to walk, you walk; if your head tells your hand to lift, your hand lifts.

Even so as My Mystical Body, obey instinctively and spontaneously in the spiritual realm that which the Head is telling you to do!

                                                                       Thus saith Papa

 Gen.2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

God formed Eve from Adam’s side to be a help meet for him. Likewise God formed the church from Christ’s bleeding side that she might be His help meet here on earth!

CHALLENGE: Discern divine appointments for you may be Christ’s answer to someone’s prayer.
