              The Jigsaw  -  Body Of Christ

 

           By Peter James from:   www.peterjamesx.com

 

 Let us consider The Body Of Christ as a Jigsaw puzzle.

 

 Precisely where do you fit into this puzzle?

 Does one of the following three pictures represent you?

          Realise, that without every single piece, the picture is incomplete,

          and personally you will not have success, and neither will the

puzzle be completed. It is precisely the same with the Body of Christ.

 

Many are busy doing nothing, whilst others are going down roads which are

leading to a dead end, so they are going nowhere.

This person, is a puzzle piece that will not fit.

 

Many blame Satan for the what is happening to them.

I have been told by some, that they are having a Job experience,

and that they have no idea how long it will last.

The first problem with this is that they are not by any means a ‘Job’.

He was a very special person.

 

The Eternal God did use Satan to teach Job a lesson,

but most times these people are simply in open rebellion,

against the Most High God. Others can clearly see this,

though of course, they are blind to this simple fact.

 

Job 1:8  And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job,

that there is none like him in the earth,

a perfect and an upright man,

one that feareth God,

and escheweth (hates) evil?

 

The very sad problem is that often, many bluntly refuse to accept

responsibility for their own actions.

It is easier to blame everyone else for problems, than ourselves.

When that is considered inadequate, we then blame Satan.

 

I find this most interesting.

We give Satan a very hard time.

We blame Satan, when he has not actually done anything at all.

I can visualise the situation.

Satan goes to the throne, as he does as the book of Job explains,

and he complains to the Eternal God, about getting blame,

when he has not done anything.

I would imagine, that the LORD must have a little smile on His face,

why are you complaining, you are forever accusing them,

so you are getting some of your own medicine.

 

Today someone had a little Rhema, speaking about our little group,

this is what it said:

 

You will have a great work to do.

Unfortunatelly not all will listen to you, and obey you,

They will have terrible sufferings.

 

This means that we are also going to experience the very same frustration,

which we have similarly caused to others, when we did not listen and obey,

so the wheel would have turned a full circle,

and just like I mentioned about Satan above,

we will get some of the very same medicine, which we have given to others.

 

This proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt,

that the laws of the Eternal God, will take effect in the minutest detail,

regardless of our feelings and our views.

 

We will reap precisely what we have sown, period.

There are no exceptions.

This a refining tool, to ensure that we will completely fit into the jigsaw,

which represents The Body Of Christ.

 

Reaping What You Sow Is An Unbreakable Law

 

First we need to be contented with our condition,

because our circumstances are not by chance, but by Divine appointment.

We are the children of the Eternal God, we do not live by time and chance.

We are being brought to Perfection, by the Eternal God.

 

Philippians 4:11  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned,

in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

 

Countless people are undergoing surgery of all kinds,

in order to supposedly enhance their bodies.

Many including young people, are having sex change operations,

in the U.K., often at great public expense.

 

You might well wish, that you were a different piece of the puzzle,

however, every single piece is being carefully hand crafted,

to fit in precisely where it is supposed to be.

It will not fit in anywhere else.

 

1 Corinthians 1:10  Now I beseech you, brethren,

by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing,

and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined

together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

 

This is a very important point.

We all have to be of one accord, otherwise we will not be part of the Manchild,

and we will not be taken to the throne of the Eternal God, for the Wedding of the Bride,

to Christ.

 

The above scritpure is the critical qualifying criteria, ‘Being of One Accord’.

 

The first day of Pentecost explained it well.

Each Person will only make it to the gathering place, the  ‘One Place’,

if he or she is of one accord, with what Christ requires.

 

Carefully consider how would anyone know the time or the place for the assembly?

If you lived far away how would you make the journey?

If you lived nearer, how would you be advised, if there is no electricy,

which means no fuel, no cars, no trains, no phones, no Satnav, no electricity?

The simple answer is that you would not make it,

because you were a piece of the puzzle, which did not fit.

 

Acts 2:1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,

they were all with one accord in one place.

 

You might feel, and desire anything at all that you would like.

You might wish you were another piece of the puzzle, but if you were another piece,

which you desired with your whole heart, the puzzle would remain incomplete.

What part would the person, whom you would like to replace be?

Would they simply be rejected to satisfy your lust?

Are we saying, that the Eternal God does not know what He is doing?

 

Ephesians 2:19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,

but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Ephesians 2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles

and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

Ephesians 2:21  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth

unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Ephesians 2:22  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation

of God through the Spirit.

 

Colossians 2:19  And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints

and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together,

increaseth with the increase of God.

 

The puzzle below shows that without that single letter ‘S’,

the puzzle is unfinished.

The picture is quite useless without the missing ‘S’.

 

With a single person not playing their full part, everyone will suffer.

When everyone is contributing everyone will benefit.

 

This is how a normal pysical body functions.

If you have a head ache, all of you is unwell.

          The Eternal God set up a whole system to assist in the building

          of His Temple.

          It is a simple fact without the leading, and direction of the Eternal God,

          you will never find His assistants. Furthermore, even if you have a bible,

and a computer, it does not mean that even then,

         you will be able to understand the bible.

 

         Ephesians 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;

         and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

         Ephesians 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,

         for the edifying of the body of Christ:

         Ephesians 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith,

         and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,

         unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

 

         1 Corinthians 12:28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,

         secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings,

         helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

 

         This puzzle is a gigantic puzzle involving billions of people,

         I repeat.

         Each person has a specific place and function, in the puzzle, the body of Christ.

