Psa:34:1  My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

When my soul is nourished by His Word and the wonderful promises that it holds, it realizes the unfathomable love of God, His Son and the Comforter Spirit. So, it takes pride in the Lord for all His mercies, love, compassion and the gift of salvation. When the humble souls come to know how the Lord delights in humility and exalts the lowly, they are exhilarated and their hope is kindled. Their trust builds thereby laying the foundation for a strong faith.

(Proverbs 22:4, Psalm 34:2)

When we knead the wheat flour, it conveniently binds together to form soft dough.This is due to the presence of  the main storage protein of wheat grains which is called gluten.It acts as a binding agent for the dough and holds it together.

Similarly, when we are born again and the Holy Spirit dwells in us, it acts as ‘gluten’ in Christian fellowship.In the spiritual realm, believers in Christ  are able to instantly identify and relate  with each other because of the indwelling of this ‘spiritual gluten’, called the Holy Spirit.

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise….(Ephesians 1:13)

The ‘gluten of the Holy Spirit’ helps the Christ believers to instantaneously associate with and accept each other as brethren.It infuses love of Christ which holds the body of Christ together just as ground wheat  kernels are kneaded to form the dough.

  And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,  …….. but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.( Hebrews 10:24-25)

……. Let all things be done for building up.(1 Corinthians 14:26) 

Now ,the dough can be made edible or become useful only if it is subject to heat. Similarly, each member of the ‘body of Christ’  is subject to the refiner’s fire in their lives so that the whole body functions in a perfect manner for the glory of God.

I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’ (Zechariah 13:9)

 …. that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, (1Peter 1:7)

Now there are certain flours like millet,corn etc. which do not contain gluten.These represent the people of the world who have not accepted Lord Jesus as their Saviour.Since the Holy Spirit does not dwell in them, they cannot bind together as a spiritual entity. Their associations are led by selfish or worldly motives.

The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.(Luke 8:14)

The world is passing away, and all the things that people want in the world are passing away.  …..(1 John 2:17)

That is why Apostle Paul warns us not to comply with the standards of the world because they are destined to perish.(Romans 12:2)

We should remain bound together as wheat dough. Also, it is important for the ‘dough’ of Christ to be unleavened so that the puffiness of pride,unrighteousness,covetousness, unholiness etc. does not spoil the entire dough.

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

(1 Corinthians 5:8)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are our Master Chef  Who binds all Your followers into a ‘dough of unleavened bread’ by the ‘gluten of the Holy Spirit’. Lord, we pray that this dough  is not influenced by the  ‘leaven’ of the sins of this world and the snare of the devil.  May we all remain united in oneness of Spirit as we eagerly await the day of Your coming  in the hope of fulfilment of spending an everlasting life with you,

In the most precious name of our beloved Lord Jesus, Amen.

Testimony 

Day before yesterday I had a patient with severe dizziness who was not able to stand or even walk. Her symptoms did not allow her to even lie down. She was a strong Brahmin. I kept the patient in observation from morning to evening I gave her medicines yet she did not improve. Evening when I met her I had the urge to give her the gospel. She was suffering from mental depression because she lost her son two years back in an unfortunate incident.

All in her family knew that she was having dizziness because of the antipsychotic medicines.  But I knew she had a scar which is to be healed only by Jesus Christ. So I gave her the gospel.  I told her, “Jesus Christ the Lord who created you wants you to be well that is why He had to die on the cross for you to release physical healing, peace and salvation”. I lead her in the repentance prayer. She was healed as she received Jesus in her heart. Next day morning when I saw her during my rounds she was completely healed she was happy , she was able to sit walk without support she had peace of Jesus in her heart , a glow on her face , thank you Jesus for healing her.
