ONE WITH THE LORD
“I pray 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.... I have made you known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” John 17:20-26
Bone of My bone and flesh of My flesh. This is the intimacy of the relationship I am taking My people into in Me. They shall be one with Me. They shall be joined together with the Father and Son and the body shall be joined to the head. I am the head of the church and in this day, says the Lord, I am hooking up the body to the Head and every part of the body shall function as it should. No longer will there be strife and jealousy, but each part shall come into submission to each other and the Spirit of Life shall flow through the body into each part and the life that flows is the life of the Son.
A fresh wind is blowing across the nations and in the breeze is the quiet voice of the Lord. Those who have ears to hear are hearing what the Spirit is saying to the church in this day. Keep your ears open for the Lord is about to reveal the hidden things of God. All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord and all the earth shall join in and worship at the Lord’s footstool. There has been no other day like this. The Father has seen fit to acknowledge Himself to the nations in this day. Great and mighty is He and there is no one who can compare. All the inhabitants of the earth shall know of His greatness. They shall stand in awe of His deeds, for as far as the east is from the west, the sins of the people shall be removed and the Lord’s healing virtue shall flow freely to the nations, and the hearts of the people shall be renewed with love and adoration for Him.
There is a sound going forth. It is the sound of the gentiles filing into Zion, the Holy Place, the place of God’s presence. They are coming from the north, the south, the east and the west into the presence of the Lord and they are not afraid to enter in, for the love of God is wooing them in and they are being drawn by the Father’s great love for them.
Look to Me. Do not look to man for approval, but keep your eyes on Me. I am the one you need. I am the one who can change you and make you into the likeness of the Son. As you keep your eyes and affections on Me, you shall be changed into My likeness. As you surrender all at My feet, as you forsake worldly passion, you shall be changed.
As you let go of dreams and aspirations, I will carry you high above the things of the world. You will dine with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and you shall become like Him in attitude of heart. You shall enter into a depth of awareness of the presence of the Lord and the anointing shall flow forth from you in all that you do, for it will be the Lord who ministers life to others through you.
You cannot comprehend the extent of influence you will have, for it is great and cannot be comprehended by the mind of man. As you lean on Me and put your trust in Me, you will enter into the fullness of the Son and you will be used greatly of the Father in this hour.
Be faithful. Do not lose hope, for your God shall come and He will rescue you from times of trouble. He will keep you from stumbling. He shall keep you in perfect peace and you will be in awe of the work of My Spirit through you in this day. Just remember that it is nothing of yourself, but it is I who will work through you.
Like the gently falling rain, My presence is being released in your midst. My Spirit is flowing in this day and barriers that once restricted the flow are coming down and a blessing is being released into the streets, reaching those who once were included in the blessing but left the Father’s house for the world. In this hour I am reaching out for them. I am using My faithful children to reach them, to encourage them back into the Father's house.
