Our Father in heaven, Almighty God,

I promise, dear Heavenly Father, that when you grant my prayer, I will know that it came from you, by my belief on the name of your Son, Jesus, in agreement with all who believe in Jesus. When I talk with others about how you blessed me in answer to my prayer here, I will let them know it was *most especially* because of Christians who unite in believing in Jesus, so the world can know Jesus was sent by God. I'll tell them that you answered my prayer along with all kinds of Christians praying with me and believing for me, united as one in believing in Jesus, from a wide variety of Christian denominations, non-denominations, and Christian faith groups, all united in the eternal love and holiness God gives to all believers in Jesus.

Here is what I pray for, dear God.



Please God, <fill in your own words of prayer for healing here>



God Almighty, I know you hear my prayer. Let me behold your unbounded eternal love and your incomparable glory in the miracle that I ask here, and I will do what I vow here, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, Jesus, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, giver of all good things, we join together in prayer here on this website for healing as our small sacrifice of a little time and care we give in love to all believers in the name of Jesus.

“12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."..."16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.” (Joh 15:12-13, 16-17 NIV)


We join in prayer together for Janice to be healed, Father, in your one Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all believers in order to give ourselves faith as small as a mustard seed that we at least as unworthy servants, even in this small way, do every thing Jesus has commanded in love for all believers, which is only our duty to do: to serve and to love all believers with each our own life laid down for them the same way Jesus loved all us believers by laying down His life for us all.

“5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you."..."10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.” (Lu 17:5,6,&10 NIV)

“Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.” (1Jo 3:16 AV)


We ask in Jesus' name, Father, that you heal Janice completely of this cancer, that you show your glory to the world in her healing. Make every step the doctors take have the greatest possible benefit to restore Janice to complete health, faster than all think possible.

We thank you, Father, for your promise to show the world the glory you gave Jesus to give to us, the glory of Jesus to make us one in your self-sacrificial love for all believers, so that the world knows you, Father, sent Jesus to the earth.

“22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” (Joh 17:22-23 NIV)


This is our prayer for Janice to be quickly and completely healed, restored to good health and well being in every way, for which we pray united as one in the one, loving Spirit of Jesus you gave every believer, to live in us and lead us: your one Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all believers in the name of Jesus, amen.

Dear Prayers,
please pray for my damaged and relationship problem...

Thank you all

– D – Dangers of Division, by Derry, John


“May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” -John 17:23

When Jesus prayed for unity among his followers, he did so with our best interests in mind. His sensitivity to human nature made him keenly aware of how quickly and easily people allow their personal prejudices and selfish nature to erect barriers between themselves and others. Such attitudes are not without negative consequences. Just as a spirit of unity can serve to communicate the love of God to the world as they see believers dwelling together in harmony (Psalm 133:1), a divisive spirit reveals that something is amiss, raising suspicion in the minds of those same people. Division is a tactic Satan uses for his purposes. It creeps into a fellowship in a subtle way, often beginning with a minor incident or two, and soon becomes the proverbial “elephant in the room” that we try to ignore, until it becomes so obvious we must deal with the problem. Division is dangerous; and we need to be aware of how it impacts the Body of Christ.

Division drains – our energy. When the Apostle Paul admonished the Corinthians for the division that existed within the church (I Cor. 11:18), he reminded them how the problem was even affecting their participation in the Lord’s Supper. This holy activity was not serving the purpose Jesus intended; and in fact, the attitude of those who harbored hostility toward others made it an occasion of sin (11:27). This Corinthian congregation’s energy was being drained; and the division was even having an impact on the physical health of the members (11:30). Numerous studies cite the negative effects of stress on the human body. When there is an environment of tension and anger, we can expect it to take its toll on the people involved. When Jesus prayed for unity, he did so knowing that an atmosphere of peace and love is much more conducive to health, both individually and corporately.

Division destroys – our witness. Jesus experienced the hostility the world exhibits toward those who take a stand for the Lord, yet he knowingly sent his disciples out to face those harsh conditions (John 17:14). A united front sends a message to the world. It says we stand together for something we all believe in so fervently that we are willing to face persecution and, if necessary, give our lives for the cause. However, when the world hears one thing, but sees something different, it dismisses the message as empty rhetoric. Division within the church can be interpreted by the world that the message of God’s love has no validity. As John noted in his letter, “If anyone says, ‘I love God’, yet hates his brother, he is a liar.” (I John 4:20)

Division distracts - us from our mission. There is so little time in life to accomplish
the mission to which Jesus calls us. We cannot afford to be distracted. The time spent
arguing, criticizing and complaining could be so much better directed if it was invested in serving, praising and building up the Body of Christ. There is not a single follower of Christ who has been exempted from the responsibility of letting others see the love of God in action. As Jesus prayed, we have been “sent” into the world on his mission. Nothing is more important, and keeping this in focus puts divisive issues in the proper perspective.
When the warning signs become evident, we would be wise to take whatever corrective measures necessary to prevent division from doing serious damage. Seek forgiveness. Become a peacemaker. Demonstrate unconditional love. Pray for one another. Focus on what we have in common. Remember the petition of Jesus for our unity, when he poured out his heart to the Father on our behalf.


Prayer: Lord, thank you for opportunities to be an instrument of reconciliation. Make me a good listener. When I see the devastation caused by division and damaged fellowship in the Body of Christ, help me be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Give me courage to act and power in prayer. Bless my family and church with the beauty of unity and joy of peace that comes from our common bond in Christ Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen

Sin must be recognized in order to be acknowledged;
Acknowledged in order to be repented of;
Repented of in order to be cleansed;
Cleansed in order to be renewed;
Renewed in order to be restored;
Restored in order to be fruitful;
Fruitful in order to be faithful;
Faithful in order to be approved.

Believers in Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic

THE BODY OF CHRIST IN THE WORLD TODAY IS AT THE SAME PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS WHEN HE WAS IN THE WORLD SAYING “WHERE I AM”, WHEN WE FOLLOW HIM IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDED LOVE AND SELF-SACRIFICE AS IN THE SPIRIT OF THE ONE, GOOD SHEPHERD FOR THE ONE FLOCK, AS JESUS AND THE FATHER ARE ONE, WHERE WE CAN SEE THE MIRACLES THEY BOTH WORK THROUGH US REPENTANT BELIEVERS TO MAKE US ONE IN THAT SPIRIT, TO SHOW THE GLORY HE GAVE US TO GLORIFY THE FATHER IN THE SON, IN WHOM WE ARE ONE IN HIS NAME, GOSPEL, AND SPIRIT, IN SHOWING THE WORLD THE SAME GOSPEL, THAT GOD SENT JESUS TO EARTH TO SUFFER DEATH FOR OUR SINS AND BE RESURRECTED TO ALL ETERNAL POWER IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, TO GIVE HIS ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT TO LIVE IN ALL REGENERATED, MUTUALLY LOVING AND FORGIVING BELIEVERS IN THE NAME OF JESUS FOR REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS, IN ALL CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS AND CHRISTIAN FAITH GROUPS

Father, teach us where Jesus wants us now, in this world, to be with Him, to be where He was in this world, at the time when He said "where I am", which is the location He took great pains to tell us where He was at the time; “Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.” (Joh 14:11 NIV).

Remind us that when Jesus made reference to “where I am”, He was referring to the fact that He was at the same time both spiritually in the Father in Heaven, and simultaneously a man on earth with the Spirit of the Father in Him, saying and doing the words Jesus said and all the things Jesus did, including such as doing miracles to begin to unite all in Christ, including all who would eventually come to believe because we repentant, mutually loving believers are one in His Spirit.

Help us recall, Father, how Jesus said we would finally realize we are also in the same place as He was in this life, in that we’ll be spiritually in Jesus who is now in the Father in heaven, while at the same time each of us is a person on earth with the Spirit of Jesus in us, starting on the day when we both have and obey His commandments, “On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” (Joh 14:20 NIV). Because Jesus and the Father are one, Jesus also says we will be a person on earth with both the Father and Son making their home in us when we obey the teaching of Jesus, “Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” (Joh 14:23 NIV)

Help us remember the scriptures where Jesus says we only get there in this life, to be spiritually in Jesus who is in the Father in heaven now, with Jesus and Father in the Spirit in us on earth, in that same place where Jesus was in this life at the time when He spoke of “where I am”, when we join Him continually in this life by each of us making that daily, commanded self-sacrifice as was mentioned here earlier that Paul also referred to in Galatians Chapter 5, which is our obligation to follow in the steps of the Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd who lays down His life to gather in one flock all the Father’s sheep who will come to Jesus in repentance for forgiveness of our sins, in God’s self-sacrificial love and care for all the repentant sheep.
“11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.” (Joh 10:11-13 NIV)
“24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” (Ga 5:24-26 NIV)
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (Joh 10:27 NIV)
“23 Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 I tell you the truth, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me. 27 ¶ "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."” (Joh 12:23-28 NIV)

Show us, Father, where Jesus said you will honor us when we daily follow to join Jesus in our own self-sacrifice, to live continually born again every day in the eternal life that begins now in Jesus, so we can be spiritually in Jesus who is now in heaven in the Father, by being where Jesus was when He said for us to be “where I am”, as explained above, spiritually in His Father in heaven while a man on earth with the Father’s Spirit in Him doing and saying what Jesus did and said on earth, when we daily seek in each, our own life on earth to glorify the Father in the Son in our self-sacrifice of all that is in us that opposes life in His Spirit, for both His sake and the sake of the gospel, so the world will know the gospel, good news that God sent Him to earth, and loves all of us repentant believers for sacrificing every sinful conceit in each, our own heart, that would otherwise separate us from all, one another repentant believers who love and forgive one another, in all Christian denominations and faith groups, in the one body of Christ composed of all those who live regenerated in the same one faith in the name of Jesus for repentance and forgiveness of our sins.
“23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” (Lu 9:23-25 NIV)
“33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." 34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.” (Mr 8:33-35 NIV)
“"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.” (Joh 17:24 NIV)
“22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” (Joh 17:22-23 NIV)
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.” (Joh 14:13 NIV)

Father, please lead people who look to Jesus in prayer here to join our prayer group, by becoming a member and posting a prayer for their healing to the glory of God in the name of Jesus, so we can pray with them united in His name such that includes our unity in the gospel that God's self-sacrificial love and holiness is freely given to all repentant believers who love God, and who also love and forgive one another, in every Christian denomination and Christian faith group, in our simple, shared, one faith in His name for repentance and forgiveness of our sins.

Show repentant believers that in short, if they can agree in this kind of Christian unity of all in His name and gospel according to these scriptures, in the holiness and love God gives to all repentant believers the same, then we know the Lord has much more in store for them so they can continue to bless the body of Christ for many years to come in sharing this truth to help make us all one in His Spirit, as He most gladly works with and by their doctors for their miracle healing, and for any other healing we may ask for in His name in the future, by the glory God gave Jesus, and Jesus already gave to us, to make us all one in one Spirit in His name, as the Father and Jesus are one Spirit living in us, in God's gift of His holiness and His self-sacrificial love for all repentant believers.

Give all who seek you, here, Father, to be blessed and healed completely in each, our body, heart, soul, and mind, and as we turn to you in daily repentance of all that would separate us from you and from one another, strengthen us for many years of work ahead in your kingdom where we all obey your commands as King in our heart, for all we do and will do, that all mutually loving, repentant and regenerated believers may be one in the Spirit that God sends to live in all of us in the name of Jesus.


In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

the world." (Joh 17:24 AV)

With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. (Ephesians 1:8b-10 NRSV)

"...in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:" (Eph 1:8b-10 AV

Dimension of Unity Part Two


Father we come in faith and love
by the blood of Christ into the very throne room of God, we believe in
God, we believe in the Father, we believe in the Son, we believe in the
Holy Spirit, the Trinity is one in our hearts, by faith, we pray today for
unity in the church around the world, and we pray prayers for the Body of
Christ.

"1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and
the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with
me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be
hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne
was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne." (Re 4:1-2 AV)


We come up here; we come by faith into the Revelation 4:1
Throne Room, we come with pure hearts, our hearts are pure by faith in
Christ and the Blood of Christ, we receive by faith the presence of the
Father, we see by faith our Lord Jesus Christ seated at the Right Hand of
the Father, we receive the prayers of our High Priest, by faith we see the
seven lamps of burning fire before the Throne of God, which is the Holy
Spirit. We pray for the outpouring of the Seven Spirits of God. The Throne
is in the Throne room in Heaven, and the Throne is in the heart of the
believe by the Blood of Christ, and the Holy Spirit who dwells I our
hearts by faith.

"2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body,
I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man,
(whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter." (2Co 12:2-4 AV)


We by faith see the church in the Third Heaven before the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; we see the church in mature union,
unity, oneness, revelation, revival, and the manifestations of the Holy
Spirit. We receive this mature union into our hearts, into the church
around the world, for the Throne Room is in the Third Heaven, and is in
our hearts by faith, therefore unity is in our hearts, and from our hearts
we release the river of unity to all believers in the church around the
world.

"And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by
faith." (Ac 15:9 AV)


There is a holy gathering happening now, agreement in the
Trinity, agreement in the Blood of Christ, agreement too in the Word of
God, agreement in the Holy Spirit, abounding in love, and Worshiping the
Lord in unity, in this place of holy fire, of God's divine grace, of the
beginning of revival, and restoration of revival, unity is growing, some
may not come into unity for reasons of sin of their tongues, but we
forgive, and we use our tongue to bless and to love one another, and we
pray for our hearts to let the river of unity and love flow to all
believers in the church around the world.

We speak grace, grace to
revival, we speak grace, grace to the restoration of revival we speak
grace, grace to beginning of revival, and we speak grace, grace to
revival, for from revival we pray let unity come forth.

"Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings,
[crying], Grace, grace unto it." (Zec 4:7 AV)

"And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders
rejected is become the head of the corner:" (Mr 12:10 AV)


In certain cities around the world, where believers and spiritual leaders
are coming together to see their cities change, and to see revival come,
they come into apostolic unity, they begin to pray with apostolic vision,
they begin to pray, worship and prophesy according to the Heart of the
Father, and through the test of time our love and unity abound in hearts
alike throughout these beginning cities, and we see the arising unity of
the city church, and from hearts before the Throne Room, and before one
another, we release from our hearts rivers of unity and love to flow to
the church around the world.

>From the prayers of unity,
prayers of revivals, prayers of change, prayers of social transformation,
and prayers of the city church from two who love each other, come rivers
of unity and love to flow from the church around the world.

We speak grace, grace to the church around the world, we speak grace,
grace to the city church in every city, we speak grace, grace to the
rivers of unity and love that are beginning to flow.

From
those who pray prayers for unity, who pray prayers for the church, that
are faithful to pray for unity for months, weeks and years, we pray from
our hearts we release rivers of unity and love to flow to the church
around the world.

The rivers of unity are beginning, the
rivers of revival are beginning, and the rivers of divine changes are
beginning, this is the time that is the beginning of the coming to pass of
the prayers of unity, and the prayers of the Church has begun!

"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)

We pray in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

˜QUIET CALL' Basic Meditations for Prayers

Before reading this post, please first read the "Quiet Call" essay here in this same forum:

A Quiet Call to Christians

Day 1
"Our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:29).

Meditation
Here we meditate on the holiness and the power of God; we dare to expose ourselves to holy fear.
Holy fear has somewhat fallen out of fashion these days, and Christians are all the poorer for that. Certainly, we have the immense privilege of being able to approach God through Christ, but we must remember that this privilege is one that has been won for us by the blood of Jesus and that the God whom we approach is a God of holiness and might. We tremble at the power of atomic energy or of an exploding star. How much more should we tremble before the Creator of these things.
But we must also remember that God is all-holy and all-pure as well as all-powerful. We are impure, we are sinful. We cannot approach God in our sinful state any more than a snowflake can sink into a blast furnace. Before him, our greatest strength is pitiable weakness and our greatest good is as a filthy rag! Only by his grace are we not consumed utterly by his holy fire.

Pray that God will reveal something of his awe and purity to our hearts this day, that we better understand who he is and who we are.


