Oneness and the importance of honoring one another’s Journeys

  10/9/2019

Each believer and each ecclesia experiences a 2-fold Journey.

  • A Faith-Journey into possessing the Promises.
  • A Journey of Discovery into the Revelation of Mysteries.

Our Personal Journey / the Journeys of our ecclesias are our perception of Truth. 

  • We speak a language that comes from those Journeys.
  • We look at other believers / ecclesias through the lens of our own experience of the Journey.

Before coming to OUB I had initial revelation of several Mysteries.

  • I knew that the Kingdom is for now and I knew that I had already entered it.
  • I knew that Overcoming is a major part of the Journey.
  • I knew that Fathering was part of my destiny.

My Journey has been as part of many Benches.

  • The Heaven and Earth Lovers Bench.
  • Various Benches within OUB whose mandates have been completed.
  • The emerging OUB Bench of 12.
  • My Journey is a combining of personal forerunning and the forerunning of each of these Benches.

Each of us has a similar experience of Journey.

  • We are on a Personal Journey.
  • And we are on various Journeys together with one or more ecclesias.
  • (Benches are ecclesias.)

OUB’s Journey has included various Journeys.

  • A Journey into Forerunning (Discovery).
  • A Journey into Fathering.
  • A Journey into Overcoming (Maturing in Victory).
  • In 2018 we began a Journey into Oneness.

Oneness is a current mandate in the Ecclesia. 

  • It is time for individual believers to experience restoration of Oneness with God.
  • For individuals to be restored to Oneness with one another.
  • Individuals in the same ecclesia.
  • And individuals in different ecclesias.
  • This is all preparation for ecclesias to become One with one another.

Oneness is not loss of personal identity.

  • As an individual or as an ecclesia.
  • We have the Godhead as an example of this.
  • 3 are One and yet remain as 3.

Oneness is always for the purpose of working together.

  • The 3 members of the Godhead each have specific identities and functions.
  • They work together to accomplish mandates that require the contributions of all 3.

These 2 truths go together.

  • “I and My Father are One.”
  • “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
  • Those who are One work together in Oneness.

I call this “Functional Oneness”.

  • All Oneness is “Functional Oneness”.

The Oneness of the Godhead is the model for all Oneness.

  • The Oneness of the Godhead is Functional Oneness.
  • (It is also relational and intimate.)

Functional Oneness is the result of an overlapping of destiny.

  • Destiny includes specific mandates that we are destined to complete.
  • This is as true of ecclesias as it is of individuals.

The purpose for this article is to lay the Foundation for Oneness.

  • Oneness between individuals.
  • Oneness between ecclesias.
  • But especially, between leaders of ecclesias.

That Foundation has been laid.

We are all on a Journey towards Oneness.

  • If you didn’t know it before you do know it now. 🙂
