Unity In The Body Of Christ

2019-01-15 | 🔗
In this message, Victoria will teach there is a commanded blessing when we have unity. The Bible says when believers dwell together in unity, “there the LORD commanded the blessing—life forevermore” (Psalm 133:3). We need to fight together for our faith, not fight with one another about our faith! It is only the love of God that brings people to the arms and saving power of Jesus Christ.God is saying it’s up to us to keep in unity and the bond of peace. That tells me that you and I must watch our words and attitudes and walk worthy of our calling under the blood of Jesus and stand humbly in God’s righteousness, not our own “rightness.” We can break the power of darkness and show people the irresistible love of the Father!

Hi. This is Victoria. Thank you. So much for downloading this podcast, I believe got, has got amazing things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message, but the other guy Angola. Now we need to get out a little bit. It was in the evening and a lot of times will go right, bikes and yellow exercise. So we thought well, let's just get on our bikes and let's go out and see how far we can go we're using. A certain path that we take. So we had it out in that direction and we get to this one, the inner section and it's a large doorway intersection with light governing the cars. But when we got to this main intersection, we saw that there was about six policemen out their overriding the lights
They were actually moving the cars through the intersection, letting the people go safely through the intersection and, as we were waiting our turn out. Was looking from a distance, and I was noticing those officers and I thought to myself: isn't it interesting that they can be far apart? They're moving the cars through, but their working in such unity together and they got this communication is their working together and I could see that their major goal was this. To move. The people through safely so the traffic will flow and to keep everyone at peace. Now you know, through this flooding we ve had detours all over the city and the traffic is horrible
These guys were literally move in this traffic through keeping peace, road rage. No, no road writer that intersection. Nobody was tell it anyone how they felt with hand sides, because those officers we're doing such a good job. So I stood there amazed and our realised the string in that whole process was unity. Communication working together! That's why the traffic was flowing and the people were safe and it was a peaceful situation. You see we, the church of the living God should have the same goal. Work in unity with one another debate under the same bond of peace. You see our main goal should be to move peoples,
I fully into the arms of Jesus. You see, the traffic was a difficult situation, but because they had the Bela tee to unite together that difficult situation, made easier. Can you imagine if one of those officers send you? No? I want mark this card to go through. I know I don't want to wait. My turn. I like this green car. I wanted to go through what would happen if the other one was going. Well, no, I want mine to go through, but you know what they didn't. They put themselves aside and they stood in unity. You see that's what we have to do as it charge, if we're going to rise up to the levels that God is calling us to we're, going to have to put our selfishness our pride, our own agendas aside, and so
we're gonna come together in unity under the blood of Jesus Christ through the bond of peace. When going was taken. The children of Israel out of Egypt, the night that he was getting them prepared the pass over. He instructed them to take a sacrificial layer, any instructed them to sacrifice that lamb and to take that blood and put it over their door post each family took the blood of the land and put it over their door post
he instructed them to prepare themselves because in the morning they were leaving Egypt. It was going to be a mass exodus of the Faroes hand and his army. This was it. This was it. The power of the enemy was gonna be broken, but can I tell you one thing: you know what they were, what their common bond was. You why they were able to escape the power of the enemy, the thing that brought them together, the sameness, the one as it was, the Was the blood over the door post that distinguish them as the army of God, ass gods, great people And allow them to me
bad of Egypt. It was the blood that part of the Red Sea. It was the power of one this in their life. You ve seen Charlton Heston, split, the red, save you ve, seen the movies think about it. It was millions of people bound together, millions of people with different opinions, different likes and dislikes different habits, but there were bound without once likeness that oneness and it was the obedience to the blood
We, the church, had the blood of Jesus Christ and if we will stand together in that oneness of Christ, God will continue to part red seas. For us here will continue to build cities, restore families bring in the loft. He will continue to do what he does best ready in the light of mankind. You see the Bible says in saw one thirty, three It says whether a unity there is a come, ended blessing, as already commanded the blessing under the blood we the command and blessing. If we're gonna make it through these difficult times. We need to stand under that commanded blessing we made to not by with each other about bay. We need
together for our by and for the four he sea, cod is a faithful guy. We must stand together in the Spirit. Let your differences go. That's not what's gonna, say
but that's not what's gonna bring people through the arms and saving power of Jesus Christ. It's the love of God. It's the blood that he gave his sad. That makes us wine together. We can fight together for the fate of the scriptures says that, if it's as far as it is up to us, each one of us is far as it is up to us. We are to keep the peace. We are to be reunited in this spirit by the bond of peace guards. It is up to us to keep the peace through. That tells me that I have a big part to play in all this, that it is up to me. I don't have to getting caught.
It because a bomb in the middle of conflict as a choice. I can either be in the conflict and be the conflict or I can be the peace in the conflict, and God is saying where various please there's power, because unity in peace go hand in hand. They can't be separated when you are united under the blood you can have peace because God has the final say you don't stand in your own righteousness is then in God's righteousness, under the blood, listen he's right! Every time he's right every single time, and you know the scripture tells us and Bolivians Put on the full armor of God, and it talks about the different things that God has given us to use to stand against the schemes of the enemy, the one that we try to separate us cause us to back by to devour ourselves to God, new, don't devour yourselves.
Don't talk about, each other, don't argue with one another: Europe implode. You will do it to you since stand in oneness under the Spirit, and it talks about one particular garment and it's the shoes. Standing in the shoes of peace to. The people want to stand, in the shoes of rightness. They want to be right and stand in, for what is right. Can I tell you you don't need to stand for what's right. If you stand in God's right, Mass god I'll make you write, he'll make you right, it's not about whose right anyway, it's about. What's right, it's about the blood. Listen God is the one. Who's gonna, bring this whole thing around, hey, it's not as if, if you do that,
So you say that its wonders in Jesus Christ took it encourages, has a church body to not get into line in civilian affairs. We are the army, the warrior Jesus Christ. We got a greater commission, we got a higher calling, God is a faithful god, and can I tell you he wants to use you and he wants to use me. To usher in the greatest revival, the biggest Healy active Goodness so far, and he wants to use us, don't fall prey to the enemy, don't fall into the trap of the enemy. Don't allow him to steal your commanded blessing
This in our homes should be united. We should be united with our spouses, with our children. Listen at the end of the day. We have one God, one father, there is one heaven not provided there is only one, and I want to tell you I don't know I've been met, thirty years- and I can tell you that goal- and I agree on everything- absolutely not but I'll- tell you at the end of the day we're standing in the shoes of pace under the Lord Jesus Christ we're going to let him fight our battles for us we're going to. Let him make our wrongs right and we're going to stay and unity of the Spirit with the bond of peace and we're dedicated more than ever, because as leaders of this, we have a responsibility. This isn't the time the NIT picking
John other design. You should have done it, that's why I told you, so it is the time to keep our mouths shut to stay in peace, unify ourselves for our children, our charges community it so much bigger than us. Listen let your kids off the hook be upset and be loving beacon, instruct them, but don't break their bag, break them power in darkness. Over there lie you don't need a break them as long as you're. Standing under the blood. You can break that power. A dark and you can show love an irresistible love of the father, I just wanna pray for us right now, because this is the time we gonna get serious. We wake up, we got,
take charge, you know the beauty of God and the beauty of Christ. Jesus in his sacrifice was that we can always come back and reapply the blood. When we make a mistake, when we say the wrong thing, we don't have stay there. We don't have to spiral down here, we can come back and we can apply the blood and guess what that blood still snakes. It still forgive it still regains its still clan. It still makes US writers. I just want to pray right now for unity and our community, our families are churches and in our land bother.
