Unity, anointing, and blessing go together. Without God’s anointing by His Holy Spirit, there can be no unity. Where people are not united in His Spirit, there is no blessing of God. In Psalm 133, David conveyed in three short verses that the Holy Spirit’s presence in the lives of His people brings unity that
