Jesus intends for His Church to
be a unified and powerful Body with Him as the Head.
Paul writes about this happening in
Ephesus. The Church reflected the unity and the power
that came when the Jews and Gentiles who submitted to
Christ joined
together as the Church. When the Ephesus Church was
obedient and accessed God, their unity and power grew,
and others
feared them. The problem with the Church today is a lack
of power, because there is a lack of unity in Christ. We
have too
much of a gap between us and the Holy Spirit. As
individual members in the Body of Christ we may also
lack unity and power
in our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not really know who we
are in Christ because we do not listen and learn through
the teachings
and counseling of the Holy Spirit. If we did, we would
know to come to God and to access in Him, everything
that we need and
desire. How do we access Him, through prayer. We have
love, grace, peace, power, patience, strength and so
much more when
we access God for these things. He will prepare us to
receive them and to use them in His perfect plan for us.
