I saw an image of a coral, and I feel that God is saying that just as all the different corals growing together form a safe place with a biodiversity of animals and plants, so we, as the body of believers, should form a safe space where we come together and support and encourage each other. In this way, we will grow and flourish.
I heard God saying, “Beloved, build an oasis for the people of My body. Create a place of safety and support, where My name is glorified. Go out into the marketplace, but when you come back, regroup with the rest of My body. Build each other up and encourage each other in this place. For as the times get darker and persecution will rise, you will need each other and the support system that you have built in these years. So come together and in My presence build a community where you can find nourishment in Me and support each other. “
I was reminded of 1 Corinthians 12:26-27 – “And if one member suffers, all the parts share the suffering; if one member is honored, all rejoice with it. Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body, and individually [you are] members of it [each with his own special purpose and function].”
Let us unite as followers of God, building each other up and supporting each other.
