We are in the final move of GOD which will reveal the Heart of FATHER to mankind. The five-fold grace ministries were given to move all true believers toward maturity so that they in turn will go out to the marketplace and expand The Kingdom of GOD on the earth. When these grace ministries are functioning properly, Paul explains what happens when the true believers reach maturity.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:
14 And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies. 15 But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our Love as we express the Truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed Head of His Body, the church.
16 For His “body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.
It is critical for you and I to fulfill this passage as we become unified and made perfect in Agape Love. We will not be shaken by current events or be reluctant to express the Truth which is only found in Heaven. We will not be deceived by false doctrines of deceivers and we will see through their clever lies. We will walk in the perfect image of Christ and in His power and authority!
The real believers will unite as one and walk fully in Agape Love. Others will continue to focus on the temporary such as the latest current events which are meant to distract them from fulfilling their callings. The spirit of deception will use people who are willing vessels to promote such distractions. This is what the adversary does.
FATHER is waiting on us to make our enemies HIS footstool as Hebrews chapter 10 reveals:
13 There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet.
Our focus should be to fulfill this passage as mature believers. What are we waiting on? We are to take dominion over what the devil has stolen rather than sitting around waiting for Christ’s return. We are to enforce the blessing associated with being a believer and preach the Good News of Jesus Christ. When this happens, the true purpose of the five-fold ministry is fulfilled.
What is the goal of the adversary? To deceive the immature believers with empty delusions and lead them astray, similar to the unbelievers’ priorities.
Paul continues:
17 So with the Wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions. 18 Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the true knowledge of God. 19 Because of spiritual apathy, they surrender their lives to lewdness, impurity, and sexual obsession.
20 But this is not the way of life that Christ has unfolded within you. 21 If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard His Truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!
If people don’t see Jesus and His Truth in us, then we need to change. We need to press in and not allow our attention to be diverted toward nonessential activities. We must truly let go of the old man and fully accept what Christ had done for us so that we are not hindered in our walk.
22 And He has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self-life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions. 23 Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. 24 And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with Him! For God has re-created you all over again in HIS perfect righteousness, and you now belong to HIM in the realm of true Holiness. 25 So discard every form of dishonesty and lying so that you will be known as one who always speaks the Truth, for we all belong to one another.
The wise virgins will embrace this passage without exception and go on to be in complete union with Him. We will walk in perfect righteousness and true Holiness!
Anything that promotes doubt, unbelief, or fear must be rejected from the true believers attention. These areas of focus originate from the clever deceiver and his minions. Mature believers will disregard such attempts to divert their focus from their mission of spreading the Gospel in the marketplace.
