Every new level presents its difficulties, because people are accustomed to one atmosphere and then they step into a whole new one. Can you tell the difference between reading the Old Testament and the New Testament? In the Old Testament, with its stories of wars and kings and judgments, all the things that happened were… Continue reading Learning about the world of the Spirit

The relationship itself ministers
The lord caused to come before my mind all the things that I had said to my brothers and sisters. It is like it just passed through my mind. When it was finished, one Word was spoken by the Lord. He said, “A relationship ministers.” You begin to realize that we don’t have to have… Continue reading The relationship itself ministers

Oneness is Forever We Don’t Have Any Point to Prove Because we are not in conflict to solve problems, we don’t seem to have any point to prove. We don’t have any point to prove—all we have to do is carry one another in love. Panning For Gold Let’s have faith. Of all people in… Continue reading The unfolding part 8
The unfolding part 7
Gazing Intently THE PRINCIPLES OF ONENESS I cannot open my heart to the Lord without opening my heart to His brethren (Hebrews 2:11). If I close my heart to my brother or sister in Christ, I’m closing it to the Lord. I cannot open my heart to my brother and close it to other brothers.… Continue reading The unfolding part 7
I wish I didn’t doubt it
A problem for which we have not yet been able to find a solution. The brothers start off with a real closeness with the apostle, but then over a period of time, they do not seem to be able to maintain that closeness and freedom. It is difficult for the brothers to feel his love… Continue reading I wish I didn’t doubt it
The unfolding-part 3
Neither Condemned nor Intimidated GOD WANTS TO ESTABLISH A NEW NATURE, NOT REFINE AND DISCIPLINE THE HUMAN NATURE. The word says that our old man has been crucified with Christ, but as long as we have a human body, we still have two natures, the flesh and the spirit. It is only when we learn… Continue reading The unfolding-part 3
The interpenetration of God and man 1
This message is about the interpenetration of God and man—what Pentecost is really supposed to mean. When you Spirit-filled believers prophesy, you can manifest a great deal of zeal, and the words are tremendous; there is a flow. But we want to do more—make bones rattle and armies of the Lord stand up (Ezekiel 37:1–10).… Continue reading The interpenetration of God and man 1
The unfolding-part 1
“… THE TRUTH IN LOVE” The most talked about and the least understood subject in the world is love. How many believe in it? How many would like to receive it? How many find it difficult to send it out in some directions? Most of our problems come because we go about all of the… Continue reading The unfolding-part 1
Bonds nullify
In the “Unfolding,” the Word of the Lord has come about opening our hearts. It is based on the sixth chapter of II Corinthians, where Paul had written to the Church, Our mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide. You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained… Continue reading Bonds nullify
Oneness and bonds and vampires
This Word will deal with our relating to each other. Almost every problem that we face has been in making the transition to the Kingdom relationships. This Word speaks about the perfect Kingdom relationships that God is bringing. It reveals also our openness to assault through demonic sources, and how to see that ended. Let… Continue reading Oneness and bonds and vampires
You are in my heart
Paul wrote to the Corinthians: I do not speak to condemn you; for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together. II Corinthians 7:3. This message will be one of the most important that I have ever given in my whole life. It is not a… Continue reading You are in my heart
A few things about oneness
Do you realize that the Lord has been bringing Words on our communication, relationships, and oneness for many years? We have all been into those Words, but the problem has been that until now the more we tried to make it work, the less it seemed to work. One of the clearest pictures we have… Continue reading A few things about oneness
Oneness is our potential
The believers in the Body of Christ constitute many different members, but one spiritual Body—one organism. As believers and bondservants we know that true oneness is our potential. Let’s look first at the illusions about oneness that are so subtle and undetected. One false illusion would be thinking that compatibility is oneness. Another illusion would… Continue reading Oneness is our potential
Come up higher 1
We understand that the whole purpose of the Day of Atonement, preceding the Feast of Tabernacles, was that there should be the goat of removal, Azazel (Leviticus 16:10, NAS, ASV). This meant that Aaron the high priest laid his hands on a male goat and confessed the sins of the Israelites over that scapegoat, which… Continue reading Come up higher 1
We believe in and we believe for
Since the Kingdom of God is based on relationships, it is very important that we understand what oneness means, and how it is attained. Oneness has to be an expression of God’s love in us. We know that. But when you stop to consider love—human or divine—it has one characteristic about it that seems to… Continue reading We believe in and we believe for
The kingdom is His oneness
We had been saying, “We’re in the Kingdom! We’re in the Kingdom!” And we really were, to some extent; but the Kingdom is characterized by relationships. All the relationships, as they had existed, began to sharply deteriorate. The relationships which God wanted to endure in the Kingdom, He devastated so completely that they came to… Continue reading The kingdom is His oneness
