What are some of the implications of the true ekklesia operating in the world today? The True Church should reflect the Kingdom of God. When functioning as intended, the true ekklesia (Greek meaning called-out ones) reflects the Kingdom of God on earth, Matthew 16:18-19 NIV reads, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven. Exercising spiritual authority to bind and loose in ali...

3 commentsI believe there are implications that the true ekklesia is operating in the world today because there is still a hunger and thirst for the Word of God all over the world. In Matthew 5:6 it says, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. The incorruptible seed called the Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of each of us and stirs something up that we cannot ignore. Their is a drawing near and yearning for the truth of his word. There are teachers of the...

3 commentsThe true ekklesia (church) will be solely shown by the fruits that we bare. Galatians 5:22â€25 (KJV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. With the Holy Spirit and unwavering faith these two things show unity and strength in love for one another....

0 commentsWe are the church, the church is not the physical building. The church is God's people. We are called to love, help, and show Jesus wherever we are. Because we are God’s called out ones, we are called to do God’s work. Matthew 16:18 references Jesus' words' On this rock I will build my church. We must be the standard for the world. Matthew 5:3-16 references how God wants us to be the salt and light of the world. We must help others see and experience more than religion, but the presence and ...

1 commentsSome of the implications of the true ekklesia operating in the world today is love, unity and faith. Christ declares that we are His church and if we belong to him, we bear his characteristics. One of those characteristics is Love. The scripture says in John 13: 34 -35, that by this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. Love is higher than any other characteristic of God or fruit of the spirit, because God is Love. When we truly love others, whether they ...

3 commentsWhat are some of the implications of the true Ekklesia operating in the world today? The Greek translation is Church meaning Called Out One. Ephesians 4:32 says: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. I know that in order to do this we must operate in the fruits of the Spirit which is God's characteristics, and we are like him and in his image. Charity being the first one without it we can't operate in the other fruit...

2 commentsWhat are some of the implications of the true ekklesia operating in the world today? For this discussion, I will point out one key implication that is needed now more than ever. The church is the governing authority for the kingdom of God in the earth. All of us are here to show forth the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There must be a distinction between the clean and unclean, the holy and profane! The word of God declares it. Ezekiel 44:23 says And they shall teach my people the differenc...
