Arising City Church Unity, part three:

(Note: This series of five prayers we will be praying
for city church unity. There is only one church in each city,
that church is here called the city church, or the church of
the city, or the church in the city, there is one church of
the city with many congregations.)


Father we come boldly and humbly to the Throne Room by
the Blood of Christ, lead us and guide us by the Holy Spirit
in praying for the church around the world, and the church in
every city, and praying for all members in the body of Christ,
and praying for unity.

Father we pray for reconciliation, unity and oneness
to come to every believer in Christ, to the church around the
world, to every congregation in Christ, to every group in
Christ, and to the city church in every city of every nation
around the world.

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation." (2Co 5:19 AV)


Father we pray for reconciliation, the bridges of
unity, the networkings of unity to come to every city, to come
to every nation, and to come to the whole world among all
Christians in Christ, building the highways and bridges to
unity.

Father we pray for unity to come, raise up the city
church, raise up the community of faith, and raise up city
church unity in the city church in every city of every nation
around the world.

Farther we pray for oneness to come, first oneness
with the Lord and then oneness with one another, we pray a
relationship of oneness to come between every believer in
Christ first with the Lord, and then with one another.

Father by faith we see the revelation of Jesus Christ
our Lord in the midst of all city churches around the world,
there is only one church in each city, and that church is in
the hand of Christ, and Christ is the Head of the Church.
Every city church is in the hand of Christ, He speaks life, He
speaks revival, He speaks vision, He speaks blessings, He
speaks love and He speaks unity.

He, who has an ear, hears what the Holy Spirit says to
the church in every city. The Holy Spirit is saying unity,
unity, unity, unity, and Christ is saying unity, unity, unity,
and the Father is saying unity, unity, and unity.

"But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." (1Co 6:17
AV)

"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." (1Co 12:13 AV)

"Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath
spoken." (Jer 13:15 AV)

"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own
name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as
we [are]." (Joh 17:11 AV)

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this
shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another." (Joh 13:34-35 AV)

"I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in
one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and
hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." (Joh 17:23 AV)


Christ wants His church to be one in each city; there
is one church with many congregations, and He wants us to have
unity, to have vision, and to walk together.
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
(1Jo 3:2 AV)


Jesus is saying, He didn't create division, He creates
many members, many congregations in Christ's oneness.

"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one:" (Joh 17:22 AV)


Father as we believe in the Lord, as we believe in
unity, and faith of one church, a church of many congregations
in one city church, we pray by faith, as we hear by faith the
calling of Christ who is among us.

"[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling;" (Eph 4:4 AV)

"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the
end of the world. Amen." (Mt 28:20 AV)


By faith we see Jesus in the midst of the city
churches around the world, by faith we see Him among the city
church in our city, in your city, and in every city, speaking
and ministering to each congregation, and to all congregations
as a whole and to the city church.


"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." (Joh 3:8
AV)


The Lord is not holding a congregation in His hand, He
is holding the city church in His hand, and a congregation and
the congregations are in the city church.


"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand."
(Joh 10:27-28 AV)

"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also
I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be
one fold, [and] one shepherd." (Joh 10:16 AV)


Yes He is holding your congregation in His hand;
however, we must see the city church in our city, and pray for
city church unity.

Father you are speaking to us through Christ and the
Holy Spirit about the arising city church unity, you are
speaking to us as we pray in faith for unity. Hear our
prayers, and bring city church unity.

"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." (1Co 12:12 AV)


Father raise up the city church in every city around
the world, raise up the regional church in every region around
the world, raise up the national church in every nation, and
raise up the global church in the church around the world.

Father raise up city church unity, regional church
unity, national church unity, and global church unity in the
church around the world.

We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
