When the cover for Christian Unity Through God's Starter Kit by Jesus was being designed, we decided to show a church that was cracked and splintered because there are 38,000 different denominations of Christianity worldwide and 1,500 in the USA. Matthew 12:25, "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them. Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself

shall not stand: " United we stand. Divided we fall. God never, never, never, never designed His church to be divided; First Corinthians 12:12-14, 25-27, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many... That there should be no schism [schisma - break, divide, division, rent] in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."

Colossians 1:18-19, "And He [Jesus] is the Head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell."

We are committing spiritual suicide as Christians as we continue to divide the church along denominational, racial, and nationality lines. Every new denomination was created through a misunderstanding of God's Word that caused the division. Christian Unity Through God's Starter Kit by Jesus was designed, by divine revelation, to unite the Church so we can come together and begin to fight our one and only enemy on this earth, satan and his demons. We are constantly looking at people as our problem instead of realizing that our "problem" is a spiritual battle with satan and his demons. Through the Armor of God, we begin to realize the authority we have in the spiritual realm to defeat the evil spirits causing the division in our cities, counties, states, countries and world governments.

Genesis chapters 1 and 2 tell us we are all invisible, immortal spirits living in a body of flesh.

Our spirit beings are created by God and placed in our body to become a living soul in our mother's womb when we are conceived, and then begins our journey to fulfill God's plan for our lives. When we determine to do things God's way and are born again, and Colossians 1:13 tells us God has

delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son, and then God gives us a starter kit through Jesus of truth, righteousness, sanctification, justification, glorification, holiness, remission, redemption, mercy, grace, and peace with God, we can take that "starter kit' and become wise, righteous, sanctified, just, trustworthy, holy, redeemed, merciful, compassionate peacemakers and be able to take the Shield of Faith and quench ALL the "fiery darts of the wicked" as Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us about our spiritual battle and the "Armor of God."

God's Blessings,
