Unity is So Important~Be a Friend and Call a Friend~Dare You to Move

http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_fullinfomu.php/music_id=313780/masterid=531378001 Always Have, Always Will by Avalon released 1999.



Lets see if this works....above line is the song for today. somes up the place i am in today. Trying to stay humble after a huge trial period and feeling so light and cheerful. One must always stay on guard though, lest the evil one will sweep you off your feet. I want my feet on the solid rock of Christ, God my creator and provider of all, the Holy Spirit my counsler and comforter.

The song lyrics i could not find but is a follow up to
'Desperate" song from yesterday. Not that i am desperate but that i want to always be desperate for HIM to be in my life, First in My LIfe. I still feel at peace and have had the oppurtunity to fellowship with sisters and love them all WOW 3 in one day. now when i was struggling and felt alone not even 1 a day. Yesterday was awesome. had lunch with an associate too. pray for her as she is not herself and doesn't know why.
Time for the WORD.....

"Unity Puts Enemies to Flight" God is so amazing! Unity is what i experienced yesterday. Uniting with sisters in Christ, Praying with each one and for each one. What a fulfilling presence of "Family" and "Father God at the Head" Prayer is our strongest WEAPON! God is the Almighty, using Prayer and being In Him together creates the weapon
Pastor Brian speaks "Unity Puts Enemies to Flight"......

You will pursue your enemies, they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of your will chase ten thousand, your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

Leviticus 26:7-8 (NIV)

Prayer Focus: Do the math. God is declaring that the more united we are in warfare strategies, the greater our capacity to overcome the enemy. If the ratio simply remained one warrior defeating 20 enemies (five chasing 100), then it should follow that 100 would put just 2,000 to flight. But god is promising that 10,000 enemies will fall beneath the blows of weapons being wielded under His command. In the same way, this principle is demonstrated on a simpler level when Jesus declares, “…if two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you” (Matthew 18:19). Jesus is building the faith of the Church by teaching that the unity of even two believers is powerful in the Kingdom of God. The unity of believers in confronting forces of darkness is critical. Together we have greater capacity to see our communities released from the strongholds that hold so many in captivity to false doctrines, sinful patterns, and destructive lifestyles. By coming together to pray and worship, we are wielding the powerful spiritual weapon of unity. God promises our enemies will fall when we are united.

Praise God that under His power, strongholds will fall.
Confess times that you have struggled in unity with other believers.
Ask the Lord to give you the capacity and understanding to be unified with other believers in honoring ways.
Invite the Lord to fill your heart with the value of unity.
Invite the Lord to stir a work of unity in our church.
Pray that God will do a work of unity by the Spirit in our community with those who are true followers of Jesus Christ.
