By The Mutual Faith…
Fellowship, like prayer, is one of the most powerful weapons that Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, teaches us to use. It is through fellowship that we build a Christ centered community. It is through fellowship that we make ourselves known and that others are known to us. God created us to live in community with one another. We must never allow this to be broken. In our world today, throughout most of history, the forces of darkness do their best to splinter us, keep us separated one from the other. This is not God’s plan.
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. ~ Romans 12:9-10 NKJB
Paul teaches us that we should long to be with one another. It should be second of the things we ought do, second only to prayer.

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” ~ Matthew 18:20 NKJB
We should not take Paul’s plea lightly.
When we gather together, especially at this time of year when their is a festive atmosphere most everywhere we go, it should be one of the easiest times during a 12 month calendar to spread the name of Jesus Christ, the Gospel. Emmanuel, God with us, walks before us to ensure each step taken is the step He intends for us. We need to continually ask for ears to hear who may need to hear a Word. We should continually seek guidance as the direction our feet should be pointed and our heart to see the one that needs a comforting closeness that only comes when people come together.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. ~ Romans 12:11-12 NKJB
We belong together, in community, bearing witness one to another. We should know when one of us has fallen and make haste to carry our brother or sister to the safety and shelter under the wing of Jesus Christ. Let the anointed Word flow from our tongue to their heart that they may be lifted by the hand of Jesus Christ.
Either the Scripture is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of God, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
