A thirty-year-old Vision updated and partially explained!

Many years ago, everyone talked about unity in terms of Denominations. It had been tried, and failed abysmally for years, although a remnant of the so-called Ecumenical Movement still lived and indeed, still lives on even today.

The LORD showed me a slightly different viewpoint on unity.

Suppose, just suppose, there came a movement towards a greater unity of doctrinal beliefs — but still retaining denominational boundaries — heaven forbid we should do all those power structures out of business!

Sounds crazy, a total contradiction of terms, doesn’t it? After all’s said and done, nearly ALL denominations were founded on doctrinal arguments.

The fact is that, in the first century, The Church was one Church, with all their issues. It was only when pride, spiritual pride, stepped in that one group stopped talking to another group and denominations were formed.

So what did I see, or hear, The LORD showing me?

The first thing I saw was that Cessationism ceased as more and more people, and whole Churches, received the baptism of Holy Spirit and started praying in tongues and manifesting miracles!

Then I saw Replacement Theology torn up as people saw God’s hand upon Israel.

Next came the distorted version of the Prosperity Gospel, closely followed by one-man ministry being replaced by Five-fold — again as more were baptised by The Holy Spirit!

As I first saw these things, and more, I sat shaking my head, as much in disbelief as in wonderment.

I heard The LORD say, “You can’t imagine it, even less see it happening, can you?”

I replied, “No Lord, I can’t! I mean, this would take such a quantum leap as I could never really imagine it happening?”

“Watch!” was all The LORD said.

What happened next made me gasp in joy, wonder, excitement — you name it. Every emotion ran through me.

I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. It re-ran, like a video clip on repeat.

I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth — and this time I focused in a little bit, then closer, then closer again.

I saw entire Churches — all over the globe — being baptised by The Holy Spirit!

“But Lord, they don’t believe in this!” I yelled at one point!

“They do now!” answered The LORD, with a chuckle. “Some, of course, still rejected it, fought against it, even ran those who received it off the premises. But many received their Baptism with great joy – and much repentance.”

Then I watched as newly baptised people came out of their denominational walls and joined together in unity of The Spirit.

Old doctrinal differences were swept away by the realisation of The Truth — God’s Truth — and there was a great joy among God’s People as they began to come together as one and in one accord.

As it says in Acts 2:1, “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

“Can this really happen, LORD?” I asked.

He answered with a scripture,

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”” Mark 10:27

I was amazed, then reminded of,

“Look among the nations and watch — be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.” Habakkuk 1:5

The Remnant Church is well and truly birthed now and is growing at a pace many believed to be impossible — except that with God all things are possible.

Truly born-again believers from all denominations are coming together in a unity that for so many years eluded our forefathers.

This is the time of The United Church of Jesus Christ and a demonstration of the power of God in miracles, signs, and wonders of all shapes and sizes.

“With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Glory to God! \0/