         Of course eveyone has personal priorities, ideas, and opinions,

         on what each wants to do, and how it should be done,

         but the assignments are organised in the most minute detail,

         by the Eternal God, no one else.

 

         Regarding the bible, it is not written to be easily understood.

         The parables are written to hide the meaning, of what is being said.

 

         Matthew 13:10  And the disciples came, and said unto him,

         Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

         Matthew 13: 11  He answered and said unto them,

         Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,

         but to them it is not given.

      

         Matthew 13:12  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,

         and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not,

         from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

         Matthew 13:13  Therefore speak I to them in parables:

         because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,

         neither do they understand.

 

         Much of the Holy Bible it is not in chronological order,

         this means that it is not in time sequence, because of our rebellion.

 

         Isaiah 28:13  But the word of the LORD was unto them

          precept upon precept,

         precept upon precept;

         line upon line,

         line upon line;

         here a little,

         and there a little;

         that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken,

         and snared, and taken.

 

         Why am constantly labouring these points?

         The answer is very simple.

         

It is to help everyone to do what they need to do,

         after they have been called, so that they can successfully

          be a part of the Manchild, Warrior Bride of Christ.

          It is not a matter of head knowledge.

          It is a lifestyle, that has to be lived every single day.

 

         The laws of God have nothing at all to do with any Race, Colour,

         Religion, Sex, or Age.

         All of these laws apply to every single human being on planet earth.

         There are no exceptions, period.

 

         The Laws Of God Are Not To Test Us

 

          The principles are very simple.

         Here is an example.

          If you ignore the laws, which define, what the Eternal God has defined

          as being good for food, you will ultimately get sick.

          Medicine, operations, and other actions to negate the effects of any laws,

          will always be counter productive.

          The fact that something tastes good, is not a definition for what is food.

         

          If you try to break the laws regarding sexual morality,

          you will pay the penalty.

 

          All of these laws cannot be broken, but rather they will break you.

 

          Furthermore, these laws apply in all areas of life.

Today, whilst I was catching up on my ironing, I watched some football.

After the game the analysts were explaining what had gone wrong,

with ‘England’, who eventually won the game.

They explained that it was a failure to communicate,

which lead to a goal.

I could not believe what I heard.

The speaker did not even use the word speak, but communicate,

which is the exact word that Christ uses.

One of the players should just have communicated 3 words,

On Your Shoulder’, and his team mate would have immediately known,

the reality of his position, and what he needed to do.

It really made me smile.

 

Hebrews 13:16  But to do good and to communicate forget not:

for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

 

Almost every day, I am telling those around me to listen carefully and obey,

what you are told to do. Our Rhema has been saying this for a very long time.

The reason for the repetition, is that as far as the Eternal God is concerned,

we are failing to do, what we are told to do, thus the repetition.

I know this to be a fact, because I see the consequences.      

 

All of the above advice is critical, and it all needs to become an intrinsic

part of our being.  

 

         The picture below shows that the puzzle is in the hands of the Master

         Designer, and He knows exactly where each part goes.

 

         Only He, the Eternal God, knows where each part goes.

          You might think that you can make it on your own, in your way,

         and somehow you will be a part of the Body of Christ,

         when the mess completely hits the fan.

          I have news for you.

         There are many people, who believe that they can have one foot in one camp,

         and another foot in an opposing camp, as a sort of insurance,

         others reason that things will work out for them.

         It simply does not work that way, because they are not of one accord.

        

         Below we can see that there is a single piece missing from the jigsaw. 

        

         Romans 9:28  For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness:

         because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

 

         Philippians 1:6  Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun

         good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

 

         Hebrews 11:10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations,

         whose builder and maker is God.

 

         Romans 9:19  Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault?

         For who hath resisted his will?

Romans 9:20  Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?

Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Romans 9:21  Hath not the potter power over the clay,

of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

Romans 9:22  What if God, willing to shew his wrath,

and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels

of wrath fitted to destruction:

Romans 9:23  And that he might make known the riches of his glory

on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore  prepared unto glory,

 

In the below  picture if the missing piece, refuses to be moulded to fit,

it will be discarded, and a completely new piece will be made that will fit.

 

We have been warned about this several years ago.

What if we have arrived at the point as shown below,

when just you are the missing piece, which is holding up the completion

of the puzzle, the Body of Christ?

This is pretty serious stuff.

            Only the Eternal God, can see the whole picture,

         and make His plan a reality.

 

          The pieces which are in the hands of the Master Builder,

         are to construct the New Jerusalem, the Final Temple of the Eternal God.

      

         1 Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,

         and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

            globe jigsaw : Childs hands holding jigsaw puzzle globe on white background                             

 

          It is wrong to imagine, that the Eternal God is going to dwell in a body part,

          which is in confusion.

          It will never happen.

 

          1 Corinthians 14:33  For God is not the author of confusion,

         but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

 

James 3:16  For where envying and strife is,

there is confusion and every evil work.

 

         Matthew 5:48  Be ye therefore perfect,

         even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

 

          Perfection is not achieved by doing works of any type whatsoever.

          It is the result of listening to, and obeying the Eternal God in reality,

          and not just having concepts in our minds.

 

          Unlike what many are taught, there is never going to be an instant development

          of character, just because Christ returns. There are many things to happen

          before Christ returns, and the required character has to be wrought in our spirits now.

         If we are introverts, and self-centred, we will not suddenly be made

         extroverts, and generous in the blink of an eye.

 

          We must listen and obey.

         

          It is a lesson that we are all going to learn, whether we like it or not.

 

         Am I Worthy ?  

 

         All documents on my website, should be carefully studied
