Shalom,

John is my favorite Gospel and these are some of my favorite portions! John 17:14-17:

14 I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world [do not belong to the world], just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.

The Word of God IS the ONLY real TRUTH there is! Line everything in your life up next to the Word of the Living God! Whatever does not line up, leave it off! Meditate day and night in the Word and treat it as your FINAL AUTHORITY! IT IS! Verses 20-23 are also very encouraging, as JESUS was praying for US!

20 Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, 21 That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. 22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: 23 I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

THIS is why we are really here! Ambassadors of Heaven showing God's Kingdom to a lost world so that they will seek HIS face and be saved! Let's be about our Father's business, doing our job well so that WE can hear "WELL DONE" and THEY can know HIM! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "GO":

Shalom in Him!
