Hardly ever does the Lord speak a word through me, however, He is saying, my people are too body conscious. I never taught body while I was on earth in my flesh, this came later as a teaching of how I care for my people and it got blown way our of proportion by the carnal minds of man. I never taught body or bride of Messiah. The anointing can not have a bride or body, it is simply my power poured out for my purpose. You are my anointing in the earth. But, I will, and soon, manifest my sons in the earth for they groan for it and all of creation cries in my ears and strains under the burden of death and decay. Even now it is starting, even now the birth is accomplished, the manchild stands before the dragon and I will cause him to ascend where I am and be seen by those upon the earth.

Those who have seen the truth of the Babylon Harlot Religion System of Worship and have come out must now allow the Spirit of revelation to get Babylon out of them. The teaching of the bride of Messiah or Body of Messiah is a church teaching. As do most new moves of God we try to hang onto any teaching that has blessed our souls while in bondage to Babylon. Like the Israelites when they came out of Egypt, sometimes we long for the leeks and garlic. Sometimes when we come out we drag along with us some idols from the religious realm. I brought out the rapture theory until God burned that out of me with the heat of the son in the wilderness where I sojourn(dwell temporally). Since then the Lord has been burning bridges behind me, so to speak, ever sense. Doctrinal church teachings have left us drowning in deep theology waters. Paul warned about being so quickly removed from the simplicity of the gospel. I fear that we as God’s people have become so intellectual that we have strayed from the simplicity of Messiah.

When the Lord spoke the above word to me it literally knocked me back on my heals. It seems as though even those who have come out of religion are placing their hope in becoming one new man in Messiah, becoming his bride and body. We read in Romans chapter eight that we are groaning to be placed as one new man in the body and become married to YahShua and become his bride. This sounds so spiritual. Even all of creation is waiting for this to happen. Is this what Roman eight says? Let’s look at it and see what all of creation is crying out for and what we long for deep in the recesses of our spirit man.

"The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in HOPE that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this HOPE we were saved…" Rom. 8:19-24

Notice that two times in these few passages of scripture the word "HOPE". You will find no where in the scriptures where the "Bride" or "Body" of Messiah is called the hope of the church(Ekklisia = God’s called out ones).

Messiah in You

First we must establish who or what Messiah is.

Strong's Greed Dictionary # 5547 Christos(Greek Mythos)

Pronounced khris-tos' from GSN5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah(correct translation), an epithet of YahShua:

Now an epithet according to the American Heritage Dictionary is "A term used as a descriptive substitute for the name or title of a person." It is not the person’s proper name.

GSN5548: Transliterated: chrio(Greek Mythos); probably akin to 5530(to act towards one(us) in a given manner) through the idea of contact; to smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service: --anoint. YahShua was the Messiah(anointed one) for us of God.

"The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory."

Now here is the mystery Paul talks about, when YahShua went back to the Father, he sent the comforter or the Holy Spirit and it fell upon his disciples as well as all disciples who look for it ever sense. The Holy Spirit is the anointing of God and now we, by virtue of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon mankind, have become God’s anointed ones(Messiahs) in the earth.

If we are now the anointed ones or the Messiah’s to the world just as YahShua was in his day, how can we be our own bride or body? Notice that Messiah did not begin his ministry until the Holy Spirit rested upon him at the baptism of John. We as his other sons can not minister until the Holy Spirit rests upon or is rubbed upon us and we become God’s anointed. YahShua is the great pattern son. The "hope of the glory" mentioned in the passage above is the anointing that rest upon us to bring us into full sonship so that all of creation may partake of the blessings of the sons of God. Death and decay is swallowed up in life and mortal has put on immortality.

In Eph. 4:15 It says, "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up INTO HIM in all things, which is the Head, even Messiah." The message here is to grow up "INTO HIM". The head is not YahShua, it is Messiah, the anointed ones, the ones anointed for sonship. We do not have a body or bride.

Bride

Paul declare; "Husbands, love your wives, just as Messiah loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Messiah does the church-- for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."

