Spiritual Equipping of the Body of Christ

By Apostle Tina Lewis

By the leading of the Holy Spirit, The Spiritual Equipping of the Body of Christ is a spiritual teaching on how to stay equipped through the Word of God. The Spiritual Equipping of the Body of Christ will help you keep every area of your body covered, and it will teach you how to do this. For Ephesians 6:12–13 says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against power, against the rulers of the darkness of this world. The Spiritual Equipping of the Body of Christ will help you fight and win this unforeseen battle. With the Holy Spirit guiding you, you will get a clear and concise input on how to keep you strong in the Word of God. You will feel a sense of personal growth and a more profound connection with Christ. As you read each chapter, you also have scriptures to back of the word, and you also can relate to some of the chapters within. After you have read The Spiritual Equipping of the Body of Christ, I pray that it has done just what the title has said-to help you stay strong in the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Opening

Truly thanking God for the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants the children of God to know that our bodies are not spiritually equipped enough to fight the unseen battle that’s surrounding us. God lets me know that we as Christians have taken part of our armor off, not the kind that Goliath was wearing when he went to battle with David, but the armor that David was wearing when he defeated the giant Goliath.

This armor was invisible to the natural eyes but visible to the spiritual eyes, which were God’s precious Holy Spirit.

Satan has launched an attack on the children of God, and John 10:10 says, The thief {Satan} cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I [Jesus] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. They are us, God’s chosen people.

Now as the Holy Spirit leads me to write about the body of Christ, which is the church, Christ lets me know that we need to go back to the basic meaning, start relearning that of the beginning that Christ intended for his people.

The basics are those things that are in God’s divine order and how to win this fight that the enemy has started and you can find this in the Bible, which means the basic instructions before leaving earth.

It was never intended for God’s creation to go to hell with the devil and his demons, but it was intended for us to enjoy our heavenly kingdom (Heaven), which God has prepared for his children. Instead, the enemy wants the children of God to be destroyed and be
