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. 🙂
