Journal entry: April 17,1991
As I was praying this morning, the Holy Spirit impressed me to write down the picture He gave me concerning unity in His Church, His Bride. When I saw it, I repented for all the ways I have been a vessel of Satan for dis-unity. Forgive me Father.
Jesus just showed me that every denomination has error in it’s doctrine. Some have more than others, but this is less important than we think. He showed me a globe of the earth. On it, He placed Himself in Jerusalem. He said, “If I position all the factions of my Body on the globe in proximity to Me according to the amount of error they believe, their individual locations would still be very far from Me (The Total Truth). If they could only reach me by their own understanding and power, they would ALL be disheartened and give up no matter where they were positioned, because they would perceive they had too far to go to reach Me ( The Total Truth). But it is by My Spirit that the Father has ordained they shall reach Me. My Spirit does not work as the flesh. Notice in 1Thess 4:14-18 that you shall ALL be changed or raised in an instant – covering the distance from Me (The Total Truth), in the same amount of time, by My Spirit.
Maturing and rightly dividing My Word are important. But only when you realize and embrace how far YOU have to go to be one with Me (The Total Truth), and that it is only by My grace that it will happen, will you be able to put on love (My agape) and be truly united to the rest of my Bride.”

So true.
We’ve been having discussions on this topic in our home.
Lord help us stretch to reach You like never before.
I want to think on this one awhile…I want it to sink deeply.
