1. The Power & Importance Of Unity
In these troubling end-times, we find
ourselves with a very strong need, to build up
the UNITY with-in the body of Christ, or
the Church.
We need today, more than ever, a kindred
Spirit of Love & Affection, working one
toward another, so that we may shine forth,
the message of salvation, to this evil, & lost
generation.
We should constantly be working toward
Maturity, Knowledge & Growth, And
the only way to accomplish this mission,
is to Come together, without, all the
unnecessary garbage & trash of the world.
The first thing we need to understand, is
That The bible explicitly warns us, that we
cannot, serve two masters.
2. (2)
Our minds should be completely settled
on who were going to serve, & there's only
(2) to chose from, the Lord, or the devil,
For the bible tells us to ( to chose you
this day who you will serve)
The book of Acts tells us that),
The Early Church continued steadfast in
the apostles' doctrine, in fellowship, in
breaking of bread , & in prayers.
And All That Believed were together,
& had ALL Things Common.
& it went on to say), That they
continued daily with one accord, Praising
God, & having favor with the People,
-- & the Lord added daily, such as should
be saved.
When God's people come together in
3. (3)
One Mind, & in One Accord, miraculous
things begin to take place.
---- When The Power of God begins to
operate,--- People begin to Shout For
Joy---- The Gifts of God begin to work
---- The Zeal of the Spirit begins to
Witness ---- There's no schism, back-
lashing, Jealousy, wondering why the pastor
don't give me any attention problems.
---- There's nothing but Unity & Love
one toward the other.
In PS) David say's, ---- Oh how good &
pleasant it is, when brothers live together in
Unity.
Jude tells us) To Earnestly contend for
the faith, --- Speaking of the common
salvation, or Mutual salvation ----
4. (4)
Also warns to) --- Earnestly contend for
( The Faith) which was (Once) delivered
unto the saints.
He also warns Of Spots that appear in
our feast of charity ---- Which are people
who feed along beside us or ( come to
church with you when invited) who feed
without fear,
---- These are clouds with NO water,
carried about of winds, without fruit,
twice dead, & plucked up by the roots.
These are those that can) -- break the
Union of believers.
So we must build ourselves up in our
most Holy Faith ---- & pray in the (H.G.),
---- Standing Fast, & Holding to the
traditions which we've been taught.
5. (5)
The bible speaks of the ) --- The Great
Falling Away, that will come to those who
--- Received Not The Love Of The Truth &
how the Lord will send upon them a ----
Strong Delusion, that they shall believe a
lie & be damned.
It's time for UNITY) ---- For God is
now counting us --- Worthy Of Our Calling
& expects us to --- Receive The Good
Pleasure Of His Goodness, ---- So that we
may ---- work Our Faith With Power.
Oh, We want unity, but there's some that
just don't want to obey & come together.
Well, The Bible tells us to) ---- Be
Not troubled, But to rest with HIM, For
with a flaming fire, will he take vengeance
upon them that know NOT God, & that
obey NOT the Gospel.
6. (6)
It's the (H.G.) that binds us together ----
& teaches us to understand Unity.---------
We First need to know ---- That it's Jesus
who holds ALLAuthority, & that we
must, abide in HIS doctrine ---- Why? ---
Because it's his spirit that leads us into ALL
truth.
In the Carnal world, we can see
the different degree's of maturity &
knowledge, But in the Spirit World, there's
MANY degree's also, & there everything a
person needs, & it all comes with the
( H.G.), God's free gift.
& when the (H.G.) is operated
correctly, a person can become something
that he never knew he could be.
Now we know & understand that
Everyone HAS to do there part---- & we
should also understand, that there is No-one
7. (7)
greater than the next with God. &
most of all, ---- We must know that Jesus
Will Not Operate, where there is
Confusion or Disorder, ---- So EVERYONE
has to come together.
Looking at the Pastor, --- He should be
regarded with the most highest of our
respect, for he has been given from God, the
responsibility of his people
------ & The Pastors Wife -- the same,
if not even more, for she is the one who
holds up the man of God.
The people should NOT become
Clannish, or have this Click where
certain people come together, thinking that
there better , or more religious than the
others, for this WILL divide a
congregation, & destroy the Unity, which is
8. (8)
a necessity. We must all work
together, for the betterment of the body,
with everyone working with ALL the
fruits of God's Spirit, which is maintained
with prayer & uplifting.
There should
be NO Grieving the Spirit, & No
Quenching of the Spirit, for this Grieves
the Lord. ----- But Everyone should Bond
Together, Working toward one single goal,
which is to be prepared, for when the
Bridegroom comes for his Bride.
We should NEVER untie the tie that
binds. -------- For, What so-ever God has
put together, let no man put asunder.
This scripture pertains not only to
marriage, buy for everything.
Nothing should separate us from the
9. (9)
love of God which is Christ Jesus.
The only person who can allow
separation to come is man himself.
SELF)----- Cannot, & will not,
EVER, Please God, without First,
Allowing God's Spirit to Lead & Guide
Self, unto ALL Truth.
