How important are relationships? So important that Jesus died on the Cross to ensure that we could attach, bond and relate successfully. Relationships can either be your greatest source of belonging, meaning, strength and joy or they can be problematic. Loneliness and isolation are at the core of our pain. We need one another to heal and to grow.
“Christ brought us together through his death on the Cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you…He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father.
That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here…” Ephesians 2, The Message. Because we belong in Kingdom connection and relationships, are equals in Christ, share his Spirit, and have equal access to Father; we are inviting you to join us in Kingdom Prophetic Society.
Alan and I share the relational desire and passion that John and Charles Wesley had in the move of God in the 17th century. They set up ‘society’s’ which were groups of encouragement and support to the many who were responding to the Gospel. The same ‘connecting’ is very attainable through this powerful tool God has made available.
“Now because of Christ—dying that death, shedding that blood—you who were once out of it all together are in on everything. The Messiah has made things up between us so that we’re now together on this…He tore down the wall we used to keep each other at a distance.” Ephesians 2, The Message.
With all walls of separation torn down, may we embrace one another as brothers and sisters in Christ with the purity of motive that comes from the finished, relational work of Christ on the Cross! As we choose to connect, we can partner in sharing this Gospel of Grace around the globe. Jesus continues to preach peace through our relational integrity. In so doing, we can be a part of answering the prayer of Jesus in John 17.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you loved me.” John 17:20-23, The Message.
In the grip of Papa’s relational grace! Ron Ross
Kingdom Prophetic Society Announces:
New Interactive Social Network
We are launching our new Christian social network through the Kingdom Prophetic Society located on the web @ www.kingdompropheticsociety.org . Our goal is to bring together the different parts of the Body of Christ in a format in which they can interact with each other. Our hope is that this interaction will help create a synergy for the Holy Spirit's power, which will set fires of revival throughout the world. We realize that this is a grandiose idea, but our God is the author of the impossible.
This network has a format that includes your own personal profile page in which you may give details of who you are and any ministry web pages and information you would like to contribute. It also has a chat room, a forum, and a blog where society members can post articles and ideas. Our main focus will be to hear about what God is doing behind the scenes on behalf of the church around the world. Come and join us. We need you!
Blessings,
Alan Smith and Ron Ross
