Unity now, tomorrow and the future

"Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law,
happy [is] he." (Pr 29:18 AV)

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you."
(Joh 15:12 AV)


Father we come boldly and humbly to the Throne Room, by faith we
receive the presence and love of the Father, and by faith we believe Christ
is at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for the church and
the world; anoint us to pray and lead us by the Holy Spirit in praying
prayers for unity of the church, and the eternal purpose of our Lord, which
is the Bride of Christ, the church around the world.

Father we pray for unity in the church for the church is your
eternal purpose, your will is for the Church to be one with you through
the Holy Spirit, and to partake of the communion and unity of the Trinity.

Father we pray for unity for the church, for the church is the Bride
of Christ, for Father, your love for the Son is so great, for God is love,
and the Son therefore loves the Bride of Christ in the same way as the
Father loves the Son. This holy love is one of cords that connect us through
the Holy Spirit to the Trinity.

Father as Christ desires someone to love just as much as you love
your Son, Christ gives of Himself freely to reap His beloved eternal
purpose, which is the Bride of Christ, and you, Father, *want* a home to
dwell in, which is the believer, for we are holy temples by the Blood of
Christ and through the Holy Spirit you live in us, therefore we pray for
unity in the church.

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens
with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the
chief corner [stone]; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth
unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit." (Eph 2:19-22 AV)


Father we pray for unity in the church, for you have given us
fourteen visions of unity in the Holy Scriptures, which is the revelation of
the church. The church is a new race, this is a vision of unity, the church
is a family, this is a vision of unity, the church is a body, this is a
vision of unity, and the church is a bride, this is a vision of unity, the
church is an army, this is a vision of unity, the church is a holy
priesthood, this is a vision of unity, the church is a holy nation, this is
a vision of unity, the church is a golden lampstand, this is a vision of
unity, the church is the one Loaf, this is a vision of unity, the church is
God's field, this is a vision of unity, the church is a vineyard, this is a
vision of unity, the church is a sheepfold, this is a vision of unity, the
church is a temple, this is a vision of unity, the church is a city, this is
a vision of unity.

"Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel,
saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them
therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and
they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The
days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. For there shall be no more
any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I
[am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to
pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house,
will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD." (Eze 12:22-25
AV)

"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me
through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me,
and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe
that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given
them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 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 17:20-23 AV)


Father we pray for unity in the church around the world, Father we
pray for the unity of the Spirit, unity of the Faith, and unity of the
Godhead.

Father your will is for the church to come into the same unity and
love that is in between Yourself, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the church
is called into this holy communion by the blood of Christ, by faith, by the
Word of God, and by the Holy Spirit.

Father your will is for the church to lack no gift, no member, no
ministry of the believer, the Holy Spirit is given to each believer, and
together the Holy Spirit manifests God's love to the world. The Holy
Spirit comes in us and in our fellowship with one another; the reason is
for relationship, and the Holy Spirit comes upon us for ministry to one
another and those in the World, and we are to walk in unity and community
together in the ministry and order of the Holy Spirit.

Father your will for the church is community and city connection in
faith and fellowship; you want the church in our cities to be the church of
the city, we pray bring us to this unity, and let us mature more in this
unity, and bring us to the day of mature unity of the church of the city.

Father we pray for unity for the church; we pray for reconciliation
for the church, we pray for the building of the bridges of unity, and we
pray for unity, we pray community of faith, and we pray for oneness, we pray
for the relationship of unity with the Trinity and with one another in
unity. Reconciliation is bridge making, unity is community, and oneness is
relationship. Father we pray for unity in the church.

Unity is now, for faith is now, let the peace of God rule in our
hearts, and let unity manifest in every way and walk of our faith in Christ.


Unity is coming tomorrow for there is hope, and hope is our anchor
for unity is tomorrow, let hope abound in our hearts and let the love of God
be poured out in our hearts, we pray for revivals of love for one another.

Unity is the future of the church, unity is now, for faith is now,
unity is tomorrow for we have hope, and unity is in the future for we have
love. Father you love us, Jesus you love us, and Holy Spirit you love us,
and we will be one, for we are one in Christ.

We pray for the unity of the church.

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