Greetings Greetings Brothers and Sisters. Randy and I pray that you are well and the Lord continue to bless and protect you and your loved ones. Holy Spirit has been revealing to me the importance of unity in the Body of Christ in these last days. Here in the United States we are witnessing everything else but unity. Wherever you turn you can see lines of division, man siding against man, political parties standing to defend their platforms, black against white, and even in His Church plagued with differing doctrines and denominations.
We are living in evil days as we are warned in Ephesians 5:14-16, Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light. Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise—sensible, intelligent people; Making the very most of the time—buying up each opportunity—because the days are evil. There can be no doubt that we are living in times when we MUST stand together as one body so that God can manifest His power to this lost and dying world. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 If My people who are called by My name shall humble themselves, pray and seek, crave and require of necessity My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open, and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place. For I have chosen and sanctified (set apart for holy use) this house, that My name may be here for ever, and My eyes and My heart will be here perpetually. Matthew 12:25 And knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation and laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will last or continue to stand!
Family it is time that we wake up, arise from our apathy and come together as one body, soul and heart through repentance, forgiveness and humbleness. No one has all the answers. God’s house is divided, and it cannot stand against the attacks of the enemy that moment by moment is coming against us to rob, kill and destroy. Psalm 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment poured on the head, that ran down on the beard, even the beard of Aaron (the first high priest), that came down upon the collar and skirts of his garments (consecrating the whole body); Like the dew of (lofty) Mount Hermon, and the dew that comes on the hills of Zion; for THERE the Lord has commanded the blessing, even life for evermore (upon the high and the lowly).
It is urgent that we, as the chosen children of the Living God, lay down all of our prejudices, criticisms, differences and humble ourselves before the Holy Father, interceding and praying for His mercy to come upon this nation. Families must join together as they did in the book of Nehemiah, standing shoulder to shoulder for one common cause, to rebuild the walls and doors of our great nation. At the end of the day does it really matter what denomination you belong to or what theological doctrine you have chosen to believe? I have chosen just one thing and this shall I seek, to dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life to gaze upon His beauty and inquire in His temple. He is the head of the Body, and we each have a purpose and function as part of that body. No one can say that they are more important or know the truth better than another. God is no respecter of men! He loves each and every one of His children the same. So as Jesus was one with His father, so too we are to be one with Him and with each other. I pray this day that you will truly consider the importance of laying aside the what you “believe”, and just love one another in the same way that Jesus loved us. For there is no greater love that when one lays down his life for a friend. God bless you all.
