welcome
how it happened
Let's get on with it
What is the difference, Our faith, and All the others?
You and I know its about faith and grace,
it's not about legal, is it?
You and I know its about faith and grace,
it's not about legal, is it?
So, what about Jesus asking His Father to make us one?
Is that beyond our faith?
I mean there are a few 'impossibilities', in the bible that we believe, so why not,
when we were born again ........we
recall the hour you first believed.
You will remember the deep euphoria we felt in our spirit,
that monumental moment in our life, when Everything changed. When our Father revealed His incomprehensible love for us,
and for the first time in our life, we received, and believed.
Our spirit filled with joy, as the dawn of the brilliant light of God, rose up and flooded the endless darkness, that had always been our reality and horizon, not something we will ever forget.
I want to take you back there, to the hour you first believed.
You will remember at the time, as I do, that this God, His glorious light, His undisputed majesty over 'everything', was obviously so far above our tiny human comprehension. It was inconceivable that there was anything in or of this world that could come between Him and ourselves, or any one of us who have had this revelation and believe, and share in His Spirit.
At this moment I knew in my spirit, (as I'm sure you did to),
that regardless of any of our human differences and disagreements, every, and all of them paled into insignificance,
while we basked as His chosen beloved children in His unfathomable love, and breath-taking glory.
My question, dear born-again brothers and sisters in Christ,
is, what happened to us since that first hour?
How, and why did we deviate from this place,
why, when we once knew that every one of us that believed,
and put our faith in Jesus, were, and are spiritually One in Him.
However, the moment we were 'reborn' spiritually,
just like a new born baby, being born in a water-pool, the moment our new born spirits emerged into this world,
Satan's world, we were immediately immersed in an ocean of lies and deceptions, and since that first hour, we have never known anything different, since our born again spirits have been in this world.
We know our enemy lies to us regarding our faith, but we are equipped, and trained to put on the full armour of God.
With our eyes on Jesus, we are more than conquerors.
However, we have never been trained or taught to fight for our oneness, because we only got to see it for a fleeting moment,
in those first few hours before we were saturated in Satan's lake of lies, so now we don't even remember
who we really are as one.
Do you see yourself sitting in the heavenly realm next to Jesus?
Is your perspective that of a spirit that is now raised up with all other believers, in the one Spirit of Christ?
Eph 2:6
We need to, because that is exactly who, and where we are now.
Our enemy has clearly stolen our faith in who we are as one,
but we can easily take it back, and we must,
Before we are tempted to plan our next 'mission',
without our best weapon.
Lets get on with it
We (who believe) may be one, just as Jesus and His Father are one, we became spiritually one in them. Jn17:20-23
(Unless we don't believe that the Father granted the Son's prayer request)
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
you were called into the one Spirit of God. Eph 4:4
(Unless we don't believe that the Father granted the Son's prayer request)
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
you were called into the one Spirit of God. Eph 4:4
Please note, that Jesus' prayer petition was to His Father,
it was not addressed to us, He did not put the responsibility
of our spiritual oneness on us, there is nothing for us to achieve.
Our only response to this scripture is,
do we BELIEVE it, and are we walking in it, in faith?
I believe the Lord is revealing to us, in this age,
that we have had our belief stolen from us.
Why else would we be focused on 'achieving' unity,
instead of focusing on believing in faith, exactly what
the Word clearly says God has already done for us.
The pertinent question must be, does the same spiritual principle
apply to our oneness, as it did regarding our salvation?
The Lord is telling me yes, that "It was by my grace that you are saved through faith".
That we could, and can do nothing ourselves in either case to improve upon
what God has already done, apart from walking in faith.
Yet we see in both cases, that our enemy's strategy is the same, and that is to show us a false worldly 'need', (division) and he then offers us his worldly solution (unity).
For salvation, he offers man made religion, self achieving.
For our spiritual oneness, he offers man made induced unity, achieving again,
neither have spiritual power, and it's spiritual power (like nothing we could imagin)
that waits for us behind this veil, and it's power in these end times we know we need.

Righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written:
The righteous will live by faith. Rom 1:17
The righteous will live by faith. Rom 1:17
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts
Isaiah 55:9
Isaiah 55:9
The Lord told me regarding this, that Satan has been operating outside of our comprehension since the day we were first spiritually re-born, and that our enemy understands very well, the significance of our faith regarding our salvation. But now also, equally important, (which he has been hiding from us) our spiritual 'oneness' in God, and the potential grace (through faith) available to us, regarding our oneness of spirit.
The Lord said to me "Your enemy knows this well, and it is time now that My people remember everything that I did for them, when they received Christ, all they need now is to believe it".
Our enemy has been hiding this spiritual fact from us, since the first hour.
Our enemy knows it was our faith in God's Word that first opened our eyes to the truth, and it will be our faith again, that will unlock the awesome incomprehensible power in our oneness, the battle is, and always has been, for our belief.

Ps 133:3
"It was by My grace that you are saved through faith;
Eph 2:8
He has stolen our faith and focus in what we once knew, and refocused our attention onto the imperfect church in the natural? Fix that mountain, he says.
He then says, "Unity, that's what you need". Which makes perfect sense to us, and 'bingo', the army of God has lost her spiritual power.

in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus"
Eph 2:6
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus"
Eph 2:6
This is the exact strategy he once used on us regarding our relationship with God.
Before we got the revelation that there was nothing we could do to make God love, or accept us. We would try and make ourselves acceptable to Him,
via our own efforts, our pointless religiosity.
Trying to find 'unity' in the body of the one Spirit of Christ,
is equally pointless, and steals the Bride's God given power.
We know Satan is not original, we must learn our lesson from the past.
He now has us saying to one another
"There will never be unity in the body of Christ until Jesus returns".

until Jesus returns.
until Jesus returns.
Similar, but poles apart
We must not forget that the perfect Body of Christ, only 'dwells' within the physical church of the natural. The physical imperfections, divisions, and corruption is not the Body of Christ, she simply finds herself encased within its man made carcass.
We must pray diligently, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the power of God, that is only available to the Body of Christ in our faith in the spiritual oneness we have already been given. Our enemy knows the significance of our faith, and so do we,
we must apply the exact same principle to what the Word tells us God has already done for us together spiritually.

Satan cannot steal this Holy bride power, all he can do is redirect our focus away from the perfect whole Body of Christ, onto his natural church with it's problems, the 'mountain', the 'Goliath'.
Taking our eyes off of the mountain, and putting them back onto Christ's Holy Body, would reveal that we don't need to find our unity, we simply believe and walk as One in faith. The Holy Spirit longs to lead us in this, in our faith by grace.

From belief to unbelief, a drop at a time
It appears we've gone from believing on that amazing day when we first spent time in the presence of the Lord, and we KNEW, without doubt, there was no division in Christ. To here, where we find ourselves believing we have a need for unity, but how did we get here?
The Lord has been showing me that our enemy has skilfully 'drip-fed' us with tiny camouflaged lies since the very first day we were born again.
This may sound uncomfortable to contemplate, but we must remember, whether we are the most experienced and well-trained spiritual leader in the whole of the body of Christ, we know we were all spiritual infants once, digesting the milk we were being fed.

Milk
Milk
A mist of lies so fine, so subtle, penetrating, and overwhelming, yet indiscernible for us as new-born spirits, all coming at us in stealth from every inconceivable angle, into every aspect of our individual lives, including all our senses, experiences, emotions, and dreams, and particularly our subconscious. Like tiny pixels all with one purpose, to paint a picture, creating an all-encompassing theatre backdrop, designed purposely to deceive us into believing that the body of Christ has a worldly 'need' for unity.
Drowning in a fake reality, designed especially for us to lose our most powerful weapon, 'dropping' the only real giant in this land, to the floor, disabling the most powerful army ever assembled, the Body of Christ, simply by deceiving Her into giving up Her belief in WHO SHE REALLY IS.

