Who is the teacher ? Who builds the Church ?


Ephesians 4:12-16

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.


------------------------------------------------------- in other words:
For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.(See Ephesians 4:12-16)

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Philippians 2:5-8 NKJV

Welcome to Eagle-nest Apostolic and Prophetic Teaching Topic: 
Holy Spirit Overshadows the Church “God’s hand reaches out through all eternity taking a seed of Himself and places it within the womb of woman where new life begins and conception takes place. There’s an overshadowing of the Holy Spirit taking place right now in the body of believers. There’s been a sifting in the church and shifting in the Spirit for several years now and it’s finally come to culmination.” Normally the church is referred to as being feminine. However in this passage “the womb of woman” represents the body of Christ. The sanctified imagination is our spiritual womb. It’s the place where we conceive and the seed of belief is sown into our womb. It’s only what you hope for that your faith will produce. I’m comparing this revelation with Mary’s visitation with the angel in Luke Chapter One. The Archangel Gabriel came to Mary saying, “Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.” (Luke 1:31) The true body of believers has been like the young Virgin Mary whose response was that she knew no man. (Vs. 34) These believers resisted the dictates of man, the lust of the world and died to self-gratification. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (1 John 2:16)
And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)





I feel this is where the church has been. She embraced many things she was never entitled to. Instead of the Spirit of Truth, she chose to follow the dictates of men’s heart. And therefore the enemy lorded over her and in pain she brought forth children but without a fear of God and not much form of holiness. But now her desire will be for her husband the Lord. And He shall rule over her because the body of Christ has yielded her will to His. Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:38) Mary mixed the WORD with her FAITH and connected with the anointing. This is where the true body of believers is today. The Holy Spirit of Truth is overshadowing them and conception is taking place. The birthing is going to be glorious. These babies will be more mature than we were at our spiritual birth because everything has accelerated. That which took ten to fifteen years to understand, they will get it in a very short time. The overshadowing of the Holy Spirit will be that of Isaiah 11 and the church will be delivered from the religious spirit. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears; (Isaiah 11:2-3)
