In and for the Lord’s spreading on earth we may experience and enjoy the resurrected and ascended Christ as the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit. We need to be clear that the propagation of the resurrected, ascended, and all-inclusive Christ as the development of the kingdom of God is NOT any movement of man, […]
Taking the Word of the Spirit through the Body and doing the one Work of Building
