Unity in the body of Christ is important. Our Heavenly Father spends much time talking about this and about the love we as members are to have for one another. In Acts 10 God shows Peter that whatever He makes clean (or righteous) we as men have no right to declare unrighteous. Peter is told to eat unclean 'meat' yet it wasn't truly meat that the Lord of Heaven was truly referring to in this vision. We learn in Acts 11 that even though God had ordain that Peter (one of Jesus's chosen) lead Cornelius and his household to Christ, Peter still had to defend his actions to other Christians upon returning to Jerusalem. Each of us as Christians are part of a whole. We are a part of the body. However, ask any Physician if each piece of the human body exactly matches another? The answer is No. In John 15: 5 Jesus stated that "I am the vine; you are the branches." Yet does each branch look the same? Look at a Tree growing tall and mighty with age. It will have many branches coming from one huge trunk; yet not one branch will be exactly the same as the other. We as Christians must come together now. We must unite. Our Father is calling us to stand together now and remember Him. He did not ordain a name. I am sorry and beg you to forgive my abrupt approach to this but I must speak this. God did not give some to be called Baptists, and some to be called Lutherans, and others to be called Catholics and still others Church of Christ, and more to be called Protestants...or Paulin's or any other names that we have come up with sine the beginning of the First Century. Nor did Christ say anyone was better than another. What Christ did say can be found in Mark 9:39"Do not try to stop him, because no one who performs a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say evil things about me." Luke 9:50"Do not try to stop him because whoever is not against you is for you." These statements were made to Jesus's disciples because they had tried to stop others from casting out demons in the name of Jesus but were not 'part of the chosen' few. Why is it that we are still trying to fight among ourselves as Christians instead of trying to help spread the Great news that Jesus paid our debt and we now have mercy and grace that can be ours if we will only accept it? Yet we are so busy infighting that we have literally allowed the agnostics and other governmental types to quietly move into our great nation and take over our foundation. Do you not believe me? Open your eyes. Look. Our Heavenly Fatheris already prepared to remove His presence from our nation within our children's lifetime. Is this what you want? I have seen it coming. It will be worse than before. Our nation will be split apart from within. War will be visited upon us but not by others. Your children will see it as will mine and it will be in our own streets, our own cities, and by our own countrymen. The civil war will pale in comparison to the true nature of what will be, as the Communist and Socialists fight for control of this country. Religious freedom is not allowed under those regimes.
I am asking that all those who read my blogs please pray and pray mightily that our Father will move strongly to help us get His message to all His children awakening them them to the danger. That we may yet change the fate that He has set for our nation. I have prayed that all our neighborhood congregations would come together this coming election year and pray. That all the leaders would stop arguing long enough to select one Godly man from among each of them. That they would all then anoint that man with oil, and prayer, and fasting. Then have all the Christians write-in that man's name on the ballet as the Representative and another as the Justice of the Peace, and another as the Sheriff and so on...electing Godly men as our leaders who will not put themselves first but their Lord first. In this way, perhaps we may yet truly show our Heavenly Father that we are determined to correct the path of our Nation and once again move it back to a Godly Nation. Then with prayer and patitioning He may relent and not mete out the punishment that He has ordained for America.
Amen. I pray that we all come together. Matthew 18:20 (NIV) says, "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." How much greater would we be with all of the denominations together in Jesus name? So a few forefathers created a nation under God supposedly, what if a whole people created a nation under God? That nation could save more souls than have been saved in all of the history since Christ's exit. Lord, how great and awesome you are. I pray that you touch these people's hearts and band together in Your most precious and holy name. I pray for this blog's continued success that it may bring unity to all Christians. We will have ample opportunities to argue and bicker with each other after we have reached out to all the corners of the world starting with our very own nation.
