IT IS ABOUT FELLOWSHIP

-

Revelation 3:20

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Relationship is a two way affair, it becomes a burden or domineering when it comes one way.

When we make our relationship with God a one way affair we wonder why we don't have complete happiness even when our desires are met.

It is not about the needs or the wants it is about fellowship . . . Jesus said:

Matthew 6: 8, 32
"Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
"For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Jesus makes all the difference, He is the one who reveals the Father to us and in this our joy is full. Not because of the things, but because of Him. When we get this right, then our joy may be full.

John 15:11
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

John 16:24
"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

It is about fellowship!

1Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1John 1:3
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Really nothing in this world can satisfy, we will keep seeking for more and more. What really we desire is full joy NOT earthly possessions, pleasures and achievements, they cannot give us that. What it gives is only temporary we will thirst again.

John 4:13-14
Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
"but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."

The worries and troubles of this life could make our mind wonder away, only to think of needs, wants and solutions.

Some ministers have also derailed making those that follow them miss the way. They even teach the error that "these things" are "the importance", so people don't seek or have fellowship with the Lord anymore but seek "all these things".

I do not understand what it is with man and domineering? They did be careful for it is dangerous to try to take God's place.

Let us remember as we fellowship with other believers that we fellowship with the Father, in the name of the Son through His Spirit for then will our joy be full.

I see us enjoying our relationship with God this last quarter of the year.

He calls us blessed.

Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
