"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me." John 17:20-21
Jesus is seen here praying for more than our eternal glory, but also that we may abide in unity, peace and love. He knows that united we stand strong, but divided the enemy can more easily attempt to pluck us of...f one by one. See, the enemy works best in isolation, which is why he tries to get us alone. Satan wants no positive reinforcement in our life. If he can get us to a place where we are alone, he is better able to attempt to control us with his lies. But when we know who we are in Christ and who He is in us, the enemy cannot control us because we are united with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is not just praying for our success in sustaining a powerful vertical relationship with God the Father, but also our victory in achieving a strong horizontal relationships with those He gave us to journey through life with. So let's stop assisting the enemy in isolating ourselves from one another through slander, gossip, strife and general discord. Let's remember working together, united peacefully, we are a powerful witness to the world of God's love and a threat to the enemy. Divided we cannot stand against anything. When you stand united with Christ, His glory is revealed in your life and you become a living witness to His Word. His transforming power over your life will be so evident that the world will believe that truly Christ is among the living. So continue your journey in becoming one with the Father and the Son. Don't isolate yourself, but build a strong alliance with the Lord. United We Stand!
