Unity

(Teamwork)
How I delight in My loved ones abiding and living together in unity, in harmony, in victory, without internal discord!
(I:191)

Unity is a requirement to receive the other weapons of the Spirit and the strength to make it through the days to come.
(I:310)

Thats the direction were heading: closer unity, more caring for others, less independence and privacy, more sharing
and fulfilling My Law of Love. (I:390)
The worries and cares of life don't enhance unity. (I:412)
I use all of you to compliment and help each other, filling the needs, keeping you all humble and dependent on each
other and learning how to operate in unity!
I use everyone's talents and gifts to help each of you.
Like this, nobody runs the whole show alone and nobody feels left out, either (I:432)
The enemy will always look for an opportunity to attack and hinder, to divide and conquer and destroy your unity. (I:491)
Learn to fight and care for each other, to remain in unity! (I:501)
It's more difficult in many ways, more humbling and it requires more patience to operate as a team, to learn to function
as a team, but the reward and benefits are that it safeguards you from a selfish and independent road of pride and selfefficiency, which makes you go through life with an attitude of "I don't need anybody else," the result of which is
usually that you'll find out that while others would have needed you badly, they won't need anybody with that attitude,
either.
It's okay to be needing others, and I have ordained it thus that others need you, too, and they need you to need them,
as well. There is something so much higher, nobler and more important to strive for than just plain efficiency in a
worldly sense, of how many funds you can bring in on your own, or how much work you can get done on your own. To
learn to be working as a team is much more important in My eyes, and something much more valuable to achieve.
Teaching someone to harmonize takes time, just like it takes time to teach a child to do the dishes or to be a help in the
household. But if you don't take that time and invest that time, you'll be stuck on your own as the only one who can
"do it," having failed to train others to follow in your foot steps, having failed to let others help you. (I:521)
The ties of unity between My people, the skills of teamwork and successfully fighting the enemy together as a team,
not "each man for himself," are the merging that I'm encouraging, the melting together of hearts and lives, requiring
surrender and submission, not the elevation of one single person. (I:545)
Greater unity equals greater power. You want more power? Strive for more unity! You want Me to raise you to a level of
greater strength, more energy, greater love? Seek greater unity!
In order to enhance you, upgrade and improve you and transform you into the state of greater strength you want to
attain, I might do it through a lower, baser and humbler road of having you merge with others. It's hard work, having to
roll up your sleeves and working in the mire of inter-human relationships, where sin rubs against sin, flaw against flaw,
and imperfections meet their mates and counterparts.
This is the inevitable road of humanity: that of having to learn from and with each other. There are times of solitude
when I just seclude you unto Me and hold you close to My breast and nourish you, just tuning in to you and your needs
alone, but there are also those times when I require you to humble yourself and get down to the nitty-gritty of having to
deal with other humans' weaknesses, the confrontation of their handling your weaknesses and differences of opinion.
Climbing the mountain of this life consists in overcoming those differences and sometimes seemingly insurmountable
obstacles of qualities you spot in each other you just don't feel you're able to reconcile with. But that's one of My
favorite ways I like to prove My Power, when you say, "I can't! I just can't cope or deal with that," I say, "You can! Just
give Me a chance, and I'll prove it to you!" (I:556)
Nothing strengthens unity like rallying together to fight against the real enemy out there and fighting to get My
message out and win souls into My Kingdom! (I:591)
Pray for greater unity, pray that I help you and show you to do what you can in each situation, with each personal
relationship with those you know and are in touch with, in order to advance unity! (II:53)
What's going to meld you together is the fighting together, the going through the dirt and grind of the battle together.
Those mundane battles of every day life, including its physical burdens, serve to knit you and meld you closer and
tighter together, to truly make you, My Bride, into one. (II:119)
Blaming and holding things against another creates an iron wall of separation between you, and will separate you from

