In the following 12 devotions you will find some things that are going to stir you on the inside and make you
think of the condition of the body of Christ. As well as your roll in the body of Christ. I wrote these devotions
as the Holy Spirit quickened me. I wrote them out of my concern for the body of Christ as well as my roll in the
body also. Not considering myself to have already apprehended as the Apostle Paul wrote concerning
himself. These devotions may not only make you think but they may even anger you or sadden you at
different times. You may agree with them or disagree with them. What ever they cause you to do know this,
we are all growing and developing in the Body of Christ all the time. For that is what the body is designed to
do. Grow up into the head Jesus, in all things. Into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Jesus. In this
growth and developing process there will be times that we have to stir ourselves up and put off some things
that are keeping us from developing and growing as we ought. At the same time things not needed are put
off, it will be time to put on things that we do need to properly grow up into Jesus. The put off and put on
process will include times of repentance and at all times humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God. I
hope as you read these devotions that regardless of anger or sadness or gladness you read them with
integrity of heart knowing also that I wrote these out of the love of God and you the body of Christ. And you
that may join the body of Christ. The body of Christ which is the fullness of him that filleth all in all. The light of
the world going into the entire world with the saving gospel message of Jesus Christ. For Jesus said you are
the light of the world. God Bless You