Day 2
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

Meditation
The first part of this meditation shows us the way to the God who is a consuming fire, and the Way is Jesus. In Jesus, the Fire wears a human body. Through Jesus and only through Jesus can we approach the Unapproachable and through Jesus alone, Almighty God comes down to us, not in fire and wrath, but in the Person of a divine Human Being inviting us to come into a personal loving relationship with Him!
Jesus is the Way ... the way through whom each individual human being can reach up to God and through whom God reaches down to each of us.
He is the truth ... the truth about what God is and what man ought to be and can be through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
And He is the life ... the Life of Deity manifested in human form so that human life may be transformed and partake of the Divine Nature in and through Him.

Pray that our hearts are enlightened to Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life.


Day 3
"Jesus is Lord"

Meditation
This is, or ought to be, our response to this revelation of Jesus. It focuses upon the central core of Christian spirituality. It is the absolutely essential step that we all must take to become a true Christian.
But what does it mean - really mean - to accept Jesus as Lord?
It means that we accept him as the central authority of our lives. We make a definite commitment to live the kind of life which he desires of us and we both accept this and welcome the indwelling power of his Spirit who enables us to live in this way.
Acceptance of Jesus as Lord also implies belief in his divine and human natures; that he is truly God and truly Man. If he is Lord, he is also Saviour, but only as both Man and God can he be Saviour. As Man he lifts humanity up to God and as God he brings divinity down to Man.
We likewise note that Paul also says that no one can call Jesus "Lord" except he or she be moved by the Holy Spirit (1Cor, 12:3). Of course, this does not mean that no one can simply say "Jesus is Lord" without inspiration (a parrot could be taught to do this!) but, rather, no one can assert this with conviction. Asserting and truly believing that Jesus is Lord (which really means being a Christian) is not something that one can do "naturally". It is quite literally a divine miracle - dependent entirely upon the grace of God!
Once we accept him as Saviour and worship him as our God, his image becomes - as it were - stamped on a sensitised heart. Something inexpressible begins to happen in our lives; our existence has a new "feel" about it which (though very real) is not easy to pin down with words. A new hunger begins to appear; a new desire to really surrender more and more to Jesus and, paradoxically, the more we rise to this desire, the stronger it becomes. If this inner change truly appears and grows, we can say that we have truly accepted Jesus as Lord and our Christian life has begun.
As we meditate on the Lordship of Christ, keeping these thoughts in mind, we allow ourselves to experience an attitude of total and complete helplessness in the hands of Almighty God. We allow ourselves to feel the weight of our sin and how we are as filthy rags before the absolute purity of God. And yet, as we surrender to Him through our acceptance of the Lordship of Christ, He washes our sins away and looks upon us as pure with Christ's own purity!
We see Jesus as our life, our everything. We depend totally upon God to bring us to the point of acceptance of him. We abandon ourselves completely to God and to the moving of the Holy Spirit.

If we have not accepted Jesus as Lord of our life, we now face the greatest decision that we can ever make, either here or in Eternity, for our very condition in Eternity depends upon what we will decide. Shall we accept Jesus and enter into the family of God the Father, or shall we ignore or reject him and continue on a course that will one day bring us face to face (in full awareness of our sinfulness and impurity) with the God who is a consuming fire?
The choice is ours to make ... now.
If we have accepted Jesus as Lord, acknowledge that many times we have acted as though you had not accepted him and ask God to forgive and strengthen us in our continuing commitment.


Day 4
"you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." (1 Corinthians 12:27).

Meditation
As the previous meditation concentrated upon the individual's relationship with God through Christ, so this concentrates upon the life of the believer as a part of the corporate Body of Christ. All who are members of the church are "organs" in the Body by and through which Christ has chosen to be active in the world today.
In our meditation, we remember that the one divine life - the Holy Spirit - inspires and guides each member of the Body and that, through each being united with the Holy Spirit, we are also united with one another.
We remember that as we yield our personal and self-centred lives and wills to Jesus - as we increasingly allow him to be the one true Lord of our lives - we yield our personal life to the life of the Body. We yield to Jesus as Lord and Head of the church as well as to Jesus the Lord of our individual lives.
We seek this deepest life within us - a life manifested through all desires to surrender to Christ and to follow him. We dwell upon these spiritual desires and let all other desires fall away from us. We allow ourselves to be drawn increasingly into the life of the group and, through the group, into the life of the Body of Christ. As each of us allows himself/herself to be drawn into a deepening experience of the Body and increasingly live for the Body through his/her role within it, so the Body itself increasingly functions as the Body of Christ. It comes under increasing control of the Head as each of its members more fully yields to the Divine Mind within the Body ... the Holy Spirit.
This deeper inner commitment will show itself in practical terms as increasing involvement, increasing interest and increasing desire for involvement in church life and witness. It will also manifest as a growing love for other Christians ... including those of different persuasions, temperament or background.

Pray for a growing awareness of being a member of the corporate Body of Christ in the world.

Day 5
"[you] ... have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all (Colossians 3: 10-11).
"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptised into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:26-28).

Meditation
In this meditation, we are shown three classes of division between people and we are assured that they are overcome amongst Christians through mutual unity within the Body.
One division is social. Paul exemplifies this by "slave and free", but today we could also add "employer and employee", "politically conservative and politically liberal", "professional person and manual labourer" and so forth. Think about this. The differences that cause so much division both within society at large and, all too frequently, at a personal level, melt away as we become increasingly aware of the "Body unity". In other words, as we experience fellowship at this deep level, we increasingly see one another as Christians first and primarily. The tags which society may place upon us become decreasingly important.
Another might be called divinely instituted if we bear in mind that it was actually the sin of humanity that made it necessary in the first place. It is the division of Jew (the chosen of God) and gentile or heathen (Paul exemplifies this as "Greek"). What Paul is saying is that both Jew and gentile must leave behind their former position ... the gentile "comes in from the cold", from beyond the people of God, and is brought into union within the Body, but the Jew also must renounce any thought that he is right with God simply by virtue of birth within the Jewish nation. Both groups are now united in being equally in need of Christ and individuals from each group can find fellowship together if they turn away from their past condition and become united in the Body.
Thirdly, membership of the Body transcends natural divisions, eg sexual (male and female) and racial (Greek, barbarian, Scythian). Such natural differences include Asian and Caucasian, black and white and all of the many innate differences between people and groups of people that can so often be exaggerated into matters of real significance. But these differences too melt away into the unity that exists between true Christians.
We meditate on this fact and allow the true enormity of it to become realised in our minds.
With this meditation we touch the very heart of the unity that alone is adequate to bring Christians of different theological and denominational differences into true unity of spirit. We meditate on this fact.
But the impact of these passages goes beyond church unity in the usual sense. We imagine the world as it would be if all its people fulfilled the potential for which they were created and truly became parts of the Body. Imagine the ideal; all divisions transcended by the unity of Spirit knitting all parts of the Body together as all people reflected in their lives the Glory of God!

Pray that the Holy Spirit stirs up within us an overwhelming desire to see the Body of Christ in this world truly Spirit-filled and united, having one Mind and one Spirit – the Mind and Spirit of Christ himself – totally surrendered to God the Father and revealing his glory to the world.

Heavenly Father,

Help us repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving, sisters and brothers in Christ, all of whom believe in the name of Jesus for repentance and forgiveness of sins paid for by His blood, receiving as much forgiveness, as much we forgive all in the world who sin against us, so help us to all pray here together in the faith only You can give us, Father, by hearing Your Holy Spirit in us lead each of us as You speak directly to each of us there in our hearts, leading us ever further into all truth in Jesus by calling to our remembrance, again and again, all the words Jesus spoke to those who believe in His name as Jesus said to believe in it: for repentance and forgiveness of sins.

the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name:
“But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” (Joh 14:26 NIV)

Give your Holy Spirit, whom you send to live in us in the name of Jesus, to remind us Jesus said the one thing that would always be preached, and therefor believed, in order for us to be in the name of Jesus, as taught first in Jerusalem, then throughout the world, regardless of Christian denomination or Christian faith group, is for us all to live with faith in the name of Jesus that God sent Him here to earth to give us repentance and forgiveness of sins by His perfect life given on the cross for our sins, so He could be resurrected to life and be given all authority in heaven and earth seated at the right hand of our Father in heaven, fulfilling all of God’s promises that Jesus would receive the Holy Spirit to be poured out to all of His children in Christ, giving us to begin our eternal life now in this world in the present knowledge of you, Father, in the Christ, Jesus, in the offer of repentance and forgiveness of sins you sent Him here to give us, so your Holy Spirit could live in us here, and lead us ever more into all truth in Jesus.

repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name:
“45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."” (Lu 24:45-49 NIV)

the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name:
“But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” (Joh 14:26 NIV)

you know him, for he...will be in you:
“16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor to be with you for ever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” (Joh 14:16-17 NIV)

this is eternal life: that they may know you:
“2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (Joh 17:2-3 NIV)

when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth:
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” (Joh 16:13 NIV)

Heavenly Father, give your Holy Spirit of Truth in our hearts to remind us of what He hears in all the words that Jesus spoke in the Bible, trying to get us to hear Him tell us about His oneness with God when He was a man in this life. Remind us in His words how Jesus shows us by the example of His own life in this world how we can also be one with our Father in Heaven now in this life the same way Jesus was, just as Jesus and you, Father, were one in your self-sacrificial love for the world to offer us all in the words of Jesus, to "Repent and believe the good news", which speaks of your self-sacrificial love that we believers also join as one with you and Jesus in, when we truly learn to obey the two most important commands of Jesus that fulfilled both the first and second most important commandments of the old law, so that all things you intend by your commands, Father, will be accomplished on this earth.

“44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Lu 24:44-47 AV)
“17 ¶ "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” (Mt 5:17-18 NivUS)
“23 By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. 24 They will say of me, ’In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’" All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame. 25 But in the LORD all the descendants of Israel will be found righteous and will exult.” (Isa 45:23-25 NivUS)
“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Ga 3:29 NivUS)
“This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.” (Eph 3:6 NivUS)
“10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isa 55:10-11 NivUS)

Remind us of the two most important commands of Jesus commanding us to show our greatest love for God by our love for one another sisters and brothers in Christ, including all, even the least, among all repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving believers in the name of Jesus, in all Christian faith groups; and to secondly show our love for God in our obedience to Him by our similar, second greatest love, by God's second greatest commandment spoken by Jesus, to have love for all our unbelieving neighbors and even enemies in this world, so you can show all in the world your glory, Father, in the name of Jesus, to be seen in the body of Christ on earth today gathering together as one in Jesus' name, so the world will know you sent Jesus to give to "whosoever believeth", credit for your own holiness and inheritance that Jesus earned for us believers, which we could never earn for ourselves, but which you freely give us to live in now and forever, united with each other and with you, Father, as Jesus and you are one, in your one Spirit who is gathering all your sheep on this earth, Father, into your one flock, protected now and forever from all evil, in the name of Jesus.

“16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (Joh 3:16-17 AV)
“I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name —  the name you gave me —  so that they may be one as we are one.” (Joh 17:11 NivUS)
“21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:” (Joh 17:21-22 NivUS)
“27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one."” (Joh 10:27-30 NivUS)

Remind us in the words of Jesus, Holy Spirit, where Jesus said He was when Jesus was talking about His oneness with the Father in this life, when He said "where I am", which is where He was when He walked the earth as that man, who already was the one in whom God fully dwells; where Jesus said He was, saying He was at the same time already in His Father in heaven spiritually, in God’s one Spirit and purpose for the whole world, to gather all the Father's mutually loving and forgiving, repentant sheep the Father gave Him, into one flock in the name of Jesus, with His Father in Heaven at the same time spiritually in Jesus on earth doing His work and saying His words, united in the self-sacrificial love of the One, Good Shepherd.

I am in the Father:
“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.” (Joh 14:10 NIV)
“14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” (Joh 10:14-16 NIV)

Merciful Father, let the Holy Spirit you send to live in our hearts in the name of Jesus remind us that the words of Jesus were primarily focused on giving that same Spirit to live in us who would believe it so, trying to convince us that faith in the name of Jesus gives us every means of obeying and becoming one with Jesus spiritually in us on earth, and us spiritually in Jesus now in heaven in you, Father, letting the Spirit of your self-sacrificial love and your holiness, that you send in Jesus' name to live in our hearts, lead each of us here on earth ever further into all truth in Jesus, but with each of us already credited with the holiness and inheritance of Jesus, the perfect man on earth, who was already one with the Father at that time He lived here: in the one Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd, who gathers into God's one flock, all sheep who will hear and come to that Shepherd calling to them to "Repent and believe the good news".

Let your Spirit remind us to hear the One, Good Shepherd calling His sheep to repentance in one flock, calling first from the voice of Jesus, Himself; then calling from His apostles and first disciples in the body of Christ; and now calling from us who believe their message and who are the body of Christ on earth today, still calling out to the unbelieving world; still working together as one in your holiness and self-sacrificial love you freely give us all, working as one to help you, Father, to gather into one flock all your sheep from the world who are not yet in your pen, but are willing to recognize and come in repentance to the voice of the One, Good Shepherd now beckoning from the body of Christ to join us; in the body and flock that now includes all mutually forgiving and self-sacrificially loving, repentant sheep who live in faith of the name of Jesus for His blood that bought for us His unearned gift of credit for His own righteousness and inheritance to live in, first now on earth, and into eternity.

you will see me... you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you...Whoever has my commands and obeys them…I too will love him and show myself to him:
“18 ¶ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me any more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."” (Joh 14:18-21 NIV)

repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name:
“and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Lu 24:47 NIV)

receive one such little child in my name receiveth me…one of these little ones which believe in me:
“5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Mt 18:5-6 AV)

ask in my name…I will do it:
“13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. 15 ¶ "If you love me, you will obey what I command.” (Joh 14:13-15 NIV)

you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you:
“On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” (Joh 14:20 NIV)

I am the good shepherd…as the Father knows me and I know the Father…I lay down my life for the sheep… other sheep that are not of this sheep pen…I must bring them also… one flock…one shepherd…I and the Father are one:
“14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” (Joh 10:14-16 NIV)
“"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"” (Mr 1:15 NivUS)
“27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one."” (Joh 10:27-30 NivUS)

Remind us, Holy Spirit, of Jesus' words in His new command, that when we believers enter that oneness in the flock gathered in that Good Shepherd Spirit of loving self-sacrifice for all God's sheep, as Jesus and the Father are one, including every single repentant, mutually loving and forgiving, believer in the name of Jesus for repentance and forgiveness of sins, regardless of which Christian denomination or Christian faith group they belong to, by doing so we obey the first most important commandment of the old law, to love God with everything we have and are, the way Jesus said for us to obey it, in the way He commanded the law to be fulfilled in our commanded love for God, by loving all, one another believers with our own lives laid down for all of them, as Jesus loved us all with His life laid down.

The most important one… Love the Lord your God with all your heart…soul…mind…strength:
“28 ¶ One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" 29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’” (Mr 12:28-30 NIV)

I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them:
“17 ¶ "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” (Mt 5:17-18 NIV)

Whoever loves God must also love his brother:
“And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1Jo 4:21 NIV)

Love each other as I have loved you… that he lay down his life:
“12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (Joh 15:12-13 NIV)

reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life:
“The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life— only to take it up again.” (Joh 10:17 NIV)

you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me
“I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” (Joh 17:23 NIV)

Our dear, loving Father, let your Spirit in our hearts remind us of the words Jesus spoke telling us that our obedience in the way Jesus fulfilled the first most important commandment of the old law with His new command, now enables us and the world to see your glory to make us one in our obedience to the second commandment of the old law as Jesus fulfilled it with His own command to include loving even our enemies in this world.

Give your Spirit to remind us where Jesus said that in our obedience in that way to the first commandment, to love you by loving all repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving believers with your same, self-sacrificial love as you and Jesus loved us, Father, as Jesus said to obey your first commandment, which produces in us that unity in the one Spirit in which both you, Father, and Jesus are one in the One, Good Shepherd who lays His life down to gather and protect all who will hear and come to the voice of the One, Good Shepherd calling them into your one flock, then our unity in your One Spirit gives your glory to be seen by both us believers and the world; the glory Jesus said He already gave us when He was here to make us one in His and His Father's One Spirit, which is the same glory you gave Jesus on Earth to glorify the Father in the name of Jesus so the world of our neighbors and enemies have reason to believe God really did send Jesus here to do and say God's works and words to gather all us believers in one flock in His name.

