That’s where the Lord commands the blessing!

Unity is a powerful thing. Psalms 133:1 states: Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Verse 3 says: For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore. Wherever there is unity around the purposes of God, resurrection power is released. One can chase a thousand; two can put 10,000 to flight. The Lord Jesus said: wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in My Name, I am there in their midst. There is power in unity when we pray together; when we gather to worship God together on a Sunday service; when we pray together; when we serve our community together. God is pleased when His people unify around His purposes. there is nothing that we can’t do when we come together in the unity of the Spirit. 

Ephesians 4:13 – till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

We are part of His Body!

In John 17, the Lord Jesus prayed to the Father that we would be one, just like He and the Father are one. This is God’s will. We are part of His Body. However, many in the United States are only interested in what others can do for them. They don’t care about others. They are not interested in helping anyone else. They are not interested in being part of His Body. This selfish mindset has even crept into the church. Many go to church to “get blessed.” They are not interested in serving in the church, or helping others, and just as long as the church “helps and blesses” them, they will attend the services. We need to turn away from this mindset, and catch God’s heart for His Body. If the Holy Spirit lives in you, this truth will resonate with you.

Ephesians 4: 4-6 – There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in [c]you all.
