Joy Dawson, a prophetic woman, who has been around the things of the spirit for some time. In this book she shares some of the wisdoms that have been developed over those years. A heritage that she passes on to us that will yield to the spirit of God. There are some experiences that she shares with us, but everything is steeped in the word of God as well. This is not a book of experiences alone; its a serious study of true unity with the Spirit and with men and women through the spirit through the study of the word of God. Time to dive into what has been offered.
One gem that she shares: oneness is not sameness. in fact, diversity grounded in unity can be an asset...
Also that God has a way of using spiritual leaders to bring unity. He is never in a mold, Holy Spirit's moving is not predictable. He is unique and so different in His ways.
I liked the explanation of the working together of the 5 ministry gifts; that they HAVE to work together. It cannot just be one or even two. My favorite is the comparison of the Apostles being the concrete, Prophets- steel, All the foundation which is essential. From there was the Evangelist as the doors, the Teacher as the framework and the the dividing walls and the Pastor as the roof and windows that represent the shepherd/covering. Too often I see just the Pastor or the pastor/teacher trying to do everything and its no wonder, we never really seem to get anywhere (if we are honest). It seems like we move forward to a degree and then go no further. Unity and Teamwork is something that Joy speaks of often in many different ways. True Unity, True Teamwork; not just the words of it but in demonstration! Forgiveness is also a very necessary part of that teamwork and unity which is also something very important that Joy speaks about in one of the chapters of this book.
I received a FREE copy of this book from Chosen Publishers
