The Facets of Fellowship
But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (Isaiah 53:5 NLT)
My beloved child, Jesus, the Son of God paid a great price for you to walk in complete healing and wholeness in every area of your life. He was beaten, bruised, and broken for you to be healed and whole in your psyche which is where your thoughts begin. The psyche (brain) generates all your thoughts and emotions. Many people need healing emotionally, only I the great I Am can heal emotions. He was beaten, bruised, and broken for you to be healed and whole in your mind (brain), body, finances, relationships, and field of work. If you need healing in any area of your life, it is through daily repentance and communion and spending time in God’s presence that healing will come, but it takes time. Communion is the meal that heals! Daily receiving communion is not just an act of obedience, but it keeps you in constant fellowship with God like Enoch.
Enoch walked with God was in continuous fellowship with Him, in fact, he was closer to heaven than he was on the earth and one day He just walked right into heaven, God took him. (Genesis 5:24) He walked with God for 300 years. It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying- “he disappeared because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5 NLT) Enoch was in fellowship with God. What does it mean to be in fellowship with God? Fellowship in Greek is “koinonia,” and it means “fellowship, communion, joint participation, intimacy, and contact.” Fellowship is found 2842 times in New Testament Scriptures so it must be important to God. Are you in fellowship with God? It was the faith facet of fellowship that came to an end on earth, but his fellowship with God continued in Heaven. You may pass from death in your body to everlasting life, but to be absent from your body is to be present with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:8) The day is soon coming whether you’re in the grave or you’re still on earth – the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NLT)