“22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24 ¶ "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25 "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."” (Joh 17:22-26 NivUS)
“Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”” (Joh 11:40 NKJV)
“13 “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 “If you ask anything in My name, I will do [it].” (Joh 14:13-14 NKJV)

So our obedience to that first most important command to love all believers in every Christian faith group the world over, then in turn, becomes the ultimate form of our obedience to the second commandment of the old law as Jesus said to obey it, in the way Jesus fulfilled it with His own command to include all our neighbors, even our enemies, in our love as much as we love ourselves.

We believers who love all our neighbors and enemies in this world love them enough to let all in the world see the best good news we could possibly give to the world, in the truth of the words spoken by Jesus which we obey to make us one in God's self-sacrificial love, in spiritual unity among all of God's children in Christ, to be seen now in the body of Christ united on earth today in our agreement in our shared belief in the gospel, in which we share alike among ourselves and now want most to share with the world the very good news: that you sent Jesus to the world to speak your words, Father, and to obey your command to lay down His life in this world to pay for our sins, so Jesus could take His life up again, to ascend to all power in Heaven and Earth, so that the all powerful Jesus is now offering your one Spirit to live in anyone who will live with faith in the name of Jesus for repentance and forgiveness of our sins, as much as we forgive all who sin against us, in your forgiveness paid for by your loving self-sacrifice, sweet Father, of your perfect Son, Jesus, for us who would believe it to be so for all of us who are in the name of Jesus the same way, and for all of us who are in the name of Jesus to the same extent, in all Christian denominations and Christian faith groups.

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Mt 7:12 NivUS)

“44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."” (Lu 24:44-49 NivUS)

“46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. 48 Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all —  he is the greatest."” (Lu 9:46-48 NivUS)

“1 ¶ At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 ¶ Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.” (Mt 18:1-9 AV)

“10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. 11 12 "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.” (Mt 18:10-14 NivUS)

Father, because you so loved the world you gave Jesus to die for us all, let the Holy Spirit remind us about the words Jesus spoke to fulfill your second most important commandment, that in order for repentance and forgiveness of our sins to be preached in the name of Jesus to all nations, meaning to all people, including our enemies, Jesus said we are to love all our neighbors in this world as ourselves, including all believers, all unbelievers, all sinners, and now according to Jesus, to love even our enemies, doing love to even our enemies as we would have them do to us.

Let your Spirit give us believers to see in the words of Jesus that we show the world that our love is your love for all unbelievers in the world, in the most important way we would want God’s children to show us they love us if we were unknowing and unbelieving enemies of God in their place, which is by letting God show, to both us believers and the world, His promised and prayed-for glory Jesus said the Father gave Jesus and Jesus gave us, for the purpose that we may be one as He and the Father are one in the one Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd, in unity now with that same Spirit, by our lives laid down for one another in helping gather all God’s sheep, all of whom know the One, Good Shepherd’s voice calling from the body of Christ on earth today in whose Spirit we are one, and all of whom, if they are God’s sheep given to Jesus, will hear the gospel that God sent Jesus to give anyone who wants it: the good news that repentance and forgiveness of sins is available to any and all, in the believing and the trying to live, in faith of the fact that His blood bought for us His unearned gift of credit for His own righteousness and inheritance to live in, first now on earth, and into eternity, together with any and all repentant, mutually loving and forgiving believers, regardless of Christian denomination or Christian faith group.

Love your neighbour as yourself:
“The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these."” (Mr 12:31 NIV)

I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them:
“17 ¶ "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law .” (Mt 5:17-18 NIV)

Love your neighbour and…love your enemies:
“43 ¶ "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Mt 5:43-45 NIV)

My sheep listen to my voice...they follow me...My Father...has given them to me...I and the Father are one:
“27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no-one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no-one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one."” (Joh 10:27-30 NIV)

I am in the Father:
“Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.” (Joh 14:10 NIV)

you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you:
“On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” (Joh 14:20 NIV)

On that day by your unlimited grace, our sweet, merciful Father, we know we are in you, Father, in the same place your Son, the man, Jesus, was in when He said, "I am in the Father", which is where we are on that very day when we now know we are already spiritually in Jesus who is there in Heaven in you, Father, because we are one in the same purpose you and Jesus have there of gathering all your sheep to live forever with you in heaven.

And at that same time we are spiritually in you in Heaven, we know Jesus is also now spiritually in each of us here on earth, doing our works and saying our words, in those things which we do and say that we know you said are most important to you for us to live by in your first and second most important commands now fulfilled by the command(s) of Jesus, in what we do and say in this life to help you and Jesus, Father, united as one with you both in one Spirit of God, in the the One Good Shepherd, to help in your herding work to gather all repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving believers into your one flock, including even the littlest believer who just believes in the name of Jesus for repentance and forgiveness of sins as much as we forgive all who sin against us, receiving them and accepting them with us into your flock right where they are, regardless of which Christian denomination or faith group they are in, so that in accepting the least of these, including all these brethren of Jesus, we receive Jesus spiritually here with us, and in each of us all as well, in your one flock gathering in the name of Jesus, which is the one flock of us who all agree together we feed on all the words God spoke for us to live by which we all hear in the voice of Jesus of Nazareth as recorded in the Bible.

Thanks for your Holy Spirit showing us the words that Jesus spoke to convince us that day happens, our dear Father, when we look in our hearts and realize the love we have for your Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd who lays down His life for all your sheep, who you sent to live here in our hearts in the name of Jesus, reveals Himself to us there in our hearts as being the same, one Spirit as in both Jesus and in you, Father. And we thank you, Father for showing us your one, Holy Spirit in us, is your one Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all your repentant sheep, who is leading us to both have understanding of your most important commands, and to show our love for you by starting to obey your first and second most important commands which together sum up all the law and the prophets.
“23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. 25 ¶ "All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” (Joh 14:23-26 NivUS)
“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."” (Joh 14:21 NivUS)
“If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."” (Joh 14:7 NivUS)

Thanks for showing yourself in Heaven to us, Father, giving us to see you in Jesus showing Himself to us on earth, in your self-sacrificial love for the world, showing us how we know we both have your commands and obey them, Father, for how we are to love all in obeying your two most important commands Jesus gave us, and so we know when we obey them, we are now in Jesus who is in you in Heaven, and Jesus is in us here on earth, because we look in our own hearts and know we are keeping these most important words of the commands of Jesus for how to love you, and how to love all our sisters and brothers in Christ, and how to love our unbelieving neighbors and enemies in the world, so keeping your words remaining obeyed in our hearts, we know we get what we pray for in the name of Jesus, to glorify you, Father, in the name of the Son.

“7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” (Joh 15:7-8 NivUS)

“12 ¶ I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. 15 ¶ "If you love me, you will obey what I command.” (Joh 14:12-15 NivUS)

Thanks for giving the Holy Spirit to lead us into the truth that these are the two commands we now obey most importantly to show our love for you, Father, to first love you by loving all repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving believers with our lives in this world laid down for them, as both you and Jesus loved us, so that the sinful, unbelieving world will also see you offer them your love the same way, too, including all our enemies whom we now also forgive and love as much as we love ourselves, wanting the world to see God loves them the same as He loves us all in Jesus, all of us together, with and in Jesus on earth offering to everyone in the world the same, good news, Father: that you sent Jesus to give us credit for His own holiness and inheritance which we could never earn for ourselves, for us all to live in, starting now in this life and lasting forever into the next, beginning now in the same eternal life that is received by all of us the same way, by simply living in faith of His name for the gift Jesus bought us all with His blood, of repentance and forgiveness of sin as much as we forgive all who sin against us.

“18 ¶ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me any more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."” (Joh 14:18-21 NIV)

let the world know that you sent me…I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory:
“22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24 ¶ "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.” (Joh 17:22-24 NIV)

if you believed, you would see the glory of God:
“Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"” (Joh 11:40 NIV)

anyone who has faith…ask in my name…I will do it…love me…obey what I command:
“12 ¶ I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. 15 ¶ "If you love me, you will obey what I command.” (Joh 14:12-15 NIV)

“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."” (Joh 14:21 NivUS)

“And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.” (Mt 18:5 AV)

“14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit —  fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.” (Joh 15:14-17 NivUS)

“34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."” (Joh 13:34-35 NivUS)

“12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.” (Joh 15:12-14 NivUS)


Father in Heaven, give your Holy Spirit you send in the name of Jesus to live in our hearts, to lead us now to obey your two most important commands of the old Law in the way Jesus fulfilled them, in His commands to us for how to obey them until everything is accomplished on this earth, causing us now to unite on earth in your holiness and your selfless love that you and Jesus have, and now we believers have the same way for all one another believers, united in your holiness and love we can never earn which you freely give to every repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving believer in the name of Jesus, right where they are, within every Christian denomination and faith group, receiving in our hearts as our own brothers and sisters in Christ, every little believer who believes in Jesus' name for repentance and forgiveness of sins, so we receive Jesus as one together with us now in God's one Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd, as you, sweet Father, and dear Jesus are both one in your holiness and self-sacrificial love, in which you sent Jesus to gather every little believer on earth with us into this, your one flock, of your equally credited holy and equally loved, repentant sheep, to live our lives in the joy of knowing we are God's own children loved and protected together in the name of Jesus, rejoicing as one in the gospel, good news: that in your Spirit which you sent Jesus to show us and let live in our hearts, we are given to start now in this life and and continue forever, to live together in the righteousness and inheritance of the Son, bought for us by His blood you paid for us all to make us one in your Spirit in the name of Jesus, Amen.

(Joh 3:14-15 AV)

“whosoever believeth”
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” (Joh 3:16 AV)

“whosoever believeth”
“Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth
not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me
seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in
darkness.” (Joh 12:44-46 AV)

“whosoever believeth”
“As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone
and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall
not be ashamed.” (Ro 9:33 AV)

“whosoever believeth”
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the
scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be

call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of
the Lord shall be saved.” (Ro 10:10-13 AV)

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)

“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)

with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which
thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath
not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known
that thou hast sent me. 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 17:24-26

Elvis Iverson

I pray that the Grace and Peace of Jesus be with all of you on the Spiritual Christian Unity Prayer Group Forums.

In this, my first post, I pray that the Holy Spirit of Eternal Divine Love will dwell richly with all of God the Father's adopted children in Christ Jesus, and move their hearts to long for unity in the one Family and Body of Jesus Christ, "so that the world may believe," as Our Lord Jesus prayed (John 17:21-23).

As I have perceived a calling on my heart to, as a member of the Body of Christ, devote my life towards rebuilding that lost Christian unity which Jesus prayed for, I ask all of you, my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, to pray for me that God gives me wisdom and courage in this work, and provision to continue in it.

As I have recently launched the Christian Unity in Diversity Central website (http://christian-unity-in-diversity.ourchur.ch/)as an instrument for assisting in the rebuilding of Christian unity in diversity, I ask my brothers and sisters in Jesus on this Forum, who apparently share my hunger for Christian unity in God's adopted Family the Church for the world's sake, to pray for the success of this new ministry of Christian education, growth in spiritual maturity in love, and unity "so that the world may believe."

I am very much aware that any Christian ministry can only be successful not as the work of one Christian but as a movement of the Body of Christ the Church united in prayer to the Divine Holy Trinity of Eternal Love. I am thrilled that this Spiritual Christian Unity website and Forum exists already, having a similar calling to my own, a similar burden for unity in the Body of Christ the Church "so that the world may believe" in Christ our Head when it sees the divine love evident between us, the members of His Body. So I ask all of you, my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, His Father, and His Holy Spirit of Love, to unite with me in prayer for the success of this new ministry of unity and of education in the Eternal Love of the Holy Trinity into whose Eternal Family we have been adopted through Jesus Christ the only-begotten Son of the Father, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of our adoption. This ministry I have started will never be successful in its mission of assisting Christian unity "so that the world may believe" unless it is not my work, but the work of the Holy Spirit supported by the Body of Christ united in prayer, and I thank you all for your prayers as my fellow members of the Body of Christ.

Lord of Love, hear this prayer of your Family and your Body, and grant our petition.

AMEN.

hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto
our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for
had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord
of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But
God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

loved you.” (Joh 15:12 AV)

"he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will
of God”
“But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with
patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we
ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the
hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he
maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of
God. And we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who are the called according to
his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that
he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (Ro 8:25-29
AV)

"should be holy and without blame before him in
love...according to the good pleasure of his will”
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the
adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according
to the good pleasure of his will,” (Eph 1:4-5 AV)

“according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself...gather together in one all things in Christ”
“Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he
might gather together in one all things in Christ, both
which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”
(Eph 1:9-10 AV)

his law”
“But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of
them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses:
they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and
none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this?
who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave
Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the
LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not
walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.”
(Isa 42:22-24 AV)

“A new commandment…love one another...By this shall all men
know”

the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world”

God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby
know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath
given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that
the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.”
(1Jo 4:12-14 AV)

of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an
Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.”

and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall
not be ashamed.” (Ro 9:33 AV)

Zion appeareth before God.” (Ps 84:7 AV)

Jerusalem:” (Isa 4:3 AV)

increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
(Eph 4:16 AV)

knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” (Eph 4:13

mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ”

with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which
thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world.” (Joh 17:24 AV)

“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again.” (Joh 10:17 AV)

“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you…If ye keep
my commandments”
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another”
“your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of
the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I
command you, that ye love one another”
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue
ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in
my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and
abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that
my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
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. Ye are my friends, if ye
do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
but I have called you friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should
remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my
name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that
ye love one another.” (Joh 15:9-17 AV)

he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my
name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”
(Joh 16:23-24 AV)

“Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” (Joh
11:40 AV)

“upon all the glory shall be a defence”
“And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount
Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and
the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the
glory shall be a defence.” (Isa 4:5 AV)

“glory of the LORD will protect you from behind”

wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work
for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains
that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and
give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need
them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

Please note the following is an excerpt from “Jesus’ Prayer from A to Z”, of which I’m Editor.

-Y-


Yielded To One Another, by Yawberg, Bob


Prayer, heartfelt and unhindered, crosses many barriers, including the racial chasm in the church. Many years ago, a black man and his wife were called to Ft. Wayne, Indiana to start an inner city ministry. My experience with other races was very limited, having recently moved from a rural community. This was about to change.

Soon after Sam Winger’s arrival, we stood on a downtown street corner praying for one another. Sam began, “Lord, if someone talks about Bob, they are talking about Sam.” And I prayed likewise, “Lord, if someone is talking about Sam, they are talking about Bob.” At the time, neither of us realized where that prayer would take us. Three years later, a fellow pastor came to Sam making accusations against me. Sam simply asked, “Have you talked to Bob?” There was hesitation, “Well, no.” My newfound brother in Christ replied, “I have nothing to say until you talk to Bob and get your answer from him.” As a result, we experienced a modern day answer to Christ’s prayer of reconciliation, that they may all be one... that the world may believe that Thou didst send me. (John 17:21)

Another time, our congregation cried out to the Lord on behalf of a broken and needy inner-city church. Their pastor had shot and killed his wife, then turned the gun on himself, taking his own life. We read the tragic story in our local newspaper. The following Sunday I led our body in prayer, asking the Lord’s healing upon this grieving people. We also prayed for them to find a new pastor. After prayer, our people wrote personal prayer messages (Prayer-A-Grams) to our brothers and sisters in that congregation, in the spirit of the Apostle Paul’s word: Bear one another’s burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)

Months later at an area pastors’ gathering, a huge black man introduced himself to me as Pastor Mike Nickelson. When he heard my name and the church I pastored, he lifted me off my feet in a bear hug. “Pastor Bob, you are the church that prayed me into Ft. Wayne!” Mike and I began meeting to pray and seek the Lord together. Soon, he invited me to preach at Mt. Calvary Baptist. The same morning, I invited him to preach at Broadway Christian. That was the beginning of a long-standing relationship of trust and love. He now refers to me as “Dad”.

