<p>Three major thrusts are now taking place in the body of Christ. The first is unity, and this is making unprecedented possibilities unfold for the church. Those with faith seize possibilities. Those who live by fear instead of faith get left behind. On His last night on earth, Jesus prayed earnestly for the unity of His people. We can be sure that the prayer of the Son of God will be answered. The body of Christ will come into unity.</p>
<p>Benjamin Franklin exhorted the original colonies before the Revolutionary War in America to “join or die.” This is now true for the church. Those with the faith and confidence in their own calling and relationship to the Lord are building bridges with other parts of the body of Christ. Those who are too insecure to do this are fading away. We are in another “join or die” situation, but the positive of this implies, “join and live!” The blessings of unity are truly limitless even to the degree that whatever we ask of the Lord, it will be granted.  <a href="http://www.morningstarministries.org/resources/word-week/2012/kingdom-economics-path-life-part-30?utm_source=The+MorningStar+Ministries+eNewsletter&amp;utm_campaign=9688ba1e3f-eNewsletter_September_11+_2012&amp;utm_medium=email">Read more &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