Satan says, "unity, that's what you need".
BUT SHE HAS NEVER HAD THIS NEED
"There will never be unity in the global church until Jesus returns"
We hear it all the time from our own 'generals' and 'officers',
our most battle-hardened warriors have fallen for this lie.
Fortunately, the one thing we do know for sure, and that is
JESUS HASN'T CHANGED

Calligraphy by Timothy R Botts
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yea and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
Hebrews 13:8
We had no idea of the indescribable glory waiting for us behind the veil of faith, and so it is with this veil also. You remember before you were saved, how satan didn't want
us to investigate fully the things of God. He had a mountain of reasons for us to choose from not to investigate. Any reason, as long as we chose one, it didn't matter which one, as long as we didn't investigate fully, diligently, and truthfully, and recognize the difference between law and grace. "Focus on your (worldly) problems, how will just believing something fix your situation". It's exactly the same thing here.
As I said, satan is not original, his strategy is exactly the same while we examine this 'back-drop' or mountain of division in the natural, if you listen closely you will recognise his voice. Its the influencing of our belief that is his business and expertise, and we recall that once we opened up to the unbelievable, and forgetting everything we thought we knew, the Holy Spirit was very obliging to share more of Jesus with us, once we asked. In fact, it is His purpose, and was eagerly waiting for us to call out to Him, and so He is now. He has amazing, beyond our comprehension, spiritual power and blessings, just waiting for the bride to recieve from Him.
Let's properly investigate this purposely built satanic back-drop,
with all our heart, soul and mind.
with all our heart, soul and mind.
Look how he's using all our past negative experiences and observations, relating to local and global disunity. He has not wasted one, they are all etched and hanging up like posters, trophies, and signposts on the walls of our subconscious, constantly reminding us all of our disappointing individual global church realities, our 'back drops', the mountain.
Wherever we look, like a fine mist, we cannot get away from the vast unity problems, that each of us, and all of us are being shown, and we can all see one another's responses to it, we have all become part of each others back-drop, a bit like the
'Emperor's New Clothes'. We are ourselves unwittingly progressing his deception,
by our own actions and reactions, to each others actions and reactions, self propelling the whole illusion that we are all seeing in our subconscious.

'Emperor's New Clothes'. We are ourselves unwittingly progressing his deception,
by our own actions and reactions, to each others actions and reactions, self propelling the whole illusion that we are all seeing in our subconscious.
For example, the simple fact that we see each other 'working' for unity, tells and cements a massive story to our own subconscious, for there must be a problem because see how everyone is 'working' on it.
As if we and our siblings would miss the 1966 world cup final, (If you happen to be English) because we received a letter from the Home Office demanding an appointment to prove our British status.
What if I went to the appointment and missed the match, what would I be telling my siblings, and how would this influence their response when receiving the same letter?
NO NO NO, it goes strait in the bin, and we'd be at that match, the Home Office might say they are unsure who we are, but we are not unsure, WE ARE CONFIDENT.
We don't have to prove who we are, we are the one Body of Christ, one in Spirit with God Himself, there is no achieving to be done. When we know this for a spiritual fact, we don't need to go and discuss it with our enemy, his demons of division can't touch us, and his only option is to steal that faith, which has been his successful strategy.
Please stay with me here even if it sounds a little crazy, because if you really look at it, and see it, and the damage it's doing, you have to say that it is genius, it is the father of lies and deception at work, a strategically brilliant military maneuver, attacking and weakening the army of God as a whole from our blind side.
Amazingly, he has brought the most powerful army ever,
to relative disablement, without lifting a finger.
All he did was mess with our belief.
IMPOSSIBLE we say, it's not realistic, how could we have been deceived on such a huge scale, it's just not conceivableble, right? 40,000 denominations and all the other endless 'reasons' for disunity, that's just our human nature, just our free will getting
carried away, just one of those things, right? satan couldn't puppeteer us as a whole like that, no way, it couldn't possibly be some huge master plan of our enemy.
But are we sure about that? Would you wager billions of lost lives on it, while we toil so hard to reach just one precious soul? Because that is exactly what we will be doing if
we dismiss this out of hand, without first at least examining and asking the Holy Spirit to do what He loves to do. Which is to reveal to us a deeper revelation of the things of God, that we can see clearly in His Holy Word, once we ask Him to show us.
Are we open, WIDE OPEN to even consider the unbelievable, or closed, because if we're closed, the veil remains, and he will easily be able to deflect our focus away from him, and his 'business', and his demons will continue to scale and breach this
undefended wall.

