John 17:20,21
These verses came to me very strongly a couple of days ago.
Neither for these alone do I pray, but also for all those who will ever come to believe in Me through their word and teaching, That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. (AMP)
This was JESUS' prayer...Wow. I really wonder how well I have lived my life to help fulfil this prayer.
I read somewhere that in the Bible days, the church was multiplying, but now it is dividing. Have I played a part in helping it to multiply or divide?
Just some thoughts that I wanted to share.
With love,
Nadine

Are you talking about God's true church ...His bride...His body? Or are you referring to the exclusive 2 x 2 church?

I am talking about "...ALL who will ever come to believe..." as this was Jesus' prayer.

When you said that these verses "came to you" very strongly, what did you mean?
How did they come? Did you think they were thoughts put in your mind by God? Did you just happen to remember them? Something else?
I ask as I've never had such an experience.
