"Igreja: A Presenc a de Cristo" - Jeffrey Johnson - CONFERÊNCIA OLD SCHOOL 2023

"Igreja: A Presenc a de Cristo" - Jeffrey Johnson - CONFERÊNCIA OLD SCHOOL 2023 Foreign let's pray Lord we pray that you would come and meet with us today is after the Lord rose from the dead couple ladies Viro.


One of those ladies was a lady named Mary Magdalene um and she sought to clean Jesus and Jesus rebuked her Jesus why would he rebuke the Lord Jesus I mean why would Lord Jesus rebuke Mary would you not do the same thing if your savior just rose from the dead.

You were terribly sad the last time you saw the Lord his body was foreign but Jesus rebuked her Zeus he says don't cling to me I haven't yet gone to my father but you even don't go don't go to heaven yet you have to stay here longer.

I want to be with you I mean don't you want to see the Risen Lord It's not not your desire and if you saw Jesus In the Flesh would you not cling to him why did he say he has to go to heaven is oh here's the answer the body of Jesus.

Jesus had the fullness of God dwelling in it all of deity was located in the physical body of Jesus Christ the but there was one little problem there's a limitation to a physical body is a physical body limits the fullness of.

Christ to a particular location what would happen if Jesus decided not to go to heaven and rather than sending the Holy Spirit he would have said I'm going to stay here I'm going to dwell on Earth for the duration history would that be wonderful.

Well it depends where he lived what if he lived in America what if he lived in Conway Arkansas where I'm from yes what if he lived in Russia let me ask you this question where would you want to go to church where would you move to if you were looking for a church and you're going to move where would you move.

I know where I would go to church I would go where Jesus goes I would want to be in that local assembly but you see that's the problem if Jesus would have remained he in his physical body physical will be limited to one location and we know he as God would be everywhere.

So you and I would cling to his physical body and this was why he told Mary yeah no don't cling to this body no no you cling to the church the church is the presence of Christ on Earth though we can't grab a hold of the physical body of Jesus.

We can grab hold of the local manifestation of his body on Earth his holy spirit dwells within us turn with in Ephesians chapter one we have Paul's prayer here in verses 15 through 23. and Paul prays that we will understand the fullness of Christ in his body.

Glory he says in verse 15. and it fell on the very sick of Kings for this reason because I've heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love towards all the saints cease to give thanks for you and remembering you in my prayers in verse 17 that the god of our Lord Jesus Christ father of Glory may give.

You verses now five things he's praying for these five things one the spirit of wisdom to and Revelation three in the knowledge of him four and verse 18. the eyes of our hearts of our.

    Understanding be enlightened illuminators five that you may know

    Enlightenment knowledge illumination to know that we might understand foreign we need to know our hope in verse 18 at the end it says what is the hope to which he has called you is.

    The number one thing we all we all need is Hope without hope you perish since you can only live if you have hope hell is hell because it's hopeless you're miserable in this life because you've lost hope is Hope is the energy of Life.

    Paul says I want you to understand your hope is so sad yeah the reason we get so discontent yeah the reason we look at the world and Chase After idols because we don't understand our whole epic we must know the whole nostrils but the second thing he's praying for us.

    What is the riches of his glorious inheritance in the Saints this not just the inheritance but the riches of this inheritance he didn't just say Riches of The Inheritance he says Riches of the Glorious inheritance as he cares he cares what this is our hope there's this inheritance full of riches.

    But notice it doesn't say our inheritance it says his inheritance it is so this is the inheritance is not ours it's better than that and this is not even saying if we read it closely this is not even saying we are his inheritance.

    It's Christ's inheritance but it's not just saying that we are his inheritance it is saying this is that Christ inheritance The Inheritance God gave Christ the preposition is in US Christ's inheritance deposited into us.

    We are caring about the inheritance of Christ within us and we need to understand the riches and the glory of the inherent the power of God working in us this is what verse 19 says and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power towards us who believe because.

    The power working in US is immeasurable and the greatness of it is so Paul is praying three things that the spirit May illuminate to us experience.

    The inheritance of Christ and the power of God working in us but you must understand foreign [Music] of Christ is this the very presence of Christ dwelling in us on the Earth.

    Where do we see Christ

    Where do we see his authority where do we see his full moon we say the Power Authority and the fullness of Christ in his body the church let's look at these three things verses 19 through the rest of this.

    Chapter he explains the power and authority in the fullness of Christ so first of all first point the body of Christ is the presence of Christ on Earth because foreign as the body of Christ is the power of Christ on the earth you see we see in verse 19 through 21 the great power that is in work in US.