What I'm suggesting is not easy to see from our perspective as individuals, but if we imagine we are a team against everything else, and the team is what matters to us, we will see that every form of disagreement is coming at us with one purpose, to divide the team, if we can see ourselves from this perspective we will see the truth.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph_6:12
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love
Eph 4:11-16
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love

"How can we offer peace and love to a chaotic culture, if we don't have it within our own ranks"? Nicky Cruz.
It is nothing more than simply taking our eyes off of his 'back-drop' and putting them back on our God, and what His Word tells us is the truth, in faith. We were not born-again into a 'faction', and contrary to what Satan tells us, we do not have to choose one.
We are THE BODY OF CHRIST, our denomination is not more important to us than
the Body of Christ. Denominations are man-made, I'm saying they are satan-made, and he births two new ones every day from sin, I'll show you this in a minute, but yes TWO NEW DENOMINATIONS every day, shocking, unbelievable. But as shocking as this is, the more shocking and unbelievable thing about it, is we're not talking about it. I've never heard this before, or what are we doing about it, from the pulpit, have you? Why not, simple, it wouldn't fit satan's backdrop. This is his world, and humans will go with his flow if they are not 'anchored' by truth. Yes of course we are anchored by the Truth, but it doesn't help us if we have forgotten the truth regarding our oneness of Spirit.
He says that global unity must mean we're talking about compromising our faith, or the watering down of our doctrine. Perhaps having to partner with churches with very little in common with us, or their interpretation of scripture in our opinion, is just plain wrong. Thoughts of all of us worshiping under one misguided leadership. Does any of this sound familiar when we think of walking in universal unity?

But why should it, when there is only the Truth, those who have received Christ are one in Christ, Grace, and then there is 'everything else', law, its all just 'smoke and mirrors'.
Everything else changes, evolves and shifts, but we know the Truth never changes, and we stand on that truth, the rock, our JESUS, and He is THE TRUTH. So we also know that when it comes down to it, there is NOTHING that can stand up against who lives in us.
The size of the mountain is irrelevant, it is nothing more than tiny lies built one on top of the other, slithering demons, climbing on top of each other trying to give the deceptive impression of a giant.

We know sin is at the root of all disunity in the body of Christ, and our enemy cannot make us sin. Which means he cannot make us choose one of his reasons for us to believe in his division, nor act upon it. We have to willingly choose and accept one for ourselves, he cannot make us.
Am I saying that we are being deceived and then temped into "choosing" disunity, over our natural and default state of oneness?
YES THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM SAYING, we have moved, we have been deceived into voluntarily moving away (in our belief) from where we spiritually began on day one, (the truth) as one in Spirit, giving away our natural and God given built-in power of our oneness in Christ, but only in our belief. Which then leads to our actions and reactions and subsequent outer court apparent disunity, that we and the world are seeing.
No matter how hard we work at unity, in this state of unbelief, we have no chance of success, and Satan knows it.

As I said "did you know that there are two new Christian denominations birthed from sin every 24 hours", denominations, not churches. Yet if we're serious about reaching the lost world with the love of God, surely we've got to wonder why we are not addressing this in every born again church in the land, its not just me wondering how is it being allowed to happen, listen to Nicky's heart.
"How can we offer peace and love to a chaotic culture, if we don't have it within our own ranks"?
Nicky Cruz.
Even using Satan's worldly logic, this must be a problem for any army, yet it doesn't even get a mention in our 'new recruits' training programs (Alpha) for example.
Why do you think that is, again, because it doesn't fit the back-drop we have accepted.
Why do you think that is, again, because it doesn't fit the back-drop we have accepted.
Two new Christian denominations birthed from sin every 24 hours
34,000 denominations in 2000, by 2012 there are estimated 43,000. These figures have exploded since the year 1900 when there were 'only' 1,600 denominations, which tells us that in the 112 years since 1900 a total of 41,400 new Christian denominations have been formed. This equates to over 369 per year, more than one every day. But that's not all it gets worse, see between 2000 and 2012 there were 9000 new breakaways, which equates to 750 per year or over two every day. That's two new denominations formed every day from 2000 to 2012. It is estimated there will be 55,000 denominations by the year 2025, so we can see clearly that the attacks of division on the army of God are intensifying, and this does not take into account the 'cracks' forming and already formed within todays denominations.

