prayer for unity

[lonnienord]

LORD GOD, all knowing DAD, YOU are our joy!! Your children are quarling again (still) Sunday morning we hear that we are all important parts of your body; but we don't act like it. No wonder it is taking so long to establish your kingdom. We have no hand-eye cordination when the eye is Catholic, Anglican, and Luthern (we're cross-eyed) and our hands are Methodists and Salvationists, our feet are baptist and pentecostals (and we are tripping ourselves up). (At least our belly button is Budhest and our noses is Hindu.)

LORD, we need your help. Help us find ways to work together so we can extablish your kingdom here.

all for JESUS!!

Paul prayed that the body might come into the unity of the faith:

Ephesians 4:2-4 (English Standard Version)

...with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call...

Ephesians 4:11-14 ((ESV)

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Many scriptures lead me to believe that we must achieve this, as an act of our will (not our feelings, but a true decision to be obedient) through faith, in order for Jesus to return to His prepared Bride.

This will be accomplished through the power and working of the Holy Spirit within us individually and as the body of Christ, when the body sees that we are united through the Spirit within us. No longer are we waiting on God to fix the situation: It is up to us.

John 16:12-14 (ESV)

"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Jesus prepared the way, completed His work here, and sent His Spirit to guide us into all the truth. We must receive His gift and the promised Holy Spirit to begin to work together again, this time for good, this time for the building up of the body of Christ, for His glory.

1 Corinthians 6:17

But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

Acts 9:31

So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.

I join with those here now, in the prayer for God's children to grow in spirit and in love for each other. May we all receive the unifying power of the Holy Spirit now, for the advancement of the Kingdom and the glory of God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Peace, Saints.

Jesus also prayed for us that we would be one in John. How powerful a prayer is when it comes from a righteous man, and this being the Son of God. He prayed exclusively for me, thank you Jesus. God bless.