When we pray, and act upon those prayers, we can expect results. Our Lord cares deeply for the broken, the grieving, and the forsaken who live not far from us. We have been divided by decades of color prejudice, separate neighborhoods, misunderstanding and fear. Not until I met and got to know two men of color, and prayed with them, did my vision and heart change. When love conquers pride and prejudice in answer to our Lord’s prayer, the unchurched will see something that will draw them to Christ and his Body on earth. Prayer changes things, especially the hearts of those who do the praying!

“May it be the real I who speaks; may it be the real Thou that I speak to.”
- C. S. Lewis

The Jesus Prayer: Jesus, may all that is in you flow into me. May your body and blood be my food and drink. May your passion and death be my strength and life. Jesus, with you by my side enough has been given. May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross. Let me not run from the love which you offer. But hold me safe from the forces of evil. On each of my dyings shed your light and your love. Keep calling to me until that day comes when, with your saints, I may praise you forever. Amen


Thank You, Lord, for Your precious presence, and
for that faithful cloud of witnesses gone before,
in whose footsteps I follow in this day of work: For those first apostles and prophets,
For evangelists and pastor-teachers, For selfless saints and suffering martyrs, For all the holy and humble of heart, and
For Your unseen helping Hosts ministering to all who are inheritors of salvation.
I rejoice in Your great Name that
links heaven and earth in one great family. I praise You for the privilege to be called,
in company with them, to be part of Christ’s Church.
May the awareness of this sacred fellowship go with me wherever I am,
Preserving my identity in the crowd, Providing solidarity when in solitary places, Protecting me in trials and tests, and
Producing in me the fruit of love and good works.
- TEM


How may an awareness of those who have come before us in the Body of Christ strengthen the fulfillment of our role in this time and place?


Pray for…Youth (children, babies to college)/ Youth workers…

…Believers in Yemen and the former
Yugoslavia

Our Father in heaven,

We praise you, thank you, and give you all glory for giving us all eternal life in your Spirit you give to live in us in the name of Jesus of Nazareth , our only Christ and Savior, whom we can never earn or deserve, but whose Spirit living in us is God's own holiness and God's own love for all repentant believers.

We pray, Lord, for you to bless with success in every way the godly efforts to seek Christian unity in your name, at tomorrow's event called "Together 2016",
@JesusIsTheReset, July 16, 2016 // National Mall // Where all repentant believers are invited to gather as one in the name of Jesus, asking Jesus to reset our generation. The world sees division; we can change that. #JesusChangesEverything

Together 2016 is the day a generation will meet on the National Mall to come together around Jesus in prayer, worship, and a call for catalytic change to reset our lives, our nation, and our generation.

We pray, Lord, you give all participants at 2016 to know that Christian unity is unity in God's one, eternal self-sacrificial Spirit of love for all repentant believers, Whom we only know because we see that same Spirit of self-sacrificial love in Jesus, in his death and resurrection forever in all power in heaven and earth.

Give them all to know, Lord, for a fact that God's one, eternal Spirit of self-sacrificial love for whomever in the world will believe in Jesus, is in the Father, because Jesus says so. That's God's love for believers that existed before the world began, and remains into eternity.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (Joh 3:16 NIV)

Give them all to know, Lord, that same one, eternal Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all believers is in Jesus, Himself, because the Father commanded it so.
"No-one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." (Joh 10:18 NIV)

And most importantly for Christian unity in Jesus at the Together 2016 event, give them all to know that same one, eternal Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all believers in Jesus, is in all of us believers who love all other believers, because Jesus commanded it so.
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no-one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command." (Joh 15:12-14 NIV)
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'" (Mr 12:29-30 NIV)
"And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother." (1Jo 4:21 NIV)
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." (1Jo 3:16 NIV)

We pray, Lord, you give all participants at Together 2016 to know that in the Bible, the apostle John writes, that's how we know what love is, because we see God's self-sacrifice of His Son for us, so we know that's what kind of love His one, eternal Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all believers is. So loving all believers the same way He did, we know God lives in us and we live in Him, because He has given us His one Spirit of self-sacrificial love for all believers, making His love complete in us.
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No-one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit." (1Jo 4:10-13 NIV)

Give them all to know, Lord, that we can set our hearts at rest in God's presence as we pray before God having the sure and certain confidence we will receive what we ask because we believe on the name of God's Son, Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of our sins in repentance, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
“18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 19 This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence 20 ¶ whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. 23 ¶ And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.” (1Jo 3:18-23 NIV)

Give them all to see your glory, Lord, because the prayer of Jesus for Christian unity says we have been given the glory of God to work miracles to make us one in God allowing the world to know that God sent Jesus: because we are one in God's one Spirit of holiness and love for all believers, just as Jesus and the Father are one in that one Spirit of holiness and love for all believers.
“that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” (Joh 17:21 NIV)
“I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” (Joh 17:23 NIV)
“I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:” (Joh 17:22 NIV)

A QUIET ACTION CALL TO ALL CHRISTIANS!

The Gospel is not primarily a belief. It is an invitation. An invitation to meet and become an intimate friend with a Person who is both truly God and truly human and who gave his life so that we may live in the presence of God forever.

But Jesus is not just an historical figure; not even a unique Figure who performed something that nobody else could (his atoning death and resurrection). He is all of these, but he is also a very contemporary Person who stands before us now as a living figure. Beyond the Jesus of ancient history is the Jesus of the present moment; the Jesus who waits to come and dwell within our spirits and through his Holy Spirit transform us increasingly into his own image.

The Gospel is the good news that this miracle has been made possible by the atoning death and victorious resurrection of Jesus. It is also the good news that this same Jesus now waits for us to turn away from a self-centred life and toward him, by inviting him to come into our spirits in a real and vital way.

Christianity is not a religion.
It is a relationship.

A relationship between a man or woman and God in Jesus. A Christian is one who has Jesus spiritually within.

But this relationship with God is not something simply to be enjoyed by ourselves. We are saved and transformed, not simply that we may become holy people and go to Heaven when we die, but so that we may become parts of a community of people who are similarly being transformed inwardly and who, collectively, maintain the presence of Christ in the flesh within today's world. This company of genuine Christians, the church (not to be confused with any denomination, or even with the institutionalised church per se) is the Body of Christ today. In a very real sense, it is the continuation of the incarnation of Jesus down through history. Jesus Christ is the Head and the church is his Body; his corporate Body in the world. Through the church, God is involved in human society, just as Jesus was involved in human society. Society is influenced by God to the degree that all aspects of it are influenced by members of the church and to the degree that each of these church members is surrendered to the will of God. The healing of society and its transformation toward a holy and just community is, I believe, a consequence of the sanctification of the individual and the sanctifying influence of many sanctified individuals upon the broader world.

Nevertheless, the church can only be a unifying and transforming factor if it does not succumb to the divisions of human society itself. Alas, this is just what has happened. The church as a whole and the people who are its members have lost sight of the unifying vision of being the Body of Christ and have allowed the false gods of human society to usurp the place that belongs to Christ alone. Christian has become divided from Christian along the lines of race, politics, class (and sundry other "secular" divisions) as well as the peculiarly "religious" divisions of denomination, worship style, theological doctrine and so forth.

These become "gods" when they assume a greater importance than the simple but profound fact of belonging to Christ, being in him as part of his corporate Body and being indwelt by his Spirit.

All of these false gods must go. The church must spiritually unite, not necessarily by merging into a single denomination, but by awakening to a single vision ... the vision of itself as it ought to be; a vision of the church in all its sundry and diverse manifestations united in a higher unity as the Body of Christ, indwelt by the same Holy Spirit, with Christ alone as its Lord and Head. Differences (denominational and otherwise) cease to be causes of division and become manifestations of diversity within this larger unity. The church must awaken to the vision of itself as the New Jerusalem into which stream all the diverse strands of human society, merging there as the single citizenry of the Holy City. It must have the vision of this citizenry going forth into the world again, still being members of whatever race or faction they previously were, but now with this one great difference; that from henceforth they carry first and foremost the badge of a citizen of the Heavenly City. Ambassadors now of Heaven, being transformed inwardly by the continuing workings of the Holy Spirit, in the process of being moulded into the likeness of the Man from Heaven, they enter the world again, bringing with them the vision of humanity redeemed, of society transformed and of a world truly reflecting the qualities of heaven.

This is, unfortunately, not what we have today. But how do we get from today's church to the ideal? How can this great renewal occur? Is it just a dream?

I do not believe that it is just an unrealisable ideal. After all, Jesus taught his disciples to pray that the Father's will be done on earth as in Heaven. God's will is followed in Heaven totally, otherwise it would not be Heaven. And in praying what we have come to call the "Lord's Prayer", we are praying for the same to apply on earth as well. Surely Jesus would not have taught us to pray for something that would never come to pass!

Once the holiness of God is truly revealed to us, the full force of sin begins to be correctly appreciated.

A genuinely converted person feels inwardly drawn toward personal holiness. If one claims to have been converted and yet delights in some deliberate sin, something is seriously wrong. It is true that even a converted person will, at times, commit sin and it is true that Christians continue to struggle with sin, but it is not true that a genuine Christian can continue to wallow in deliberate sin. Unless holiness becomes increasingly attractive and sin increasingly distasteful following conversion, the validity of that conversion must be seriously questioned, irrespective of the intensity of sobs and fervour of promises at the penitent form.

The church and all those within it must also be clear that Jesus is their personal Lord and that allegiance to Him must come before allegiance to anything or anyone else. Christians must see themselves as individual members of the corporate Body of Christ and must be submitted to the Head and work together in the unity of the Spirit so that the will of the Head (Jesus) is carried out through the corporate Body. We must realise that in trying to put in motion our own plans for the way in which we think the church should operate, we are treating the Body as our own bodies would be treated if our limbs and organs acquired wills of their own and started operating independently of the brain. Our own bodies would tear themselves apart; so why should we expect any less disastrous result for the Body of Christ?

This does not mean, however, that we should see the existence of different denominations as an evil. Rather, we should rejoice in the variety of ways that God provides for us to express worship. If we were to regard membership of our own denomination as necessary to salvation; that would be wrong. In effect, we would be saying that our denomination, not Jesus, is the saviour. But it is equally wrong to say that all true Christians must withdraw from denominations altogether, as that too would be setting up something besides acceptance of Jesus as necessary for salvation. In seeking the unity and the growth of the Body, we also seek the unity and growth of all the local manifestations of the Body, including all existing groups and denominations of Christians who have truly been set free from sin by accepting the sacrifice of Jesus.

There are some "key" passages in the Bible that are so filled with tremendous spiritual value that all who would call themselves Christian should take time out, not just to read them, but to meditate on them and ask God to illuminate our hearts as well as our minds to their great truths.

I would ask each person reading these words to prayerfully set aside a little time each day, for five days, for the following meditations. This may be alone, or with a small group of people (maybe members of your family, or your Bible study or prayer group). The five days can be consecutive or not, whatever is most appropriate for you, but in any case, it is only a very small investment of your time that has the potential of delivering a huge spiritual dividend.

As well as this set time, I strongly urge that you frequently bring these passages and thoughts to mind during your daily routine. This is something that you should do, not just for five days, but indefinitely. Form a habit of meditating on these verses; on other Bible verses too, but constantly return to these until they become part and parcel of your mind-set. Their message will then be ˜natural' to you!

I'd like to comment on points in this excerpt from the above, fine devotional:

In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mortal man do to me?
--Psalm 56:4 (NIV)

Jesus says Evil has been cast out of Heaven with nothing in Jesus in Heaven or on Earth, as Jesus says of Himself, He has now been given all power in Heaven and Earth.

“17 ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” (Lu 10:17-20 AV)

“27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
“28 ¶ Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” (Joh 14:27-30 AV)

“16 ¶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Mt 28:16-18 AV)

“And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” (Jer 31:34 AV)

“31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Lu 12:31-32 AV)

“20 ¶ And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Lu 17:20-21 AV)

“18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 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 28:18-20 AV)

These are the words to live by that proceeded from the mouth of God's Word we praise, and in which Word we fear no evil now or future, and bear no burden of the past, so that if His words abide in us, the joy Jesus had in loving God back by keeping God's words obeyed in His heart, becomes our joy in loving God back by keeping God's word obeyed in our hearts, and our joy is full of the joy of God, Himself, united in His One Spirit living in in our hearts, where we keep His spoken words for Him to call to our memory, which words are Spirit and Life in us.

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Mt 4:4 AV)

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.” (Joh 6:63 AV)

So Evil can now only work through mortal man, who has no power against God, but only the power to choose good in repentance for himself. Until and unless mortal man does so choose, he has no power at all, and his momentary, self-deluding, insignificant human power perishes with him in his mortal flesh, with no part in the present and eternal Spirit of all power in Heaven and Earth.

“15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” (Joh 14:15-16 AV)
“20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (Joh 14:20-21 AV)

“23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.”
“25 ¶ These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you. 26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (Joh 14:23-27 AV)

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you...These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full."
“4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”

“9 ¶ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” (Joh 15:4-14 AV)

Zenith of Jesus’ Prayer, by Zorn, Walter D.


“. . . that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” (John 17:21)

This scripture is part of Jesus’ “high priestly” prayer in the upper room where Jesus had just finished a final “Passover Meal” with his disciples (John 13- 17). In this prayer Jesus specifically prays for himself (17:1-5), for his disciples (17:6-19), and for all future believers (17:20-26). Our devotional thoughts are concentrated upon this latter part of the prayer—a prayer for us, here, right now!

Take a few moments to meditate on the original text itself (v. 20-26, my translation): “But not concerning these do I ask alone, but also concerning those who [will] believe through their word in me” (v. 20). Jesus now takes the opportunity to pray for all future generations who will believe the gospel and will become part of Christ’s Body on earth, the Church throughout the ages. Imagine being able to read Jesus’ prayer for you, personally!

“In order that all may be one, just as you, Father, in me and I in you, in order that also they may be [one] in us, in order that the world may believe that you have sent me” (v. 21). This is the critical desire of God for the ages—that there may be unity among believers in Christ—a unity that reflects the unity of the Father and the Son. The Spirit in the believer makes this unity not only desirable but also a reality as we resonate with all believers around the world. But we should note that “unity” is not an end in itself, only a means to an end. Apparently it is an axiom that the world will hardly believe that Jesus came from God without the Church’s unity. Think on that for a moment.

“And I—the glory which you have given to me—I have given to them, in order that they may be one just as we are one, I in them and you in me, in order that they may be brought to completion into one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and you loved them just as you loved me” (v. 22-23). These two verses are a parallel to verse 21 with three hina (“in order that”) clauses interrupted by a kathos (“just as”) clause between the first and second hina clause. The repetition is typical Hebrew expression for emphasis sake. Jesus wants to share God’s glory with us.

“Father, what you have given to me, I wish that where I am there they may be with me, in order that they may see my glory which you have given to me, they you loved me before the foundation of the world” (v. 24). The rest of the prayer is an inclusion with its beginning in John 17:1-5. One day altogether we shall see the glory of Christ, if we maintain our unity in Christ.

“Righteous Father, indeed the world did not know you, but I knew you, and they have come to know that you sent me” (v. 25). Jesus moves from referring to God as “Father” (v. 1 ) to “Holy Father” (v. 11) to “Righteous Father” (v. 25). God is righteous and one day he will make us righteous just as we are by participating in Jesus’ faithfulness (Romans 3:26). He will also judge the world that does not know the Father because the world has rejected his Son. God is just in judgment as well as in salvation.

“And I made known to them your name and I will continue to make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them” (v. 26). The kind of love and unity between the Father and the Son should now be exhibited among believers in Christ. Only a genuine indwelling of the Spirit can make such a unity possible. It is an organic unity—not contrived or even organizational. I recently heard Dr. Chuck Sackett preach from 1 Corinthians 12 with this theme: “The Church is the Church when everybody knows somebody cares.”

