Week 17_2023
Q o Why does correction need to come to the body of Christ concerning the unity of believers?
This is my prayer just before I attend Church. I also do my best to see through the eyes of Jesus. I make that part of my walk. I take my stand with Christ and in Him alone. Then I can love my neighbor. I think the bumps we hit on the road are due to what Kevin is speaking about. We are all here, and we are to love one another. The body cannot be at an end with itself. Jesus prayed that we would be one. I told that today to a fellow I met on my journey. I have to say our conversation was preplanned by the Lord.
Q 1. What happens when believers come together to study God’s Word, pray, and develop their faith to where they agree?
As I heard Dr. Kevin say recently, I believe That God’s Kingdom would have been set up on Earth. This reminds me of times when we discuss what would have happened if Jesus had been accepted as the Messiah at His first appearance. Then we think how terrible it is that He was not. But can we be that much different than those who rejected Him 2,000 years ago? The only difference is God and His mercy. We have found Him due to that, and He knew we would say yes to Him before we were born. That is not predestination. We all have free will and must tell the world they can be saved!
We reject Him each time we reject one another within the Body.
I agree with Dr. Kevin when he speaks against Calvinism. It gives our fallen flesh an excuse not to share the Gospel.
The Kingdom has to take root in our hearts. Then it has to manifest in works. Those works should include sharing the Gospel. It might be a kind gesture that leads to a conversation. The kind gesture is fruit in and of itself.
Q 2. Luke 1:37 says that with God, nothing will be impossible. According to this study, what are some ways to increase your faith?
Stay in God’s Word. Stay close to Jesus, pray, and acknowledge His as Lord and Savior. Pray for God to use you to share His Son. That prayer is always answered for me. That increases my faith. The lies of the enemy will come at you from every direction. But you are a Truth carrier. You carry the Holy Spirit who saves you and the world.
Q 3. How can one person’s supernatural encounter with God impact the body of Christ and the world? Talk about how these are not to be viewed as superheroes but are meant to bless the whole body.
We cannot place pastors on a pedestal. We should show honor where honor is due, but we cannot idolize a person. We seem to do that no matter the case. We idolize movie stars, pastors, and sports figures. In the church, this can be subtle and not noticed. We can celebrate men and women of God, but we must remember that only Christ saves. I will not regress, but I have seen behavior expressed from the pulpit that should not be expressed. If you idolize this person, you would think this is coming from God when it can be a manifestation of the flesh.
We have to, first and foremost, honor Christ. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is where every shepherd has to direct the flock Jesus is gathering.
Q 4. Discuss the importance of understanding how God ordained your generation according to Acts 17:26. Why is it important that we move from an individualistic mindset to caring about our generation?
See the harvest. Jesus tells us it is full and ready for harvest. See all the people you come across as potential for the Kingdom. The crowds in the streets as sheep without a shepherd who needs to come into the fold.
Q 5. Discuss how great moves of God have been started in the past. How does that encourage you? And how does that impact your sense of responsibility to the Lord and the body of Christ?
When I was a teenager, there were Gospel songs on secular radio. They were hits. Pop music, some rock, and roll, and Gospel songs too. Happy Day was played on the radio to mock Christians. It became a number-one hit. The Jesus Movement started in California. The King of Kings was a staple every Easter. I remember being so impacted by the Sermon on the Mount as a little child sitting on the floor in front of the TV.
Pray with one another and for anyone with specific needs or prayer requests.
Please remember to pray for me and everyone receiving the weekly email at Warrior Notes Tribeca, including the ministry team and Dr. Kevin Zadai.
If anyone has a suggestion, they can post a comment here, send me an email, or both. What can we do as a body to support a local mission such as the Bowery Mission in NYC? The links for this mission and others like it are in each email I send weekly.
Stay in the Lord, and don’t let anything steal your joy. Circumstances come our way, but circumstances cannot take complete control of us. Christians should not be given over to situations but take appropriate actions when the waves rage.
God Bless you and keep you!

It is vital to the body of Christ that we are in one accord so that the Whole body may be edified. There is only One body of Christ. When there’s agreement in the Spirit, there’s a cathartic effect that enables us to Move Mountains!
Paul exhorts that we should be filled with All the goodness of God! that we should remain close to Him and in community with believers so that our Faith grows and we don’t lose heart but remain steadfast in our walk with God.
Amen,
