How is the church built up today? Someone learns about the Father, God Himself, and then about His Son, Jesus. To this person, this disciple of God, the Father reveals what convinces them that Jesus is the Father’s Son. They go on to learn from Jesus that Jesus is Master, the Lord, a human of perfection, full of love and fully loved by the Father, the Master of the household of God. That is the revelation step. Then comes the anointing step. Jesus recognises in this person the success of the revelation given by His Father, and applies anointing of the Holy Spirit to this person. The anointing teaches that it is the Father who has created all things and who has woven into all of Nature a name He so loves—the name, brand, reputation of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. God makes all this truth known through the anointing which is given to this person—an anointing of the Holy Spirit. They learn the reputation behind the name of the Lord Jesus Christ which is so effective for saving them from their sins, and so effective for building them into the Temple together with others so anointed. Their faith in the sonship and lordship of Jesus grows into faith in the power of the reputation of his name. They learn to take action for his name, bringing others together by it, and blessing those gatherings, such that the power of the Holy Spirit enters and blesses these gatherings. In all this blessing for the sake of Jesus’ the church is built up. This brings glory to Jesus and to God his Father. It creates a family for God. This family is the true church.
