As it is in Heaven III
In the Book of Acts there is a record of the encounter of Saul of Tarsus with the Lord from Heaven. Here was where Paul lost his sight. He physically lost his sight, and later his eyes were opened. To me this is speaking of Saul losing his earthly sight and seeing from the Lord from Heaven. He saw a Light from Heaven who was brighter than the sun. This speaks volumes to me.
From here Saul would change his name to Paul, speaking of a new creation. This is what Paul saw in the Light from Heaven, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. He saw a New Creation. Jesus said to Paul, “Saul, Saul why do you persecute me?” Who art thou LORD. I am Jesus whom thou persecutes.” Saul was carrying orders regarding the Church. He was persecuting the Church. He was persecuting the Lord’s Body.
The Lord’s Body, the Church is a Heavenly Vision. That is seeing from Heaven. Seeing that the Church is not an institution, not simply a gathering, a building or meeting, but the divine Body of the Lord Jesus Himself is seeing from Heaven. If we saw this, we would nourish one another in the knowledge of the Lord. There would be great unity, because we see through Him. We would not see Baptist and Pentecostal, Lutheran or Episcopal. We would see the Body of the Lord.
Hear this. The Church, His Body is a Heavenly position. You were not the Body of Christ by natural birth. You are His Body by the Spirit. Everything of the Spirit is Heavenly. Through Christ Jesus you and I who are His are living in the Heavenly Realm, above principalities and powers. We are living through Christ. We are to be the exhibiting of Christ in the earth. We are His Body. Glory to God!
