Discerning the Body of Christ Word of the Lord on March 22, 2002

Oh My people it is at the very center of My heart that you would begin to discern that which I have placed within the center of your hearts which causes you to be a lively stone in the temple of the living God that makes up the living edifice I call the Christ, the many-membered Body which is the completion and fullness of My Son who sits on the throne in heaven ruling and reigning and henceforth expecting until His enemies are made His footstool, and until all things are subdued unto Himself.

I am at work within My people to agitate you into the place of understanding that truly I AM a "many-membered Body" and even as the expression of nature is varied and with a multiplicity of facets and expressions even so I reveal Myself with fullness and variety through My people, and when you begin to understand this you will no longer bite or devour or doubt or cast dispersion upon one another, but you will begin to see that even as a diamond with many rays of light reflected and refracted out of the brilliance catching the light and the glory of the Sun (Son) , even so I reveal Myself through this many-membered Body.

That which I have given you to show forth of My person and My revelation and My will in the earth is not undermined or put in any jeopardy or disdain because you receive the balance of an opposing word or truth. And yet My people insist on thinking that their little portion of truth, their little portion of light is the ultimate in understanding and revelation and they forbid the significant other voices through which I speak that I might have the representative of My true fullness in the Earth.

For all that I do in this earth, I have a prophetic expression. I have an expression of warning and judgment, and I have an expression of blessing and health and wholeness. My eyes wander throughout the whole earth to see those whose hearts are perfect toward Me, and turned toward Me and longing toward Me, and I am quick to speak a word of power and blessing and reconciliation on the behalf of those who seek Me. Your discerning the need for my chastening and correction and wrath upon sin and disobedience and backslidings will never dilute My love and determination to dispense My favor, and My grace and My mercy when I so desire to pour it out on a people or a person who seeks Me and desires to know Me and please Me, no matter how frail their flesh may be, and no matter how pronounced their weaknesses may seem to you.

And in the fullness of time when the cup of my wrath is full and I have pressed out the grapes of my wrath it shall be clearly seen that it is a winepress I have trodden alone . I am the only one who truly sees into the hearts of men to render righteous and undefiled and unadulterated and pure judgment because I am the one who sees deeply into every motive and situation, and therefore I have left the judgment purely to My Son who sees with My eyes, and it shall only be given to a people who see as I see to "sit on the 12 thrones judging Israel (My people) in the earth." I do not see as men see, and I do not hear as men hear, but with righteous judgment and with equity I judge all the earth to render unto every man according to his works, and if I cannot trust My own people to truly discern My body in the earth, how I can I trust you to sit in judgement of the world, and of angels (which indeed is the very inheritance of the saints in light?)

I am not giving My judgements or My words of judgment to any people or any person or any prophet who is not fully discerning My Body in the earth because I will not have My works and My word defiled by the heart that has no understanding of My purpose or the manifestation of My Body in the earth. And when you are so limited in your understanding that you can't perceive My fullness manifested in My people on many levels of truth, and many levels of expression then you do not understand Me.

If you are in the desert where there is no water and the ground is parched and dry and the slithering creatures of the earth feed on the dust are you going to declare because you are in the desert that there is no lush green mountain from which flows out fountains, rivers, and streams of waters coursing between the pathways of rocks and earth cut out by the very force of those waters?

And yet My people do this very thing when they fail to recognize that just as I express Myself and My nature through the Creation with the different aspects of My character showcased fully where ever you might light your eyes in this earth, even so I express Myself through My Body from My anger and wrath and judgments to My mercy and life and restoration and reconciliation.

You prophets of judgement who despise My vessels of Mercy and Grace, I am against this attitude in your spirit!!! You only have a facet of My truth and a facet of the revelation of My will and purpose. You do not have the whole picture. You are only a stone in the edifice I am building for My glory, and if you refuse to be built up together with those of a different expression than you are working against the manifestation of the fullness of My glory and knowledge being realized in the Earth. You cry out against sin and uncleanness, but then you defeat My very purpose in bringing a people together that I can fill with My glory so that there is NO desire for such things by NOT recognizing where I am coming forth in a greater fullness of life and purity. You have your eyes only to see the wicked and the perverse, and you refuse to perceive where I am exalted in love and honor and obedience. Beware lest you be as Jonah, more determined to be the recognized prophet in the land than a vessel of My choosing to lead people to repentance and restoration.

You prophets of prosperity and blessing and never-ending Mercy who despise the words of warning and judgment I send through My servants, you lack understanding that I have truly created vessels as My weapons of war against the wicked works of satan even trying to infiltrate My people with worldliness and habits of sin and uncleanness. I have raised these ones up to manifest My Holy anger against that which keeps My people from entering in fully to what I have for them.

Don't you know that only that which is truly holy and pure can inherit the fullness of My glory and My blessing that you so willingly and eagerly and continuously pronounce upon My people? Don't you realize that without the prophets coming forth with the words of warning and judgement and pronouncements against sin and uncleanness there can be NONE of the blessings and prosperity which you so eagerly preach and teach and prophesy to My people ? Without a true cleansing from all that is contrary to My holy and undefiled and sinless nature you can never be the habitation of My glory I have purposed for you to be!! You do not undermine the message I have given to you of blessing and prosperity by receiving the words of correction and judgement. You do NO disservice to My outpoured mercy and grace by allowing the hard word of the Lord to come forth in all its power and authority. Rather, you are allowing the stones of My glorious Church which I am raising up at this time in the Earth for the purpose of revealing Myself to the World to be built up together as the true habitation of God through the Spirit.

Oh my people hear the word of the Lord!!!! You cannot pick and choose what revelation of My Spirit you want manifested in My holy temple, the Church. If you want the fullness of My being and My expression to be realized in the power and glory which you prophesy about then you are going to have to begin to discern My Body in the earth, and you are going to have to begin to see that I speak as the voice of MANY WATERS.

Though you cannot understand all, or find agreement in all, you can rest in the trust of knowing that I am the God that is able to bring into a righteous focus and a greater understanding the revelation of Myself through My Body in all the aspects through which I determine to manifest. I speak with many significant voices to insure My prophetic approval upon that which I am doing in the Earth from the most gracious and merciful of My blessings to the harshest realities of My corrections and judgments. I truly am doing far more than what your own constraining dreams and visions and paradigms will naturally permit you to perceive, but if you enter into the fullness of My mind and My thinking then you will begin to understand that which I have purposed in and through My church so that My people can be as the wells of salvation which hold the water of life from which the thirsty souls of men will draw forth the living water.

Oh, if ONLY you knew the gift of God within!! But you must have a vision which supercedes your own little portion of understanding and revelation and come up into a higher place in Me where you can see the bigger picture of My Body in the earth even as I see it. Then you will see yourselves individually consecrated unto Me and My purposes and corporately revealed in the earth as the sons of God, even the mature manchild whom I am setting in authority to rule all nations with a rod of iron while at the very same time I pour forth a revelation of My mercy and grace and love and forgiveness and power of the priesthood for cleansing and restoration and deliverance and wholeness and healing to all those who will hear the cry going forth by the Spirit and the Bride saying "Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst Come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely."

Begin to perceive that even NOW I am training you to be able to understand the multifacetedness of My nature in how I deal with My own, and with My people because in order that you might be in this world what I have called you to be , you are going to have to understand the fullness of My dealings and My character in mercy and grace and judgement and justice for you shall indeed be the dispensers and the executors of My will in all these things when I come in the fullness of My kingdom in the Earth.

I, Jesus, the Head of My Church, shall not move in this earth apart from My Body. Thus saith the Lord!!