The marks of a true believer or a genuine Christian are two: 1) love for one another even as the Father has loved us (John 13:34-35); 2) a unity of believers even as the Father and the Son are one (John 17:21). Without these being expressed in reality by the Church on earth, the world will never come to believe that the gospel is true—that God sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

While we should never compromise with what is obviously false doctrine and evil practice (2 John 10), we must come to recognize our own shortcomings when we hear Jesus praying for us. He knows we don’t love enough. He knows we are not unified in heart or spirit enough. For the sake of the world, let us manifest our unity in Christ!

Prayer: Holy and Righteous Father, deliver us from our sectarian and divisive attitudes and actions. Teach us to love one another deeply, to always seek someone to care for, and to do our best to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Amen.


Lord, what more would you have me to do?

Unity: Command or Announcement?, by Underhill, Robin


Jesus prays for the unity of his followers, but he doesn’t command it, he commands love. That unity is first observed at Pentecost. Decades later, Paul announces that unity exists. In Ephesians 4 we are told of a two-fold unity: “keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace”; and that we are to “build up the body of Christ until we all reach unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God.”

The unity of the Spirit exists. Keep it! But sometimes we just behave badly. Unity in the faith requires the hard work of growing up. This Ephesians passage lists seven “ones”. At the head of the list is “one body”. W. Carl Ketcherside, who also prayed and worked for the recognition of the church’s oneness, said, “There is only one church on earth; there never was but one; there will never be another.”

Keeping the unity of the Spirit requires a commitment. Newly-weds soon understand that they are gaining more than a life-partner in marriage. They also get in-laws and a new way of celebrating holidays. They get new ideas about how to eat soup, how to decorate the apartment and how to take vacations.

In the church we get cultural differences, different expectations regarding how to do church, and different approaches to biblical interpretation based on reactions to and influences from our different religious upbringing or lack thereof. On top of all these understandable differences, we face the clash of different personalities and conflict in leadership styles.

We have trouble with ourselves. Even the most conscientious of us sometimes say things we wish we hadn’t; we fail to listen well and miss the point; we overreact emotionally, take things out of context and repeat things we shouldn’t. No wonder we have been commanded to love one another with God’s love! His love enables us to love people we can’t like!

We repeat the announcement of the first century church: We are one in the body of Christ!

Father, help us to be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving one another. Help us to live out the announcement so clearly that we are one body so the watching world may believe and know Jesus . In His name we pray, Amen.


For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Be kindly affectioned to one another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another. Romans 12:4,5,10


He drew a circle that left me out,
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout;
But love and I had the wit to win,
We drew a circle that took him in!

- Edwin A. Markham (1852-1940)


Is my circle of love and fellowship as wide as the One Body?

Praise God that the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) has officially affirmed a Biblical stance on human sexuality that is consistent with the essential Christian doctrine of sexual morality and marriage for which Presbyterians have been admired by the rest of the body of Christ for generations!

We praise God for the power of His Holy Spirit working in and through our sisters and brothers in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) in leading them to officially affirm a Biblical stance on human sexuality that does not condone same-sex sin or same-sex marriage, as shown in this article at Christianity Today, ”PCA Sides With the Nashville Statement Over Revoice’s Approach”, at this link: https://www.christianitytoday....ce-sbc-ecc-vote.html https://www.christianitytoday....ce-sbc-ecc-vote.html

We believers all need to unite in the words of Jesus with the PCA, and with all other repentant, mutually loving and forgiving believers where this issue comes up, regardless of Christian denomination, non-denomination, or other Christian faith group, and let both them and the world know that all who are determined to approve gay sex acts are leaving Jesus and leaving all the rest of us believers, not just leaving the PCA or just their own Christian faith group.

Jesus said the Holy Spirit would lead us believers into all truth by reminding us of the words Jesus spoke. Let’s always remember together that the first words of Jesus to begin His ministry were “… Repent and believe the good news!"” (Mr 1:15b NIV), not ‘the good news is that you don’t need to repent’.

Non-repentance is precisely what the gay-sex-act-practicing, non-Christians want, and is why they constantly try to confuse the issue with word wars, by constantly changing their meaning of words.

I very much agree that repentant believers who choose celibacy over their past gay sins should be encouraged and honored among believers for making such a difficult choice. Jesus said, “…others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."” (Mt 19:12b NIV)

But calling them gay Christians is an oxymoron that is one more, additional meaning for the word “gay” we don’t need confusing our discussions together and confusing our kids who are inundated by all modern media with what the world means by gay.

Make no mistake, when the world says gay it means not merely gay-attracted, but free to engage in same-sex sex acts with whomever they choose, not repentant Christians, who are letting the Holy Spirit lead them into all truth in Jesus, now learning to become holy as He is holy, and now letting the word of God sanctify them, as Jesus was sanctified and set apart for the purposes of God from the sins of the world. More than a bit confusing.

To those gays and to the world, there is no confusion in what gay means, and to them there is no gay Christian in the name of Jesus who repents of gay sins. Believers need to accept the way gays, themselves, and the world define the word gay, and don’t confuse the life Jesus offers to let them live in, in God’s Holy Spirit, with their openly proud refusal of the repentance and forgiveness of sins that Jesus paid for with His blood in order to give them credit for Jesus’ perfect righteousness instead.

In hopes that we might reach out to gays who want repentance and forgiveness of sins, we believers all have to begin together to focus on reminding them of the good news in Jesus’ words in which all repentant, mutually loving and forgiving Christians can agree and unite, so the gays and all unbelievers, of all kinds, can know God sent Jesus here in God’s love to give them a way out of sins by faith in the name of Jesus.

Jesus said the one thing that would always be preached in His name, and therefor always believed in order for any of us to be in His name, is “repentance and forgiveness of sins”, not the non-repentance and redefinition of sins the world now wants to call Christian in the name of Jesus.

According to Jesus, the good news is that God fulfilled the scriptures by sending Jesus here to live, lay down His life, and live again forever with God in order to give us His eternal Spirit to start living in us in power in this life, by believing “in His name” for “repentance and forgiveness of sins”. “46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."” (Lu 24:46-49 NIV)

Don’t bother with the gays’ word-wars against all the scriptures where the apostle Paul makes it clear that gay-sex-act sins are sins of “sexual immorality”, and gay sins are specifically included in long lists of sins that are not to be permitted among those who claim to be believers. It is certain that same Jesus who, after His crucifixion, had the power to appear to Paul on the road to Damascus to begin Paul’s conversion, certainly also had the power to make sure Paul, and all of the other apostles, understood what Jesus meant by “sexual immorality”. So just stick with the words of Jesus that Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would help all of us who believe in His name to remember together.

Jesus plainly said “sexual immorality” is among long lists where He referred to evils and sins that Jesus said “defile” our hearts and make us “unclean” (Mt 15:18-20 NIV, Mr 7:20-23 NIV). And Jesus said ultimately, those who refuse to repent of them will remain outside the holy city of God forever, including “those who practise magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practises falsehood.” (Re 22:13-15b NIV).

In the ministry that Jesus gave to him, the Apostle Paul had to deal with the LGBT issue first-hand so it was necessary for Paul to address the specifics of sexually immoral acts so there was no confusion about the fact that these are sins not to be approved of by believers or by any Christian church officials ever.
“26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” (Ro 1:26-32 NivUS)

“9 ¶ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1Co 6:9-10 NivUS)

“9 We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers — and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.” (1Ti 1:9-11 NivUS)

Regarding gay sin, as in all areas of sin, we've got to tell the truth when the opportunity comes, that gay sex acts are sin and most certainly can be forgiven by both God and us, if they will have faith in the name of Jesus to save them from their sins, just as we believers all do, and we must, "as the Spirit leads, look for opportunities to explain to them the hope that is in us", as was recently well stated in the CT article describing their take on “beautiful orthodoxy” on this subject with sensitivity, wisdom, and patience, ”True Doctrine Doesn't Wait”, at this link:
https://www.christianitytoday....ine-doesnt-wait.html https://www.christianitytoday....ine-doesnt-wait.html

And as stated in that article, we believers of course don't single out this one set of sins. In my opinion, the gays single it out for us, trying now to say that sexual immorality is not just legal according to the civil laws of man, which many of us were willing to allow them as a matter of personal freedom of choice for their own private sexual behavior among adults, but that's not enough for them to allow us believers to choose holiness by faith in the words of Jesus for ourselves instead.

We believers love unrepentant sinners like Jesus does, and we want adults to be free to choose sin for their own life, but some gays now try to contend sexual immorality is both moral and Christian, and us believers calling it sin is hate speech. A good many of us believers regard it as matter of separation of church and state that our beliefs on human sexuality and marriage should not be imposed by man’s law on unbelieving gays. But conversely, we demand they do not infringe on our freedoms of religion and speech.

Without giving up our rights to religious freedom, and though they may regard us as their enemies, we believers need to forgive and let them see in our behavior to them that we love them anyway, like Jesus loved us when we were still in our sins, and we must realize that our contention is not with the flesh and blood of the unrepentant sinner, but is spiritual at a much higher level.

This attempt to call the gay sin good, the same sin which Jesus says defiles our heart, is Satan's attack plan, along with pornography, because it’s an easy sell through modern media, and it trades repentance and forgiveness of sins Jesus said would always be preached in His name, for the non-repentance and redefinition of sins the world wants to call moral and Christian in Jesus' name, because if they can get the name, then we no longer have the protection in His name, the name that means the salvation of His people, protected as Jesus promised us, and Christian unity stops. “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."” (Mt 1:21 NIV) “I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.” (Joh 17:11 NIV )“My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.” (Joh 17:15 NIV)

If we love His flock like He does, with the Good Shepherd's heart, we lay down our lives to get back all the repentant, mutually loving and forgiving believers that have been led astray on this subject in recent years, regardless of in our denomination or not, because they all were once His, and they will hear the Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd calling from the body of Christ united as the Father and Son are one in that one Spirit.

This is the frontline against the against the powers of this dark world. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Eph 6:12 NIV)

Christian unity that shows the world that God sent Jesus, and why, is our unity in the name of Jesus; our unity in the gospel, good news about Jesus; and our unity in obedience in the greatest way possible to the first and second most important commands as Jesus commanded them to be fulfilled, which are all the same thing, as shown by the scriptures in the prayer, at this link: http://scuwpg.org/eve/forums/a...040813/m/97520247373 http://scuwpg.org/eve/forums/a...040813/m/97520247373

Please note the following is an excerpt from the book, “Jesus’ Prayer from A to Z”, of which I’m Editor.


- J - Jesus’ Gospel Prayer, by
Jacobs, Lyndsay


We usually refer to John 17: 20-21 as Jesus’ prayer for unity, but that is to
confuse the means with the end: “... so that the world may believe that you have sent
me.” John 17: 20-21 is Jesus’ gospel prayer for the world - that all may believe!

This passage is certainly about Jesus’ prayer for our togetherness - for the
very best of relationships in Christian community. But the focus is on the effect of
unity - that others will see life lived ‘in all its fullness’ (John 10:10) and want that life
for themselves. It is a prayer for the followers of Jesus to live in harmony with God’s
purposes as well as with other believers so that all people will know who Christ is.

Only in our best moments do we realize that Christian unity is central to the
life of the church. It is no ‘optional extra’. Our relationships with God and others are
at the heart of the gospel. We have Jesus’ authority for that. ‘What is the greatest
commandment?’ he was asked. ‘Love God’ was the answer. ‘And if you ask me what
is second, it’s loving others’. (Mark 12:28-34)

The ‘Stone-Campbell’ movement (Churches of Christ - Christian - Disciples
of Christ) grew out of the recognition that the church two centuries ago was much
less effective in making Christ known because of its bitter rivalries and divisions.
Unity was seen as essential for effectively proclaiming the gospel; ‘back-to-Biblebasics’
was seen as the means of achieving that unity.

Practising unity is preaching the gospel without words. Practising division
is denying the gospel has meaning. Jesus challenged his followers to embody unity -
to demonstrate the relationships of the new creation in new community.

Where do we start? It is essential that we begin in the areas closest to us: in
our families, among our friends and acquaintances, within our congregations. Unity
in the wider Christian community can be built only if these primary building blocks
are top quality - poor bricks, poor building.

In my early teens I was helping with the pre-schoolers. At our Sunday School
teachers’ meeting we discussed whether to redecorate the room this class was using.
We were unanimous in wanting to go ahead - except for our elderly treasurer. The
time was set for repainting - 8 am the following Saturday. I was the second to arrive
- the treasurer was already there. I naively said that I was surprised to see him there.
He explained that ‘we’ had decided the job was to be done.

I learned a lot about the church that day. About commUnity. About unity in
diversity. And about the everyday outcome of the gospel. Looking back, I see that
the congregation of my youth was very diverse - but it had a treasured unity under
the Lordship of Christ. Actions were certainly louder than our many controversial
words.

Barton W. Stone said, “Let unity be our polar star.” Before the days of GPS
devices we used stars to orient and guide us; but they are never the destination in
themselves. Beyond the polar star, we must see the natal star - and what its light
reveals.


Prayer: Almighty God, Your will is unity; Christ prayed for unity the
night before he was crucified; and unity is at the heart of the gospel message.
For the sake of a world in search of faith, help us to make your priority our
priority too. Amen. Let it happen.

The Church’s One Foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord.
She is His new creation By water and the Word.
From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died.

Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued.

Yet she on earth has union With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee.
- Samuel J. Stone (1839-1900)

Please note the following is an excerpt from “Jesus’ Prayer from A to Z”, of which I’m Editor.


– C – Constrained By Purpose, by Cook, James L.


Jesus prayed for you and me centuries before we ever appeared on the scene. In His magnificent prayer in John 17, His heartfelt words reveal His singleness of purpose in coming into the world. He begins by reviewing with His Father the completion of the mission He had been given (v. 4). He then prays for the faithfulness and safety of the disciples who would be carrying on the work of the Gospel in an unbelieving and adversarial world (vs. 6-19). Finally, in verses 20 and 21, Jesus turns His attention to those who would become believers in the future through the apostles’ word (“word” or “message” in the singular is intended to include all the apostles’ preaching, teaching, and writing as a unit or body of doctrine). In other words, He was praying for the future Church.

His prayer on our behalf was quite simply, and yet profoundly, that we may be one as He and the Father are one. We can debate from now until He comes again how and to what extent our unity approximates that of the Father and the Son, but surely Jesus was holding up their unity as a model for believers. Our unity today cannot be a oneness of essence in the identical sense in which God and Jesus are one essence. And yet, our unity does have an essence: it is spiritual. Our oneness is intrinsically in and of the Spirit based on our faith and trust in Jesus as God’s Son and our Savior, through our belief in the truth of God’s word revealed through the apostles’ doctrine. “Baptized by one Spirit into one body (I Cor. 12:13), we are thereby one in the Father and the Son. This is the unity, the oneness, for which He prayed.

Jesus had a profound purpose in His prayer for our unity. Three times in verse 21, recorded by John, He uses a little word with a powerful meaning: hina is a Greek word which denotes purpose or intent. It is commonly translated “in order that,” or “so that,” or simply “that.” The purpose of the unity for which Jesus prayed is that the world may believe that God had sent Him, that He is God’s Son, God’s Messiah. The world was important to Jesus. His Father loved it (John 3:16) and Jesus was about to die for it. This purpose of His heart’s desire and prayer constrains us today to make this unity a priority for our Savior.

The apostle Paul felt and expressed the constraint of this purpose when he urged the Ephesian Christians to “be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3 NIV). The Greek word Paul uses for “be diligent” means to be zealous or eager, to take pains, to make every effort. We should thus be charged up and willing to do whatever is required of us to live out this unity among God’s people so that the world will believe.

When this unity is expressed, how will it appear to an onlooker? It must be a unity that the world can observe; a unity that they see which is convincing, that Jesus is indeed God’s Son sent into the world as our Savior. It will be a unity that manifests itself by the love believers have for one another and for our Lord Jesus Christ. It will result in joyful service to all. It will be a oneness with Jesus, visually evident and similar to the oneness that Jesus described between Himself and His Father, in terms of their common love for one another, their singleness of purpose and mission, and the manner in which they glorify one another by words and deeds. The goal of our Christian striving must be nothing less than to fulfill Jesus’ prayer and purpose.