the people you're trying to minister to, and consequently from any fruit you might bear otherwise and the bountiful
results I would have you reap in your life if you'd walk in love as you have been loved. (II:193)
I'm stressing unity as one of the most important and vitally necessary ingredients. And this is only the beginning of the
way things are going to be and meant to be forever.
Unity cannot be found on a larger level unless it's there at the core of the smallest unit first!
You have to cultivate it on the smallest level first, otherwise it's never going to work on any larger level. First of all,
each of you needs to be in tune, in sync and unity with Me, and then you've got to be in unity with each other.
Right here, on this small level, I am able to show you what it is in your own heart that threatens your unity: your
selfishness, your lack of communication, your tendency to lock others out of your world sometimes.
The hindrances to unity come right from your own heart. Simply because you were unable to see them before doesn't
mean they weren't there. (II:208)
Focus more on doing things together: counseling together, praying together and then attacking things together.
Together is the word of the day.
I've put you together so that none would have to carry the burden alone. Simply use each other's shoulders and do
together what you cannot on your own!
Try tackling things together! (II:250)
One way of learning to let there be less of you is by learning to submit to others, esteeming them higher than you, in
truly humble and committed teamwork, where you're learning to be one another's servants. (II:251)
"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity." You can imagine that if I delight in
your living together in unity, how much the devil hates it and fights it.
He'll make it hard for you to live in unity with your brethren! It's something you've got to fight for.
The enemy of your souls is also the enemy of your unity, and if he can't destroy you, destroy your faith, your
determination to serve Me and do something for Me, then he'll at least try to destroy your unity, in order to prevent you
from being more fruitful as a team than you ever could be on your own. (II:315)
Apart from the need to pay attention to others, an attitude of forgiveness and acceptance, trust, and patience, the next
ingredient to making unity work in a relationship is not to neglect Me, My Word, not to take your focus off Me, the
Magic and Power that holds you together, the Initiator of your relationship Who must preserve it and make it last.
I am what you need most desperately in your relationship, and staying focused on Me will guarantee your ability to
keep up with the other requirements as well.
"Without Me you can do nothing" also applies to relationships. Those who have tried without Me have had to find out
that they're missing out on the best and most important thing, no matter how wonderful their relationship might be.
(III:285)

Were a good team. You need Me, and regardless of what others say I need you, and if we do things together, well
both get accomplished more than either of us would without the help and assistance of the other.
Its all about teamwork. And that involves being willing to do not only what you personally are most interested in, but
whats best for the community, and in our case were talking about our big, heavenly, and in fact, universal community.
Youre willing to do whats best for the overall plan of the Kingdom, and even if that involves little personal sacrifices,
you know you wont go unrewarded. (2011:126)
The first and most important step for reconciliation in a relationship is that you seek and wish for that unity of mind,
heart and spirit to happen, youve got to envision it, desire it and then let your heart be drawn toward that goal.
Unity, in order to come about, must be desired by both parties involved, and then youve got to mutually focus on that
goal and allow Me to make it happen, even if it may cost the price of having to give up and surrender some personal
pet peeves, idiosyncrasies, habits and preferences.
Its hard to see that need for heart to heart union when youre sitting right on top of each other.
The need for the solution to the problem: a common desire for unity and greater closeness.
Youve got to make that your goal, more so than getting to a more comfortable place or raising your living standard. It
will be your trump card and survival in any situation, no matter how rough the circumstances, and if it isnt there, no
matter how good the circumstances are, youll always be less than content.
The clue is not to focus on unrealistic expectations of each other, or some solution in the far distance, physical or
temporal, but on the drawing closer of each others hearts, in order to become one. Everything else, any direction and
path you will take, will be easier and more manageable from there on.
The first thing youve got to get in order, and into the right place, is not the circumstances and conditions, but the
position of your hearts: theyve got to be focused on each other, not in separate directions. These things dont always
happen by themselves, youve got to make a conscious effort sometimes to make them happen by steering your heart
and vision in the right direction, in this case, toward each other, not seeking an escape from each other. (2012:3)
What matters is that youre in union with Me, and if and when you are, you will also experience greater union and unity
with others.
Blaming Me for your plights separates you from Me, and without strong and close union with Me its unlikely that youll

be able to enjoy very strong union with others. (2012:166)

Following the way of faith until the end is not necessarily all that easy.
One of the ways to do it is to accept the difference in the way that others see things, and to put enough values on
unity, instead of letting the enemy separate you (2014:102)
The unity between you and everything that you can make work and get to last as a family is something to lean forward
to and focus on, more than success at a job! (2014:182)
Going through battles together is what can strengthen unity. Even if its battles youre going through because of them.
Putting up with them is what strengthens.
Just making it through rough scenes can strengthen unity, your faith, and the things you need to make it through
whats coming. (2015:227)
