GOD AT WORK
in me
with me
through me
for me
Hebrews 10:24-25
Forsake: to renounce or turn away from entirely.
Assembling: a company of person's gathered for
deliberation
and worship
We need to be faithful in fellowship. We need to be exhorted, encouraged, comforted, nourished, and receive joy in collective worship and service; and also make fellowship of a spiritual nature a personal priority.
I have seen people saved, delivered, and refreshed when the people of God come together in His power and pray.
To isolate ourselves is just what the enemy wants, especially, when we are in the midst of a trial. He wants to torment our minds with worry and struggle. He wants us to try and work things out, but we need to trust God (II Corinthians 3-4; Isaiah 26:3) and also trust those in the body who are spiritual. Philippians 2:1-4
Fellowship is one of the keys to spiritual growth. It occurs when Christians share their walk with God in an atmosphere of love and respect. Fellowship occurs when everyone communicates in love with other believers and the whole assembly becomes strengthened as a result. Sometimes it requires confessing our faults (James 5:16) as we strive to develop a unity of spirit and mind.
Fellowship is so vital that we cannot live for God by ourselves. As we develoop deeper relationships with others, we need the prayer of the righteous, fervent prayer that is effectual or effective (Psalms 34:17-20.)
My beloved saints of God, don't let Satan separate us. We need each other. As you see in the word of God, it is not His will to isolate. Watch the enemy's traps, his lies. He wants to destroy you (St. John 10:10),but it is good and pleasnat for us to dwell together in the spirit of unity. (Psalms 133:1: Philippians 1:27)
We are to strive together.
Strive - serious effort or endeavor.
Be encouraged Ephesians 5:19-21