Let us pray: Our Father, we thank You for the spiritual unity that already exists among us who are members of your dear Family. Empower us through your Word and by the Holy Spirit to make that unity a visible reality, so that the world may believe. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Christian Hearts In Love United –

Seek alone in Jesus rest;
Has He not your love excited?
Then let love inspire each breast;
Members on our Head depending,
Lights reflecting Him, our Sun,
Brethren His commands attending,
We in Him, our Lord, are one.

O that such may be our union;
As Thine with the Father is,
And not one of our communion
E’er forsake the path of bliss;
May our light ‘fore men with brightness,
From Thy light reflected, shine;
Thus the world will bear us witness,
That we, Lord, are truly Thine.
- Nikolaus L. von Zinzendorf (1700-1760)

Christ, Lord Jesus Christ we ask you for more
grace and more mercy, Holy Spirit lead us in
praying prayers for the unity of the Church, and
prayers for the Body of Christ, and prayers for
all believers in Christ.

We hold the image ever in our hearts and we
visualize our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross, and
we see the blood of our Lord flowing ever from His
Body to our lives, covering and washing us in the
Blood of Christ. We see His blood flowing from His
Body to the Church all around the world.

We image and we visualize the resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ in our lives, as we are risen
with Him, in newness of holy life.

We image and we visualize the Throne Room, in the
Third Heaven, by faith we see the great, deep,
bright light coming from the Throne of Mercy upon
us. We receive the presence of the Father and His
love by faith.

We image and we visualize the Throne Room, we see
our Lord Jesus Christ at the Right Hand of God the
Father, He is praying for us, for every believer,
He is praying for you and me, He is praying for
the unity of the Church, He is praying for the
Church around the World. We receive by faith the
partaking of the Throne of Grace.

We image and we visualize the Throne Room, We see
Seven Lamps of Fire Burning before the Throne of
Mercy and Grace, this is the Throne of Love, the
Throne of the Holy spirit, We receive by faith the
Seven Rivers of the Spirit.

“And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me,
as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, And said unto me,
What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a
candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it,
and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven
lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:” (Zec 4:1-2 AV)

“Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto
me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the
word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor
by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who
[art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt
become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone
[thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, The
hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house;
his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the
LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. For who hath despised
the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall
see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those
seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro
through the whole earth.” (Zec 4:5-10 AV)

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house,
an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is
contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief
corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him
shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe
[he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the
stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the
head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of
offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being
disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye
[are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light: Which in time past [were] not a people,
but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained
mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I
beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;” (1Pe 2:5-11 AV)


We meditate on Christ, we center upon Christ, we
believe and we see by faith, faith is real, Jesus
is Real, we enter into the very Presence of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We meditate on the fellowship and community of the
Trinity; we enter into the Fellowship, Community
of the Trinity. We image and we visualize, we
meditate and contemplate, for the Church, which is
the Bride of Christ is between the Fellowship of
the Trinity.

“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.” (Joh 17:20-21 AV)


We pray for outpourings of prophecy, visions, dreams,
visitations, encounters of God in the fear of the Lord.

“In the fear of the LORD [is] strong confidence: and his
children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD
[is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of
death.” (Pr 14:26-27 AV)

in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;

none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this?
[who] will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave

They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not
the children of God: but the children of the promise are
counted for the seed.” (Ro 9:6-8 AV)

Praying for Unity day and night part two

(Note: this is a review and a renew prayer for unity, touching
on subjects beginning with the second series of prayers for
unity that poured out from His Throne Room, through our hearts
unto the church around the world. Please pray with us these
things which we pray here continually, and if you want, you
can also go back and reread and pray through our second group
of 34 prayers for unity, etc.)


Father we come Boldly and Humbly before the Throne Room by the
Blood of Christ. Lead and guide us through the Holy Spirit to
pray for the Eternal purpose of God, which is the Church, lead
us to pray for unity in the church, and to pray your will.

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him in love...Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he
might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which
are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:" (Eph
1:4,9-10 AV)

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing." (1Th 5:16-17 AV)

"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your
fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command
you, that ye love one another." (Joh 15:16-17 AV)

prayers and revelational prayers to pray for unity and the
body of Christ.

Father we pray for reconciliation, unity, and oneness for the
church around the world. Let the walls of division come down

Holy Spirit come upon each one of us, giving us the revelation
of reconciliation, unity and oneness in Christ.

Father we pray for the width of the church, we pray for the
length of the church, we pray for the depth of the church, and
we pray for the height of the church.

Father we pray for the depth of the church; we pray for the

for such deeply rooted and grounded depth of love to be among
the believers within every city around the world.

have unity with Christ, then unity with one another in Christ.

Father we pray for an outpouring of fasting for unity in the
church around the world. It is time for believers to come

mature, let unity flow, and let unity manifest upon and in the
church on a global level.

Father we call forth global unity in the church. We speak and

the Holy Spirit, can bring true unity in the Body of Christ.
Let the love of God be poured in our hearts through the Holy
Spirit. Give us love for one another, give us caring hearts
for one another, and give us a heart of unity for one another.

Father we ask you to cover every believer, every church, every
Christian group, every city church, every city and every
nation with your eternal love for every believer.

Love covers all, love covers all, love covers all, love covers
all, love covers all, love covers all, love covers all, love

Father we pray for showers of grace, mercy, love, peace,
blessings and anointings to rain upon the church around the

fire in the hearts of all believers.

Father give us grace, love and truth to see that there is only
One Body. Give us grace, love and truth to center on Christ,
center on the Body of Christ, center on Christ's oneness in
the Church, and center on the Kingdom of God.

Father we pray for great rivers of unity and rivers of power
to come upon the church, for with unity comes power, with love
comes power from above. We pray for fullness of unity to come
and fullness of power from God to heal, and witness for Christ
to come.

Father we pray for a pure river of unity to run down from your
Throne upon the church around the world touching every member,
every group in Christ, filling us all with the depth of your
love and your unity.

world. We pray let the pure river of unity flow upon the
global church around the world.

unity, let there be a pure river of unity to flow upon each
one of us and every person who visits this web site.

We can hear the sounds of many believers with a heart of unity
and a heart of love around the world.

Father we ask you to plant the seeds of unity and love in the
hearts of all believers in Christ, raise up unity and love
within each member in Christ around the world. Release the
revelation of unity and the city church in all believers in
Christ.

Father we pray plant the seeds for unity and love in the body
of Christ around the world. Release the vision for oneness,
unity and love in the church around the world. Make the
church fat with oneness, unity and love.

We pray for all believers in Christ in all nations, all cities
and all places. We pray for the seeds of unity to be planted
and watered in their hearts. We pray release of the vision of
unity and the vision of the city church in all our hearts. We
pray for waves and rivers of unity to come to us all. We pray
for revivals of unity to come to believers in Christ. We pray
for a strong sense of unity to arise in all believers. We
pray for unity to arise in the hearts of all believers.

Father we pray for all those around the world who are praying
for the body of Christ to come into unity. We pray let
revival come to each one of us and let revival come as a
whole, and let there be a revival of unity, and a restoration
of unity.

Father fill our hearts with your love, make us one in Christ's
oneness, give us grace to obey by faith the "one another"
commands of your word, and give us grace to love one another,
and give us grace to come into unity. Unity with you, and
then unity with one another: with you we are to love you with
all of our heart, mind, and everything, and with one another
we are to love them like you love them.

day approaching.
1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the

"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

"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.

First and Foremost Unity with God


"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son
Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that
keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (1Jo 3:23-24
AV)

"No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in
us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him,
and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit." (1Jo 4:12-13 AV)


Father we come to the Throne Room by the Blood of Christ. We pray anoint
us to pray for unity, lead us to pray for unity, and give us revival.
Minister to us with revival and through the manifestation of the Holy
Spirit.

First and foremost is unity with God through the Blood of Christ,
second most for us is unity with one another through the Holy Spirit in
each one of us.

Father we have unity with you through Jesus Christ our Lord, when we
believe in Christ, and give our lives to Him, and ask Him to be Lord and
Savior over our life. This was beginning of our unity with God.

We have unity with God through the blood of Christ, it is not how
good we have been, it is in His grace and His mercy that we have unity
with God.

Unity with God is through forgiveness of sins. God you made us to
live for you and to love you, and this is your gift of holiness in Christ.
We are not to live a life of sin, we are not to be a witness for sin, and we
are not to love sin. This is all the work of the Blood of Christ, faith and
the Holy Spirit.

Through the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit we have power over
sin, and over sinfulness in life. Yes we have unity with God through the
Blood of Christ not by good works, however we have unity with God in loving
God by loving and knowing Him as the One True Holy God, and that through the
Holy Spirit we can live holy.

Apart from that, we pray forgive us of our sins against the church,
against our brothers and sisters in Christ; forgive us of the sin of
unforgiveness. Heal and clean our hearts. Give us unity with God first and
from unity with God comes unity with one another; as we love God, *so we
love one another; this is your gift to us, Lord, of true holiness and true
unity.

Father we pray for revival, repentance, restoration, renewal, to come
to every believer. Fill us with more love for you Lord, fill us with
passionate love for you, and fill us with passion for you. Give us unity in
the church; give us unity with one another.

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

Prepare The Way For Unity

"And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God." (Eze 11:19-20 AV)



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



"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Mt 18:20 AV)





Father we come to your Throne by the Blood of Christ. If two or three are gathered in the name of Jesus, Jesus will be in our midst through the Holy Spirit. Lead and guide us in praying prayers for unity for the church.



Establish unity in every city among every congregation, establish city church unity, establish the vision of unity, bring the willing and obedient together, bring the city church leaders together; network the church horizontally in every city around the world.



Raise up the forerunners groups to prepare the way for unity, rise up the prayer warriors around the world in every city to pray for unity. Raise up those spiritual leaders that will teach the church unity, that will show us how to apply unity to our congregations.



You are networking the whole church, those willing and those whom you have lead to come together in a networking of grace and truth, faith, and love around the world, to win many, many, many souls to Christ, to be filled with glory, to receive all the blessings that you, Lord, will give us if we come together in unity and vision.



Raise up those who would be the knots in this networking of unity, it is networking of unity for revival, it is networking of unity for harvest, it is networking for blessings, it is networking of communication with God. The knots are certain spiritual leaders who will be horizontal leaders from the city church level, to the regional church level, to the national church level, and to the global church level.



We pray Father send your angels, send your forerunners, send your people, and send the Holy Spirit most of all to prepare the way for unity!



We pray establish the center gathering places in our cities, in our nations, and on a global level, call those grounds holy, make these places of unity, send your holy fire to clean, and to make unity, send your angels to watch over, and send your servants to redeem the gathering places for unity.



We pray send revelation of unity around the world, burn the pathway to unity so we may see and walk upon this pathway of unity, send your fire to burn this pathway of unity, send your angels to remove the stones, weeds, and road blocks on the pathway of unity. Send the Holy Spirit to prepare the pathway of unity for us, anoint the pathway, and anoint us to walk upon the pathway to unity.



We may not understand, we may not believe, we may not receive, and we may not all obey, however we pray show forth your light upon the pathway to unity, send your Holy Spirit to minister to us to help us understand and receive and to believe in unity. Above all we trust you even if we don't understand everything, but we do know your peace. Guide us with your peace on the pathway of unity and to unity.



If we fail, if we go aside, if we fall into error bring us back to the pathway of the Lord, that is found in the Holy Word of God, guide us and lead us on the pathway of unity, and to unity.



We pray Father send your angels, send your forerunners, send your people, and send the Holy Spirit most of all to prepare the way for unity!



We sing unto the Lord prepare the way for unity, we sing unto the Lord prepare the way for unity, we sing unto the Lord prepare the way for unity, and we sing amen, amen, and amen to the Lord.



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

Unity of Christians in Russia and Neighboring Countries

(Part of the Introduction for the Coming Unity series of prayers for regions
And nations around the world.)

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:9-10 AV)

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (1 Peter 2:5,9 AV)

"As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth. "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me." (Joh 17:18-21 NRSV)

Father we come boldly and humbly through the blood of Christ into your Throne Room. Give us grace, anointing, revelation, prophetic insight, and Holy Spirit leading in praying for unity, praying for the Body of Christ, praying for the Christians in Russia and Neighboring Countries.

We pray bring together prayer, worship, signs and wonders, to be joined to the rising waves of unity and love that encompass all Christians in Christ. We pray that the church will stand strong in grace, wisdom, power, revelation, and unity in these nations and cities.

Let every believer in these nations bow their knees to worship the Lord together, and to wash one another's feet in humility, love, grace, peace, and freedom. We pray raise up the church in strong unity and in strong vision in these blessed nations under the covering of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Father we pray now for the church around the world. We pray for the vision of unity to be raised up as banner of the Lord. We pray that deep rivers of unity and love will break forth and cover all believers in every nation, and on a global level.

We pray that the sign of love will shine great throughout the church in the hearts of every member in the body of Christ, that all of the world will see this sign and then know that we are His people, and that God is real.

We pray that the church, every believer in Christ, will be set free from spiritual blindness when it come to unity, to see that oneness, and reconciliation is of God the Father and is the will of our Lord Jesus Christ. When we see the sign of love among us we will know that His glory will come and we will have the fullness of revival.

Father we pray for all those gathering to pray for unity; touch their hearts and minds, bring revival, healing, restoration, anointing, breakthrough, and blessing to them. We pray for blessings to flow from the Throne Room into our lives, and that the ministry of unity and love will grow, and mature.

Father hear the prayers for unity, the church, see our hearts, see your prophetic vision in our prayers and in our hearts, hear our cries and tears in our prayers and in our hearts. We pray bring unity to the church, make us one, and bring reconciliation to all believers in Christ Jesus. Thank you for hearing our prayers and seeing our deeds intended for the good of all your children.

To the glory of the Father, to the glory of Jesus Christ, and to the glory of the Holy Spirit.

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

Father we are coming and maturing unto unity, we are taking each step on the journey of unity. Have mercy on us; we carry heavier loads than we should in our spiritual backpacks; cleanse us from the divisions and hurts, reasons for divisions, and cleanse us from all things that hinder true and mature unity in our lives and with one another.

Father now I pray for those gathered together, give us grace, give us faith, give the Holy spirit that we may mature unto unity, mature in each of the steps of unity and love. That we will mature unto love.

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

Commemoration of Oswald Chambers, spiritual writer, 1917

Meditation:
Paul, an apostle--sent not from men nor by man, but by
Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--
--Galatians 1:1 (NIV)

_______________________________________________________________

Quotation:
There is one ... aspect of St. Paul's preaching which is
often taken for granted, but is certainly not true--that the
Gospel of St. Paul was purely individualistic. To the heathen
crowd St. Paul addressed himself as to a mass of souls from
amongst which he was to gather the elect children of God. But
he did not approach them as an isolated prophet: he came as an
Apostle of the Church of God, and he did not simply seek to
gather out individual souls from amongst the heathen; he
gathered them into the society of which he was a member. He did
not teach them that they would find salvation by themselves
alone, but that they would find it in the perfecting of the
Body of Christ. Souls were not invited to enter into an
isolated solitary religious life of communion with Christ: they
were invited to enter the society in which the Spirit
manifested Himself and in which they would share in the
communication of His life. [Continued tomorrow]

Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist,
Reformer of the Church, 1093
Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of
Canterbury, 1240

Meditation:
For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--
whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given
the one Spirit to drink.
--1 Corinthians 12:13 (NIV)

_______________________________________________________________

Quotation:
[Continued from yesterday] It was inconceivable that a
Christian taught by St. Paul could think of himself as
obtaining a personal salvation by himself. He became one of the
brethren. He shared in the common sacraments. The Church was
not an invisible body formed of unknown 'believers'. Men were
admitted by their baptism into a very visible society, liable
to be attacked by very visible foes. The Apostle who preached
to them was a member of it, and he preached as a member of it,
and as a member of it he invited them to enter it, to share its
privileges and its burdens, its glory and its shame. Entrance
into it was guarded by a very definite and unmistakable
sacrament.

