A priceless gift of love from
a groom besotted
by His bride

We know that our Father, who being outside of time, has already seen this day. We also know that He is more than perfectly able to provide for the needs of His Bride, if she were to take possession of, as she is destined to do, the land that God has already given to her. Which is as we know her inherent and unearned unity and oneness, her today's Canaan.
We might not see how, in the natural with all those giant reasons for division, that it is even possible, but we know that He can. And our trust is, and must be in Him.

"I long to see the day when Christians everywhere rise up in unity to once and for all ask every person on the planet to bow their knees before our merciful Savior. That would be a day humankind would never forget - the day Jesus' followers came together with one heart, one mind, one spirit, and one purpose: to release one holy fire upon the world"! Nicky Cruz

We have been praying for this for decades and longer,  why then should we have any doubt, or be surprised that our Father would, and has answered our prayers at this time?

Division may have been a problem for us in the past, but we're certainly not saying that Jesus hasn't done enough on the cross for us, are we? No we're assured that He most certainly has, and we know that He does not leave us here abandoned or incomplete, on the contrary, and we know He has never left our side.

He has instead we believe delivered the most magnificent gift for His Bride, and it is exactly what She needs right here and now for Her to be and do, exactly what she is destined to be and do. He has given us His very best as He always does.

Freely He gave. (past tense)
Or do we believe today, that for the Body of Christ to stand together as one in this world, as Nicky Cruz describes, we must continue looking upwards, praying for a miracle first to rain downwards on us?
We believe that we know in our hearts that we do not have to do that any longer, because we're already in possession of everything that we need to take the land. Our prayers have already been answered before we even asked.

A priceless gift of love from a Groom besotted by His Bride.
Not what we need,
But what we already have, it is finished.

......................................................................................................................................................

When Jesus said "it is finished" I believe He placed something here in this age for us now, something so powerful and far more than we dared to imagine.

We believe Jesus gave us His gift when He said "It is finished", but we were always supposed to find it at this time, just before His return. 2000 years hidden in the corner covered in cobwebs, aging in the dark like the best  wine.
Time for maturing and intensifying, not it, but us, our desire for it.

We always knew it was there,
it's clearly proclaiming itself throughout the Bible, the Word of God. Jesus is emphatic about it, as Paul also is. But it's not until now in this age just before His return, that it seems that His Bride will see and accept His gift, out of His love, in the way He intended us to. Gratefully and humbly receiving our unity from Him, bowing to the revelation that we cannot earn or achieve our unity, any more than we can earn or achieve our salvation. Hallelujah

I believe it is our Grooms engagement gift to us with all His love, and as always it is exactly what we needed and so much more, and exactly when we need it, as always, His perfect timing.

Imagine receiving the revelation today, of until now an inconceivable transformation in the comprehension of the power now available to the universal Church, that has been veiled until now.
Something like the universal Church being born again as a whole, with the revelation that she does not have to work to achieve her oneness.
She just has to receive in exactly the same way we received our salvation individually, along with the incredible heavenly gifts and spiritual power that were bestowed upon us, when we finally stopped trying, and let God.

Wow, if only that were true,
but it just can't be, can it?

In our inner courts we are one in the Spirit of Christ, we have no doubts about that.
It is the outer courts that the world is looking at, that has proved to be an enigma, the mother of all conundrums. Even the talk of unity can bring about discord between the brethren, that is if we allow ourselves to engage with the liar.

I believe he fears the threat of the potential in us so much, that he whispers to us even now, some rubbish about this all being impossible, and if not impossible, then it's just 'irrelevant old news', depending on your view.
But either way, whichever it is, we can be certain his intention is exactly the same, and that is to, all but nullify the potential potency and power of the Church of Christ, and bring his darkness upon the world in the most efficient way he can, without our united interference.
