Unity

In prayer with friends the other evening, as we were praying for the city and asking God to show us what and how He wanted us to pray, I saw a picture of many people standing close together holding onto a fishing net and pulling the net to shore with a great catch of fish. I sensed two things: the fishermen know they need each other if they are to pull in the catch and they know the season when the fish are in the area ready for the catch. I believe this is a picture of the unity of the body that is needed to bring in the lost. Our unity will come as we realize our need for each other founded on the bonds of Christ's love.

During the worship during that Sunday AM service, I had a vision of many believers ' hands (from many different nations, colors) rising upwards, in prayer, praise and worship, intercession; as they kept lifting them up, I started to see the arms as well. As the vision progressed, the arms/ hands were becoming like a strong cord, the way a cord is twisted/ knit together tightly. This was becoming the very strong root system of a tree I have never seen before. I saw this huge tree growing, in the vision, so strong and so tall it was reaching up to heaven.

I saw the power of unity in this: one accord, one heart, one purpose, was coming to me. How I would love to paint this picture! The next thing I saw was the tree becoming a Mountain. It was beautiful. In Acts, we read the accounts of this kind of power of unity in the Body of Christ and its outcome. KJV: Acts 1:14 / 2:1 / 2:46 / 4:24-33 / 5:12, and so on.

God showed me the scripture Colossians 3:12 as a part of what He's doing: "Therefore, God's chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also you must forgive. Above all, put on love - the perfect bond of unity. And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body control your hearts. Be thankful."

I've been asking Him for grace to walk in this type of relationship with those we love around us, our family, church members, neighbors and new people from near and far. The Moravian Text I read on the internet email for today was I Chronicles 16:35, "Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us, that we may give thanks to your holy name."

There's currently a fight between fear and faith to believe the Lord for the redemption of our relationships to walk in the fullness of the love and unity that He has called us to with Himself and each other. His sweet love and Presence has been releasing such a sweetness of fresh grace of loving community in some recently. The enemy wants to discourage and convince us in our minds that there is no hope for some of our relationships and either cut us off, or others, and that it's normal to have that go on! The Lord is gathering us together so we can align with Himself and each other to function in love. I'm asking for revelation from Him that will help us do this, and to help us to sort through the places we've been trying to join with to find the ones that are truly His doing, the places where our hearts are at rest with Him and each other and we "fit."

On Sunday morning, July 22, 2007, we had some Inuit sharing at our Sunday morning service. An Inuit woman had a vision. First she saw a wall breaking and falling. It was really loud as it fell. After that she saw a black wall on the earth and throughout the waters. And as one part fell, all the others stared to fall (like dominoes). When the wall had fallen it seemed like there had never been a wall (no bumps or blocks). After that she saw many people from different back grounds (which were separated by the wall) starting to gather. They had a deep longing from their hearts to see each other because for many years they were separated by the wall.

Tonight I saw in my spirit a huge hand come and gather "those who would" and "those who will" (that is what I heard/sensed). Then I heard in the spirit something from the 3 Musketeers, "One for all and all for one".

On Sunday I felt the vibration/sound in the spirit and it said “ONE" and I felt that we were to resound "ONE" (re-sound) A coming into agreement with the Lord. The battle for the church (Body) FIGHT! The fight for the awakening of the church! Those that have not heard the trumpet call.

I saw a "V" of Canadian geese. The older/wiser one was leading the way and then when the older ones got tired the youthful ones began to take over. Endurance, perseverance, fight, courage! I saw as we moved that as some laid down their life that the others "leap frogged” over them farther than they had been before. It was a constant moving forward, no matter what happened!

The trumpet call had gone out; those who have heard the call are preparing themselves for battle. (Israel crossed over the Jordan ready for battle) There were giants in the land, but that was NOT stopping them! The army was advancing in "leaps and bounds". There came upon them the endurance to run the race and to finish. That even if their life was laid down that they still received the prize anyway. No fear! No stopping them!

The army is one of stealth. Silently running. They came upon the enemy quickly. There is a "mustering" station being set up in the spirit. (Muster means: to gather; to assemble) A mustering of the troops...those who have watched, those who could "see", those who could "hear" (like Gideon's army)

Time to fight for our sons, daughter, our fathers and mothers!! Heard the call ... CALL FOR THE ONE! Right now I "see" calm waters and eagles circling overhead. BUT, there is a dissonance in the spirit. (Dissonance means: lack of agreement; mingling of discordant sounds; a clashing or unresolved musical interval or chord; inconsistency between the beliefs one holds or between one's actions and one's beliefs). Time for the coming into the ONE!

I've had a vision in my mind for the last couple months. I see dark cloud all through the sky. In the middle of this cloud it starts swirling and it starts opening up. Until recently that was all I had, and then a couple weeks ago something was added. From the opening something came rushing down and out, like large streams of light. That same Sunday a few other people share similar thoughts and visions. One woman said that when the glory of God falls it will be over a vast expanse, not just locally. One of our deacons, Gary, said that He saw a picture of a huge wave moving across the earth, something that looked like an atomic blast. Yesterday I got an extension on that. I saw sand all over a desert floor and the same blast going out over the surface. The blast was so hot that it fused the sand together into one smooth sheet of glass. I believe that when God really moves here, it will be so hot that the Body will be fused, not just bound, but fused together in perfect unity. I've had a burden for seeing Canada returned to its righteous roots for a couple years now, but I didn't know what that would look like. I think a huge part of that answer is the Body united.

I woke up this morning at 4:00 a.m., and I kept feeling that it was so important to have unity, and no conflict in our midst. The song that keeps singing in my spirit is "Jesus in your Name we pray" especially the part "Lord, give us grace to follow you and glorify Your Name. Your Name, is a strong and mighty tower, Your Name, is a shelter like no other, Your Name, let the Nations shout it louder, 'cause nothing has the power to save, like your Name".
