7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. . . .  9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,  10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. God chose you to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth . . . . . .  stand firm.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-15

  • The Church is neither a building nor denomination; it is the Body of Christ. YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) appointed YESHUA/JESUS the universal & supreme Head, and those “in Christ” represent His Body (Eph 1:20-23).  
  • The Church (which is the Body of Christ) is responsible for the preservation of humanity. That is, the man/male (who has the life generating seed) & the woman/female (who has the life producing uterus) as initially created by the LORD God are to preserve the life of humankind (Genesis 1:26-27).  
  • The Church (which is the Body of Christ) is responsible for this planet. For the LORD God gave man (i.e., male, female) dominion over all the earth (Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 61:4).  
  • The Church (which is the Body of Christ) is to hold back iniquity. For those born again have the nature of the LORD God, including His immeasurable, unlimited, surpassing power through the present-day Ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is the indwelling within and the Anointing upon all “in Christ” (Eph 1:19 & 3:20; Acts 1:8; Rom 8:9).  
  • The Church (which is the Body of Christ) is empowered by faith through the power of the Spirit of God; we receive by faith, we speak/decree the promises of God delineated in the Word of God by faith, and the LORD God does the heavy lifting – He does the work (John 5:19 & 8:26b,28,38 & 12:49-50 & 14:10,24b).  
  • “The Church (which is the Body of Christ) is not here to take sides; it’s here to take over” (Dr. Bill Winston).