Is there an idol in your saddlebag?
Three can’t beat one. There are references in the Scriptures such as, “a threefold cord is not easily broken” which collaborate this principle (Ecclesiastes 4:12). This relates to the power of oneness when it is in Christ—not just one individual in Christ, but several individuals who have become one in Christ. This oneness is stronger… Continue reading Is there an idol in your saddlebag?
“With”
We are beginning to learn something about the way oneness operates. When we take it out of the realm of struggling and contending for a relationship, then our oneness becomes functional. We have the idea that oneness must be a smooth, gentle relationship with one another, but nothing could be further from the truth—especially if… Continue reading “With”
About the ministries of the kingdom
There are several important changes in ministering to people; and I have sought the Lord to reveal to me what these changes mean. I do not want to shirk any ministry to God’s sheep that is in His will for me to do. However, there has also been a strong leading of the Holy Spirit… Continue reading About the ministries of the kingdom
Don’t read it, eat it!
A most effective time to break through to a greater level in the Lord comes when we cease to function by our understanding of our circumstances, and we reach up because we feel a burden in the Spirit. Then we are reaching in to be totally one with the heart of the Lord, and our… Continue reading Don’t read it, eat it!
The drawn sword-you get the point
After many years of walking with the Lord together and hearing His truths, we are being confronted with the realization that now we will either obtain what we came into this for, or we will not! If we are going to obtain it, it will require drastic measures on all of our part, because the… Continue reading The drawn sword-you get the point
Lord, what you said to us?!
There is a oneness for us in our Lord that we have not yet entered. But we have been experiencing a time of deep spiritual healing and orientation for this coming oneness. In the Spirit the oneness is tugging at us like an undertow, or like an overwhelming tidal wave of oneness. God wants to… Continue reading Lord, what you said to us?!
How much do we tolerate?
How much do we conform to become one in the Holy Spirit? A truth established in the Scriptures is that we as the sons of God are to be in all points conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). This does not mean that we will all look alike or forego certain individual… Continue reading How much do we tolerate?
The channel of the higher flow
A Living Word from the Lord comes to us to create in us oneness. We can have a new appreciation of the process by which the Living Word accomplishes that oneness. This may seem vague, but most of the things that God reveals to us are a little beyond our understanding, even after they are… Continue reading The channel of the higher flow
One Lord, One Body
In the book of Exodus, God spoke these words to the Israelites: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is… Continue reading One Lord, One Body
Bonded, or fused into one?
When we experience the purification which God is restoring to the Church, our hearts are encouraged that the days of visitation are truly upon us. Our purification has prepared us to move into what has been labeled “Kingdom evangelism.” It is not so much evangelism that we are entering into, as it is an ingathering.… Continue reading Bonded, or fused into one?
Perfect in one
God is bringing the Body of Christ together today in a true unity and oneness of Spirit. In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he told them to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. After that he told them about the gifts that Christ gave to the Church as… Continue reading Perfect in one
Keep your eyes on the Lord
The twelfth chapter of Hebrews tells us to beware… lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled. Verse 15. If you have just a little bitterness in your heart, before you know it, many people become defiled. People get an attitude toward someone whom they have prejudged or… Continue reading Keep your eyes on the Lord
Members of one body
I Corinthians 12:12 tells us, For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. Christ is a many-membered Body. This explanation, if you will remember it, will make the importance of this walk real to you continually. When… Continue reading Members of one body
Ye shall walk together as one
These are not the days that thou should walk in the traditions of the fathers. Thou shalt not follow after the vain things that men have accumulated unto themselves in their vain show of worship, but, thou shalt walk in the ways of the Lord. Thou shalt come before the Lord and be liberated from… Continue reading Ye shall walk together as one
Do you know how to be filled with the Spirit?
He who joins his spirit to the Lord is one spirit. 1cor 6:17 Joins is in the continuous tense. It is something we need to continuously do. It is called abiding in the Lord. We need to be continuously aware of the presence of the Lord. If we lose our awareness of His Presence we… Continue reading Do you know how to be filled with the Spirit?
Into oneness with love
This teaching comes to explain to us why there have been so many problems in our relating. We can call these the problems of waning love, for they all come down to a basic lack of love for each other. Someone has said that at least fifty percent of the problems for which counseling has… Continue reading Into oneness with love
Only God is one
The Lord Jesus confirmed the first commandment, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. Then He said, And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:37–39. This… Continue reading Only God is one

