Divide and Conquer...The Body is Fighting Itself!!!

I don't mean to beat a dead horse or cause any discomfort to anyone. But I've been part of several different denominations. That's why I can said they all (denominations),have their good and bad points. The doctrine is what chains us down and puts us in bondage because it isn't always in-line with what the Bible says (it's usually weaved/mingled with the Word, or stated in such a way that many don't question it). Different denominations are the result of disagreements or what was being taught and so someone started another one. The fact remains we are still one body that is suppose to do all things in love.

The most important and common thread that joins us is CHRIST. That makes us many members of one body. If you don't like the diversity of this body then you should never accept Christ. Because once you do you're stuck with us (each and every denomination). An example of this is how organizations function. Many people of diverse tongues and cultures come together for a common cause.

I can laugh at what I'm about to say because I was surrounded by people in more than one denomination that stated "the Internet is of the devil". They truly believe that. I took me a long time to understand why people are so quick to credit the enemy with the things that God does. The one reason Christendom fights and sometimes begs for prime time on TV. Some say that's the one-eyed devil (TV). The Television and the Internet can be used to minister in places that you'll never have to set foot in. How can such a powerful tool be credited to the enemy? Blindness and refusal to change. We can agree to disagree and do it all in love. Because the Holy Spirit is the one that brings light, truth, and understandable revelations not man. Man is just the tool.

39. "But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40. For he that is not against us is on our part. Mark 9:39-40

We must be vigil in our prayers and understanding for each other and the world. We must also be willing to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow Him if we as a body are to mature. The enemy uses denomination and religion to divide and conquer. We get so wrapped up in ritualistic things, arguing about denominational differences, and weighed down with denominational protocols until we act just like the world because we lose sight of Christ, love, and what He told us to do. We are fighting amongst ourselves and against the Body.

One thing is true: If we realize and act as if we're not perfect then we'll will be more open to the changes that the Holy Spirit will show us. This will cause us to come together as a body and help others is need. Once we come to the realization that no one church group is perfect and we each have a part to play (together) and combine our skills and attributes we will be able to sweep across the earth with very little opposition. We must wake up and come together if we are to prosper and take back what's rightfully ours. There should not be one person in the Body of Christ that cannot reach out and help a sinner (spiritually and naturally).

You must know that you are blessed and part of a wonderful diverse body and it's all because of Christ.
