Fellowship with Christ!

“And to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ” Ephesians 3:9

In the middle of last night God spoke this Bible verse and asked me to teach about fellowship with Jesus without the shackles of religion.

The concept of fellowship with God was a mystery for many ages until God revealed His plan of redemption.

God did His work of creation through Jesus, the Son of God. They are one from the beginning of time. If you want God you have to come through Jesus.

Fellowship with Jesus begins with making a decision from the heart to live for Him above else.

Jesus reveals His unsearchable riches to believers who live in oneness with Him. The riches cannot be found through your human intellect. They come from heaven to those who worship Jesus in Spirit and Truth.

Jesus does not hide from a believer who enters into fellowship with Him. He becomes alive and upfront in your life.

Jesus is mysterious because He does not think or act like you.

Fellowship with Jesus is about prayer seeking His will, praising Jesus for who He is and learning to be still and listen for His voice.

Jesus operates through His words which never change so you must read the Bible under the auspices of the Holy Spirit to understand and live by His values.

Fellowship is entering into the suffering of Christ. You will die to self and lose the rights to yourself.

The reality of Jesus will come to those who live under the authority of the Holy Spirit. Jesus reveals His unsearchable riches through the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ and dwells in all believers.

Jesus is a holy and will not become contaminated by your sin.

Your sin is a barrier to fellowship with Jesus. You must come before Jesus confessing your sin and asking Him to cover you with His blood. This is a lifelong responsibility and requires an open heart to conviction and correction.

We all compromise the scruples of Christ. It is very difficult to be a doer of the Word because Jesus is the antithesis of the human spirit.

Jesus desires for you to walk with Him by faith believing in His promises and not by what you see with your eyes. Without faith you cannot please God. Faith is a lifestyle of trusting God for your every need. Faith has to be lived out in both the ups and downs of life.

Fellowship begins with learning who Jesus is and living with Him by faith. The works of Jesus will come out of your obedience to His voice.
