Sanctified and United

Jesus never intended for the Church He is building to be divided into groups with different interpretations of Him and His word. In John 17 He prayed for the Church He is building to be one with Him and with each other. He knew that the gates of Hades would try to divide and weaken the Church. Therefore, prior to praying for us to be one, He prayed for us to be sanctified with truth (John 17: 17). Will you allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify you with truth?

There are a lot of voices in the world and in various churches crying out for your mind and heart. Will you seek God until you know Him intimately? Will you study Hs Word under the teaching of the Holy Spirit until you are sanctified by truth? If people all over the earth with do so, great godly change will occur because the result will be a Church formed in the image of Christ and united in faith.

Note: There is a world of difference in coming together because of being sanctified by the Holy Spirit and truth, and trying to come together because of worldly principles such as agreeing to disagree and being constrained by some list of essentials that prevents true unity even if those essentials are taken from the Bible. These principles sound good to the mind of reasoning but ultimately lead to bondage and not freedom and will never result in true godly agreement and the fulfillment of our Lord’s Prayer no matter how positive the results may seem.

Prophetic Words of Restoration (April 2011)

Have a Blessed and Happy Resurrection Day! Thank you Lord Jesus for being our Passover. (4/24/2011)

I find it very interesting that many of those who do not believe in present day prophets of God are strong advocates and proclaimers of end time prophecy.

Those with ears to hear are hearing God's voice because He is constantly speaking by His Holy Spirit and by His Word. Those who want to Hear Him must learn to quiet themselves and listen. (4/14/2011)

Our heavenly Father is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:23,24), but many parts of the church don't know or understand what worship in spirit and truth is. First of all, it is so much more than singing hymns or choruses! Secondly, singing can be a vital part of worship, but much of the singing that is taking place by Christians is not an expression of true worship. Let's learn to be true worshippers!

Let's humble ourselves before God with attitudes of worship. He is holy! Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! (Rev. 4:8)(4/12/2011)

As God has stated in His Word there will be more and more earthquakes,and not just in Japan. Will the leaders and people of Japan wake up and turn to the only true God (Jesus Christ)? Will the people of the world wake up, especially in the United States and most of all in the various parts of the church? (4/11/2011)

A merry-go-round can be a lot of fun, but doesn't really get one anywhere. Where are disciples who will wake up and get off of their religious merry-go-rounds and will study the Word of God until they are free from wrong church doctrines and are sanctified with the Lord's truth? (4/10/2011)

No one will ever come to full spiritual maturity without being given to prayer, prayer with the spirit and with the understanding. The restored remnant Church will be made up of men, women, boys and girls of all nationalities who are given to prayer. (4/09/2011)

And that very hour He cured many of illnesses, afflictions and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight. (Luke 7:21)

Every Christian and every church is to be carrying on the ministry of Jesus. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12) (4/7/2011)

Contrast the wisdom of God with the wisdom of man. For example, God tells us that there will be more and more earthquakes and man tells us that they will build more and more nuclear power plants. (4/4/2011)

Let's all learn to pray and live by faith which means all of our prayers will be prayers of faith. (4/3/2011)
