THE FOOTBALL TEAM, From a vision during prayer time. To the body.

Consider the football teams work, Each player in his place, Each one part of the whole, Yet a specialist in his field, A specialist on the field.

For like the Trainer trains that football team, I AM training you my people to work as a team in the days ahead.

Now you are of the body of Christ, Each one of you is part of my body says the Lord.

For I have appointed in my body, First of all Apostles, Second Prophets, Third Teachers, Then Pastors and Evangelists, Workers of miracles, Also those with gifts of healing, Those able to help others, Those with gifts of administration, And those speaking in all kinds of tongues, All given as my spirit wills, All given for the building up of my body says the Lord.

For like each prayer in that football team has his right place on the field, So it is with you my people.

For all around you is the stadium of the heavenly hosts cheering you on to victory, Cheering you on to finish and win the race, For that is your high calling in Christ says the Lord.

Onwards my people onwards, Onwards towards that finial goal, For you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, Yes onwards to cross that finial goal line, For your goal is within sight my people, For the gates of the Holy city Jerusalem are open before you says the Lord.

Victory is within sight my team, Yes Continue to follow the training that I Am giving unto you.

Do not turn to the left or the right, But stay upon that narrow way that I have shown you in My Word, For My Word is your training manual, My Holy Spirit is your trainer, I AM your referee. For as My Word says that my spirit shall teach you all things, That you will need no man to show the way, For all will know me, All will hear my voice, For my sheep will know my voice says the Lord.

Yes Consider the football teams work, Each player in his place, Each one doing what the trainer has taught him, Each one gifted for his place on the field, Each one part of the whole body, Loving each other, For it is love that binds all together.

Onwards my team, Onwards towards that goal before you, For soon the finale whistle will sound says the Lord.
