WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT #1

SF, Stagecoach, NV

IF WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT
Why Aren’t The Churches,
ONE IN Unity With Him?

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT #1

     Do you ever wonder why we call each other, in Christ, Brother or Sister?  It’s because we follow the same God.  It doesn’t matter what denomination you are, but that JESUS is your LORD.  When you accept Jesus, ALL receive the same SPIRIT to guide, teach and comfort us.  
     He’s our Helper, who is with anyone that’s in Christ. 1 John 2:18-27 guarantees that, verse 18 lets you know He’s talking to you and verse 27 explains your anointing “And as for you, the anointing which you receive from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.”
     There will be many who will not like this topic, but the Holy Spirit has laid it on my heart to ask the Christians WHY, we’re not accepting and joining forces to stand up against the worldly forces of evil.  Not all churches feel this way, but many do, we still need to work on the UNITY OF THE SPIRIT!
     My pastor David, with the Assembly of God Church, has invited different denominational churches in our area, to join us in our potlucks as well as, the monthly Men’s Breakfast Fellowship meetings.  He always goes to the Pastors of that church to invite them.  So no one would think he’s proselyting.    That’s the farthest thought from my pastor’s mind.  Because he has such a heart of God, he just wants to fellowship together in one Spirit as the Word says in Jesus.  Even at the Men’s Breakfast, different pastors or men from other churches will teach – what the Lord lays on their heart, no matter their denomination.  Whether saved or sinner all are welcome.
     My bible study has three different churches involved and I only teach what the Holy Spirit has lead me to teach, and it’s always about JESUS and His Word, never man’s doctrine.  Which many of you realize, I don’t teach anything except how to apply His Word in our lives.  That to me is what fellowship and His Words are all about, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE).  How to develop FAITH; treat your neighbor as yourself, HOPE (and in my case hope I did it right-hehe), and the greatest of all is LOVE one another, for it covers a multitude of sins 1 Peter 4:8, which we always need help with.
     Have you ever wondered WHY, we have such division within the churches?  The twerp (satan) through thousands of years has increased his knowledge of the Word – I believe he recognized, he needed to study the Christians more closely to see how they acted and by listening to what they were speaking, to understand more, after his defeat with Jesus, by trying to divide His House.  For as we all know, a house divided WILL FALL (Matthew 12:25 & Luke 11:17) Jesus even put it into His Word twice, it was that important.
     We as Christians have access to all sorts of knowledge/understanding through books, CD’s, DVD’s, TV Evangelists, computers and other media – that teach us “how to” and the blessings we receive when we do it God’s way.  What does the Word say about the twerp?  In John 10:10, “the thief comes ONLY to steal, kill and destroy.”  First he tries to steal the Word from you, if that doesn’t work; he’ll try to destroy your understanding, so you will not believe in the Lord.  Note, the twerp can no longer kill, since Jesus took the keys of death and hades from him.  Yet he is able to cause sickness, disease, accidents and division.  All to separate you from God.

John 17: 10-14 NASB

10  "And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be ONE as We are.
12  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13  But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
14  I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”
  Think about it....

Blessings Your Sister In Christ,

The Lord’s Servant – Sandy F.
