The Church is YESHUA’s plan to shed HIS light, HIS message of eternal life, and HIS righteousness on earth. It’s HIS Kingdom displaying HIS culture, setting us free from pride, fear, deception, and even our own human depravity. HIS Church is the promise of a new humanity born in YESHUA, the fulfillment of the longing of all creation to see the Children of ELOHIM! Romans 8:19-27;  19 For the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of ELOHIM. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly but because of the ONE who subjected it—in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of the children of ELOHIM. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers birth pains until now— 23 and not only creation, but even ourselves. We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the RUACH, groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for adoption—the redemption of our body.

We are those who have been born again through repentance and the blood of YESHUA, washed in the water and rising in HIM, we are filled with the power of the indwelling of the KADOSH KUACH (HOLY SPIRIT). So that we may fulfill the call in Matthew 28:16, Now the eleven disciples went to the Galilee, to the mountain YESHAU had designated. 17 When they saw HIM, they worshiped; but some wavered. 18 And YESHUA came up to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to ME.  19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the FATHER and the SON and the Ruach ha-Kodesh, 20 teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And remember! I AM with you always, even to the end of the age.”

We come together as one because this has never been done! We have always valued our differences over HIS prayer. Our SAVIOR asks the FATHER to make us one. This is, in all ways, what separates us; we must lay down and follow YESHUA in what HE taught and lived and now asks of us. John 17:13-23; 13 “But now I am coming to YOU. I say these words while I AM still in the world, so that they may have MY joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them YOUR word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world. 15 I AM not asking that YOU take them out of the world, but that YOU keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I AM not of the world.

17 “Make them holy in the truth. YOUR word is truth. 18 Just as YOU sent ME into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I make MYSELF holy, so that they also may be made holy in truth.”

20 “I pray not on behalf of these only, but also for those who believe in ME through their message, 21 that they all may be one. Just as YOU, FATHER are in ME and I AM in YOU, so also may they be one in US, so the world may believe that YOU sent ME. 22 The glory that YOU have given to ME I have given to them, that they may be one just as WE are one— 23 I in them and YOU in ME—that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that YOU sent ME and loved them as YOU loved ME.

I have been a follower of Christ for fifty-one years, and I have received so much from Him that I cannot help but overflow with love, joy, peace, and hope! HE has called us all to become more like HIM, which only the Creator can accomplish. I am so thankful that HE chooses the least and creates in them the highest, HIMSELF. This qualifies all believers to be a part of HIS priesthood: 1 Peter 2:9 , 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for ELOHIM’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into HIS marvelous light.
