Episode 401: Equipped and Ready | Pastor Verna DeHart

Soul Harvest Worship Center

Welcome to the empowering message titled "Equipped and Ready" by Pastor Verna DeHart. Prepare to dive into the transformative truth that Christ has a dedicated equipping team assigned to develop the Bride (Church) and get her ready for His return.

In Ephesians 4:11-16, the apostle Paul outlines the various gifts given to the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. These gifts are designed to fully equip and perfect the saints for works of service, building up the body of Christ. Discover the journey towards oneness in faith and knowledge, growing spiritually to become mature believers in the fullness of Christ. Pastor Verna DeHart unveils the importance of speaking the truth in love, enabling the church to grow and mature, joined together in unselfish love.

Explore the 11 marks of the true Church (Bride) that Jesus is coming back for:

• 1. She is glorious-marked by the visible, tangible, manifest presence of God in her midst. (#Characteristic-Love)
  2. She is holy because of the Blood of Jesus, and she chooses a holy lifestyle to match her identity in Christ.
  3. She is victorious over the devil and sin because of the Blood of Jesus, the grace of God, and the power of the Holy Ghost.
  4. She is without blemish because of the Blood of Jesus and the washing of the Word, and she chooses to live a life that reflects her identity in Christ.
  5. She is complete in Christ and doesn’t need any external thing to make her complete. She knows who she is, Whose she is, and doesn’t compete or become jealous of others.
  6. She has come into the unity of the faith.
  7. She acknowledges and is submitted to the headship of Jesus Christ.
  8. She has come to maturity by submitting to authority and allowing herself to be shepherded, led, fed, loved, instructed, and corrected.
  9. She speaks the truth in love, and her life matches her words.
  10. She is discerning. She can identify snakes, wolves, those who use cunning trickery, and deceitful schemers who are only amongst God’s people for personal profit.
  11. She will manifest the fullness of Christ to the world.
