Mark spoke by The Holy Spirit in chapter 3:
31 Then Jesus’ mother and his brothers came and stood outside and sent a message to him, asking that he come out and speak with them. 32 When the crowd sitting around Jesus heard this, they spoke up, and said to him, “Jesus, your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
33 He answered them saying, “Who is my true mother and my true brothers?” 34 Then looking in the eyes of those who were sitting in a circle around him, he said, “Here are my true family members. 35 For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and my mother!”
A true family will live in unity and that unity can only be achieved if everyone is in one accord. When you and I submit to FATHER’S Perfect Will, we are family thus you are my true brothers and sisters. We can fellowship and share our deepest thoughts and revelation with each other. We can be open and vulnerable for we have no concern of being manipulated or enslaved.
If I have a natural brother who worships idols, the only relationship I can truly have is to minister to him by showing him the Love of Christ. However, we cannot have true fellowship for he is blinded to the true Spiritual. He will seek out the natural and carnal for satisfaction whereas I focus on the Spiritual and walk in joy. His happiness is fleeting whereas my joy is eternal.
It is also written by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:
42 Every believer was faithfully devoted to following the teachings of the apostles. Their hearts were mutually linked to one another, sharing communion and coming together regularly for prayer. 43 A deep sense of holy awe swept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 All the believers were in fellowship as one body, and they shared with one another whatever they had. 45 Out of generosity they even sold their assets to distribute the proceeds to those who were in need among them. 46 Daily they met together in the temple courts and in one another’s homes to celebrate communion. They shared meals together with joyful hearts and tender humility. 47 They were continually filled with praises to God, enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord kept adding to their number daily those who were coming to life.
When we are submitting and being led by The Holy Spirit, our hearts are linked to each other. We then desire to meet the needs of others because we know their motives which are pure. We have no problem in being generous to those who will not abuse our willingness to give.
Do we simply discard our natural family? Of course not, we simply continue to minister Agape Love to them as well as offer up prayers on their behalf. We are not to promote division and separation even though it may occur because of their actions. FATHER is in the restoration business and so are we.
There are times we must distance ourselves from loved ones so that FATHER’S judgment can be applied without interference. During these times we should intercede on their behalf but not interfere. It can be difficult because you simply want the best in their lives but you must allow righteous judgment to come forth. Otherwise, you delay the inevitable which can actually be worse if delayed.
When I call you my beloved brother or sister, I mean it. It is not flattery rather it is a term of endearment. If you and I are in one accord, we are true brothers and sisters and can support each other through the trials we each face. We can openly share revelation and support each other’s growth. Isn’t this what a true family in one accord does?
