As I have been doing my devotions, God has really been revealing quite a lot of deep things to my heart. I was reading 1 Corinthians 1:10 "I appeal to you, brother's and sister's, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought." Right now there are so many denominations and so many divisions within the church that we are not seeing the breakthrough that we need to in order to impact the world around us. We are so focused on how we are different we have forgotten that Jesus Christ has united us together. If the church started operating in the same mind, then God would be able to do great and amazing things. Look at the church in Acts, people were healed, delivered and set free regularly. I believe it was because they operated in unity.
What if I took it another step further. What if God wants us to not only be united in thought but in heart. God has been challenging me to look around and see what being untied in heart looks like. I have been in churches that have either been united in heart or in thought but rarely both. The ones that have been operating in both are hard not to want to be a part of. What is it to be united in heart, I believe it is the church having a unified passion.
What if we took it another step further. What if we were not only united in thought and heart, but united with God's thoughts and God's heart. WOW! What a thought. If every single Christian in the world was united with God in thought and heart and every single church was united with God in thought and heart, think about how that could change the world. Now I know that right now some of you are already saying it can't be done, I believe it can. It starts with one person uniting themselves with God's thoughts and God's heart and sharing it with another. It starts with one church operating with the heart and mind of God, then it is up to God to do the work. I have seen what unity does and it is powerful. God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways, don't we want higher, don't we want better? God's heart is true love, God's thoughts are constantly on us. It is time to unite ourselves with God and experience true unity and watch as the world around us begins to change.
