Perfected In Unity

John 17: 21, 23

That they all may be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

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, even as You have loved Me.

Jesus prayed this prayer as our High Priest, interceeding for us, revealing His desires for us. 

Here He is asking the Father to grant us, His church, a unity, a oneness of agreement that is extraordinary, so much so that the World will see it and have to acknowledge Jesus. 

O my Father, You do care about this whole World of men and women. Jesus prayed for the whole World to believe and know.

I know from Your Word that You have not chosen to redeem every person in thus mileu, this stream of Time from Eternity past to Eternity future; but You do want them all to recognize the unity of the Godhead, and our unity in You as Your chosen out of the World.

So I suppose that You want to verify to those of the World their personal rebellion and worthiness of the wrath You will pour out on them.

Father, grant me to see with Your eyes, that I may "understand the times, with knowledge of what [America] should do" (I Chronicles 12:32). 

Continue to wake up Your church, Lord, along with all those patriots who love America. Enable us to return to Your righteous ways that prompted You to bless this Nation in the past above all the other Nations. Please show us how to return to the greatness You want for us, before the end.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
