Unity

"My prayer is not for them alone.
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


Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for answered prayers. You hear when we ask! The weather was perfect for the graduation! It rained and stormed the night before and rained that night and the morning after and even got cold last night, but the time of the graduation was sunny and comfortable!

I also thank you for your presence at Net Worship Live! It was anointed with the oil of your presence. I pray that the church (all believers) would see the importance of being one and in unity. The revival brought 11 churches together to worship. NWL brought not only multiple churches but multiple denominations together to worship. Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday. Pastor Scott talked about those who were in the upper room at the birth of the new testament church. They were in one accord!

I am convinced that we are walking in the last days! I pray we will see the importance of being in unity, so that you can raise up your army to finish the work that needs to be done before you come for your bride. Satan will be pulling out all the stops in these last days. Divided we will fall, but united - he cannot defeat us!!

An army has many soldiers. Each has his own job or task, but all come together for the same purpose. I pray that each of us would come to understand the purpose of the church and learn what our role is in that purpose. You have given us the glory - the same glory that was given to Jesus so we could be one with each other and with you to let the world know that you love them and provided a way for them to salvation!

Speaking of salvation! I thank you so much for Bruce. He told me yesterday that he was saved last Sunday and testified yesterday! His son Tyler was saved on Easter. I pray that you would be with both of them. Help them to get in the word and grow roots deep into rich soil, so that when the wind blows, they will stand firm in their new faith. I pray they would grow quickly into mature believers. I pray they would never forget the burden that has been lifted from them. I pray Satan would be bound from them for a time to allow them to grow. I pray they would be a witness to all those around them.

Thank you Lord! Continue to draw all men to you!
In Jesus Name,
Amen