In the first place marriage is an earthly concept, performed and done in our earthly existence. Here the words of YahShua on the subject. YahShua answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Luke 20:34-35

Paul’s statements on Marriage was to show how a man should treat his wife by comparing it to how the Lord cares for his people. He tells them that a man should treat his wife as Messiah does the called out ones. But we have had it all backwards for this is the deception of religion to pull heavenly things down to the earth realm. He was not using the relationship of a man and his wife to explain Messiah and his people; on the contrary, he was using the relationship of Messiah and his called out ones for an example to man and his attitude toward his wife. Men are to love their wives as their own bodies. The sum total of God’s commitment to his people is as his very own body or being and Paul says that should be the way it is with a man and his wife. Somewhere down the line the religious world twisted it and made a doctrine out of it.

Body

"So in Messiah we who are many form one body(group or community), and each member belongs to all the others." Rom. 12:5 "Now the body is not made up of one part but many." 1 Cor. 12:13 Then he goes on to say we are not to esteem one member better or higher than another and that we should hold up and help the week less honorable members with special care. This is the only place I find where we as God’s people are spoken of as a body and function as a human body.

However, the message here is not a body, but members of the believing community that need special help with their walk in God. This too has become a doctrine and seems to become the final purpose for YahShua’s death. The message in this allegory has been lost in the allegory itself.

One scripture we must deal with here is, "For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones." Eph. 5:30 I ask the Lord to give me some light on this and he just repeated what he had said before, "I did not teach this when I was in my flesh." YahShua always pointed people to the Father. He did not come looking for a bride or body. He came preaching the kingdom of God and God’s plan has been from the beginning to bring many sons unto glory. Through YahShua he has given us bower to become sons of God. John 1:14-15

One new man

I have heard the body spoken of as one new man. What does the scriptures say? "For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man…" What! Not a bride or body? It goes on to read. "…Thus making peace, and in this one body(that of YahShua) to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to(brideship? No to…) the Father by one Spirit."

Here we see the one new man. The Old Covenant people of commandments and regulations(Religious Jews) and the Gentiles as the New Covenant people were brought together under the death of YahShua on the cross. "Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)—" Eph. 2:11 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,(his body on the cross) whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."

So we see that the one new man is the man born of the Spirit through the death of YahShua on the cross. "In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So YahShua is not ashamed to call them brothers." No bride or body here!

The way I understood it before was that the son was in the bride for a period of development as a child is in the womb of the woman. Then they are birthed out. The bride goes off into the wilderness to a place prepared for her to be taken care of and the sons ascend into heaven.

I must now rethink this concept. Now I know some that have been birthed out from or came out from the body of believers for it no longer is life to them, me included. Now we have gone out to meet God in the Tent of Meeting outside the camp or corporate membership realm. Out here we develop a one on one relationship with God and are no longer dependent upon others for strength and security because he has become all in all. So I see two distinct realms, each in their own place in God. The realm of all believers called out of Babylon and the elect of God, like the congregation of Israel called out of Egypt and Moses the man of God.

My daughter reminded me that a man shall leave his Father’s house and be united to his wife. "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh". Eph. 5:31 Do you want to leave the Father to be the bride of the Son?

As we mature in our walk with God and allow the Holy Spirit of truth to purge us of all that is still religious in us I think we will find we must change our thinking on a good many things. God did not strip us bear when we left Religion, lest we become too discouraged and just give up. Therefore he is removing, like garments, the clothes of the old order as we put on life and immortality. Paul said that we should not be unclothed, but to be clothed upon with our house from heaven. This old house of the flesh is being changed in a moment of time now upon us, in the twinkling of an eye. This is not just one flash of enlightenment to our understand(eyes) but twinkling as in a renewing of our mind from carnal to spiritual thinking, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little there a little. And then, at the time appointed of the Father this change will be fully seen on earth in the final full translation of our being from mortal to immortal as the sons of God are manifest.
