Fellowship

I want to apologize for not updating the blog as regularly as I would like to, but that will soon change and together we will again focus on Christ, in Whom we live, move and have our being! Today is another wonderful gift from God, He made it for you- to love, to enjoy and to be what He created you to be! I love the verse in Jeremiah which declares that, His mercies are new every morning, it is a new day especially put together for you!

There is a thought in the Word that I would like to share with you, it is found in 1John 1:7:

"But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]."

And what we have seen thus far, is that those who accepted Christ by His Grace, are those who live in the Light and who walk in the Light, and then the Word goes on to say that this is them who have fellowship with one another! Not those who would like to have fellowship, not those who want to have fellowship, but those who have fellowship with one another. This is who we are, this is what we made to be, to be in fellowship with one another.

This is something that I have seen over and over in ministry, that when people spend time in fellowship, their situations, their feelings and their perspectives radically changes , and this is because of the Blood of Jesus and the Word. I have seen negative people become positive in an instance- and you maybe ask "but for how long?", it differs, but that is why we have "unbroken" fellowship with one another.

The key to understanding this principle, is the understanding (Spirit understanding) of our oneness with Christ, the truth that God has included you in Christ so that you could be His child! Literally put you into Christ. (1Cor 1:30) We are His Body, and just as the physical body needs all it's parts to exist, so to the Body of Christ. (Eph 4:16)

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who has fellowship with me, I really appreciate you! Remember, God loves you dearly!
