Unity

Unity. It's no coincidence that as we make significant strides towards unity, the enemy chooses to attack our friendships, our relationships. Yes, he plays off the insecurities that we are not loved, that we are not worthy of having friends, that everyone is moving on without us. He plays off of the insecurities that we are destined to be alone, that no one understands us, that there's no point in having certain friendships. He tries to create drama, plant lies in our heads, bring disunity and division, throw everything into chaos. Yes, the enemy is going to attack. Yes the attacks intensify when we are working our way towards something our Father wants. But beloved, even though the enemy is always going to attack, that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't do anything about it.

"Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!" Psalm 133:1.

Look, even if you are not dealing with friendship or relationship problems at the moment, be cautious please. This is an area where I believe the Lord is revealing to be one of the enemy's targeted areas in these upcoming weeks. I had a vision several days ago of a chain that started to link together. But when even one link of the chain was cut, everything fell apart. Be watchful, for "the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" 1 Peter 5:8.

Beloved, we need to take a stand against the enemy and say enough is enough. So "let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you" Ephesians 4:31-32.

Remember to love one another, knowing that when one part of the body hurts, the whole body hurts together. Open your eyes to see who is hurting. Remember that after you put on the whole armor of God, you are to pray for all the saints.

Watchmen, don't be caught sleeping please.
