HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FINAL MOVE OF GOD
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FINAL MOVE OF GOD
UNDERSTAND 2 THINGS
1. WHEN LOVE IS PERFECTED, THE BLESSING OF HEAVEN WILL FLOW
2. LOVE COMES FROM GOD
1. WHEN LOVE IS PERFECTED, THE BLESSING OF HEAVEN WILL FLOW
1. WHEN LOVE IS PERFECTED, THE BLESSING OF HEAVEN WILL FLOW
When everything was completed
They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
The final thing to be put in place is the Ark of God...
When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
: Unity is where God commands his blessing
A song of ascents. Of David.
How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing,
even life for evermore.
Love binds it all together in perfect unity
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
,,, Jesus prayer that we would all be one
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
EXAMPLE:
Raised their voices together in prayer and the place where they were meeting was shaken.
On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:
“ ‘Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the Lord
and against his Anointed One.’
Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Raised their voices together in prayer and the place where they were meeting was shaken.
Early church in unity, power and blessing
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No-one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

Apostle...etc. Until we all reach UNITY
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fulness of Christ.
United in love, full riches of complete understanding
My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

LOVE WILL NOT COME FROM US TRYING HARD
PERFECTION OF LOVE WILL BE A SOVEREIGN MOVE OF GOD
Love comes from God
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
We Love because He first loved us
Abiding in the Vine
We love because he first loved us.

Abiding in the Vine
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

BY THE WORD OF GOD
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Word was God
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Know the truth-truth set you free
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Know the truth-truth set you free Faith come by the Word Transformed by the renewing of our minds Through knowledge and promises we enter into God's divine nature Meditate on Word of God, Day and night When you do your part, you cause the whole body to be healthy and filled with love Goal of faith is salvation of souls SURRENDER! BELIEVE!
Faith come by the Word
Transformed by the renewing of our minds
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
Through knowledge and promises we enter into God's divine nature
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Meditate on Word of God, Day and night
Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
When you do your part, you cause the whole body to be healthy and filled with love
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Goal of faith is salvation of souls
for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
SO WHAT DO WE DO?
SURRENDER
SURRENDER!
SURRENDER!
