NEW STUFF [past links- verses below]
The power of one-
In Genesis we read the story of Babel [verses below] - men
came together in unity- and were going to build something [tower] that God did
not want.
Yet- because of a common language- they could not be
stopped- God himself said that.
Genesis
11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do.
So- God confounded them- he gave them different languages in
the midst of the project- and the tower project ceased.
Genesis
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may
not understand one another's speech.Genesis 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
This is a type of the Power of One- the power we see in
society when people come together with a common ideology- even if it is wrong.
Today we are dealing with radical Islam- Ok- we know the way
they are attempting to accomplish their goal- is wrong.
Yet- we also see the western world- in a more subtle way- accomplish
their goals- by siding with nations that are just as wicked as those we are
killing.
These nations [Saudi Arabia being just one] murder homosexuals-
treat women like dogs- yet
The U.S. sells them weapons- to kill innocent people.
This is happening in Yemen as I speak.
I could go on- but take my word for it- this too is a wicked thing.
Yet- because we have common alliances [unity] we too
accomplish bad things.
But they are not as blatant as chopping heads off in the
street- so- we think the ‘tower’ is a good thing.
In reality- it is not.
In Acts chapter 2- God himself restores a common language-
thru the Spirt of God being poured out on the church.
Acts
2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?Acts 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Acts 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Acts 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
This significance of this event is not simply the gift of
Tongues [language]
But the purpose of God- thru his people- to sanctify A NOBLE
UNITY.
The church speaks with one voice- we proclaim the gospel to the
nations.
We stand as a light in a dark world- showing a more ‘perfect
way’.
The gift of a restored language seen in Acts is God showing
us that he himself speaks thru the church-
And his voice transcends all the ‘languages’ of man.
His voice thru the church is not political- it is not about
ungodly alliances- it’s a show of love and great sacrifice thru the Cross.
We- the people of the living God- have climbed a different
tower- we ascend to the presence of God thru the Cross.
51 And he
saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. John 1:51
The Cross brings humanity back to the Father.
We are a heavenly city- coming down from God out of heaven.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband. Rev. 21:2
We walk the earth as followers of Christ-
We display the love of God by having a greater agenda- a kingdom
agenda.
Yes- we speak out against injustices in the earth- on all
sides.
And it is thru the Cross- thru the instrument that our Lord
himself hung on- that we can unite-
And once again- the power of ‘one’ can overcome the darkness
of this world.
John 17:21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they
also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Note- Please do me a favor, those who read/like the posts-
re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read them on. I deal with
issues at times that it would be beneficial for some of you to download and
save the file from the Word Press link. This creates a permanent record. The
on-line videos are only good if sites are not hacked- which has happened in the
past. Thanks- John.#
