Write below, in your own words, what would you say now, about the Body of Christ/Tabernacle?
Please explain to the class in details, thank you?
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.—1 Corinthians 12:18
Let us review something here that we probably know: the doctrine of the life and operation of Christian believers on earth—starting with the fact that the Christian church is the body of Christ, Jesus Himself being the Headship of that body. Every true Christian, no matter where he or she lives, is a part of that body, and the Holy Spirit is to the church what our own souls are to our physical bodies.
Through the operation of the Holy Spirit, Christ becomes the life, the unity and the consciousness of the body, which is the church/tabernacle. Let the soul leave the physical body and all the parts of the body cease to function. Let the Spirit be denied His place in the spiritual body, and the church ceases to function as God intended...
According to the Bible, the whole body exists for its members and the members exist for the whole body/tabernacle. And that, of course, is the reason God gives gifts, so that the body may profit spiritually and maintain spiritual health and prosperity in its service for Jesus Christ in an unfriendly world.
"Lord, I pray today that we in our church/body/tabernacle might be aware of Your presence, that we might be faithfully exercising the gifts You have given, and that we might be a healthy Body that pleases You. Amen."

My Lord; What would you say now, about the Body of Christ/Tabernacle? The one thing that God brought to my attention, is: His Power is not allowed in the church. His power has been shut out, due to own gratification, self-protocol, agendas. So, as stated in our reading; “Let the Spirit be denied His place in the spiritual body, and the church ceases to function as God intended. While we are jumping around and shutting down the Anointing, pushing Him out, not allowing the REAL and TRUE flow of the Anointing, there are witches, warlocks being infiltrated in the very walls of the body. My God. But we say use your gifts, but when the anointing wants to come forth, it’s always stated “that’s not the order of service, you are out of order. I have seen it so many times, the Anointing wants to preach that day, the Anointing wants to have service, to bring forth Authentic breakthroughs, Genuine deliverance, and/or life changing healing, My God, worship is cut off, and it’s through real worship where unbelievable acts are performed in the body. So, my prayer is that no matter what physical agenda one may have for the body allow the interruption of the Holy Spirit to flow..Isa. 10:27 It shall come to pass in that day that his burdens will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the Anointing Oil. We know that “In That Day” is The Day of the Lord” but what about Now, is that true Now?? As it is stated in our reading; “According to the Bible, the whole body exists for its members and the members exist for the whole body/tabernacle. And that, of course, is the reason God gives gifts, so that the body may profit spiritually and maintain spiritual health and prosperity in its service for Jesus Christ in an unfriendly world. The world is really looking for an authentic body to lean on, for assistance. Blessings.
I mean to me i would say its good to stay clean and grounded in God. Staying connected. We are the body we are the church. God is the head we follow him and its folks that look for answers and cant hear so they come to us witht the question to hear what the lord is saying. So its good to be in tune. God need us to stay in tune he needs us to remember who we are. He needs us to use the gifts he bless us with not for ourself but to use to help others. Beingg arware of his presence when he around means you are in tune. I would say to the body lets use more unity and being faithful and more consistant with it. Amen

As Christians we are the body of Christ operating under the Holy Spirit we should all be on one accord using our God given talents for the services of Lord and Savoir, pleasing and acceptable in his eyesight.
For me this says, the tabernacle is the dwelling place in which Jesus (the head) dwells amount us. Him showing us how to get into His Presence. Fellowshipping with one another as one (the body) member supporting member.
Jesus is the true tabernacle.
John 1:14 tells us that “the Word became flesh and dwelt [Gk. σκηνόω] among us,” and the Greek translation of “tent of meeting” is σκηνὴ μαρτυρίου (Ex. 33:7). In other words, when Jesus became the God-man he “tabernacled” among us. (And of course Jesus spoke about “the temple of his body” [John 2:19, 21], and Paul taught that because we are united to the risen Messiah “we are the temple of the living God” [2 Cor. 6:16].)
Jesus’ body is the curtain ripped in two that brings us to the holy presence of God.
“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh” (Heb. 10:19-20). (Matthew 27:51: “the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.”)
Jesus is the great high priest over the house of God.
“and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Heb. 10:21-22)
Jesus is the full and final sacrifice.
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29).
“We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins. By a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” (Heb. 10:10, 12, 14)
about the Body of Christ/Tabernacle
The tabernacle represented Yahweh’s house among the Israelites.
Jesus is the true tabernacle.
John 1:14 tells us that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” (Ex. 33:7).
In other words, when Jesus became the God-man he “tabernacled” among us.
And of course Jesus spoke about “the temple of his body” John 2:19, 21, and Paul taught that because we are united to the risen Messiah “we are the temple of the living God” 2 Cor. 6:16. Now Jesus’ body is the curtain ripped in two which brings us to the holy presence of God.
Most of all Jesus is the full and final sacrifice.
Yes!!!!Pastor Albright I agree things need to come back to order, there has to be accountabilty for ones action(s) and we as a whole need to come together as one body (supporting one another) operating in our giftings doing the will of the Lord.
Pastor Robin Albright said:
What was spoken to me is this. The body of Christ has become diseased and it’s fighting right now to stay alive. So many have allowed demonic activities to go on, they are not correcting the members, the leaders are out of order but God has a remnant set aside for this season. The great physician is sending out surgeons, doctors, nurses and rehabilitation specialists to get the body of Christ aligned back up with the Word of God. God is moving the church in a direction that will lead them back to their first love but those who desire the world and flesh shall see the destruction of their ways. The church is the house of Christ and if He is not welcome or does not dwell in the tabernacle it’s out of order. We as the whole body either south the head, north the feet, west or east the arms need to come together and work together that we may one body operating in our gifts for the Lord. In this hour the chosen ones will make a stand and fight the spiritual battle going on in the church. The spirit of Absolm, python spirit, Jezebel spirit, prideful spirit will be removed from Gods house by the prayers of the righteous. So as the body of Christ we must stand together.
What this is saying to me is that we as the body of Christ have to yield all that we have OUT. So That Christ can come and live through us heart, mind, body, and soul, all that we are and all that we will ever be is because of the love of God for us. Hence once we have given him all access to ourselves so that he can live, move, and have our being, he in turns gives all access to the KINGDOM OF God that lives in through and for us we are one with Christ.
