UNITY: If we’re hungry for more of God.. more of the Holy Spirit moving in our midst.. more of His presence and power in our gathered times.. we need to give ourselves to unity at a whole new level. I’m still learning so much about worship and how God moves, but I know this: it’s NEVER about HOW MANY people are in the room, it’s ALWAYS about the level of UNITY in the room. Numbers don’t matter to God like they do to us, but unity DOES matter to Him. Greatly. So much so that scripture says: “there (in unity) the Lord has COMMANDED the BLESSING, life forevermore.” Ps 133.
I dream of a coming day when the gathered church won’t wait for the stars to align, the angels to sing, the worship leader they wish was leading, the songs they wish he/she was playing, or the perfect “worshipful” mood to strike.. before they fully engage their heart, mind, soul and body in sustained, unified praise. When we truly understand we don’t need to know all the songs, care for the style of music, like the worship leaders voice, or even SING… to posture our hearts in UNITY with those around us and glorify Jesus.
Unity starts as an INTERNAL posture- an individual choice we must make. And I can’t help but sense that if we just do something as simple as determine in our hearts, before we set foot in the building/meeting, to RESPOND and ENGAGE, in the spirit of unity, for the glory and honor of Jesus… something explosive will happen.. a river of His blessing will flow.. I’m also convinced that if we selflessly posture ourselves in this way, we will find the deep, personal longings of our hearts met in the most unexpected ways. ❤️
