STEWARDSHIP OF THE MYSTERY Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have the things which God has prepared for them that love him entered into the heart of man. Is this really true? Yes, it really is true! This is a flesh and Spirit revelation. The flesh can receive nothing so it can do nothing. But God has revealed what He has prepared unto us by his Spirit: for His Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. What no man can know, the Spirit of God knows. The day/light/Spirit speaks and the night/darkness/flesh shows knowledge. We have received the Spirit of God so that we may know the things that God has freely given to us. As Spirit-born we can know and move in the stewardship of this mystery. Clearly, we are not talking about church property needs but corporate body participation. Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord. There is no power in and of the natural man that God uses to perfect His bride. The natural man is ever learning without ever coming to the knowledge of the truth. I’m excited to say that we, having been born of the Spirit (which is not our flesh), have received the ability to be stewards of the mystery. I speak of the knowledge that empowers us in the most blessed of all Christian activities. Our flesh must learn that Christ in us already knows and is already able to minister. The measure of the gift of Christ does not need to be taught. The knowledge then, that every measure is already able to minister, is the mystery. Letting, uncovering, encouraging and making room for every measure to minister is the stewardship. Where the life of God is there is liberty, and we with open (unveiled) faces as looking in a mirror behold the glory of the Lord and are changed into the same image from glory to glory. “Forsake not the assembling of yourselves” involves more than a collection of the veils (flesh). When the heart turns to the Lord the veil is taken away (opened) and the transforming Glory of Christ is revealed in, through and to every believer. GLORY TO GLORY What therefore is it, brothers? When you come together; each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be for edification. All things for edification includes more than this list of five things. The perfected body, his bride, will be the fullness of the one (Him) that that fills all things with all things. This is the assembling of the glorious church. The true stewardship yields to the Spirit’s management and distribution of the unspeakable gift of Christ that’s in every part. The revelation of this is more glorious than the sum total of the separated parts. The fullness of the gentiles has to do with the effective glory that breaks forth as transforming light when the body of Christ is being fitly joined together. This is precisely why the gift of ministry (Eph 4:11) is given to the church. Less than these five is not enough. And more than these five are the inventions of man which God does not need or want. The tradition of divisions allowed in denominational teachings are lies at the core for they justify schisms while maintaining that Christ is not divided. Divisions are in disharmony with the scriptures; they are anti-Christ and exist primarily because of a denominationally produced ministry instead of a ministry that grows out of and is truly under the headship of Christ.
