Together we can; One Vision One Voice

In these last days if we desire to see the glory of the Lord then each house/church must be on one accord. Like never before we must pray for the spirit of our leader, whether its your Church Pastor or ministry leader. You are under that particular covering because you believe and trust the God in them so it should be your desire and earnest prayer to walk in the same spirit as your leader. There is a lot of shifting and shaking in the body of Christ, those leaders who don’t obey the Spirit of Christ in them are being removed from position to make way for the obedient ones. God desires to move mightly in these last days but first he must get the wrong people off the bus and the right people on and in their proper positions. As we catch the spirit of our Leader then we will begin to see things that they saw in the church in the book of Acts because we will be in one accord with one vision and voice. Desiring his spirit means we will gain a greater passion to see the vision of the house fulfilled so we will be more willing to spend ourselves on behalf of the ministry. (Christ did this even to the point of death because he had the spirit of his covering, God, even to the point of death.) As we submit and lift the burden off of our Leader then we are able to push him God-ward so he can intercede for us in a greater capacity as well as continue to receive vision and direction from God.

When God was revealing this to me in prayer a few nights ago, the Holy Spirit told me to look up to see the position my Pastor was in and said that is the position we are to take; he was laying prostrate on the altar. We are not just to position ourselves this way to pray but also symbolizing us turning our backs on everything else that would divide us from the vision of the house. We are now placing ourselves in a vulnerable position because we cannot see behind us and must rely on our covering to look out for us. We are placing complete confidence in our Leader to lead and cover us.

The Holy Spirit took me to John 3 this morning. After reading the chapter, He showed me how this is what “one vision one voice” looks like. In this chapter we have Jesus Christ and John the Baptist both baptizing and teaching. Both are questioned about some things and their answers parallel. In verse 11 and 32 Jesus and John both say the same thing, pointing to the true testimony. Verse 16 and 36 both Jesus and John point to belief in Christ as the way to eternal life. John had the spirit of Jesus so he was able to speak the same things. The vision was to point people to Christ and they both succeeded. John understood that he played an important role but he was just that a role player, his motives weren’t to use this as a stepping stone to the spotlight. Verse 27-29 he explains that he was just preparing the way and is excited to see Christ go forth. Verse 30 shows the heart of a true disciple, “He must become greater; I must become less”. Now is not the time to rebel against your leader but to submit.

If you have a problem submitting to your Leader than its either pride or unbelief, both of which are a sin. If you don't believe in your Pastor/Leader or the vision then go somewhere where you do. If you want the spotlight....sorry God doesn't want prideful people. Submit first and let God do the elevating. This isn’t a one man show; the head requires a body to do anything. Christ, the head, requires the body (us) to fulfill his vision. Your Pastor or Leader requires you to fulfill the vision that God placed inside of him. Together we can; one vision one voice
