Our oneness truly does come in the kingdom, in our connection with the Father. Therefore, our seeking the King is the most important thing. He is the Lord, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings. All authority is given to Him. There is no other one to seek except Him. In seeking Him, we create the oneness that He's looking for.
John 13, first verse, and this is at the beginning of Passover, I'm reading out of Scripture's Bible. And before the festival of Pesah, Yahshua, knowing that His hour had come, that He should move out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
Jesus was moving out of that age that He had started with the disciples. He's moving out of what became the church age, and He was returning to the Father. The priority of oneness we see right here. The priority of oneness is moving out of where we are, whether you're in the church age or into the kingdom age, we're in the crossover of two ages. Our priority of oneness is the Father.
The oneness is not us connecting with each other, but connecting with the Lord, putting Him first. I believe that as Jesus broke bonds with the disciples in that day, in preparation to ascending to the Father, and sitting down at His right hand, He intends for us, as His people, as His servants, to break bonds, with this earth and our earthly thinking, our earthly conditioning's. Even and especially all of the teaching we've ever received. Now, does that mean we don't have a foundation? No, absolutely doesn't mean that at all. It simply means we're breaking bonds so that we can actually hear, what the Father is speaking. And I think it's very important today that we understand, we're not breaking bonds with God. We're breaking bonds with our earthly existence as it was up to this point.
This is a new day. But the day that we're living is in right now is, we're right in the middle of the celebration of Passover. And there was a sweeping out of the leaven. There was getting rid of everything that would interfere with that wonderful deliverance that God was bringing. And I believe we're being delivered out of an old day, more than we understand, into this new day of existence with God.
It's being delivered from an old age into a new kingdom age. Actually, being delivered out of the human way of thinking and the way we think, and being delivered into a new way of living in a new age.
Getting rid of the old thinking for the new thinking, ending old paradigms, and really hearing the real truth, what God is speaking in the Word, by the Word, through the Word.
In the Spirit, by the Spirit, for the Spirit, and being unlimited, and moving in the realm of Spirit like Christ did, to moving in the fullness of Christ.
Seven times I've counted in this chapter, John 17, about glory. The glory of God, that He would be glorified, that we may behold His glory, and this is the oneness.
We're entering into the oneness our-self, and this is introducing oneness into the Bride of Christ. We are one with one another.
What is the glory of God? His presence. The greatest thing that I think we can do is to seek the Lord with a whole heart, and uncover yourself. And let Him speak to you, because He's right there. He has already given you His glory. Understand that He's already given you the provision. Seek Him with all your heart.
We dump the things that are past. We dump our thinking. We dump our teaching. By faith we enter into Your presence, Father, in a greater way to know You. We break bonds for one purpose. So that we're not tied to an old age, so we're not tied to a human way of thinking, a human way of reacting, so we're not tied to the peer. We set ourselves free to walk in this new age.
This is a thing of great joy, the breaking of bonds, and being set free; part of the joy set before us. Entering into a relationship that we've never had before by virtue of breaking bonds, and walking out the footsteps, that's great joy.
We're moving into a time of oneness, and that joy is contagious.
I think you can get encumbered by things you've gone through, lessons you've learned religion in the past. You can become encumbered by all those things. God's saying, let go of what was, and enter in to what is. We must remember the provisions already been made of our connection with the Father in a greater way. True happiness, true joy comes from a right relationship, a connection that's eternal with the Father.
