[The Word: Fusion]
Chapter seventeen of the book of John
Huh, there's a powerful example of, of Jesus praying, for Himself, and then praying for His disciples, and then praying for everybody else
In the first prayer for Himself, He makes this statement, He says:
"4 I have glorified you, Father on the earth. I have finished the work which you have sent me here to do. 5 And now, O Father, give me glory, glorify me together with yourself, with the glory which I had with you before the world was." - John 17:4-5
Remember when we said, "1 In the beginning was the Word," - John 1:1 He goes on then to pray for the rest, of all who would hear His word through His disciples. When you think about it, everyone that has ever been saved, from then to now - it happened through eleven guys who believed in what they experienced, and preached the good news even when it was tough. They chose to abide no matter what the storm looked like. We're here today because of, a few faithful men.
He goes on to pray, He says, in verse twenty of chapter seventeen - the last prayer, the third prayer:
"20 I do not pray for these alone…" - speaking of His disciples "… "but I also, for those, I pray for those who will believe in me through their word" - the disciples' word
"21 That they may all be one, as you Father are in me, I am in you, that they also may be one in us. That the world may believe that you sent me." (Amen) - John 17:20-21
The process called, "Fusion." Fusion is, huh an example of two particles or two previously separate things becoming one and… Fusion is the process a result of joining two or more things together to form a single entity. Fusion is the process - watch this, that powers the Sun and the Stars. The, the most significant energy force in our world of existence is powered by two things becoming one.
Can I tell you that Jesus came, not just to show you the way and teach you some good things? He came so that He could show you what it looked like to have God abide in flesh, not appearing as Man, but being fully Man, and also being empowered, and energized, and fused with the Creator, the Most High, the One who can do all things, the One that there is nothing impossible. Come on, you're not just called to follow after. You're called to be one with, the God who made you from the head, to the toes, from the beginning, to the end, come on.
Tonight, if you want to be fused with, your Creator - let's raise our hands to the heavens right now. Father, we invite You to come, whatever is in us that doesn't belong, kick it out; serve it its eviction notice. God, Your presence is all we want, Your love is all we need, Your gifts are all we require. God, we thank You that tonight, all we have to do is turn our hearts towards You, lift up our hands - as darkness flees, heaven runs to us.
Tonight, there's no space, no space between us. God, You're running to our hearts. There's no space tonight, come on.
[Bridge]
