          How can we maintain that unity?

          - I want to do more than diagnose the problem, I want to talk about what we can do to make sure it doesn’t happen to us.

          - I got to thinking about the unity that the early church enjoyed and how we can have that.

          - There is a Greek word - “homothumadon” - that pretty much only shows up in the book of Acts (11 of 12 NT uses). It means “with one mind, unanimous, in one accord.” I want to briefly look at what the early church was doing that kept their unity. (We’re just going to handle it briefly; I may come back and unpack this some other time.)

          
          Maintaining The Unity Of The Church:

          1. Acts 1:14 - It all starts with PRAYER.

          2. Acts 2:46 - Stay focused on the PURPOSES.

          3. Acts 4:24 - Be quick to lift up PRAISE.

          4. Acts 5:12 - Be channels of God’s POWER.

          5. Acts 8:4-6 - Boldly PREACH the Word.

          6. Acts 15:25 - Maintain biblical PEACE.

          7. Acts 19:29 (and 7:57 and 18:12) - Don’t be surprised by PERSECUTION. ...

          "Ican do all things through Christ which strengtheth me" phil.4:13

    Thoughts to Ponder



    The Power of God! 

    My. My. My!!
    God is awesome and His ways are glorious!
    I am thrilled today to be a servant of the most high God!
    I want to share with you today a scripture that the Spirit of God has been burning in my heart for the last few days.
    Romans 8:11
    "And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you."

    My question for me, for you, for my family, for everyone is this:
    What is it that you struggle with in your life?
    Do you struggle with insecurities?
    Do you struggle with a bad habit?
    Do you look to things and people other than God to give you value?
    Are you bound by sin and bondage that you just can't get free from?
    Are you in desperate need of the peace of God that passes all understanding?
    If you answered YES to any of these let's go to God's Word.
    "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies..."
    In other words, You've got the POWER from Almighty God to be victorious!
    Think about it! The power of God that raised a dead corpse to life is living inside of you- if you have been born again in Christ Jesus !
    The Power of God that spoke the world's into existence~
    The Power of God that delivered a nation from bondage~
    The Power of God that brought mighty victories~
    The Power of God that parted the Red Sea~
    The Power of God that fed 5,000 with a Happy Meal~
    The Power of God that healed the sick~
    The Power of God that made the lame walk~
    The Power of God that caused the blind to see~
    The Power of God that raised the dead to life~
    That SAME Power dwells in YOU!
    Now, with authority and boldness, speak to that issue in your life~ that authority that is NOT your own, but of the life giving Power of God.
    Speak to your insecurities, "I am more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ!"
    Speak to your habit ""I will not let sin reign in my mortal body to obey its evil desires!"
    Speak to your soul "I am the apple of His eye; He delights in me!"
    Declare "I am free! Blood bought and Spirit Wrought! - So sin and bondage have no place in life!"

    Just think about it for a minute! You do not have to live the way you have been living!
    You do not have to settle for bondage!
    You can have freedom and victory in your life through the Power of the Christ !
    He loves you and wants to give you all that you need to have power over the evil in this world.

    Walk in Love,

    Sue Shipp Ministries
