UNITY

I am Christian, I am Pentecostal, I am Apostolic... I am One with Christ, I reside in Him, and He in turn resides in me... At this current time, there are some four hundred different denominations throughout the Christian world; far too many if you ask me... How are we to win this world for God if we cannot even get out of our own way, know what I mean?? And so, my goal is, and always has been, to focus on what makes us who we are in our mission to be "Christ-Like" what is it that brings us together under the umbrella of Christianity, and that is Jesus Christ... You see, we all have something that we can learn from one another, and it's my belief that there has got to be a dialogue that allows us to break the ice, tare down the walls of division, and bring us all back together under the Blood, Cross, and Name of Jesus, it is then, and only then that we can truly win this world for God, and we can go home...

Psalm 133:1-2

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments...

I Corinthians 1:10

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment...

I Peter 3:8-9

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing...

I can go on and on and on... However, there is really no need as we all know it is God's desire that we all Love God with every fabric of our being, and in all we do, next we are to love our neighbor as ourselves... and who is our neighbor? You are, and I am... 

So, we know that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, this is the very foundation of the Christian Faith... He was born of a virgin, Mary, and He walked, talked, and taught the multitudes before giving up His life as our ransom at the age of 33. After dying on the cross, Jesus would rise again on Resurrection Sunday, aka. Easter, before once again appearing before many witnesses, including but not limited to His disciples. After 40 days, Jesus ascended into Heaven to await the moment that He shall return again in victory, but before He left, Jesus instructed His followers to wait for a sign in Jerusalem, instructing the disciples that they would receive the Power of the Holy Ghost, which they did ten days later while having a prayer meeting in the upper room...

When Peter was asked about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the fact that each man heard in his own language what was happening, Peter exclaimed that this was the prophecy of Joel, being fulfilled. When those who witnessed these events asked Peter what they must do to be saved, Peter states with excitement that each man must repent of his own sins, each man must be baptized, and each man would then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and it was then that the world was turned upside down with the wonderful truth, of the Gospel...  

Now, let us take a look at the scriptures regarding this exciting event, which is basically the founding of the church, in the book of Acts:

(Acts 2:1-4)

...And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language...

Yes, as we can see, everyone involved, everyone who was present, and everyone who received the gift of the Holy Spirit that 50th day after the Resurrection, was there in the upper room, praying on One Accord, that is in unison... You see, at that time, there was no division, no separation, the entire group was there, praying together for ten straight days... Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Disciples, and many others, totaling 120 souls were there, praying together in one accord, and in that moment, The Lord our God fulfilled the Promise, the Comforter, that is the Holy Spirit, was poured out upon all mankind. Unity, this is what we need in the Body of Christ today, titles, denominations, specific dogmas, and the rules of man should all be torn away; thereby, leaving the pure, unadulterated, Word of God as the rules by which we live. Unity, although it may seem to be impossible, is what we need within the Body of Christ; however, we must be able to accept our brothers and sisters without judging them for who the were, or where they are, unity without conformity. 

(Leviticus 20:26)(I Peter 1:16)
...And ye shall be Holy unto me: for I The Lord am Holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine...

Now, before we conclude, it must be noted that the Lord has called us unto Holiness, for He Himself is Holy; therefore, we must understand that yes, He accepts us the way that we are, but in no way does He expect us to stay that way... We, the children of the Most High God, should strive daily to shake off the things of this world, dying daily to sin and filth, only to become born again in Christ Jesus everyday. Daily, let our prayers be filled with love and praise for one another, let our prayers speak of unity within the Body of Christ, and finally, let our prayers speak of the desire to restore unity within the Body and revival in the streets... Unity, Holiness, and Prayer, these are the keys to Revival, and the ushering in of the return of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ...
