The LORD JESUS said:
Matthew 18:20
King James Version
20 For where two or three
are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
PRAISE village is a born-again village concept.
There are many born agains in this world.
But not all born agains are TRUE born agains.
How can one differentiate?
Only through Scripture:
Romans 12:5
King James Version
5 So we,
being many,
are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
King James Version
12 For as the body is one,
and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body,
being many,
are one body:
so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized
into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:23-25
King James Version
23 And those members of the body,
which we think to be less honourable,
upon these we bestow more abundant honour;
and our uncomely parts
have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need:
but God hath tempered the body together,
having given more abundant honour
to that part which lacked.
1 Corinthians 12:25
King James Version
25 That there should be no schism in the body;
but that the members should have the same care
one for another.
1 Corinthians 12:26-27
King James Version
26 And whether one member suffer,
all the members suffer with it;
or one member be honoured,
all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ,
and members in particular.
Ephesians 5:20-21
King James Version
20 Giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another
in the fear of God.
Colossians 1:21-22
King James Version
21 And you,
that were sometime alienated
and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death,
to present you holy
and unblameable
and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians 1:26-28
King James Version
26 Even the mystery
which hath been hid from ages
and from generations,
but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach,
warning every man,
and teaching every man in all wisdom;
that we may present every man
perfect in Christ Jesus:
Galatians 3:26-28
King James Version
26 For ye are all the children of God
by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you
as have been baptized into Christ
have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
People of PRAISE village don't bicker among themselves.
They are perfectly-attuned to the WORD of GOD.
They live simply, and humbly.
They live by the Bible.
To praise GOD, as they live and work, is the objective.
To love, as JESUS taught us to love, is the path taken.
The believer's true home is in heaven.
We are merely perfecting ourselves on earth.
Starting with our PRAISE village.
