How to Cultivate Fellowship with God The Vital Role of the Word and Prayer By Rachel Floreen
Description
A helpful way to understand this important topic is to ponder on the questions that the teacher took to ask the audience in her introduction.
What is fellowship? Communion, intimate relationship with someone
else. With others, with God.
Say you’re going out to coffee with your best friend…what does that
look like?
Do you get dressed up? Maybe wear the earrings she gave you for
your last birthday? (Preparation)
Do you try to get there on time, or do you completely forget about it?
Do you linger long, or do you spend your time trying to get away
from the conversation so you can go back to normal life? (Priority)
Do you pick a place to meet that you know she likes? Do you greet
her warmly when she arrives? Do you LIKE being with her?
(Knowing him well, preferring him)
When she talks, do you listen, or do you ignore her and try to think
about what you want to say next? (Listening)
Do you laugh with her? If there are things bothering her, do you
empathize or just leave her to her own sorrows and troubles? (Heart
conformed to his heart)
When you chat with her, do you hide your true feelings from her, or
do you let her see the real you? Do you need her help and advice, and
do you ask for it? Do you respond to what she says? (Honesty, open
and free communication)
Thankfully, God has told us how to commune with him.