Do you see that when we superimpose this information over this age, world, and the effectivness of the global Church today, wouldn't you agree with me,
that it looks suspiciously like there has been, and still is, something
going on that has got under our spiritual radar?
Just like a stealthy attack on an undefended wall from our blind side, do you see that?

The enemy says, especially to the larger churches, "division, what division, there is a lot of good unity going on between churches in our town, besides we believe in unity, that's why our doors are always open to the churches and ministries around here. They are always more than welcome, they are our brothers, and we love them".
However our enemy is keen to translate those words for the smaller churches, and I assure you there will be no encouragement found in them.
Surely the biggest church in the city should have the biggest love, and encouragement for the in-need smaller churches. They would never dream of planting one of their new satellite churches right in the middle of a neighbouring catchment area, what loving church would do such a thing, leaders? Especially when all they really needed was the love and support of the 'bigger' church, led by the Holy Spirit, a helping hand on the battlefield. We have no idea how much confidence it would give to the soldiers in the smaller churches. That big love of yours, big church, share it on the front line.
We are not individual 'droplets', soldiers, squadrons , or brigades on our own crusade, we are nothing on our own, the army of God is ONE. The encouragement and love shown in your church is a powerful thing to bless other churches with, and we want the world to see and understand that what unites us, JESUS is far greater than what divides us, I know we all agree on this.

The encouragement and love shown in your church is a powerful thing to bless other churches with, and we want the world to see and understand that what unites us, JESUS is far greater than what divides us, I know we all agree on this.
It may appear easier for us not to acknowledge, or focus on the symptoms that this
illusion of division is causing, but it's obvious that our enemy and the world is focusing on it, and clearly it contributes enormously to keeping the world in darkness, and to ignore it is a massive catastrophic strategic military disaster.
It is also denial, and we know there is no healing in denial, and as the people of God that profess to represent the 'Truth' to the world, this must be very uncomfortable for us. It would be naïve to imagine that this disability of ours has gone un-noticed by the lost, we can be sure that Satan is throwing it out there like confetti for all to see, especially when we are sharing the Good News.

We can be sure that our enemy has all our individual personal measurements to all our weaknesses, even those we don't know we have, and he is a fly fisherman of a different calibre, and if we're the fish 'biting' today, he will find and offer us the perfect bespoke lure. He will keep offering them to us, until we do eventually choose one, any one 'reason' that takes our eyes away and back onto his mountain, the 'back drop', then we stay believing global unity is impossible.
BUT ONLY IF WE'RE BITING.

He is not bothered which lure, as long as we willingly swallow one, that is his only purpose and objective here, to undermine our faith in the power of our oneness, in any way, and at any cost. But it has to be with our consent, we have to choose from his colossal menu, for his strategy to work.
As I said, he can't make us sin, or choose a reason to believe it's impossible for the body of Christ to walk in her natrual state of oneness, in this world. All he can do is keep offering us lures which are reasons from his colossal menu.
But if we KNOW we are one in Christ by grace in faith, we are unimpressed, and we will see that all his lures and reasons equate to exactly the same thing. In the spiritual realm we see that they all look the same.
It is of no value to us, knowing we are one in Christ, in the same way the religious know whatever it is they know (law). By our Father's grace we then clearly see that we have nothing to fear regarding this Goliath, it is he who is really afraid of us, as one.

Obviously the truth of our oneness is irrelevant, if we don't believe it, and our 'reasons' are all individual, our paths to this subconcious conclusion have all been unique to us.
"God knows the reasons for our disunity, and Jesus will sort it all out upon His return"
I've heard this from some of the mightiest soldiers in the army, but it is untrue, the bride will ready herself. Rev 19:7

Satan is not bothered which path we took (chose), all that matters to him is that we chose one and ended up here, believing that global unity is impossible. No matter how much we love our God, our church and our brothers, if we don't know that we are one in Christ, we will be deceived from our blind side, we will eventually choose one from his inexhaustable menu that inevitably leads us to base camp.
Or, if we are not wearing our unshakeable faith in our oneness, like a rubber wetsuit, then we wont stay 'dry' for long in an ocean of reasons for believing in our own division, we will eventually accept one. If we don't know we've been ambushed, how can we defend ourselves?

