2 Folds, 1 Flock, 1 God (Yahweh)


He who has ears to hear...

Today while in the secret place like always I prayed for God’s people, the church (Ekklesia) including Israel; plainly speaking all who are the Lord’s Jew or Gentile. I specifically said, “We are of 2 folds but are 1 flock, 1 body” Christ’s body. Holy Spirit has highlighted unity to me these past couple of days and of course unity among the brethren but He didn't stop there, He graciously showed me He means unity among all of His people, Jews & Gentiles. Now, back to the words spoken in my prayer, at that time I did not know what I was about to read in the Word. Usually pray then read the Word; making my petitions known before the Lord, followed by listening for His response through reading the Word.

Today I was in Romans 4 & no doubt Paul’s writings can be deep, next level, or better yet meaty! If you study the Word then you may recall what Scripture says about Abraham in Rom. 4:3 “Abraham believed God, & it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Further in the chapter Paul discusses how David describes the blessedness of a man whose lawless deeds are forgiven & covered to whom God imputes righteousness. Paul then asks the question… how was righteousness accounted to Abraham, while he was circumcised or uncircumcised? The answer: “Abraham received the sign of circumcision which was the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised that he might be father to all who believe” circumcised (Jew) & uncircumcised (Gentile) according to Rom. 4:10-11. Now stay with me, the message of unity among all of God’s chosen people is “Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham” Rom. 4:16 This word teaches us by way of Abraham that no matter if you’re a Jew or Gentile, if you believe according to grace that the promise may be sure to all! The Promise is the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach)! Hallelujah!

Moreover, confirming this revelation is “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd.” John 10:16. Praise be to the Most High! God’s chosen people are God’s chosen people, Jews & Gentiles; 2 folds, 1 flock, 1 God in which there is no distinction! It is critical that we unify as one in Yeshua and function as one body, His body! May the natural tree (Jews) be healed by the wild tree (Gentiles) bearing much fruit and may we stand together as one, ambassadors occupying & preparing for our King’s return in Jesus name, so be it, Amen! Look up, be steadfast our redemption draws near! Finish strong!!! Shalom
