Unity!

I had a dream during my second sleep (7:30-10am) today (12-31-23) in it, I was with a group of people who were getting ready for a Christmas gathering at a church. I asked a question (I do not remember it) and no one gave a good answer so they asked me what the answer was.(I do not remember my answer). Then someone asked me what I meant.

I said, There is no unity in the Church, there are many Protestant Churches and they are divided by Denomination and they do not work together or with other Churches. There are also many independent Churches and they are trying to become mega churches, not working together. Even the Catholic Church has no unity, the Diocese across the street (from where we were) does not work with the one by where I live.

Then I wandered off and organized packages.

Sadly this is true that there is no real unity in the Church and I have touched on it in some of my teachings. JESUS is The Head of His Body (The Church). Paul has a pretty good teaching on this in his second letter to the Corinthian Church (1st Corinthians). We are all different members of the body with our own calling, not just as individuals, also as groups, fellowships and organizations.

JESUS has given all of us different gifts and callings in our mother’s womb and The HOLY SPIRIT is trying to get us to recognize them and live accordingly. When we are where GOD has planned for us to be and doing what He has planned for us to do (after much training and preparation) then we will be more effective for the Work of His Kingdom in the earth as it is in Heaven, and the most satisfied in our life.

The Bible is full of commands on unity: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” “Do not covet your neighbor’s stuff.” “Lay down your life for your brothers and sisters in CHRIST.” “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” “Love your enemies and pray for those who spitefully use you.” These are commands from JESUS Who did all these things to bring Salvation, which unites us in Him as one body.

A Psalm of David about an event that happened decades before he was born is the clarion call for unity, Psalm 133 TLV.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for the brothers to dwell together in unity!

It is like precious oil on the head, coming down upon the beard - Aaron’s beard - coming down on the collar of his robes.

It is like the dew of Hermon, coming down upon the mountains of Zion. For there The LORD commanded the Blessing - Life Forevermore!” (Study Hebrews 10:23-25)

There is One GOD, One Father, One Son, One Spirit, one baptism, one body!

We are not saved to be on our own, we are saved into The Eternal Body of CHRIST!

If we reject GOD’s Salvation we will die into a lonely life of torment in the Lake of Fire!

GOD’s ordination of family: “A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined with his wife and they shall become one flesh…and GOD said ‘Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it.’” We are not meant to be alone, we are meant to be in a natural family and a spiritual family. “You must be born again!,,,Born of Spirit and water.”

Unity is the only way to live united with CHRIST; JESUS said we must abide in Him and He in us. Paul teaches us that we are a living body, each having their place and responsibility; Peter teaches us that we are living stones built on the Foundation of CHRIST!

Paul said, “One plants, one waters and another harvests.” Unity is each doing what GOD had called them to do, blending together our gifts for the harvest of souls.

“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent Love for one another, for Love will cover a multitude of sins. Be hospital to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a Gift, Minister it to one another, as Good Stewards of the Manifold Grace of GOD.” 1 Peter 4:7-11 NKJV
