Pastor Chan speaks of something I fully believe, God is doing something wonderful in His Church, His people. I agree, and I believe that whatever God is about to do in His people, His Temple, His Church, it will require a unity beyond our comprehension in our current state.

When I was a young Christian, God spent years growing my understanding that He, the Father-Jesus-the Holy Triune Presence, is in me. Then God began to reveal a greater truth. As God is in me, each “I” of us is in HIM. In Him, we are ONE. Whether or not I understand it, this is truth: God is in me. I am in Him. We – He and each “I” – are one.

Now God is growing me strong in the reality that Jesus is alive and living through me. It is a truth I can bank on as I trust and rely on His faithfulness, me being fully dependent on Him. As I surrender myself to this unity, His power is released to empower Life in me: deeper, more focused, and much more deliberate, filled with eternal purpose. Imperfect me being continually perfected by God as this eternal becomes my reality.

In this COVID challenge, when we are physically separated, I sense a greater connectedness than ever before. God is up to something and He is making us ready to act as His ONE. Step back in your mind to look at the whole. Hands pumping, feeling the heartbeat of God coursing through us, vitally aware of each cell, every membrane of His Body, alive with anticipation as the very mind of Christ prepares His command to the whole. See it?

God lives in “me”. “I” live in Him, and He lives fully through “me”. The all knowing, all sufficient, eternal Power present in and through us, connecting us beyond imagination, this is the reality we must grasp if we would be ready in the unity needed for that which is coming.