Commentary by Tim::

Allen is looking for the right obedience at the wrong time for the new believer. Allen says, "Entrance into it was guarded by a very definite and unmistakable sacrament." Paul says it was one Spirit we all drink, and one Spirit into which we were all baptized, not into one water, doing guard duty.

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
--1 Corinthians 12:13 (NIV)

Jesus sends us believers forth as one, in the same way His Father sent Jesus into the world, to help in the process of gathering all the Father's sheep into the one fold, whether they've been baptized before and now strayed away, baptized for repentance only, or not yet baptized at all, because lacking water baptism can be corrected. And Jesus makes identifying the Father's sheep unmistakable, the ones which we are to help gather into the one fold, but not initially identified by previous water baptism.

Peter was plainly shown that the Spirit can enter persons prior to baptism with water, and Peter made it clear that no man can guard or forbid by water what the Spirit gives to live in the heart.
“Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?” (Ac 10:47 AV)

The fact that no man can forbid water baptism after the Spirit is already in a believer is because the Spirit knows hearts, and can choose water baptism to come after baptism in the Spirit, as the Spirit may choose. No man can forbid the Spirit's decision, and that includes Allen, whether he would argue for unmistakable sacrament or undeniable ordinance, either way, the commandment to be baptized is being obeyed as the believer understands it so, as well as obeying the commands of Jesus to repent and believe, whether before or after the moment of baptism by water.

In this mistaken insistence by Allen on only one sequence of obedience allowable by the Spirit, Allen has taken the wonderful blessing God intended in baptism for all believers and turned it into a stumbling stone of offense to keep the unbaptized believer out, just by insisting on the absolute, unmistakable priority in time of the right command at the wrong time. Paul and Peter understood this well, because they both focused on the words of Jesus, which Peter heard from the mouth of God, Himself, and Paul heard in person about the goads being hard to kick against as the Light blinded him, giving Paul good reason to hear carefully, with ears to hear from other believers, the full message of all the words God sent Jesus to speak to all us believers, and to Paul in particular.
“13 About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ’Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’” (Ac 26:13-14 NivUS)
“The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails —  given by one Shepherd.” (Ec 12:11 NivUS)
“6 "About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ’Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ 8 "’Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. "’I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. 9 My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. 10 "’What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked. "’Get up,’ the Lord said, ’and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’” (Ac 22:6-10 NivUS)
“14 "Then he said: ’The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. 15 You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’” (Ac 22:14-16 NivUS)
“For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.” (Joh 17:8 NivUS)
“Jesus answered, "It is written: ’Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"” (Mt 4:4 NivUS)

If we look to the One, Good Shepherd, in which Jesus and the Father are one, to lead us all as one flock to green pastures, in order to feed both ourselves, and all the rest of the Father's sheep, on the same, one, eternal Bread that lasts so we never hunger again, the Bread which feeds the Spirit in all of us by that which proceeded out of the mouth of God, who is the Word, then the Spirit will remind us that the words from the very mouth of God in Jesus tell us the Father gives all His sheep the ears to hear the voice of the One, Good Shepherd calling to them in the two commands that come first in time to the Father's sheep needing to come out of the world of sin into the one flock, which is to repent and believe the good news in the words in His voice, before rightly hearing the command he also gave us to be baptized with water.
“14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 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 10:14-16 AV)
“But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (Joh 14:26 AV )
“14 ¶ After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"” (Mr 1:14-15 NivUS)
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Lu 24:47 AV)
“14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Mt 6:14-15 AV)

Only in the light the Spirit gives both us and Peter, as well as to Paul, in the understanding of the words Jesus spoke, can we fully understand the words Paul wrote that Allen refers to here, about Paul intending no 'personal salvation by himself', without all the other members of the body, which both nowadays, as well as in the days of the Apostles, always includes every repentant, mutually loving and all-forgiving brother and sister in Christ in the world, in every Christian denomination and faith group, which in the Apostle’s time was only one denomination, wherever located, and no matter how each congregation had to be corrected to finally learn to live in the Spirit, and not in the flesh, not in the lusts for worldly things, wealth, power, and honor among men, or sexual immorality.

Whether the One Spirit of God leads all believers to remain in multiple Christian denominations and faith groups or not, it is the One Spirit’s decision to make and to lead as only He may choose, because it is the One Spirit in all us believers that leads us to unite in Himself, with Himself living in each and every believer, leading us all into the fullness of unity on Earth as the Father and Jesus of Nazareth were one on Earth, in the One, Good Shepherd, all working the Father’s will on Earth as it is in Heaven, working as one here to gather into the one flock even the least believer among all the Father’s sheep, including every repentant, mutually loving, and all-forgiving brother and sister in Christ, in every Christian denomination and faith group.

Allen was right, but in a way he did not realize, when he said of Paul, "He did not teach them that they would find salvation by themselves alone, but that they would find it in the perfecting of the Body of Christ”, which perfecting actually begins, not on the precise sequence of the moment of conversion vs. the moment of water baptism, but rather, our perfection as the body of Christ begins when all believers start uniting in the one, commonly-shared salvation that the voice of God in the words spoken by Jesus specifically said God wants, in Christian unity of all believers as one, the same unity as Jesus and the Father were one, in the one Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd, so that all believers love and care for one another with their lives in this world laid down, figuratively for one another, thus fulfilling the first most important commandment to love God, so God can show His glory to make us one, showing it to all in the world whosoever will come to believe that God sent Jesus for that purpose of salvation for all the Father's sheep, which unity in mutual love among all believers then, in turn, fulfills the second most important command to us to love all in the world as much as we love ourselves as believers, in the love both we and God have together for all in the world to see His glory, which the world can now believe God sent Jesus to show to the world, too.

“21 “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 “And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 “I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24 ¶ “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (Joh 17:21-24 NKJV)

“27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 “I and My Father are one.”” (Joh 10:27-30 NKJV)

What Paul and Peter knew, and the body of Christ now learns all over again, is that the perfecting of the Body of Christ that God wants the world to see is described in the words to live by, that give sustenance and life to the One Spirit that lives in all the Father's sheep, words given as they proceeded from the mouth of God, when He walked the Earth in the man named Jesus of Nazareth; words heard with the first spiritual gift of ears to hear the voice of the One, Good Shepherd of all the Father's sheep, including every repentant, mutually loving, and all-forgiving brother and sister in Christ, in every Christian denomination and faith group, whether any man tries to use baptism to exclude, instead of helping to gather, all the Father's sheep into the one fold, beginning even before they are baptized as the Spirit may choose, if they haven't heard the command already, which God willing, all "whosoever believeth", will soon hear and learn, only in fervent brotherly love in Christ from the baptized already, like Paul heard in Damascus.

“14 "Then he said: ’The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. 15 You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’” (Ac 22:14-16 NivUS)

Each Prayer Here Is to Show the World Christian Unity is God’s Purpose for the Universe

“9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.” (Eph 1:9-10 NivUS)

God is a spirit, God is all-holy, and God is love. So God’s purpose for the universe is to create the kind of godly, holy, and loving, spiritual children for Himself that He wants to spend eternity with, children who are ever learning from Him how to be more like Him, ever loving Him back for His eternal, underserved love and mercy to them, which makes them all equal children of His, in God’s eyes, all credited as being equal to one another in the righteousness of Christ, Himself, and children who are ever loving one another and ever having mercy on one another of God’s eternal children, each and every one of their siblings, the same as God the Father loves and has mercy on them all.

We believers in Jesus are those eternal children of God, our Father in Heaven, and we will all eventually learn all truth which God wants us to know in Jesus. It may well take us an eternity of following His Spirit to lead us there, but the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth, which is all in Jesus, if we start following and learning from Him now in this life as we receive Him in our hearts to lead us.

God gets us started now, on this earth, to begin that eternal life of following Him here, when we first know the eternal love and mercy that our Father in Heaven has given us by sending His Son, Jesus, to show us, in Jesus, what God’s Spirit of eternal love and mercy looks like when that Spirit lives in a man.

If we know that Jesus of Nazareth is that man sent by the Father, that man in whom the fullness of the Godhead was willing to come to earth and live a perfect life, to willingly let evil men kill Him unjustly, just so He could take the punishment we deserve for our sins by paying for our sins with His own blood on this earth, then we begin to know what kind of love and mercy God in Heaven is.

If we know who that man, Jesus, was on earth and is now, then we know by looking at Jesus when He was here on earth, that God in heaven is the same kind of love and mercy He sent to the earth in Jesus to be our one Savior, Christ, and Redeemer, and we have faith in that story, that fame, that glorious name of Jesus for what He did for us all. That is our faith in the name of Jesus, the faith we have, that simply by us believing in His name that way, He undeservedly gives His same Spirit to live in each and every one of us.

That is our faith in the name of Jesus, faith in all He was, all He did here, and all He is now, that His name gives us the opportunity for repentance and forgiveness of our sins we could never earn for ourselves.

In that name of Jesus, God gives His love and mercy to us believers as much as we love all believers as Jesus self-sacrificially loved both us and the world; and in that name God gives His love to the world through us believers who are one, as Jesus and the Father are one, if we love all our unbelieving neighbors and enemies in the world as we love ourselves; and in that name God gives to us limitless mercy with as much forgiveness as we give to all who sin against us.

So by that faith of ours in that kind of holiness, mercy, and unbounded love to us, which are all key to knowing who that Spirit is, in Jesus, we know what kind of amazing gospel, good news, that faith means for the rest of our lives here on earth: that as long as we choose to follow and remain in Him, with ever-repentant hearts seeking to be ever more like Him, repenting now of all the sins we know, and repenting in the future as fast as God shows us our sins, we are now undeservedly already credited by God to have the perfect, sinless holiness Jesus had, so we can continually have the gospel, good news, joy in our lives every day of knowing God lives in our own hearts now, knowing God continually approves of how we ever seek to please Him by obeying His loving guidance here in our own hearts, and we know God always gives to us, undeservedly, the gift of the very inheritance that Jesus earned for us to live in, starting now on earth, and eternally together with God as one in Jesus in heaven.

That’s how we know, and can be certain no matter what happens in this life, that we have eternal salvation and protection in this life starting now in the name of Jesus. And we have every right, even the command of Jesus, to proceed based on that confidence in our salvation, to teach to every member of our own Christian faith group, every doctrinal determination and every application of every command Jesus ever gave us, as we in our own Christian faith group or denomination see best to worship our Lord.

The only problem with that every-doctrine-we-hold approach comes about if we stress it all to be so essential in order to exclude from those whom we consider to be children of God in Christ, the repentant, mutually loving believers who exist in other, Christian faith groups and Christian denominations, not in our own. If we stress the whole of all our group’s doctrine above the simple gospel, good news of what Jesus has done for us all to get His Spirit into all of us in the first place, and to give us faith in His name for repentance and forgiveness of sins, then the world hears all those different denominational and Christian faith group distinctives, and can’t sort them out.

That’s fine food for the mature Christians to share in love and edification with one another who are already believers in Christ, both within each Christian faith group as well as with other believers outside, and always only in mutual edification that is evident to the hearers and is seen by the world to be motivated only by our love. There is certainly no love of God to be found in public arguments that serve nothing but our own selfish pride over a gift of knowledge of the truth of God’s word which was never our own idea in the first place, if it is true, but is only ever a gift from God in understanding the Bible scripture.

“18 ¶ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," 20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."” (1Co 3:18-20 ESV)

“6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. 7 ¶ For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?” (1Co 4:6-7 ESV)

But instead of secondary doctrinal disputes, Jesus says what the world needs to know first is that the Triune God really did send Jesus here, as stated in the doctrine of Christ which all Christian faith groups already all hold the same as one, in the gospel, good news of what He did to pay for all our sins with His blood, which good news is to be found in every word for us all to live by that proceeded from the mouth of God in Jesus of Nazareth in the Bible showing us what the Spirit of our Father God's self-sacrificial, One, Good Shepherd's love for all believers looks like in the man, Jesus, sent to Earth to gather all of God's sheep into one, eternal flock in which that same Spirit of self-sacrificial love lives in every one of God's sheep.

Jesus told all us believers that based on our one faith in His name for repentance and forgiveness of sins, our faith to know we receive as much mercy as we forgive all who sin against us, then the Holy Spirit would lead all us repentant, mutually loving believers, in every Christian faith group and denomination to be one in that self-sacrificial One, Good Shepherd's love for all of God's sheep, which love becomes shown to the world in several ways:

...One in understanding the words of Jesus, Himself, as shown in the Bible, so we can unite in Jesus, because the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth, and Jesus is all Truth;

...One in knowing we receive Jesus to pray with us when we receive the littlest one among us who only believes in the name of Jesus (which is simply belief for the gift of repentance and forgiveness of sins as we forgive all who sin against us);

...One in knowing we receive whatever we pray for because we are one in His name, both in our own hearts, and in the hearts of all others we receive with us as one in His name, in other Christian faith groups and denominations, so we don’t leave out a single, little believer;

...One in receiving complete protection from all evil in order to make us all one in Jesus’ name for God's self-sacrificial love for all of us in the world to choose to believe in;

...One in having complete joy knowing we all are one together in His same Spirit living in us all, joy in His continual presence in us and with us;

...One in receiving the glory Jesus gave us, the glory God gave Jesus, to glorify the Father in the name of the Son;

And Jesus said that all of those various, above listed results of our oneness are parts of that glory to our Father in the name of the Son, that Jesus already has given us for the specific purpose to help us believers all become completely one, as Jesus and the Father were one when Jesus walked the Earth as a man in the Spirit, with the Spirit living in Him, which Spirit, Jesus specifically told us, is in the one Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd.

“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."” (Joh 4:24 ESV)

“27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one."” (Joh 10:27-30 ESV)

“The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,” (Joh 17:22 ESV)

By looking to Jesus on earth, we know that that Spirit living in a man looks like the One, Good Shepherd, as Jesus said He and the Father are one, in the One, Good Shepherd, who is willing to lay down His life in this world in order to help the Father in Heaven gather into one, eternal flock, starting here on earth, all of the Father’s sheep. And Jesus says we believers can all recognize as children of the Father those who are the Father’s sheep, because they will all hear and come to the voice of Jesus, calling us all to repent and believe the good news, which good news is the fact that the Father sent Jesus here for that purpose, so we can trade our sins for His holiness, and live now and forever in the inheritance of Jesus.

It is in that purpose of God for our oneness in the Spirit of the One, Good Shepherd that we now obey God in His first commandment, which is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love one another believers with our lives laid down spiritually to serve all the other believers in every Christian denomination and faith group, to help make us all one in God’s flock, which love for all believers is what Jesus says is the new commandment of Jesus, and is now part of the first commandment, to love God with all we have and are.

And it is in that way of our obedience to Jesus in the fulfillment of the first commandment of God, in which we love God and every one of our brothers and sisters in Jesus in the way the Father shows us He has loved us all in Jesus, that God now shows His own glory to the world.

God shows to the world His own glory in the name of the Son, Jesus, because, when we become one in Jesus that way by obeying the first commandment, we are also, as a necessary result promised by Jesus, thus obeying the second commandment of God as Jesus ordered that second command also to be fulfilled by us: that we must love all others in the world, including all sinners, all unbelievers, and even our enemies, as much as we love ourselves, loving them enough to show them what we wanted to know when we were still, like them, unrepentant sinners and enemies of God.

We have to do love to the unbelieving world of our neighbors and enemies, doing to them what we would have them do in love to us in their place! Which is let God show the world the glory Jesus said He already gave us believers in the name of Jesus, to glorify the Father in the Son, by giving us whatever we ask for in the name of Jesus.

In that Christian unity in the one Spirit, of the One, Good Shepherd, we show the world that we know Jesus promised us that God will make the world now to know the gospel, good news: that God sent Jesus to pay for our sins with His blood, and give us His own holiness and inheritance to live in, now and forever.

When the world sees God’s glory in our oneness in that One, Good Shepherd, the world knows that God is now giving that holiness and inheritance of Jesus to anyone in the world who wants the opportunity to repent and believe the good news of what He gives to us all. And for all us believers to become completely one in that Spirit, as Jesus and the Father are one, we simply welcome into this oneness in Jesus the least believer among us, who simply believes in Jesus for repentance and forgiveness of sins, so that the world knows we all welcome anyone in the world who wants it, to live together with us in that self-sacrificial love, and in that credited holiness in the Spirit of Jesus, all sharing fully and equally, together as one, in the inheritance of all God’s children in Christ.