What is oneness?
A beautiful illustration of a true relationship within a family is found in the story of Hannah, the mother of Samuel. Hannah made a promise that she would lend Samuel to the Lord as long as he lived (I Samuel 1:11). After the Lord’s claim on Samuel had been established, she was very faithful to… Continue reading What is oneness?
Two by two
The Lord has made His people one, and yet they may not know how to really practice and live in that oneness. They do not always have an awareness that He has made them to be one Body. Man was not made to live alone. It might be easier living alone, because being around other… Continue reading Two by two
Swiftly
There is a liberation and a release coming every time the pastors come together. You know you are liberated and you know there is more liberty to come, but you do not dare sit down and wait for the liberty to come; it comes while you are in motion. We can’t just sit and wait… Continue reading Swiftly
Together
Then the jealousy of Ephraim (double) will depart, and those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Judah will not harass Ephraim. And they will sweep down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east; they will… Continue reading Together
Bonded
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul talks about the unity of the Spirit. I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to… Continue reading Bonded
Fulfilled
God is bringing forth an interrelationship of true New Testament churches without creating a denomination, but with tremendous effectiveness in their ministry. We are entering into the year of the explosion. Things will happen so fast. We are exploding in every direction. We are entering into unity among the brothers. It is a matter of… Continue reading Fulfilled
Multiplying the power through unity
We want the keys to the greater works that God says are to be done. Jesus said, “The works that I do shall ye do also, and greater works than these shall ye do” (John 14:12). What is the key of those greater works? God’s power is a key, even as it was in the… Continue reading Multiplying the power through unity
Dedicated to unity
The Lord has given the Word that we are to stand together as one, willing to lay down our lives for the brethren, contending for the unity of this Body in the name of the Lord. We will not break ranks nor thrust one another (Joel 2:7, 8). This is the key. We will not… Continue reading Dedicated to unity

God is bringing a Word that will produce unity in the Body, a standing fast with one spirit that has not been seen in two thousand years. John 17:21“I pray that they all may be one, Father, as We are one, that the world may believe that Thou has sent Me” We are ready for… Continue reading Operation buddy
From many comes one

It is first a oneness with the Lord and then a oneness with one another in the body. … Continue reading From many comes one

The Lord is teaching us how to walk on a new plane, and it will be a little while before we all get into it. It’s like learning to walk in the natural. Every new phase has that similarity. You move along well in the plane you’re on, and when you move into a new… Continue reading Identical
In one spirit
Our goals as ministers and oracles of the Word of God should be: “As much as we can, we want to have a pure Word from the Lord, a pure ministry to the people, and a pure spirit that permeates the whole of the church.” We are coming into the age of the kingdom; the… Continue reading In one spirit

PSALMS 133:1 A Song of degrees of David.

Our identity
The whole issue of our identity is about our coming into full maturity, so that we can rule over the created order. Hebrews 10: 12 but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;13 from henceforth (used of time, hence forward) expecting (continuous action,… Continue reading Our identity
God has a chosen race
Does that mean he is Jewish? What about a Hebrew? He created the Hebrew language, there is no other like it in the earth, but He never intended to communicate in a written language. He communicates through infused knowledge. People in heaven communicate by thought; they do not have to say anything. All the races… Continue reading God has a chosen race
Identical with Christ
The basis of the gospel is the fact that Christ was wounded for our transgressions and chastised for our iniquities, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). This is the basis of our faith. We start out by identifying ourselves vicariously with Him in His experiences; through meditation, through the power of our… Continue reading Identical with Christ
Human bonds or oneness

The interpenatration of God and man
The giving of the Holy Spirit was probably the greatest thing that ever happened in all God’s great plan of redemption.
