True community comes from communion with Me. As Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one, Our prayer is for the church to be one with Us and one with each other. One church under the rule and reign of Jesus Christ. As you each commune with Me, I will reveal Myself to you. As you commune with each other, you bring your part to the table. As you unite as one, you reflect My glory. The gifts of My Spirit are released and My glory revealed.
Unity commands the blessing, therefore, seek to be one with Me and one with each other. Honor one another above yourself. Honor the least, those who cannot repay you. Find ways to use your gifts to serve the body of Christ, for each one makes up the whole. Each one is unique and glorious, from the least to the greatest. If you want to be great in the Kingdom of God, learn to serve. Be of one mind and one accord and thereby represent Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for the world will know you because of your love for one another.
John 17:21 The Passion Translation (TPT)
I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, Father, are joined together as one. I pray for them to become one with us so that the world will recognize that you sent me.
Acts 2:42-44 The Passion Translation (TPT)
42 Every believer was faithfully devoted to following the teachings of the apostles. Their hearts were mutually linked to one another, sharing communion and coming together regularly for prayer. 43 A deep sense of holy awe swept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 All the believers were in fellowship as one body, and they shared with one another whatever they had.
Romans 12:16 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Live happily together in a spirit of harmony, and be as mindful of another’s worth as you are your own. Don’t live with a lofty mind-set, thinking you are too important to serve others, but be willing to do menial tasks and identify with those who are humble minded. Don’t be smug or even think for a moment that you know it all.
Ephesians 4:16 The Passion Translation (TPT)
For his “body” has been formed in his image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in love.
