Achieving Unity: The Mandate for Christ’s Spotless Bride
Dr. Edith Davis discusses the imminent return of Christ and the crucial preparation of His church—the bride "without spot, without blemish or without wrinkles." She asserts that the key to unifying the body of Christ, despite its diversity, is becoming single-minded and laser-focused on Jesus Christ. The current period is the "beautification process," and with the help of the Holy Spirit, believers are called to walk in love, joy, and peace, operating in the authority and power of mature sons and daughters.
Dr. Davis highlights that this necessary unity requires putting aside anything that hinders God's mission, especially fleshly things and personal offenses. She shares her own "Joseph test" experience, illustrating the need to protect and cover leadership even when offended, and reminds us that leaders bear immense responsibility for the entire flock. The true battlefield is the mind, where thoughts contrary to God's Word must be identified, plucked up, and replaced by Scripture, following Christ’s example of saying, "It is written."
She concludes with a strong call for believers to seek the full baptism of the Holy Spirit for the necessary power to evangelize and operate, assuring listeners that a unified, mature church is God's will.
Key Principles for Unification:
-- We must become single-minded, focused on Christ Jesus, and have our minds like the mind of Christ.
-- We must walk in the Spirit, exhibiting love, joy, and peace, putting aside all fleshly and offensive things.
-- Obedience is critical, exemplified by the "Joseph Test"—protecting those in authority over you, even if they have wronged you.
-- We must handle leadership issues by going to the throne and praying in love, recognizing the immense responsibility leaders carry for the entire flock.
-- The mind must be renewed daily by reading and meditating on the Word, actively casting out negative self-talk and thoughts contrary to Scripture, and replacing them with God's Word.
-- We must have the power of the Holy Spirit, which includes the second baptism of the Holy Spirit (speaking in tongues), to operate in authority and defeat fear.
