To All Believers, Christians, Saints, Jews And Gentiles In Christ
The Way To Unity, Equality, Oneness In Christ Church Which Is His People!
By Apostle James R Winfree Sr,
[This message is to all of God's people, Believers, Christians, Saints and Believing Jews and Gentiles)
We are blessed to witness this splendid occasion of God's people coming together to express publicly our commitment to the long neglected doctrine , Christian, Saints Love, Unity, Equality and Oneness in Christ Body His loving Church Family.
We stand boldly together this evening against every divisive spirit in the universe as we confidently declare with One Voice that we shall endeavor to keep the Unity of the Spirit and to protect the harmony of the sacred body of Jesus Christ in God's Equality and His awesome grace and love.
We gather this day as the body of Christ with the Godly determination to reflect the divine unity, equality, love, oneness that exists within the Godhead between Father, Son, and Spirit. We stand as one person, in one spirit, against every strategy of division devised by the evil forces of hell.
Paul's letter to the Philippians serves as a passionate plea that encourages every generation of Believers, Christians, Saints to stand united against such divisive opponents as social separatism, spiritual segregation, congregational competition, religious rivalry and disunity in the body of Christ.
The letter to the Philippians is designed to inspire Believers, Christians, Saints to embrace one another with the humble attitude of Christ. This was a timely message for the church at Philip because it was under assault from within and without by people motivated by a toxic mindset of carnal egotism.
A selfish, self-promoting, self-seeking and self-centered spirit threatened to tear apart the spiritual fabric of the fellowship in the Philippian church. There were hidden agendas driven by individualism and selfish ambition that caused members in the church at Philippi to competitively pursue the satisfaction of their own interests to the neglect of the interests of others.
There was a major disagreement between two prominent members in the Philippian church. This bitter conflict threatened to split the Philippian congregation into two warring camps with two separate loyalties dedicated to two powerful personalities.
This potential church split led Paul to plead with Euodia and with Syntyche in 4:1-2 to agree with each other in the Lord. Regardless of what divided them Paul knew the only way for them to resolve the conflict between them was for both of them to rely upon their mutual agreement they could find only in their common Lord.
Paul's advice to the Philippians is still true for the church today. No matter what serves as the basis of our disagreements in the church today, the only place we are going to find total mutual agreement is in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Paul does not take sides in this dispute between Eudia and Syntyche. He does not rule in favor for one against the other. He simply instructs both sides to step into the Lordship of Christ.
It is only through the Lordship of Christ that Christians are able to stand in unity with each other. It is only through the Lordship of Christ that we are able to give up our attempts to use human strategies and solutions to defeat the other side. It is only through the Lordship of Christ that we shall find agreement in the midst of an array of theological differences.
It is the Lordship of Christ that stands at the center of our relationships with one another and not doctrinal arguments and theological positions. It is the Lordship of Christ that enables us to discuss our theological differences without expressing a mean spirit of negativity towards one another.
In Philippians 2:1-2, Paul gives more sound instruction that serves as the spiritual solution for the ugly problem of infighting within the Philippian church. He tells the church to have the same mind, to have the same love, and to be one in spirit and purpose.
Paul knows that when the church of Jesus Christ is united within through a common love, a common spirit, and a common purpose, there is no external opposition that is powerful enough to obstruct the holy mission of the church.
Paul says in Philippians 1:27, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you."
Next, in Philippians 2:5-11 Paul uses Jesus as the supreme example of what it means to pour oneself out on behalf of others, and as an example of what it means to lose so that others might win.
If Jesus' example is truly followed, it will inspire both sides in church conflict to give up their need to be right and the need to prove the other side as being wrong. Jesus' example will inspire both sides to give up their need to experience the thrill of victory as well as their need for the other side to suffer the agony of defeat.
Jesus is in the Godhead. He is in perfect harmony with the Father and the Holy Spirit. There is no conflict, rivalry or competition between members of the Godhead and neither should there be conflict, rivalry and competition between the members of the body of Christ.
I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in Unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them,
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in Unity!
until we all attain to the Unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ
Paul understood that if we spend all our time and energy seeking to tear down and discredit one another in the body of Christ, we will not be able to stand firm in one spirit and to contend as one man for the faith of the gospel.
Paul reminds us that for Christians there is never justification for ever doing the wrong thing in the life of another human being, no matter how convicted we are of that person's wrongness. Just because someone differs with us theologically, we are not justified in treating that person or group with a mean spirit of hatred. It is not sensible to hate someone simply because they disagree with us on the correct interpretation of Love. We shall never find justification for hating and despising someone in the name of Christian love.
For {this} is not for the ease of others {and} for your affliction, but by way of Equality--
Some Believers, Christians, Saints feel they cannot work out their problems and differences unless they have certain personalities present to do the work for them. The salvation of the church is not in any human personalitybut only in Christ Jesus our Lord The soon coming King.
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard Equality, Unity and Christ Love with God a thing to be grasped,
at this present time your abundance {being a} {supply} for their need, so that their abundance also may become {a supply} for your need, that there may be Equality, Unity and God's Love in Christ Jesus.
All Believers, Christians, Saints today must realize that we have what it takes in Christ to work out our salvation. We can work out the salvation in our marriages. We can work out the salvation of our families. We can work out the salvation of our congregations. We can work out the salvation of our friendships. Paul says in 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
It is possible in the power of Christ for Believers, Christians, Saints to erase the color line in the body of Christ.
It is possible in the power of Christ for Believers, Christians, Saints to overcome class warfare in the body of Christ.
It is possible in the power of Christ for Believers, Christians, Saints to exalt the interests of others above their own.
It is possible in the power of Christ to exalt the Body of Christ above the body politic.
It is possible in the power of Christ for Believers, Christians, Saints to exalt the Christian party above the Democrat or Republican parties.
It is possible in the power of Christ for Christians to relate to each other as brothers and sisters instead of liberal and conservatives.
Let us make the solid commitment tonight to refuse to use the church as a vehicle to promote our personal agendas of vain conceit and selfish ambition. We as the church have gathered this evening to commit ourselves to doing all we can through the power of Christ to protect and defend the unity of the Holy Spirit in the bond of peace.
Yes, we gather this evening as the body of Christ with the Godly determination to reflect the divine unity that exists within the Godhead between Father, Son, and Spirit. We stand as one person, in one spirit, against every strategy of division devised by the evil forces of hell.
We will soar above division.
We will soar above competition.
We will soar above rivalry.
We will soar above separatism.
We will soar above selfish ambition.
We Welcome all questions and comments about supporting the ministry of Apostle James R.

It is our prayer that Jesus Christ, Love, Unity, Equality will rise in your heart and with confidence you will posses the purpose and destiny that God has ordained for you and to all Believers, Christians, Saints.
