All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations – Matthew 20:18-19

Victories should be held by the victors! For this cause, the word of God says to today’s Church: “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne” (Revelation 3:21).

Sunday School

A recent Sunday school lesson (“Powerful Faith” dated Sunday, March 1, 2026) highlighted Mark 9:14-29. It is the account of “Powerless disciples: mighty Christ”[i] and “The demonic boy cured”[ii] as titled by certain study Bibles. The Sunday school teacher for that Sunday said that God gave her to deal with the mountaintop and the valley shown to her in the lesson. What she gave was good. The lesson was the biblical narrative of Jesus Christ coming down from the transfiguration on a high mountain with Peter, James, and John. He encountered his disciples being questioned by the Scribes and a great multitude about them. He asked the masters of the law concerning their questioning of his disciples, and the father among the multitude answered. He answered regarding the matter of his son: that his son needed deliverance of a spirit, but his disciples were unable to cast it out . . . What is of notice and worth shedding light upon is Christ’s response. Christ’s reply says much to the Body of Christ because we fail to both hear and believe as the people then and still now. During Sunday school that Sunday, there was much comments on the lesson and a couple of questions. The pastor of that house even came out of his office and preached that Sunday upon the Sunday school lesson in regards to zeal and there being a need for Christ to be formed in us . . . from Galatians 4:19. I heard his word; but, my mind was still on the lesson, what was given to me as I sat in Sunday school to share about the lesson, and the disregard, unbelief, or lack of understanding towards that Word that God gave me to voice. The dismissal of the Word is what stood out and remained before me. The overall response to the Word of God was a dismissive reply that “we can do nothing: God has to do it. It has to be his will . . .” So, because what was said is not absolutely wrong although wrong as a reply to the Word regarding the Gospel and the Spirit realm, God gave me to then write and share to others in the Body towards this shared, dismissive outlook . . . And, it is understood that some things of God must be taught upon for others to see, hear, and believe. This is one of those instances. Consequently, the tacit unbelief or rejection of what was voiced by me did not just go away or be disregarded by the Spirit within me for a reason. God desires Teachers to teach in the Body of Christ: lest there be no understanding concerning the Word . . . The Bible says, “He who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (Matthew 13:23). For this cause, it is for me to share the Word regarding Mark 9:14-29 that ought to be received, heard, and shared. It is a Word of the Gospel of the kingdom of God.

        First and foremost, the Church is regarded as the “Body of Christ.” The Body of Christ is a biblical reference of the Church that is acknowledged and well-known by the saints. The Church is on Earth during this dispensation of grace to “occupy until Christ comes,” as he put it once in a parable (Luke 19:13). The Church is here established to be as Christ in place of him on Earth . . . This is showcased throughout the following, upcoming Scriptures used towards the Word regarding the recent Sunday school lesson. So, with the Church understood to be the physical representation of the Lord Jesus Christ still on Earth, known as the Body of Christ, then what is Christ’s messianic ministry? Christ’s ministry is this, found in his response to John the Baptist’s inquiry as told by the Scriptures:
