Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 16 about the building of His Church:
15 Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock (revelation), I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
For the true church to be established, Jesus had to take on all sin as He died on the cross (atonement), to be resurrected on the third day. So that the gates of hell would not prevail against the church, Jesus would send The Holy Spirit to mature the believers.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
We must not only receive The Holy Spirit but be led by THE SPIRIT in all things! Why? Paul explains:
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the Heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
The true church is to be enlightened with hope and know the riches of the glory of His inheritance. We are to truly comprehend the exceeding greatness of His power toward each of us. The power to raise the dead, heal the sick, and cast out devils are resident in us and awaits our maturity in not only comprehending this Truth, but to walk in it as well. We need to envision ourselves doing these things.
Paul further wrote about the true church coming into full maturity in Ephesians chapter 4:
7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
8 Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.”
9 (Now this, “He ascended”-what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the Heavens, that He might fill all things.)
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
What does this mean? The fivefold ministries are to nurture and prepare all the Holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the Body of Christ into that spotless Bride to be received in Heaven.
When will we be received (harpazo’d)? Only FATHER knows that specific time which will end the interval between the 69th and 70th week. Jesus fulfilled His part by the atonement, resurrection, and ascension.
