Seamless Garment

Psalm 133: 1-3
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the LORD commanded the blessing–
Life forevermore.
NKJV

We see in Scripture and throughout history that where there is unity, there is the anointing of God, the presence of God and the blessing of God.

In this hour, the Lord is calling us to a deeper level of unity than we have even imagined before—far beyond unity between races, sexes or denominations.  He is releasing the anointing of the “seamless garment” and is looking for a people who will simply say “yes.”

John 19:23
When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
NIV

The Word of God is living and powerful (Hebrews 4:12), and so every detail, even the most minute, is not without significance.  Jesus was clothed in a seamless garment, a piece of cloth woven together without division of any kind.  The Lord desires that His body, the Church, be clothed in such a way today, and He is cultivating a people with such mutual respect for one another and such sensitivity to the orchestration of the Holy Spirit that the gifts blend seamlessly.

In our services we will see the remaining walls come down as our Conductor steps forward.  Those who find their security in the predictability of man’s agenda will surely be shaken, and to many, it will appear chaotic.  But those who yearn to truly be led by the Spirit of God will see that this “Divine disruption” will enable us to soar unfettered in the Spirit, outmaneuvering the schemes of the enemy.

As we keep our eyes locked on the “Maestro” of all the ages, we might find ourselves stepping forward to teach in the middle of worship.  We will know when it is time to be silent so that a prophetic vessel can release the Word of the Lord or the evangelist can cast the net of salvation or the pastor can minister healing and deliverance to the hurting or a teenager can demonstrate the power of God through signs and wonders.  We might even sing in the Spirit for hours at a time, with no “worship leader” but the Holy Spirit.  Our music, dance, intercession and art will blend in a crescendo of high praise, and our individual time slots will be engulfed in one “seamless garment” as we offer ourselves to Him and His kingdom purposes to see “His kingdom come” and “His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
