Lift Jesus Higher

The Bible has only one interpretation, all scriptures were written by writers led by the Holy Spirit with specific intentions and purposes. "We have different interpretations" is a lie.

Being a FRUITFUL CHRISTIAN

Jesus Christ referred to us as a branch and He is the Vine, and we should abide in Him and remain in Him so that we can be fruitful as a disciple of Jesus because without Him, we can do nothing and without fruit, and we are cut off and thrown to the fire.

There are 3 kinds of fruits that the Bible talks about that a disciple of Jesus should have.

Fruits of repentance (Mat 3:8)
Fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22-23)
Fruits of disciples (Mark 4:20)

FRUITS OF REPENTANCE should be seen in us in our receiving of the Gospel of Jesus, because our response to the Gospel is Repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and receiving of the Holy Spirit. It should also remain in us daily as Paul said " I die daily" (1 Cor 15:31). Jesus also said that we should deny ourselves and take up our cross daily (Luke 9:23)

FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will come out automatically in every born again disciples of Jesus as they are changed by God from the inside out and not like the Pharisees that only cleans the outside of the cup and not the inside. It will come out when we have received the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and when we walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Oftentimes we misinterpret it and mistakenly make it as evidence that the Holy Spirit is living in a person just because they show one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and is attending church even though they didn't repent, water baptized and of course received the Holy Spirit. Look at other religions that deny Jesus Christ's resurrection, they can show you one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit but that doesn't mean that they have the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit can't resides to someone who don't believe in Jesus Christ (1 Cor 12:3). Neither do you need to master it because it will become works and fruit is different from works. You will become like the Pharisees that is clean on the outside but not changed on the inside because you didn't receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is Repentance, Baptism in Jesus' name, and Receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

FRUITS OF DISCIPLES will produce when we obey the commandments of Jesus Christ which is to preach the gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons, lead people to Christ, make disciples, and persevere through trials and persecutions.

The difference between TEMPLE OF GOD and CHURCH OF GOD

In the old testament, the TEMPLE OF GOD is where the ark of the covenant is being placed, and where the ark of the covenant is, in there resides the presence of God.

Now, in the new testament, after Jesus Christ's resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is now residing in every disciple of Jesus Christ, and Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit started to preach that day that everyone should "repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit", and 3000 disciples were added to them that day. So it's no longer resides in the building structure like in the old testament, it is now living in the disciples of Jesus.

Apostle Paul also writes to the disciples of Jesus living in Corinth that they are now the TEMPLE OF GOD and the Spirit of God lives in them. (1 Cor 3:16)

CHURCH(mentioned 111 times in the bible) on the other hand is from the greek word, ekklesia, which means "assembly of people".

So when we read our bible, it is important to know the context of what it really means. When we read the word "church (iglesia)" it is never referred to as a building that we see today, it is an assembly of disciples, or a group of disciples, or the "assembly of the temples of God" which are the ones who REPENT, BAPTIZED IN JESUS' NAME, AND RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
John 15:1‭-‬8 NKJV

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS GROWING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE! - LET'S DO AS THE EARLY DISCIPLES DID

If we look at the Bible, we see that the early disciples often went from house to house, and they saw whole households baptized - like Cornelius and his household, Lydia and her household, the jailer and his household, and we are seeing the same today!
There is something very, very powerful, and unique, and Biblical with going into a home and seeing the whole household come to faith! And after they came to faith, they started up small communities in the households. It was in the homes that they had communion.

This is what we are seeing today, and I love it! More and more, we are seeing this! Read this testimony here, which has just been shared by our good friends Tabitha Smith and Dewayne.

“👉🏼 Today was so amazing! We went into another home and the Holy Spirit came on this home powerfully! We shared testimonies, & then the gospel. We prayed for one lady to be healed and all pain left her. She was so excited and was filled with amazement. She was shouting and praising God! 😭🙌🏼 Her excitement started something in this home and one by one we prayed for everyone.
The Holy Spirit just touched people. Those who had not yet received the Holy Spirit were filled! Those who needed healing were healed, those who needed deliverance from oppression were delivered and those who needed to be born again were born again!!

One family all of them were baptized in water and the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God is growing!

What was so beautiful is the moments people had with the Holy Spirit after they were filled! One lady just laid on the ground praying in tongues and praising God for a long time. It was so special! 🙌🏼

They truly encountered God and treasured Him!♥️ We are so encouraged by this. Our hearts are touched by the Korean community and we feel so blessed to be a part of what God is doing in the life of His people! 👈🏼”

I want to say to you out there - this is also for YOU! This call to follow Christ - to go out and find the person of peace, and go into the home, and see the whole household changed, and set up communities! This is what we are called to do!

This is the call Jesus has given us, and if every Christian would understand this, instead of just continuing to go to church and sit down and listen to a sermon and go home and nothing has changed! No! It's time to BE the church Jesus has called us to be! It's time to obey the call of Jesus He has called us to obey!

I really recommend our two books, The Last Reformation, where we talk about church, and The Call of Jesus, where we talk about the call Jesus has given us and how to find the person of peace and go and see the whole household changed.
