Come together

 

It's time to stop longing
and
start living.

It's time for
a transformation.

It's time for
a transfiguration.

It's time to
bring heaven to earth.

Oh the glory of being transformed
out of darkness and into the marvelous light,
out of a spirit of division and into one of unity,
out of a spirit of hatred and into a spirit of love and
into the kingdom of His dear Son! 

This is my prayer for this coming New Year, this acceptable year of our Lord;
that we may identify one with another on a level in which we never have before and in this identification may we find unity. 

And in this unity may we continue to
manifest the blessing and
bring heaven to earth,
so that God's will be done on this earth, the same as it is in heaven.
May we have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to us,
The Church.

A few words from the apostle Paul:

Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:1-3 NIV)

Through the Holy Spirit we understand the mysteries and the purpose of this age. And each of us are called according to His purpose for
The climax of the ages,
This Age of fulfillment,
This Age of Transfiguration. 

"He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring
UNITY
 to all things in heaven and
on earth under Christ. (Ephesians 1:9, 10 NIV)

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.. (Ephesians 1:11 NIV)

 

Each of us was designed as delicately as an intricate piece of a puzzle. Each of us were given gifts unique only to our design. Each of us are called to step into our specific gifts which are given only by the Holy Spirit. 

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 

There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 

There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. (1 Corinthians 12:1-7 NIV)

To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, 

to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 

to another faith by the same Spirit, 

to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 

to another miraculous powers,

to another prophecy, 

to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and 

to still another the interpretation of tongues.
 

All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. 

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. (1 Corinthians 12:8-14 NIV)

It's time to
Identify
and
Unify
the Church so that "the gates of hell cannot prevail against it."

A house divided against itself, cannot stand.

It's time to
Come together.

It's time to become
One body with
One head.

It's time to
Bring heaven to earth.

It's time for
God's will to be done on
this earth, the same as it is in heaven.

It's time for
the acceptable year of our Lord.

It's time for the
Age of Transfiguration.

It's time.
