HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR CHRISTIANS TO OBEY JOHN CHAPTER 17

Quote: Saint John Chapter 17 verse 22-23 NIV

" 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 have loved me."


Every Christian Body, every Christian Church, every Christian Denomination, declares that they believe the Sum of the Writings in the Holy Bible are the "Word's of God" given unto men, via the Third part of the Elohim; the Holy Spirit. Yet, sadly; many individual Christians literally deceive themselves, thinking they are following the Teachings of Jesus, when, all the while; They refuse to obey the simple Prophetic Prayer of their Lord, their King, their Savior, their Messiah; for every day of their life, they ignore the truth that Jesus HAS ALREADY made them ALL into ONE BODY, of which HE / Yeshua-Jesus is their head. In First Corinthians Chapter 12 verses 12-13 NIV  "The Body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all it's parts are many, they form one body. So too with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into ONE BODY -- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the ONE SPIRIT to drink."  <> i.e. {Yahweh/Holy Spirit} Yet, whether as individual's, or, as recognized Church Units, many are in action, found practicing self righteous separation from others of their own choosing.  Could that be the reason, Jesus said soon before leaving the Earthly Realm; saying: "When I return, Will I find true faith in the Earth?"


After experiencing death two times, in 93' & 94'; After experiencing Jesus returning me to my body healthy, having seen Jesus HIMSELF; By  late 1996, the Lord drew and constrained me to do a thorough study of Saint John Chapter 17; commonly called by Many Ancient Theologians; "The Prophetic Prayer of Jesus". The more I did reference studies throughout all Epistles of the Roman Provincial Senator For Life, turned Apostle to the Gentiles <> Paul of Tarsus; I found that at the very core of every teaching, at the root of every thought, his very Foundation was that recorded by Saint John the Beloved in his Gospel, Chapter 17. The more I studied, the more I saw that Christendom is like a huge interwoven spiritual Body, being created by our Lord, held together by commonality of Salvation & Baptism & Holy Communion; with it's "Life blood" being in reality, {Yahweh} the Holy Spirit.  I began to see an emense living spiritual organism, made of identifiably separate units, yet all together, making up ONE BRIDE of Christ. But, as I turned to look at the Fleshy World of Christendom, I saw what that old Senator-Apostle saw! I saw a living Body literally tearing away at it's own members like some morbid demon possessed human; having in effect, become a SPIRITUAL CANNIBAL of itself!


And as sad as it is in reality, I saw, and still see, Believers in Jesus> Laity, & Pastors-Prophets-Teachers-Apostles-Evangelists-Bishops, teaching by action, and by word: Each other: That division, separation, competition, strife, and in some sad cases, even self righteous pride, and utter hatred was and is, acceptable. Yet! At the same time, the same go about, not understanding why the world of un-believers has grown. Why other "religions" are growing in some cases, much faster. Why Cults are able to deceive and draw people into their control. (And), many go about, shaking their heads in wonderment; asking; "Why are our Churches shrinking?"  Could it be, that because the Church, the Body of Jesus Christ, is so busy competing with itself, that the Commandment of Jesus has utterly been forgotten? For in, Matthew Chapter 5 verses 43 - 48: NIV Jesus teaches; "You have heard it was said, 'love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." And again, did Jesus not teach in Matthew 7:verses 3-6, saying; "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time, there is a plank in your own eye! (?) You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Yet!  Every day, every week, every month, every year, Theologians and Seminary Teachers, Pastors, and Denomination Leaders, and even Independent Church Pastors, in affect, bite and devour one another from their separate pulpits, as they go about denouncing their counterparts in some other pastor and portion of the same spiritual Body of the Bride of Christ, of whom Jesus is the Head, and {Yahweh}, the Holy Spirit is the life blood, sealing, and coursing through their inner beings, unto the "Day of Salvation".  All the while, telling themselves, they have 'All Knowlege & Wisdom in understanding God's Word', when in reality, they too, are no more than mere FINITE Person's, needing the Infinite to direct their lives.
And that is why; When that Roman Provincial Senator turned Apostle to the Gentiles, wrote the treatise to the Leaders of the separate 124 functioning Congregations, scattered across Corinth, (A City-State in square miles, the equal of the U.S. State of Rhode Island); He called their separation, self righteousness, divisions, competing, and strife, the same as Spiritual Cannibalism.


In 2006, after 10 years of experiencing the "specialness" of ministering fully Ordained, but to, through, in and with Ministers & Laity of several numerous Denomination's and Independent Ministries across the United States; At the admonishment of several long time Pastor's - Superintendent's - Bishop's of several different National & International & Inter-Racial Christian Denomination's and Independent Ministries, of many year's experience each; Healing of the Nation's Ministries was founded, to better aid and facilitate the spreading of the Saving, Forgiving, Restorative Gospel, of Jesus Christ, and to give opportunity for Minister's of different Denominational & Racial Backgrounds, to do co-operative ministries, as a living testimony unto the Supreme Truth of the "Prophetic Prayer of Jesus" recorded in Chapter 17 of Saint John's Gospel. So, therefore; a Board of Accountability was established, being made up of Bishops-Pastors-Superintendents-Seminary Teachers- (&) - International Mission Evangelists, representing 06 different Denominational backgrounds and 04 different racial groups, to be ready advisors to the Founder and Board of Directors of Healing of the Nation's Ministries.
