“I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me that they may be one as we are one; I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” John 17:20-23
My Precious One,
I am more than your God. I am your Abba and as your all-powerful, loving Father, I have the ability to go wherever you go. When you invited Jesus into your heart, we accepted the invitation; committing to never leave you or forsake you.
As your loving Father, I am here to empower and strengthen you.
In our family, we have many members—your brothers and sisters in the faith. As much as I love you, I love them. As hard as I fought for you, I fought for them.
When the rest of the world is entrenched in darkness and confusion, I empower my children to work in unity and love. This is very different from world around you. This unity entails support, encouragement, healthy admonition, prayer and hearts that are willing to serve each other. The spirt woven through the fabric of my family is love; the same spirit Jesus operated from. This untainted, unselfish, unconditional love is so supernatural, it goes against the nature and laws of this world; proof you’ve been re-born into another Kingdom. The world becomes lighter when you obey me and there is a radiance and glory in that obedience.
It saddens me when my children listen to the lies and temptation of the great divider. Walls of offence, and bitterness are erected when they do. When you feel anger and division rising up inside your heart, address it and give it to me. I’ll walk you through it and show you gentle victory.
I don’t want any to perish or be deceived and when my children defend me in a spirit of judgment and self-righteousness they become blinded by those spirits.
There is freedom in trusting me. When you come to me, I will open your eyes and touch your heart to see things from my perspective—if you ask. This takes self-control. Many of my children refuse to give me a moment when they’ve decided to become the judge. I alone am the Righteous Judge. I see everything from an eternal perspective. Why not turn to me for wisdom as you walk through relational landmines? I am pursuing the lost with my love. How will they know you are not of this world when you allow the god of division to rule in your heart? Let me show you the wisdom of the king of the Universe. I want nothing more than to share everything I have with you.”
