John 17:23 I in them, and thou
in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that
thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
As you can see by this
scripture, that this prayer was from Jesus’ heart. His body is meant to walk
in unity. The Body of Christ must come together as one.
Rom 15:5 Now the God of patience
and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to
Christ Jesus:
Rom 15:6 That ye may with one
mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 15:7 Wherefore receive ye
one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and
meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and
one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one
baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of
all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Eph 4:7 But unto every one of us
is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the
unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect
man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be
no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of
doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in
wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth
in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16 From whom the whole
body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth,
according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh
increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Eph 4:17 This I say therefore,
and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk,
in the vanity of their mind,
Eph 4:18 Having the
understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the
ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Col 3:14 And above all these
things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of
God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be
ye thankful.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the
Lord.
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of
them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them
that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all
things common.
Acts 4:33 And with great power
gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great
grace was upon them all.
Acts 4:34 Neither was there any
among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold
them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Acts 4:35 And laid them down at
the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he
had need.
Here is how, by faith we are to
walk in unity
Eph 4:22 That ye put off
concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to
the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the
new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away
lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of
another.
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin
not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27 Neither give place to
the devil.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stole
steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing
which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy
Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with
all malice:
Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to
another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you.
Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore
followers of God, as dear children;
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as
Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a
sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Paul prayed this prayer:
Eph 3:16 That he would grant
you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by
his Spirit in the inner man;
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 May be able to
comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and
height;
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness
of God.
Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is
able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to
the power that worketh in us,
Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in
the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the
prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and
meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and
one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one
baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of
all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
2 Cor
5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Below is a prayer for unity and harmony.
Father, in the name of Jesus,
this is the confidence we have in You, if we ask anything according to Your
will, You hear us: and since we know that you hear us, whatsoever we ask, we
know that we have the petitions that we desire of You. Your Word and Your
Will are one in the same.
Father, you said behold They are
one people, and they all have one language; and this is only the beginning of
what they will do; and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be
impossible to them. Gen.11: 6 Amplified Bible We declare by the name of our
Lord Jesus that all of us in Your body are in perfect harmony, and in full
agreement in what we say, and there are no dissensions or factions or
divisions among us; but that we are perfectly united in our common
understanding and in our opinions and judgments.
Holy Spirit You have taught us
how to agree (harmonize together, together make a symphony) about anything and
everything, so that whatever we ask will come to pass and be done for us by
our Father in heaven.
We declare as members of the
Body of Christ, we do live as becomes us, with complete lowliness of mind
(humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness and mildness) with
patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because we love one
another. In the name of Jesus, we are eager and strive earnestly to guard and
keep the harmony and oneness (produced by) the Holy Spirit in the binding
power of peace
We declare in the name of Jesus
and according to the power of God at work in us, that we are of one and the
same mind (united in spirit)
sympathizing (with one another)
loving (each the others) as brethren of one household), compassionate and
courteous--- tenderhearted and humble-minded. We never return evil for evil or
insult for insult, scolding, tongue lashing, berating; but on the contrary
blessing, praying for their welfare, joy, and protection and truly pitying and
loving one another. For we know that to this we have been called, that we may
ourselves inherit blessings from God, obtain blessings as heirs, bringing
welfare and joy and protection.
Father, thank You that Jesus has
given to us glory and honor which you gave Him, that we may be one, even as
You and Jesus are one: Jesus in us and You in Jesus, in order that we may
become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and definitely
recognize that You sent Jesus and that You love us as You have loved Jesus.
Father, thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven, Amen
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering
saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto
you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto
you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:25 And
when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father
also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
This prayer is a prayer of faith ( calling those things that be not as
though they were) Rom 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many
nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God
who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
