Unity

Ephesians 4: 3

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

I heard someone recently pray in a prayer meeting… “Lord God, send us the Holy Spirit, that this body of believers might be unified.”

Actually, that prayer is exactly backward.

The only way the Holy Spirit will come, is when there is unity in the flock.

No unity—no power—period!

Unity is the necessary component, for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to happen.

It works that way in the family, and it most certainly works that way in the church.

I remember my Dad one time, working on an old rental house he owned.

The power was not working in the house, and he couldnot figure out the problem.

What he discovered, was that no voltage would come in, because the wiring was faulty and broken, outside.

The power was ready to do the work it was designed for, but there was something interrupting the current.

Unity is absolutely necessary in the body of Christ.

Without unity, the Holy Spirit will not, and cannot work.

If there’s a power interruption, then maybe that flock should check the flow of the current.

Many churches operate that way, and waste so much precious time.

It just could be, that there is n ot any connection to the true power source, because of a lack of unity…
