Towards Oneness Of The Body

 

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:34).

"that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me." (John 17:21).

"until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (Eph 4:13).

It is God desire to have his body united as one, and he is surely going to get what he desire. The scripture as above, "so that the world may believe that you have sent me", shows that God desire to have this oneness here in this age. No, his plan is not to have a united body only after the world has ended. He wants his body to be one before this world ends, and he will surely have that. It is so easy to look around and doubt if this is possible, in fact the Church have even given up on the idea that we can ever be one. But there is nothing too impossible for God to do.

Mike Bickles prophesied, "The Lord simply said, I will change the understanding and expression of Christianity in the earth in one generation. It was a simple, straightforward statement, but I felt Gods power with each word as I received the Spirits interpretation. God Himself will make drastic changes in Christianity across the whole world." (Extracted from Growing In the Prophetic).

Rick Joyner, a major prophet of God in our age prophesied and said, "A revolution is coming to Christianity that will eclipse the Reformation in the sweeping changes that it brings to the church. When it comes, the present structure and organization of the church will cease to exist, and the way that the world defines Christianity will be radically changed. What is coming will not be a change of doctrine, but a change in the basic church life. The changes that are coming will be so profound that it will be hard to relate the present form of church structure and government to what is coming."

A drastic change is coming to the body of Christ, something that will totally utter the way we do Church. God will change the whole of Christianity in one generation. He has done it before, and he would do it again. It is not impossible, it is not even new. Change is constant, don't look around you and begin to think things will always be like this. No, things have not always been like this, and it will not always been like this. This is not how we have been doing church before. 

During the first century it was difficult to imagine that Christianity would ever become popular in the Roman empire because of the persecution. Yet, Christianity not only became popular, it took over the Roman empire. That was a crazy twist to the story the early Church. It was a drastic change. At another point in the Church history it was difficult to imagine that anyone can ever break free from the Catholic Church. Many had tried but were terribly crushed. But then the great reformation came, a drastical and unprecedented change.

Change have always come and change will always come. There is a change coming, God wants to utter the whole structure of Christianity in one generation. Denominationalism have not always been here, and will not always be here. It was a change that came and utter things and brought denominationalism. Another change  will come and utter things and remove denominationalism. That is how time works—something is here today and tomorrow it is not. So another structure is coming, one that is different from denominationalism. A structure that will truly make the body one. We have been prophesying about this for decades now, and now it is unveiling before our very eyes.

This structure that is coming will allow for diversity to be able to abide in unity. Yes, we will be diverse—as the riches of Christ are unsearchable and infinitily diverse—yet we will be united in our diversity. Denominationalism is diversity without unity, but this coming structure will allow both diversity and unity to coexist harmoniously. And God is releasing apostles with the blueprint of this structure. These ones are coming to pull down structures and lay a foundation according to the blueprint given to them. They will set up this new structure. I am talking about unrelated men who have never seen each other before, coming from their different secret places with the same blueprint in their hands as handed over to them by God.

This is not one man's design, this is God's work, this is God's will. A change is coming and it will bring us (at least those of us who are serious about Christ) into oneness.