How many times have we had this thought, 'God is in control, and He understands the reasons for our disunity, Jesus will sort it all out on His return, let's just focus on those all important ministries that God has called us to? Leaders we know Satan says this.

But when we settle for that, are we feeling the pain that Jesus must feel, to see His Church, His beloved bride tearing herself apart from the inside like a person 'possessed', while billions of souls are going to hell?
Is Jesus our Lord and God a bigamist, as Derek Prince asked, no, our Groom is coming for us together, His Bride as one. Where the last shall be first, and where our weakest and slowest are carried up front by our strongest and fastest, and our
priceless maverick warriors have come home, along with all the prodigal sons who will come out from the caves, just as I have. We are going home together as one, and nothing can or is going to stop us.

all things are possible.” Matt 19:26

How can any of us preach that 'nothing is impossible for our God', when refering to our own church, and at the same time believe in our heart something very different regarding His Church, I'm sure your spirit is just as grieved as mine.
We can tell our enemy that things have changed, and we will no longer be playing his game, or by his rules. We needn't be concerned by what our enemy is showing us about the apparent size of this task, because we know our omnipresent Father has already been here in this day, so we know He has already provided in abundance
everything the bride needs to rise up together in His Love. There is literally NOTHING that can stop it happening. The truth is, it has already happened, we just need to get out of Father's way and watch. His bride has made herself ready. Rev 19:7 Past tense

Let us remember now that we are not heading out to the battle here,
we are returning home from the victory,
AS ONE IN CHRIST
Then the multitudes of previously reticent foot soldiers will see the difference, hear the Spirit and rise up, coming out from within the ranks of the battalions who's generals promote their colours, before their King, that harvest is ripe.
It won't take long for the congregations to vote with their feet, if they see their leaders reject 'walking in faith as one', because the Holy Spirit will reveal to them that this message is without doubt from the throne room of God.

Disciples seeking truth will recognise the true shepherds by their example, and the old rhetoric promoting their own organization will begin to smell like sour milk.
Love your neighbouring church, ministry and denomination as your own.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition,

Walking as ONE in faith
Walking as ONE in faith
As it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him-- 1 Cor 2:9
faith always precedes proof
Before we saw the 'light' we had a lot of practical questions, like now, and just like the supernatural religious story of a man called Jesus did not look like the answer we wanted to hear regarding our personal life difficulties, and our worldly questions, the very ones we wanted answered before we wanted to commit. Looking back now we remember our enemy's strategies.
In response to his endless whispers of doubt and fear, to every single one, the answer is always the same...

Romans 8:37
Romans 8:37
We are well equipped for this journey, we can testify that God would always show up when we would share the gospel with the lost in faith, so we know we can handle the negative responses of disapproving or suspicious leaders, because it wasn't always easy sharing the Good News with the lost. But we coped because we knew it was the truth, we knew who lives in us, and we know what is at stake.
We will approach the churches, ministries, and denominations around our own with the same resilient spirit, knowing the Holy Spirit is about to do a miracle.

Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
Isa 31:4
Isa 31:4
We know where to look for our Father's truth, it's living, and it's always current for today, and it's loaded with every scripture we need, speaking deeper into a new perspective of our true oneness. I can testify first hand, that many, many Holy scriptures are about to open up for us, in a fresh, new, deeper way, regarding this word. Walking as one, in faith.
We know that after a revelation, there is always a 'new beginning', meaning that even though 'achieving unity' has always been fraught with difficulties and disappointments
in the past, we now have in front of us 'the new beginning'. Walking in faith as one, is not an improvement on the Church, it is the Bride readying herself for her Groom, it is our willingness to 'move'. We won't be a nation held back by our past any more, we're on the move, and we're going home together, as ONE...

39 Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said,
“The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”
40 And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there.
