Word shared publicly by Elaine Bryson, from Stairway Church, at Church Unite Citywide Prayer Meeting at Crossway Church 20 June 2016
From John 17:17-26
“Thank You Father, that Your Word is consecrating truth
In the same way that you gave me a mission/cause in the world –
I give them a same mission/cause in the world.
Our goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind –
Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you
So that they may be also one heart and mind in us
Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me.
The same glory you gave me, I give them
So they’ll be as unified and together as we are – I in them and you in me.”
“Come to Me, church of My beloved Bride (Melbourne) and let Me love you
For you are mine and I Am yours
I Am your God – I Am first and I Am last
I Am alive and I Am here!
I see what you are doing – your work and persistence (your dislike of pretence)
I see your courage in My cause – that the power of My love will light up and inhabit this City of Melbourne – this beloved City of Mine.
I see you have gathered here tonight, to join as one in this cause and I’m asking this one thing – That you empty your hands of work and take hold of mine and let Me lead you forward into the passion of First Love worship.
I want you to know, beloved, that I will strengthen you in the joy of my pleasure as you continue to seek My Face in your plans for Church Unite 2016 – and to further know in your heart and in your mind that an unprecedented outpouring of My Spirit is upon you!
Church of My beloved bride, be united in Me!
Be bold and courageous as you continue to declare that your identity is found within Me!
Know that the springtime of My delight in you is here! And
I Am so ready to display My glory through you to this beloved City of Mine.
I’ve said it one and I’ll say it again
Come to Me, church of My beloved Bride (Melbourne) and let Me love you
For you are mine and I Am yours
I Am your God – I Am first and I Am last
I Am alive and I Am here!”
