John 17 Movement


Intro:

THIS CENTURY, WE ARE SENSING THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGNLY VISITING HIS PEOPLE WITH A FRESH OPTIMISM AND DESIRE FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH. This is A UNITY NOT BASED ON UNIFORMITY OF DOCTRINE AND PRACTICE, BUT RATHER A RECONCILIATION of relationships CALLING US BACK TO JESUS’ PRAYER IN THE 17TH CHAPTER OF JOHN’S GOSPEL—THAT HIS FOLLOWERS WOULD BE ONE. THAT PRAYER, WE BELIEVE, EXPRESSES THE CLEAR PURPOSE OF SALVATION. SIN’S GOAL IS DIVISION, ENDING WITH EACH OF US BEING ALONE, SEPARATED FROM OUR CREATOR AND EACH OTHER. SALVATION’S GOAL IS TO BRING US INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY BACK INTO HARMONY WITH OUR CREATOR AND EACH OTHER. DISPLAYING THAT HARMONY IS A MAJOR PART OF THE CHURCH’S CALL. IT IS OUR SENSE THAT AWARENESS IS ALREADY AND WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE CENTER STAGE DURING THIS CENTURY. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS STIRRING AT THIS MOMENT, CAUSING A FAITH TO RISE IN THE LORD’S PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, REMINDING US OF JESUS’ WORDS TO HIS FIRST DISCIPLES, “YOU KNOW THE SAYING, IT’S FOUR MONTHS BETWEEN PLANTING AND HARVEST, BUT I TELL YOU WAKE UP, THE HARVEST IS NOW.” (JOHN 4:35)”


But there is no salvation without following God's commandments, and His commandments are part of doctrine, as well as the truth of the Incarnation and many other truths. How can there not be agreement on these? And if they concede that there must be this agreement, then how can they allow such a lie to be printed as Christian?

Universal Teacher and Universal Pastor

But is it really his to appropriate in the name of the Church Universal, as if he had the authority to do so, rather than being a bishop recognizing that the prayer is a valuable part of a Christian tradition that is useful for all?
