In these days of division and war, I am calling My Bride to demonstrate the way of love and unity. Resist feeling overwhelmed by what is playing out on the world’s stage. The enemy is inciting the world to hatred and rage, but I came to draw ALL men to myself. I am the great I AM. I am God enthroned, the Sovereign One. My Kingdom is an eternal one and it will remain.
The time has come for the Body of Christ to be completely healed and to break the partnerships with the spirits of religion and division. Deal with the little foxes – the small issues – that would cause offence and bitterness to remain. Prayerfully and intentionally break down the barriers within the wider Church as you seek opportunities to be a blessing to individuals or other parts of the Body of Christ in your community. Work together for the sake of the Kingdom. I am calling My Bride to walk in the beauty of purity and holiness.
By demonstrating unity of heart and purpose, and by surrendering your lives to Me, your King, you will bring great glory to Me and transform hearts in the process. So, love where you are, and love well, and do not underestimate the power of My love
Activation: Take time to spend with the Lord and ask Him to reveal if there is any offense in your heart towards another person or group. When He shows you these things, repent, forgive, and open yourself to receive a fresh outpouring of His love for both yourself and the other person. Ask the Lord to help you come up with a plan for how you can show love to that person or group in a practical way.
“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His[One and] [a]only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.

[a] John 3:16 Jesus, God’s only Son, the One who is truly unique, the only one of His kind.
until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].
Ephesians 4:13 (AMP)
Unity of the Spirit
1 So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation],
2 with all humility [forsaking self-righteousness], and gentleness [maintaining self-control], with patience, bearing with one another [a]in [unselfish] love.
3 Make every effort to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace [each individual working together to make the whole successful].
4 There is one body [of believers] and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when called [to salvation]—
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of us all who is [sovereign] over all and [working] through all and [living] in all.
Ephesians 4:1-6 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Ephesians 4:2 The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for another.
