One [more]

We know from 1 Corinthians 6:17 that we are One Spirit with the Lord...
But did you know that, according to John 10:30, that means we are One with the Father as well?
Remember your math...if a = b and b = c, then a = c.
If we are One with Jesus, and Jesus is One with the Father, then we must be One with the Father as well.
"...that they may all 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.
‘Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.”’ [John 14:23]
"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." [John 17:2,23]
And get this...
"...Believe THE WORKS, so that you may KNOW and UNDERSTAND that the Father is IN Me and I in the Father." [John 10:38]
The works are the proof of unity with the Father! No wonder He told us that we would do greater works than He did...He knew that we would be One with Him AND with the Father!
That's why He instructed us to speak to mountains and trees and the sick and the dead! He was telling us how to operate in the earth after we became One with Him...
And the Holy Spirit promised in Ephesians 3 that we would be filled up to ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD! Colossians 1:11 says ‘...strengthened with ALL power according to HIS glorious might…’
Think about it.
