Fellowship with God

God has put a desire for fellowship into every one of us, a desire He intended to be satisfied in relationships with other people, but most of all, to be satisfied by a close fellowship with Him. The word fellowship comes from the ancient Greek word koinonia, which speaks of a sharing, a communion, a common bond and common life. It speaks of a living, breathing, sharing, loving relationship with another person. It is possible to have such a relationship with God, and 1 John 1 explains this very clearly.

Memory Verse:
John 14:23

"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him"

The Motivation:

We live full time in an RV, and this was our first "home" on the road. Sometimes we have trouble with our internet connection.  We have a "Hot Spot" for the computer, and in the city our connection is perfect.  But when we’re camping deep in the woods, the connection is either weak or sporadic. 

God probably views His relationship with us in the same way.  When we’re going through a difficult time, we stay in fellowship with Him, praying about our situation day and night.  But afterwards, when life is going along smoothly again, our connection becomes sporadic. We go for hours, sometimes days, without thinking about Him or talking with Him. 

Jesus set an example by taking time to connect with His Father regularly, often early in the morning.  The night before He died, Jesus spent His last hours in fellowship with His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36). 

Keep the lines of communication open so your fellowship with the Lord won’t become “disconnected”, no matter how hard the enemy tries.

Video: Coffee With Jesus

What I wouldn't give to have a cup of coffee with Jesus! I would pound Him with questions, pay close attention to His responses, record the session on my iPhone, and take notes. How could this man waste such a precious opportunity?
