Act With Urgency – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional June 12th

(Communion With the Holy Spirit)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 John 1:3
“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”

LET’S TALK
‘’Josh, do you ever feel like God is far away?” David asked as they walked home from school.
Josh shook his head. “Not really. When I pray and read my Bible, it feels like I’m talking to my closest friend.”
David smiled. “So… it’s more than church on Sundays. It’s real connection.”
“Exactly,” Josh replied. “That’s what fellowship is about.”

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).

We’ve been brought into a oneness of spirit – an inseparable union with divinity. This means we’re spiritually connected to God, not as strangers, but as His own children. We’ve been called into fellowship – partnership and togetherness with Deity; it’s the fellowship of the God-kind.

To have real fellowship with God, you’ve got to be in His class of being. In simple terms, this means living with the awareness that you carry God’s life inside you.

This is the reason the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul, prayed that the believer might be filled with all the fullness of God; it’s because of the need for the fellowship of the God kind. He brought us into fellowship with Himself and with His Son Jesus.

As you grow in your walk with God through prayer, the Word, and obedience, this fellowship becomes stronger.

It’s not enough to be born of God; you can have a child, a son or a daughter, who is two years old. You can play with that child, but you can’t have real fellowship with the child.

Real fellowship entails the rubbing of minds – sharing, talking at higher levels – where you can understand each other and exchange thoughts.

It’s like having deep conversations with a close friend who truly understands you. This is the kind of fellowship God has called us into; it’s beyond making requests of Him in prayer.

This kind of fellowship is not a one-way communication. Rather, it’s when God opens your mind to the realms of the spirit for you to understand things at His level.

He gives you ideas, direction, and peace in your heart. It’s when you see from the mountain top and communicate from the glory-realm.

Pray:
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your grace, your love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit! Thank you that I can talk to you, hear from you, and grow closer to you every day. I’m exuberant today with praise and thanksgiving, knowing that I’ve been brought into an inseparable union and oneness of spirit with you! Thank you for making me a partaker of your divine nature.
