Revelation 7:9 (NKJV) After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
This is God's finish line for His church, it was His desire all along, that all different diversities would come together as one family. We are living stones, each stone unique in shape and color, and necessary to be built together with other unique stones to become the Temple in which the Spirit of God lives. There is great racial tension today, and coupled with it, great injustices where the powerful are not held accountable. And while the Kingdom of this World is divided, it is not so with the Church. This is our moment, when the Church comes together represented by every color, tribe, nation, and shows the world that we are stronger together. When we do this, victory comes, oppression lifts, and a great awakening happens in the hearts of men. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr believed the church would have to lead the way in the world, that we would birth the dream he prophesied into our nation's future; and that dream starts in the church. Studies show that only 7% of Churches in America are diverse. Now is our time, churches of America, to reach beyond the walls that divide us, and penetrate the fabric of another's heart with honor and love, to knit them in to the church, that every church family in America might be imitate the heart of God, every tribe, every nation, every people, every tongue, coming together into a beautiful coat of many colors, a tapestry, a wonderful mosaic. We are truly stronger together!
