I guess you get a Sabbath message this weekend as well!
This is a message that started brewing a few months ago, and Father says that now is the time to share it.
Holy Spirit revealed to me some time ago that there is an issue in the Body of Christ that largely goes untalked about.
I will be discussing what Holy Spirit calls the octopus mentality- the need to have your hands in anything and everything, believing it is benefiting the body of Christ.
We will talk about identity, purpose, failings in the Body, and realigning with Father.
This will be a great message, and I pray you will join me this Saturday, June 27th, at 11:00am EST. I will be live here on my Facebook and on my YouTube-

This concept highlights a common tendency to want to engage in multiple ministries or church activities simultaneously, believing it strengthens the Body of Christ. However, this can often lead to burnout and a loss of focus on one's true calling and gifts.
From personal experience, focusing on specific areas where my talents and spiritual gifts could best serve helped me achieve a more meaningful and impactful ministry. The discernment process involves prayerfully asking, "Where can I best benefit the Body?" This was emphasized in the accompanying message graphics shared by Redeemed Ministries, which also advise staying within your God-given assignment before moving on to others.
Additionally, this message reminds believers to realign consistently with the Father's guidance. Without this realignment, the Church risks diminished effectiveness and fractured unity. By purifying our motives and asking where we are called to serve, as advised in the message, we ensure that our efforts contribute positively to the collective mission.
Attending live discussions or watching messages like this can be a powerful way to gain insights and encouragement for walking in alignment with God's purpose. This particular Sabbath message serves as a timely reminder to evaluate our involvement and remain obedient, prepared, and prayerful. It’s an invitation to become part of one unified bride, the Church, as described in Revelation 19:7-8.
If you’re juggling many roles in church or ministry, this message challenges you to focus, seek clarity from the Holy Spirit, and serve where you are called. It’s about quality and purpose-driven involvement rather than quantity, ensuring the Body of Christ functions harmoniously.