That belief of ours for how we love Jesus back by obeying the things that please God most, gives us even more assurance we get what we pray for. Those two commands are the very first and second most important commands of God, so we obey them both the way Jesus said He fulfilled those commands with His own, two commands: first for us to have self-sacrificial love of all repentant, mutually loving believers, in every Christian faith group and denomination; and second, for us to do the kind of love to our enemies and unbelievers that we would want them to do to us in their place.

That is our obedience to those two commands that are most important to God and please Him the most, and is how we love God back in the way He says we can best love Him back by our obedience, so it is how we know we have God’s own promise that He will give us everything we pray for in the name of Jesus, the Son, in order to glorify the Father in the Son, in whose name we ask, as Jesus and the Father are one, in One, Good Shepherd, in whom we are now all one, in gathering all repentant, mutually loving believers into God’s one flock, starting now and bearing fruit of the Spirit that lasts forever in Jesus.

“9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.” (Eph 1:9-10 NivUS)

Prayer in the name, gospel, and Spirit of Jesus to see God’s glory in your miracle healing in Christian unity

Dear heavenly Father,

We all pray together here looking to Jesus, including some of us unbelievers here asking God for a miracle healing to help us overcome our unbelief. Also some of us here are regenerated believers praying for a miracle healing, which believers are also variously called repentant, regenerated, renewed, and born again, with the same intended meaning here that all such are our believing sisters and brothers in Christ.

Whether unbeliever, or repentant believer, either way, all of us are looking to Jesus to help us believe together for God’s blessing in a miracle of healing by you, Father, in the glory you gave Jesus, which Jesus gave us for Christian unity of all repentant believers, in a miracle you work in answer to our prayers in the name of Jesus, Father, with and through the effective work and treatments of all the doctors and care givers that may be involved.
“For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."” (Joh 6:40 NIV)
“22 "… if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." 23 "‘If you can’?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes." 24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"” (Mr 9:22b-24 NIV)

We unbelievers ask, Father, that your Holy Spirit mercifully speak into our hearts to teach us the meaning of these scriptures quoted here in order to help us pray while believing that you will help our unbelief so we can get the miracle healing we pray for in Jesus’ name and come to know you are real.
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.” (Joh 14:13 NIV)

When you grant our prayer in Jesus’ name, Father, we unbelievers will know that you are the only true God, and we promise to start believing in Jesus by turning away from our past sins, to repent and believe the gospel, meaning good news, that you loved us enough to send your Son, Jesus, to earth to die for our sins in order to give us eternal life with you, starting now, in this life, in your Spirit that you will send to live in our hearts because we believe in the name of Jesus for giving us the opportunity for repentance and forgiveness of all our sins, and we will then expect your Holy Spirit, Father, to lead us in our pledge here to seek out a Bible-believing, local Christian church that believes in the unity of all repentant believers, in order to learn more about your word at a church, and learn to obey all your commands in the Bible, including such as baptism, Father, and to worship you with other believers, and to help each of us to learn to live our life every day in faith of Jesus.
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (Joh 17:3 NIV)
“"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (Joh 3:16 NIV)
“46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Lu 24:46-47 NIV)
“But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” (Joh 14:26 NIV)
“16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2Ti 3:16-17 NIV)

For us repentant believers, Father, since we already believe in Jesus, we ask that as we read and consider the scriptures quoted in this prayer in order to help us pray to you in Jesus’ name with faith in our hearts that you will grant our prayer, your Holy Spirit will remind us of everything you have said about how to pray in your name to see the glory that you gave Jesus, which Jesus gave to us repentant believers, to receive whatever we pray for in His name in order to honor you, Father, in the name of the Son. And if we don’t know these scriptures already, we ask that your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth in our hearts, will lead us to know all that is true in Jesus about the meaning of these scriptures quoted and interpreted here.
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” (Joh 16:13 NIV)

Father, give the Holy Spirit in the heart of each of us repentant believers, to teach us the meaning and remind us of where Scripture shows that God’s greatest will for us believers as shown in the Bible, for which purpose Jesus said He gave us His own glory, such as in miracles for healing like we believe and pray God is giving to all those who seek a miracle healing here, is for us to fulfill the prayer of Jesus that all regenerated believers may be one if we each make some form of personal, spiritual self-sacrifice, however small, as the Spirit leads, to help make us one with all regenerated believers, in all Christian denominations and Christian faith groups.

Give the Holy Spirit to lead us repentant believers here together in our hearts, Father, in the shared understanding of your word for us in scriptures about our part in letting God work in our hearts to make the Church one, in order to be blessed with this miracle healing by the glory Jesus gave us to make us one in the unity of all repentant (regenerated) believers, that the world may believe God sent Jesus.

We pray together here Father with both unbelievers of the world, and regenerated believers in your Spirit, who seek here a miracle of healing in your name, and we want us all to know as we pray that because we dedicate this prayer for healing to the glory of God the Father in the Son, towards God’s holy purpose of uniting the Church composed of all regenerated believers, the healing we pray for will be a great and glorious blessing to the whole body of Christ by showing all believers, as well as showing to the unbelieving world, the glory of God that Jesus said He already gave us that we may be one as He and the Father are one.
“22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24 ¶ "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.” (Joh 17:22-24 NIV)


WE NEED REGENERATED BELIEVERS WHO ARE ONE, TO KNOW JESUS GIVES US TO SEE HIS GLORY TO MAKE US ALL ONE NOW, TO SHOW THE REST WHO DON’T YET KNOW IT’S GIVEN

Helps us Lord to look all around us in this life in the light of the words of Jesus, and realize that if we don’t see God’s miracle-working glory in the world soon, the world will continue to spiral downward, without hearing the call of the gospel, into the worship of worldly idols, the lusts and desires for money and power among men, and sexual immorality of every kind, carried down the drain with the torrent of ungodly words and thoughts that constantly flow out from the hearts of worldly people into public perception, through the great majority of communications taking place in today’s most culturally influential media, seeking popularity by always appealing to, and ever more normalizing and worsening, the basest aspects of our selfish nature; in movies, TV, the internet, and especially social media, by all of which Satan intends to keep all of society inundated with sin in our hearts in lusts for things which Jesus specifically said make us all “unclean”.
“20 He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him ‘unclean’. 21 For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean’."” (Mr 7:20-23 NIV)

Give us Father, to know that without seeing your glory in miracles soon, far too much of the Church, too, will continue to follow the words and thoughts of the world instead of uniting to follow the words and thoughts of God about how He loved the world in Jesus, but choosing rather to fall away into greater love of worldly things, into more and more official church approval of sexual immorality and false marriage of same-sex couples, as we know well over a dozen formerly-Christian groups within different major denominations have done in recent years, which was virtually unheard of 50 years ago anywhere in the Church.

We know, Father, you want those stray sheep back in the flock, and if we truly love all repentant believers, we will want them to repent again and come back, too, regardless which denomination it is, not because it is our denomination but because the whole Church is Jesus’ and we love all the members as He does.

Of course, 50 years ago, we confess to you, Father, we realize that a much higher percentage of us believers than now, wrongly believed then that those denominations outside of our own had doctrine so far from our own ideas of salvation that in many cases we taught they were not Christians we should associate with, and in some cases, not Christians at all, even though many of their members were certainly regenerated believers in Jesus Christ even back then, and still are.

For this scandal of our past sins against our repentant sisters and brothers in Christ outside our own Christian denomination or faith group, Father we repent and ask your forgiveness.

It appears to our eyes, Father, that around the time we believers started to, more and more, accept as Christian, one another repentant believers in denominations outside our own, as we have correctly begun to do in recent decades, then Satan immediately started to push hard for approval of sexual immorality in the Church in order to remove the protection we have in Jesus’ name, so evil could then destroy us before we managed to find reasons to unite in one Spirit with all regenerated believers in Jesus who have faith in His name for repentance and forgiveness of sins, which Jesus said would enable us to see His glory to make us one, and let the world see it, too, to know God is real and sent Him here, as will be shown in more scriptures throughout this prayer.
“11 ¶ I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.” (Joh 17:11-12 NIV)
“My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.” (Joh 17:15 NIV)
“"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.” (Joh 17:24 NIV)

We believers ask you here, Father, to help all us Christians all over the world to know we need to unite in understanding Scripture where the Bible says all believers should seek to emphasize our oneness in His name, gospel, and Spirit, so the world will know God sent Jesus to show the world that all repentant believers, who love both God and one another in the name of Jesus, in every Christian denomination and faith group, including Orthodox, Catholics, and Protestants, are understood by us to be our repentant sisters and brothers in Christ, dearly beloved by our heavenly Father every bit as much as we are ourselves; all given the same credit for the perfect holiness of Jesus, which none will ever earn by our own believing and doing of any doctrine greater than believing and living in faith of the undeserved grace gift of the blood of the only Holy One, holy Jesus, which washes us all in repentance when we obediently turn from sin to live in faith of His name for forgiveness of our sins, guaranteed to receive as much forgiveness from you, Father, as much as we forgive all who sin against us.

As for us worldly unbelievers, we all need to see God’s miracle-working glory now so the world may believe there actually is a God in heaven who sent Jesus to save all who will repent and believe the gospel.

As for the Church, Father, help us regenerated believers to know how much we all need to see God’s miracle-working glory now so we will all believe you are actually still willing to work miracles to glorify yourself, Father, in the name of Jesus, because we believers can and will finally start to agree to a Biblical basis for Christian unity in holiness and love of all repentant believers when we let the Holy Spirit in our hearts lead us into the truth in the scriptures that show us how.

For all the reasons mentioned above, Father, we pray that as any and all regenerated believers read what follows here, the Holy Spirit sees fit to call to their memory some of the same meanings in the scriptures as offered in the discussion below. We pray He confirms to them what we believe we may already share in common in our intent to serve the unity of the Church, the body of Christ on earth, in hopes for us all to be united in His name, in the gospel, and most especially, in His one Spirit, as Jesus and the Father are one, as Jesus prayed in John 17.

Heavenly Father, for all regenerated believers who pray here for healing, let your Holy Spirit lead them to help us pray with even more faith for them if they can agree with us in the kind of Christian unity of all repentant believers which we believe in and proclaim to seek here on our prayer group website, in the same, one Spirit Jesus gives to all repentant believers to live in our hearts: the Spirit of God's holiness and God's self-sacrificial love for all repentant believers in Jesus, including those in all Christian denominations and Christian faith groups.


UNITY OF THE CHURCH IN JESUS’ NAME, GOSPEL, AND SPIRIT DEPENDS ON OUR INDIVIDUAL REGENERATION IN OUR HEARTS, IN THE GIFT OF GOD’S ETERNAL SPIRIT, OF HOLINESS AND OF LOVE FOR ALL REPENTANT (REGENERATED) BELIEVERS

Father, we dedicate, in the name of Jesus, this online Prayer Group for all who are willing to pray for God’s love and forgiveness available in Jesus, uniting spiritually, as God’s children, in our own love and forgiveness for all who are willing to repent and claim the blood of Jesus of the Bible for the remission of all forms of sin. Bless us in our hope here to help the world to know the gospel, good news of His forgiveness that is freely available to anyone who will begin by believing the sacrifice of God’s Son, Jesus, which paid for the sins of us all. We hope and pray that all people will see in us believers, who are members of this Prayer Group, that same, loving forgiveness by us to the world, and also to one another in Christ.

We pray, Father, as we regenerated believers pray for healings, let the Holy Spirit in our hearts constantly remind us of scriptures that some of us regenerated believers may already know: that your complete healing miracle for us is promised when we confidently pray in Jesus' name, but only if all repentant, mutually loving believers are accepted by us in our hearts, as we pray, to be our fellow children of God, as already spiritually being together with us, as one in holiness and in love for all repentant, regenerated believers in His name.
“This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.” (1Jo 3:10 NIV)
“21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. 23 ¶ And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.” (1Jo 3:21-23 NIV)

Give your Spirit to help us clearly see both the holiness and the love of all repentant believers in both of those scriptures immediately above. In that last one, show us the love of all believers is obvious, “as he commanded us.”.

And when John says “to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ”, remind us that John certainly means to believe in the gospel, good news, that God sent His Son to earth in the man by the name of Jesus Christ, sent to willingly lay down His life in suffering for our sins, and be resurrected, in order to give us the unearned gift of His own, perfect holiness which God credits to all who will simply have faith in the name of Jesus for our repentance and forgiveness of sins, as many regenerated believers are well aware, is summarized in one of the scriptures of what many regard as the Great Commission from Jesus for us to preach the gospel, shown in Luke 24:44-49 NIV below.

Father, help us repentant believers remember how much the world needs to see His name hallowed and regarded as holy among us all, and holy in each one of us, in our unifying agreement that all repentant believers are spiritually together hallowed and set apart from the world for God's purposes in the name of Jesus, simply because we all have the same faith in that name; in the faith as Jesus said would always be preached in His name, to those who receive and believe the gospel, good news of how He would suffer and rise from the dead to give the eternal life He freely gives in His Spirit that the Father sends to live in us in that name, by the same, one, simple faith in His name we all have in common, for repentance and forgiveness of our sins.
“44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."” (Lu 24:44-49 NIV)
“26 But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (Joh 14:26-27 NIV)

Call to our memory again, Lord, the scriptures that many repentant believers also well know, which is that that brief reference here by Jesus to the fact that “The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day”, is clearly the gospel message that Paul defined would always be taught and faithfully believed, for both the initial and continued salvation of all repentant believers in the name of Jesus.
“1 ¶ Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” (1Co 15:1-4 NIV)

Give the Holy Spirit to teach us the everlasting truth in that scripture that we repentant believers all share together in our responsibility to also share with the world, because Jesus said that gospel, good news, of His death and resurrection to give us the gift of repentance and forgiveness of sins would always be preached in His name, everywhere, so then that means it must be believed everywhere to be in His name, and we can all unite with Jesus in telling His message to the world in our belief in that name and in that gospel together with all repentant believers in the name of Jesus.
“14 ¶ After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"” (Mr 1:14-15 NIV)

sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure
and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he

AV)
“14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God: 17 ¶ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint–heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him],
that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that
the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be
compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God.” (Ro 8:14-19 AV)

“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)

ye have love one to another.” (Joh 13:35 AV)

that thou hast sent me.” (Joh 17:20-21 AV)

Father we come by the Blood of Christ to the Throne Room,
lead us by the Holy Spirit in praying prayers for the unity
of the Church, and prayers for the Body of Christ, let
prayers of unity flow like water over our hearts and lives,
let healing waters flow over our hearts, and let revival
come.

We pray for revivals and unity to come to the city churches
in every city in all nations around the world.

“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one… that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
with me where I am; that they may behold my glory...”
“22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 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. 24 Father, I will that they
also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that
they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou
lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” (Joh
17:22-24 AV)

“that where I am, there ye may be also”
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may
be also.” (Joh 14:3 AV)

“if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit …If any man serve
me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my
servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”
“24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it
die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his
life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this
world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve
me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my
servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”
(Joh 12:24-26 AV)

“as I have loved you… that a man lay down his life for his
friends”
“12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I
have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that
a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” (Joh 15:12-14
AV)

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit”
“7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein
is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye
be my disciples.” (Joh 15:7-8 AV)

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye
have love one to another.” (Joh 13:35 AV)

“that the world may know …as thou hast loved me.””
“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)

“17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again. 18 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)

“33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye
shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come; so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I
give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved
you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all
men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to
another.” (Joh 13:33-35 AV)

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down
his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren.” (1Jo 3:16 AV)

“If we love one another, God dwelleth in us… because he hath
given us of his Spirit… And we have seen and do testify that
the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world”
“12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in
us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have
seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the
Saviour of the world.” (1Jo 4:12-14 AV)


We pray for unity, revival, and glory for the city churches
in all cities of all nations, for this is the will of God.

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