GOING OUT AS 'ONE'

  • Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."
    John 20:21

    That is such a deep statement! "As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

  • Go beyond the fact that God sent Jesus to reach out to a lost world. Think about this....you and I are supposed to be the bride of Christ. As a married couple we are supposed to be ONE FLESH, inseparable, indistinguishable from our separate parts. ONE. As the Father sent him....Jesus came as GOD IN FLESH.....he is sending us as ONE...GOD IN FLESH.

    All that he did we can do. All he was, we ARE. God is ONE in our flesh, his power is our power...his heart should be our heart...he mind our mind and so on. If we could grasp this concept and work accordingly, IMAGINE WHAT WE COULD DO! God is a good God and He is IN YOU RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF!

    He knew the flesh was going to serve a limited, though crucial and world-changing purpose....now WE are his flesh! Move in ONE...Learn to read his mind! Learn to move in his purpose and you will begin to see power released through the POWER OF ONE!

    And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

    To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Col. 1:27

    I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels. Isa. 61:10

    The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. Luke 6:40
