Leaving the Church
HE THAT
OVERCOMETH
When the Book of Revelation
is mentioned, most people might think of prophecy and end times. I have read this very confusing book of the Bible many times to try and better my understanding of what is to come in God's final judgement of this world. This is one of my favorite books of the Bible, as well as Daniel and the Gospel of John. Reading and studying Revelation so many times has led me to understand that this awesome message from God is not only about the wrath of God to come, but also about God’s Love and and His promise to the faithful. In Revelation, JESUS tells us to overcome evil and the sins of this world, and then goes on to tell us of the amazing things He will give us and what He has in store for the ones that do overcome evil and temptation.

Are You Christian?...
1Jn 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1Jn 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 1Jn 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1Jn 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. |
FELLOWSHIP
Church fellowship with one another and the Father
If we consider the wishes of the Father in heaven we will understand that He longs for us to fellowship with Him and to fellowship with one another as believers, and to invite visitors into church fellowship. This love that is shared, learned and abided by - is powerful, transforming and provides a guideline to live our daily lives. It gives us a spark of encouragement, feeds our soul and empowers bodies of believers to rely on the Holy Spirit as He teaches!
As watchmen, we must share what we see as we watch and pray.
Fellowship means different things to different people. Whether Christian or
not, fellowship means being around people and sharing ideas. Everyone longs
for that association, that guidance, that encouragement.
We need to invite people into the church, to feed them, to help them understand what God has done for them, so that they might be saved. And not only saved, but learning and growing and contributing to the body of believers! There is no room for lukewarm. Jesus warned not to be lukewarm! We must be fired up and reflect that fire that Jesus put in our hearts - the Holy Spirit of God! He enables us to accomplish all things for God, as He wills!
We are not to be of the world - even though we live in the world. As we look
out over a huge city we see lights and a blur. We see hurry, lack of compassion and a lot of cold concrete. We encounter very little compassion, love, friendship, charity or education of the things that matter most to live a life
that glorifies God. We must be a lantern that burns
brightly - not some small candle
barely glowing under a bushel.
We, as Christians, must shine
brightly as the fire inside us
and allow the Holy Spirit to be
a beacon of safety for those
who are lost as well as fellow
believers!
We fellowship with the Holy
Spirit, with Jesus and with the
Father. In the church body of
believers we uplift each other,
encourage one another and obey
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We edify God and celebrate
what He has for us and what
He has done for us. We celebrate
the sacrifice He gave us and our
freedom from the burden of sin
so that we might be fruitful,
be humble and be servants
that bring glory to God for
all to see.
Phil 1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, Phil 1:5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Phil 1:7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. |
1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. |
Ac 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Ac 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. Ac 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; |
Phil 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. |
