Day of Unity Part One

Father we come into your Throne Room by the Blood of Christ,
lead us by the Holy Spirit to pray for unity in the church,
and to pray for all believers, bring revival and restoration
to us.

We pray for unity today, we pray for unity
tomorrow, we pray for unity in the future, we pray
for unity in the end times, and we pray for unity
forever.

Give us a passion for love, a passion for unity, a passion
for the Bride of Christ, today and forever.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


“in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee”
“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified
[are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call
them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my
brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto
thee.” (Heb 2:11-12 AV)

“And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare
[it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in
them, and I in them.” (Joh 17:26 AV)

“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me,
but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I
received of my Father.” (Joh 10:17-18 AV)

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends.” (Joh 15:12-13 AV)


Let us lay down our divisions, and see how much we have in
common, let us begin to build not only in faith, but also in
love. Let us build in love; let us build our love for one
another. Let us go from our faith, to faith in God, the
faith that we can build upon.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is
written, The just shall live by faith.” (Ro 1:16-17 AV)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


Let us lay down our swords and begin huge “one another”,
until we fall in endless love. Until we are lost in love
forever. Let us humble ourselves and wash one another’s feet
in love and healing. Yes let us heal one another, let us put
down our bats and come and gather one another into love and
unity in Christ.

“If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.” (Joh 13:14 AV)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe Jesus is the Son of
God? Do you believe Jesus is Lord? Let us love one another,
let us fellowship with one another, and let us even kiss one
another by faith.

“[Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
in honour preferring one another;” (Ro 12:10 AV)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


Let us love one another with the Love of God, the love out
of our human will, the love that comes only from Christ and
the Holy Spirit.

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see
that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:” (1Pe
1:22 AV)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


Let us give way to love and good works; let the knowledge of
Christ, prayer, worship, fellowship, love and good works
begin our new day of unity.

“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to
good works:” (Heb 10:24 AV)

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them.” (Eph 2:10 AV)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


We shout grace, grace!

We Shout unity, unity!

We shout grace, grace!

We Shout unity, unity!

We shout grace, grace!

“Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace.” (Eph 4:3 AV)

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” (Eph 4:13
AV)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


We pray for unity today, we pray for unity tomorrow, we pray
for unity in the future, we pray for unity in the end times,
and we pray for unity forever.

“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)

“we will shew forth thy praise to all generations”
“Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let
him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the
revenging of the blood of thy servants [which is] shed. Let
the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are
appointed to die; And render unto our neighbours sevenfold
into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have
reproached thee, O Lord. So we thy people and sheep of thy
pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth
thy praise to all generations.” (Ps 79:10-13 AV)

“there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd”
“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)

"that the world may know"
“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)

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!*


Father we pray for unity and love to flow to
hearts of all believers in Christ, and the church
around the world. We pray in the Name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, Amen.