    It says according to the working of his great might Jesus verse 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at the right hand in Heavenly places what kind of power is in us we've already seen that it's immeasurable it's the very power of Christ there was never a darker hour than when Christ died sorry all hell was Unleashed upon Christ.

    Every demon and every ruler of Darkness attacked the Lord Jesus this was the final battle everything was against Christopher it seemed hopeless experience to the point that they bruised his heels they killed him it is.

    The son of Glory dead Gloria you think things are bad now you think your country is do you think Hollywood is bad Hollywood you're discouraged no no nothing was as bad as the Son of God laying in the Tomb no not that we just said during those three days.

    Our hope is the demons seem to have won but the power of Christ overcome the devil he overcome death he overcome wickedness that is God has given him a name above all names that power is his inheritance.

    Thank you [Applause] this man you was a slave to Demons he was raised to think and to speak to mediums experience is the strong man the devil had him bound foreign.

    Without this the Holy Spirit working in his word through his ambassadors God has chosen to take us weak vessels people from America from Brazil Brazil people that people don't know.

    The people the world despises foreign the Bible says the body of Christ in Ephesians 4 16. is fit together which every part or every member supplies according to the factual working of the measure of every part of.

    Makes increase of the body unto edifying of itself in love so God is using the body and the members of the body to carry out his power on this Earth and it's not just God giving you direct power you just go by yourself and lock yourself in the closet.

    I don't need the church the power of Christ spirit is a work in his this is why his body is the presence of Christ on Earth secondly the body of Christ is the presence of Christ on Earth because it's the authority of Christ on Earth.

    Look at verse 22.is and he put all things under his feet and gave him as a head over all things to the church is okay this is Christ's inheritance after Christ did everything God says I'm going to give you a name above every name all the authority of the world all the authority of Heaven all the authority of Earth.

    All the authority of Hell Authority you can see an authority you can't see yeah that's your inheritance and I'm going to put it into the church that's our hope he takes his authority and puts it into us.

    Now imagine this imaginious God gave all the authority and he gave it to one man oh he did not put that man over Russia what if he gave it to North Korea you see those necessors and what if China ruled the world and ruled the heavens and the and ruled hell imagination is he did not give Christ to Russia he didn't give Christ to America.

    He didn't get Christ to Brazil he gave Christ the Lord of lords he gave this authority to us the turkey hey I want to be under his room daily I want to be in that Kingdom he gave that to the church.

    And as we rule with Christ in Heavenly places Christ rules with us on the earth or better yet Christ rules through us on the earth as the father sent the son into the world and the son came in the authority of the father Christ says I send you into the world.

    And as Christ had the authority of the father upon him yes we have the authority of Christ upon us what does this mean significant we don't have to ask any country to go there to be a missionary oh we got to get permission the one who has all authority.

    And no one can tell us otherwise we do not have to have permission um we do not have to have permission from the state to start together on Sunday we do not need permission Domingo.

    What Authority do we Gathering what Authority do we go into the world as missionaries what Authority do we have to live and worship according to God's commands foreign this is why he's given us the keys to the kingdom Lord ask Peter who do you say that I am.

    So you are the Christo flesh and blood has not revealed this to you again and I am going to give you the keys what are these Keys whatever you loose on Earth whatever you abound on Earth will be bound.

    Now that is Authority now don't open up Heaven just yet says you know who I am don't tell anybody yet why did God told Peter to keep it quiet because he wanted to wait till he sent the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost Peter took out those keys.

    With the authority of the Gospel he opened up the kingdom to 5 000 people you see that's Authority Vision that's Authority on Earth you must understand the head and the body are united as one Christ works on the earth through the church one of my favorite verses is second Corinthians 5 20. it says we are ambassadors for Christ.

    And it is god making his appeal through us we implore you on behalf of Christ be reconciled to God unbelievers you do not know the Lord maybe you're watching online you say well if Jesus Christ in his body came to me foreign.

    Ambassador Council you see we are Christ to the world Christ saves us through his instruments your father and family worship maybe a missionary.

    Maybe a a friend but God same to you the holy spirit in his body but his church you see he works through his people second Corinthians says that he Comforts us through the comfort of other people foreign how.

    Much Christ working to you to reject the church we're so United to best treat a member of Christ it's a mystery Christ is remember what God Said to Saul.

    He did not say it is why are you persecuting those people he didn't even say this why are you persecuting my body foreign it's just as much as if I ever kicked you in the head yeah.

    Brothers and sisters don't be mean to Christians verses the weakest Christian love um you Christ doesn't know Christ is be mean to a Christian is to be mean to Christo to give a cup of cold water to our Christians is to give a cup of cold water to Christ.

    Yeah we are fulfilling the sufferings of Christ not that Christ's sufferings are not perfect the Christ says my sufferings are not going to be over to all the sufferings of my people.
