God is testing me now as i type this. It's hard to endure trials but it's possible thru Christ who strengthens me. As long as God is happy with my life He can take it if it pleases Him. God is good.
Internal? Francis words moved my spirit to not put up with mediocre Christian living versus loving God with all I have and demonstrate to others just like Christ did to me! Thank you for this teaching. May the Lord continue to Bless you and All yours.
How refreshing. 🙌🏻 Praise God I found this. I’ve been out of the traditional Churches for four years. Seeking more. I’ve felt the modern churches were watered down.. I’ve tried explaining this to many of my Christian friends, they didn’t understand where I was coming from. I didn’t know how to explain what I felt in my heart. That I wasn’t feeling like I was being feed in the “Church”. That it was about getting people in the church but, now what? I felt we the church were off track. Thank you, and God Bless you for this message.
Notice that Jesus was speaking to the 12 disciples. He was not speaking to the masses. A disciple is one who follows and obeys a teacher. Find a disciple of Christ and you will find the Church who wants to love one another. Good luck. You will be blessed to find 2.
Read Luke 14 to see if you are a Disciple. The word Christian is mentioned only a couple of times. The Word Disciple is mentioned over 200 times. You can only be One With another Disciple.
*Jesus prayed we’d be ‘ONE’ with each other in Himself “that the world will know!”* John 17:22-23: “THE GLORY which you have given me, I have given to them; THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, even as we are one; I in them, and you in me, that they may be PERFECTED into one; THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.” This simply is not happening in the world today anywhere. When it does, the world will know. God's glory will be that strong, which He promises to give us when we're truly 'ONE.'

Yes Thomas. Be Thou faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life.

This is a hard message to hear but I pray God would work on me through this message.

@29:00 *“Can you think of one church in America that is known for their love for each other?”*

When 'ONE' happens, Jesus said "the world will know." We're not there yet.
@@jameskuo661 it's not hard, it's pride. It's so unfortunate but that's why we lead by example and pray for those who don't yet follow the way.
Why the dramatic and ominous intro tho lol
This makes me uncomfortable. I need to get back to my big church where I may hide behind the gifted.
