Unity is not something that will just happens, there is work to be done. Like all things we need to lay the foundation for unity with prayer and spiritual warfare.
We first need to clean the ‘space’ with spiritual warfare by binding all evil spirits that are blocking unity. We need to bind spirits that is sending out like envy and strife. After this, we need to lay a foundation of prayer. Asking God to help us with this project. Then we go over with the practical side to create unity.
We have to take care and watch and pray to keep peace between believers. One-way is to make sure that we are one in our believes. We will need:

(1) HUMILITY, that proper self-estimate—both positive and negative;
(2) GENTLENESS, that genuine concern for people in their need to be loved, accepted, and treated with dignity;
(3) PATIENCE. Patience will show itself in a loving tolerance of people (including oneself) in their weaknesses and shortcomings, but not in ignorance or encouragement of such shortcomings, since love seeks the best interests of others. Patience is also manifested in a strong desire to keep the UNITY of the SPIRIT in the bond of peace. This is not the same thing as keeping the peace, which too often implies unsatisfactory (as opposed to satisfactory) compromises. To foster true unity requires endless patience as sinful personalities are brought closer to Christ and therefore to each other.

When people are not joined it the same faith its impossible to create unity between them.

Ephesians 4:3. Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.


The foundation of the unity of the Christians lies in eternal facts, all emphasizing the oneness of God, the church, and the faith.

There is ONE BODY; the church is one church no matter how many local manifestations (including traditions or denominations) of it there may be. All churches who believe there is one God who sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to be crucified for all who believed on His name, to be saved. are part of the body of Christ.

There is ONE SPIRIT of God and not a separate one for every conflicting word of prophecy that may arise. All members of the body are called to one, and the same future, now already here in part.

There is only ONE LORD, the Lord Jesus Christ no other lord takes superiority over Him. He is Lord of the lords.

There is ONE FAITH, one correct and approved message to be believed. Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, died for our sins and whosoever believe this will be saved.

There is ONE BAPTIMSM; all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. When believers are baptized into Christ Jesus they descend with him “into his death” and are “therefore buried with him” and have died to sin. This is the water baptism where the person be immerge in water and rise with Christ.

There is only one God and one ordinary ceremony of beginning belonging to the entire church. And it all comes back to and indeed issues from the fact that there is only one God in the universe, who Has created it all and whose presence and power fill it all. Only on this foundation of unity, eventually to be found in the unity of God, can the unity of the family possibly come to reality.

Ephesians 4:13. Till we all COME IN UNITY OF THE FAITH, and of the KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, unto a perfect man, unto the MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, Tossed to and for, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But SPEAKING 5HE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the WHOLE BODY FITLY JOINED TOGETHER and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.


COME IN UNITY OF THE FAITH – Please make up your minds what you want to believe and stand on your believes. There is only one correct way to make up your mind and it’s by the word of God. Don’t be misled by people, churches or traditions. If you are uncertain about anything ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth. You will be amazed by how quickly your prayer will be answered.
COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD – Find out what Christ really did for YOU on the cross. Get the full revelation of how Jesus paid the price for your sin and shortcomings. To what extend. I always tell people that there will be sinless people lost forever. When a sinner comes to repent their sins are forgive – past present and future. Jesus paid it all. Only one reason to miss it all is as if you ware lukewarm.
GROW UP INTO THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST – Even if Christ paid it all and we stand under His righteousness, we need to walk, talk and live as Christ did. We need to be as a tree planted by a fountain – full of good fruit for other so come and rest and eat. Our minds need to be renewed by the word of God.
TO BE TOSSED TO AND FRO, shows that we need to have on the full armor of God so that we can stand on our doctrines

We need to speak the truth in love always. Help those who are caught up in wrong believe and help them to grow into the word.

If we can persevere in all above we will come to the point to be joined in unity. Unity gives us power and we need power in these last days for the end time task.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfections.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Love - the bond of perfectionisms, for this is the bond of union between Christians, which knits and cements them together, so that they are perfectly joined together, and are of one mind and one heart: it is the bond of peace among them, of perfect unity and brotherly love; and a most beautiful and pleasant thing it is for brethren to live and dwell together in unity.
John 17:23 I in them and You in Me, that they may BE PERFECTED IN UNINTY, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
Jesus already intercedes for us to be in perfected unity. THE REASON: - Unity amongst Christians is proving for the world that God sent Jesus. It also proved that God loved us.
Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity
Many souls can be saved through unity between Christians. Lets work side by side in unity to make use of every drop of blood that was shed on the cross, for sinners to be saved.

I intentionally ignored this post when you first posted it because I wanted to see how much time would go by before someone actually read this.

You have said you worked hard on it and indeed I see you have. This is one of those pieces that have a true anointing.

The first thing out of your mouth (or should I say fingers, lol) is profound to say the least and we could build a year long disussion on it.

[qoute]Unity is not something that will just happens, there is work to be done. Like all things we need to lay the foundation for unity with prayer and spiritual warfare.[/quote]

I think that is exactly what needs to be done here. I think there must be more prayer in, by, and for this forum and for all the people here.

I believe there should also believe there should be a joining of the hands and closing of the ranks and a Jerricho March done around this place.

If you will post a prayer of cleansing and claiming, I will stand in agreement with you and we will lift this place daily in prayer.

There are some good people here with lots of love and it is solid stuff to build a foundation with.

I thank you for your heart of love and concern. This is indeed an awesome work, and I will have more to say on it.
