Ephesians 4:4-6

4 [There is] one body and one Spirit--just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received--

5 [There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign over all], pervading all and [living] in [us] all.

Look at what the Truth is, there is only one body, there are not several bodies that make up the body of Christ, there is only one body! We are Jesus’ body and we are kept by the power of the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:19-20. Consider Jesus’ flesh when you read these verses, Jesus, the Head of the Body. Jesus’ flesh was beaten, tortured, and crucified. His flesh laid dead in a tomb for 2 1/2 days. No blood pumped to Jesus’ brain and no blood flowed through His organs for 2 1/2 days. Yet Jesus’ flesh was raised from the dead and eleven days after it was raised up, Jesus told Thomas to place his fingers in the open wounds. Jesus’ flesh, our Head, is no longer living by the power of flesh, it is living by the power of the Holy Spirit. Eleven days after being cut open, a body would start to heal up, yet Jesus told Thomas to place his fingers in the wounds. Could you imagine how that would hurt if Jesus’ flesh was living by the power of flesh? But it wasn’t, it was raised up and is now living solely by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Now go back and read the Truth again, the Truth that there is only one body. Do you see how powerful that one little saying is? It doesn’t matter what a doctor may say about our flesh, because we are now kept by the power of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus’ flesh is kept by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why the Truth is that by His stripes we are healed, 1 Peter 2:24, because there is only one body, and as He is, so are we in this world, 1 John 4:17! Amen that is a Truth that will set you free. Faith comes from hearing the Truth and faith is the evidence of things hoped for! The Truth for us is that we cannot help but be godly and our flesh is kept just as Jesus‘ flesh is kept! Ephesians is such a great Book in the Bible. The power of what the Holy Spirit tells us here goes so far beyond what religion wants us to have. The Truth is that today is the day of all of this and now is its appointed time, 2 Corinthians 6:2.

There is also only one Spirit. We do not have several different spirits, there is only one. So we are one with our Father, just as Jesus is One with Him, because there is only One! Think of the One Spirit for a moment. Isn’t the One Spirit, the Holy Spirit Omnipotent? Isn’t the Holy Spirit all knowing, Omnipresent, and all powerful? He is and there is only One Spirit and we are part of the One Spirit. Do you see what this Truth means for us? 

Now ask yourself this question, when are we part of the One Spirit? 

The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. John 14:17

Today is the day of our salvation and today we are one with the Holy Spirit, the only Spirit, the One Spirit. Today we are as He is, even while we are in this world. Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free.
