Better Together

I so deeply desire for unity in the body of Christ. The emotions that come with that expression came gently washing over me a few minutes ago as I was slightly reconnected with an old friend via social media. She is overseas doing Kingdom work and it was so beautiful for me to see the Lord's hand print in her life. In that same moment though it took me back to a moment when a big part of my universe was flipped upside down and I was deeply hurt by several individuals that I cared for. I am so thankful that I can finally say that my heart has come full circle and the Lord has healed me of that very nasty emotional wound. However, I was moved by the compassion of the Spirit in that moment as I longed for all of us, as brothers and sisters, to look on each other with the same kind of passionate love that Jesus gazes at us with moment to moment. He longs for us to love each other deeply and to stop fighting over each others birthrights (Jacob & Esau)! Don't you know that the very same God who wrote my days in His book and exquisitely designed a perfect and flawless will for my life (that yes we have a choice to submit to) designed the same for you! We don't have to strive after what doesn't belong to us! Don't you know that by operating with a counterfeit intention you end up with an illegitimate part of His plan that actually believe it or not will NEVER satisfy you! (& ultimately He should be what fully satisfies anyways..His promises are just His incredible expression of love to us as His children). His plans are for you just like they are for me. I don't need your God given destiny, in fact I don't want it. I want and desire what His heart is for me! But don't you know that if my God, who is GOOD, has incredible things in store for me..then guess what..the same goes for you! My Father doesn't run out of good things! There is NO lack in His Kingdom!! 

Brothers and sisters may we please operate in grace and love and passion for His throne! We have no time for bickering, and envy, and insecurity. The Kingdom is here and the Kingdom is now and there is work to be done!! We can get so much more done together than apart! Our battle is NOT against flesh and blood (Eph 6)! I know that is hard to comprehend but I can promise you that once you receive Holy Spirit revelation on it you will no longer desire to gossip and come against the people the Lord has intentionally placed in your life to walk in community with you..but rather you will learn how to war against the spirits and principalities operating against them as individuals and against the Kingdom as a whole.  His love is sweet, His love is pure and it covers us. Stop keeping this treasure to yourself. There are plenty of individuals that have heard His name but have never ever seen His love. Let's change that. Let change it together. 

"Two are better than one, because that have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up His fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him- a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

And to those of you that are going through a rough patch..Just remember there are more for you than are against you! Let me know ways I can pray for you:)
