2020: Unify and strengthen... or ... divide and conquer
I wrote this on 29th December 2019, to prepare hearts for 2020. I felt led to re-publish it for those who missed it, I trust you are blessed.
The devil wants division in any shape and form. Friendships, marriages, businesses, churches, nationalities, races, countries ... individuals, groups or communities... as long as we are at war, offended and not talking, the devil is winning.
Each of us that participate in separating things and not bringing them together in Christ have participated in the devil’s plan to constantly keep us divided... the devil doesn’t care, as long as we are not united, he wins.
A time of repentance and new patterns is needed to begin the recovery process. It’s never too late. We have all been deceived at times. The wars must end! When we lay down our rights at the foot of the cross, pride dies and the devil’s foothold will vanish. The devils power over us is directly linked to offense and pride, which separates us from freedom in Jesus Christ.
Our enemy understands the power of a united, Spirit-filled Christian Kingdom ... it’s time we do too!
1 John 3:8
the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
Through Christ we have everything we need to love those we disagree with and yet still remain unified in humility, gentleness and the fruit of the Spirit.
Nothing else can unify us except Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Body. Our motivation to stay unified is to understand that division is the enemies agenda... ‘divide and conquer’ while in Christ we should ‘unify and strengthen’. Otherwise how are we to participate in Isaiah 61 or Isaiah 58... as Spirit filled Ministers of Reconciliation?
Isaiah 58:12
“Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.
We will not always agree, but allowing disagreement to manifest into division is of the devil. Every day we are allowing the ‘pattern of the world’ to fuel our judgements of others when we have been commanded to love with His (Agape) Love.
Choose today to make things right. Don’t fear the outcome of difficult situations because you no longer have a spirit of fear but a spirit of love, power and a sound mind. With the mind of Christ we overcome the work of the devil. Not my will but yours Lord! It’s no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world. I can do all things through Him (Christ) ....
As we are preparing our hearts to enter 2020 no matter what plans you have, no matter what prophecies you’ve received and no matter how great the forecast, division will make you weak.
Hebrews 10:39
But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
Much love
