Abiding in the Vine
In the turbulence of the times, how do we stand in the midst of the fray? Bottom line, as distress, tumult, fear, terror strike in the natural realm, God is calling us to "Abide in Him." Not only does uncertainty disappear, but by abiding in Him, He gives us boldness, 1 John 4:17, and confidence, 1 John 2:28.
Import of Community
The often quoted verses of Psalm 133 have always resonated the power and import of unity in the body of Christ. Unity carries an undeniable blessing from the Lord. Jesus reflected the import of unity when He spoke the "great" commandments as loving God and loving one another Matthew 22:37-39. With further emphasis, He relayed the import of these commandments, "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets," Matthew 22:40. These are powerful statements carrying great weight for the Kingdom of God. Unity carries not only the blessing of God, but foundations for all the Law and the prophets!
Watchman Anointing
As the earth trembles and shakes with terror, violence, wars, rumors of war, earthquakes, and famines, there is clear sense of an alarm that has sounded in the heavenlies to awaken the church. We are in an unprecedented time of change, challenge, and crises. In the wake of terrorism, conflict, and earthly devastations, a new desire and need is rising in the body of Christ to know what to do to help the Kingdom advance when our lives, livelihood, morals and values are being challenged, shaken and even rejected. It is as if the Church has been caught in the crossfire of an unwanted supernatural war and is now grappling for roots to help it win the battle it now faces.
Understanding Isaiah 19
"In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria - a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, "blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."
Isaiah 19:23-25
Isaiah 19 ultimately describes the region that will be reconciled between one another and be the place of the New Jerusalem described in Revelation 21:16

Power of Agreement
There is a corporate call to the church to gather together. It is a unique call that is taking us out of church and denominational structures and challenging us to increased relationships in a more corporate stance. This is manifesting nationwide in city-wide prayer gatherings, interdenominational worship events, cross-pollination through pastoral prayer groups. This convening and converging of God’s people by its very nature requires agreement.
