Dear CU members , 
I think this is a good point . We are not fighting flesh and blood , but
spiritual powers.
If we are united , I mean truly united in word and in deed , we would be
able to go forward. Being united , is something that will only become clear
later , when the aspirits are made clear. I am thinking of the words of
Jesus : you will recognise the spirits by their fruits.
At the moment the fruits are bad, because disunity rules the waves so to
say. 
Lets try and seek unity and then go forward, this unity needs to be as in
Acts 2 and 4 , a unity of heart and mind and soul, and then we can start,
and then we will see where further changes , but this time as a body , need
to take place.
What do you think?
