To every believer, or wannabe believer, to every Church that Jesus built, there is a message which cannot be withheld any longer. It is a fulfilment of scripture we have long misunderstood, and it must now be brought to full understanding in the whole body of Christ, which is every true believer in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, of every nation, and of every denomination, and those believers of no denomination.

As the body of Christ lay motionless and no longer retaining life in it, so has the Church been ‘sleeping’, while the devil tore us apart.

What was missing, that we began to divide, and be conquered by the devil in so many important doctrines and principles of God, which we allowed to slip away from us, and make us separate, member from member, leaving the body of Christ, the Church, more powerless than it ought to be, for the last two (‘days’) thousand years since Christ ascended back to the throne of God the Father, from whence He came?

We have ‘rationalized’ by our intellectual analysis of our doctrines, and eliminated the one power that the Church was saturated with, which doctrine was the ministry of Jesus, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth, Who alone is the One appointed by the Lord to ‘guide you into all truth.’ (John 16:12-13)

While it is the prime objective of the Church that Jesus built, to preach the gospel, we, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, sons of God, are to become capable of perceiving, comprehending, conceiving, and understanding the truth that is within the word of truth.

Obviously, the greater portion of the denominational assemblies of the body of Christ, the Church, have not attained to that capability.

Look at us! We are hundreds of sub-particles of a once- combined and complete body of Christ. And we do not seem to be particularly concerned about that scenario.

For that reason, God gave Hosea, the prophet, this prophecy which is in regard to our current situation:

Hosea 6:1-3: (about BC724):

1) “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn (apart, separated us), and He will heal us; He hath smitten (us with partial blindness, and spiritual departure from Him), and He will bind us up (bandage us).

2) “After two days (two thousand years) will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live (once again) in His sight.

3) “Then shall we know (not be blind any more, or departed from Him and His ways), if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the moorning; and He shall come unto us as the rain (the outpouring: Joel 2:28-29), as the latter (rain, as upon Elishah, in a greater proportion of His Spirit) and the former rain (as upon the about a hundred twenty on the day of Pentecost, which included the eleven apostles) unto the earth (flesh, us).”

Did we not read the scripture where God dealt with Jerusalem on a similar departure from the Lord God?:

Jeremiah 30:11: Israel had departed from God, and now returned:

11) “ ‘For I am with thee’, saith the Lord, ‘to save (deliver) thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.’.”

Yes, yes! We also have departed from the Lord, and been made into many ‘nations’ (denomi-nations!), in that we have come into non-conformance to His precise ‘pattern’ for the Church of Jesus Christ:

I Corinthians 1:10: Paul is saturated with the love of God, as he says:

10) “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (doctrines, truths), and that there be no divisions (denominations, separations) among you; but that you be perfectly joined (assembled, as ‘particular members’ are anatomically attached in their proper place) together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.”

How many ‘wannabe’ believers have stood, and are still standing on the outside looking in, trying to decide which denomination would be the right one to become affiliated with, because of the many varying doctrines each denomination is teaching?

Let me, at this appropriate time, advise you, who are in that situation:

‘Go ahead and at least temporarily affiliate yourself with one of the ‘evangelical’, or ‘fundamental’ Churches, who preach Christ, Who was crucified for your sins, personally, because He loved you. Then go here:

II Timothy 2:15: If you have, or when you, believe in Jesus Christ:

15) “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed (neither here or at the judgment), rightly dividing the word of truth (the Christian Bible).”

Trust God. He will work personally with you:

As Jesus spoke to a gathering of Jews that believed in Him unto their own salvation, and were born again:

John 8:32:

32) “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Then He said more profoundly:

John 8:36:

36) “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

Why would Jesus tell saved believers they shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free? Weren’t they already free?

Not in the way of which Christ was speaking.

How does Christ Jesus make one who is already a believer ‘free’, and ‘free indeed’?

John the Baptist testified of Jesus, and of His one specific ministry which could not be administered until Christ was glorified in heaven with the Father, as He was before the world was made:

John 1:32-34: John speaks, and tells us God’s testimony of Jesus:

32) “And John (the Baptist, after he had baptized Jesus,) bare record, saying, ‘I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and It abode on Him.

33) “ ‘And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the Same (God) said unto me, ‘Upon Whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the Same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.’

34) “ ‘And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.’.”

Baptism with the Holy Ghost? Yes. Jesus is still doing that ministry today, for the Church is still going. That ministry will not only continue, but will be given more intensively in the 'latter rain', or, outpouring (Joel 2:28), as we see the day approaching, for the Church that 'hears' His voice, and 'follow on to know the Lord', 'The shall we know...', and then we shall be free indeed, and then comes the last harvest of the earth of the lost souls of man, for the final work of God with the Gentile Church; for then all believers will be taken up in rapture to be with Christ for evermore, that, where He is, there shall we be also.

Now at this time, as Jesus walked and ministered to the Jews (exclusively, with few exceptions) on the earth, He never baptized anyone, neither with water nor with the Holy Ghost, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified. (See John 7:36-39)

The apostles were not even baptized with the Holy Ghost until the day of Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus had ascended back to the Father, where He was before the world was: John 17:5.