(STORY) Two men were on a bicycle
built for two, when they came to a big steep
in the hill. --- It took a great deal of
struggle for the men to complete what
proved to be a very stiff climb. --- When
they finally reached the top, the man in the
front turned to the other & said, boy, that
sure was a hard climb. ----- The one on the
back said yea, & if I hadn't a kept the
brakes on all the way, we would have surly
rolled down backwards.------------- Unity is
10. (10)
working together toward a single goal,
& that goal is ------ To -----Prepare the
BRIDE OF CHRIST ( US )for HIS
SOON RETURN.
Repentance ----- Must Be, an everyday
occurrence, For were NOT guaranteed
tomorrow.
Eph.) Tells us) --- That we must make
an effort to be in agreement with one-
another, for if were NOT in agreement,
were separated, & if separated, then
Divided, & we know that Nothing divided
can stand.
The Union between husband & wife is
sacred, & should be guarded with the up-
most attention.
11. (11)
But the devil who's out to Steal, Kill,
& Destroy, could care less about all the
hurt & pain that's associated with the
separation.
For if allowed, He will destroy the
Union between you & your friends -------
He'll destroy the union between your
earthly family, & your Spiritual family
& he'll even destroy the union between
You & God
Yes Love ties the knot, but sin can untie
everything God has joined together.
This is why the bible tells us to come
out from among then, & be ye separate.
12. (12)
The Drunk will ask himself, How did I
get this way
The Drug user living under the bride
will ask himself, who did this to me
The father or the mother who's
abandoned their family will ask, What have
I done
& the Soul who once ate from the table
of righteousness will be crying, Lord, Lord,
can I come home, I'm sorry my savior,
Please take me back.
& the Lord in all his Love & Mercies
will say, ------- come here my child, & let
wipe away all those tears,
----- Let me hold you, & tell you
everything is gonna be alright
------- Come, let me clean you up &
make you all a-new again
--- Come let me feed you, it's super time.
13. (13)
The Bible tells us to ------ Be ye
separate, & to come out from among-st
them
For---All Things Are done to the
pleasure of His Will, ------- So lets not try &
swim upstream & make unnecessary waves,
------& disturb the Will Of God, For HE
WILL Accomplish what he started out to
do.
So for now, ------- We speak the
Truth in Love, Until we ALL come to the
Unity Of The Faith, & to the Knowledge
of Jesus Christ. -------Leaving our own
ideals, & Lining up with the word of God.
------- Lest we put his word, & ourselves to
an open Shame.
14. (14)
2-Cor.) 13)5----- Examine yourselves,
whether you be in the faith, Prove your own
selves, Know you not your own selves, how
that Jesus is in you, except you be
reprobates.
Finally brethren, farewell, be perfect, &
be of good comfort, Be of ONE Mind, live
in peace, & the God of Love & Peace shall
be with you.
----- Greet one another with a holy kiss, And
may the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ &
the communion of the (H.G.) , be with you
all. A-men.
15. (SCRIPTURE)
1st Cor.) 12) ----- For even as the body
is one and yet has many members, and all
the members of the body, though they are
many, are one body, so also is Christ. For
by one spirit we were all baptized into one
body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether
slaves or free, and we were all made to
drink of one spirit.
Unity) simply means --- Oneness
Paul is telling us, that even tho we may
be different, our functions in the church
should bring us together.
The (H.G.) is the only power that can
bring all people together, from any part of
the world, & unite them.
16. The prayer that the apostle John
prayed in (Chap.-17) – shows how much is
depending on Unity, or, the people all
coming together.
The function of the church is for all to
come together, & operate, as a fine tuned
engine, in order for the (H.G.) to do it's
work. But if there is conflict & disunity,
the (H.G.) will be limited in it's
operation.
The devils #1 purpose in
the church is to sow disunity, & to cause a
spiritual mess of everything.
------People wouldn't want to associate
with each other, or, they'd be always
looking over there shoulder to see who
might be staring at them.
Roms.) 16)&17---- urges us to keep an
eye on those who cause hindrances contrary
17. to to the teaching which we have learned.
& to turn away from them.
1-Corn.) 3)&17 ----- tells us, -- That if
any man, destroys the temple of God, God
WILL destroy him.
& in (Prov.) 6)&18 ----- it tells us, ----
That if there's one thing the Lord
disapproves of, is ----Those Who who
spreads strife among brother.
In the book of Acts) --- 3000 people
were saved in one day, because the people
were ----- of one mind & one accord.
So we can see how our job as Christians
is to preserve the Unity that God has given
us.------- WHY------ Because it's gonna take
more than one person to get the lost into
18. Heaven.
So we to be diligent, making Unity our
First priority, ---- Preserving the Unity in
the bond of Peace.
When a person is on a Cruise Ship,
everything is done for um, ---- There cloths
is washed & ironed ----- There given eight
meals a day ----- Everything done on that
cruise ship is to pamper the person & let
them decide how much fun they want to
have. -------- This can become a problem in
the Church, because the Church is a Battle
Ship, not a cruise ship. ------ & when a
battle ship engages the enemy, the call that
goes out is,------ All hands to their called
duty.
So, we can see how important Unity is
for the Church.
19. Unity as Paul described it is, Perfected
in Love, & only for those in love with Jesus.
