The session started with an invitation for people to share a testimony about what God has been doing in them during the Summit.

Many years ago David Smethurst prophesied that God was doing something here at Peace but it would be a slow, gradual process. It would be strong, but pure.

God is relational. One God but three persons – a community so bound together that it is one God.

If God was anything other than 3 person He could not be love, nor holy nor perfect.

If God was only one person prior to creation, there would be no love. Likewise if there were only 2, it would be just a mutual admiration society.

Here is the perfection of Holy love. Our responsibility is to become a community like the Trinity.

This mature community is supposed to be attainable in God’s grace.

John 17. Prayer in 3 parts

1. Jesus’s relationship with Father
2. The 11 apostles
3. Those who would come later – us

V.11 He asks that the people following Him then, be one as Jesus and Father are one.

This is meant to be on the earth, not for heaven only. This is why apostles are being released, so the community can be established.

V. 21 Jesus prayed that the ones to come will all be one… so that the world may know (v. 23).

Ephesians 4. A prophetic statement that Christ continues to give apostles etc until we all cone to the unity of the faith, measuring up to the fullness of Christ. What is this measure? That we are one with Him and with each other.

John 17:20-24. Christ has given us His glory,so that the world will see that God loves them.

A lot of people are happy with an ordinary salvation – happy life, no problems, no suffering. This is not salvation. We are to be raised above the angels with a kind of fellowship with God that is more profound than we can imagine.

He wants to transform us to lift us into this unity with God.
