Pastor John,
I was listening to a CD this morning, and in it, you made it clear that we are to be without divisions….amongst ourselves. I just wanted to repeat what you have said in the past, that is, “division is of the flesh”. If we wear everything in this world very loosely, except the holy Ghost, we will be able and EAGER to slip out of any preference or choice, that WE may have before it has a chance to threaten unity and fellowship in the Body.
But the reason that I wrote is this: After considering division, and the damage that it does, I was reminded of what this work of yours is about. This work, that we are allowed to be a part of, was founded in your father’s desire for power to unite the broken Body of Christ. The power and the truth that he received were, and continue to be, for that purpose.
Knowing that takes such a load off of the heart!
I feel like knowing that means that we can rest from being troubled that the entire world, in the main, rejects the fruit of this work. It is not for the world; it is for the uniting of the Spirit-filled scattered sheep across the globe.
What a beautiful thing we have been allowed to participate in! That is something that surely deserves much prayer and sacrifice, on our part.
