DO you have at least 1 friend in Christ with whom you exchange Scripture?

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Sometimes it takes someone else in the Body to remind us, show and highlight the pure, simple truth of the Gospel of Christ–someone who will teach us how to continually compare the True Gospel with false info parading as God’s truth. This helps OPEN our eyes to see the Pure Word of God that has been REVEALED to us in Christ Jesus. The Scripture shared during fellowship teaches the hearts of God’s people (Colossians 3:16).” Debbie L.

SO you aren’t learning God’s Word (KJB) and yet you keep going to that “church”? WOW

As many of you know, there are great bless-ed benefits to having kingdom relationships. This is God’s stated will (John 13:35; Acts 2:42-47). Recently, as is our custom for many years now, brother Chris Sitter and I prayed for God to help him with a certain client he had. It was a difficult situation and Chris didn’t know how to approach it and they hadn’t spoken in a while. It wasn’t even noon yet and Chris called me with great excitement to inform me that that exact client called him just after we prayed and not only was the previous order they put in in good status, they placed a new order with him!!! God is so gracious! John 14:13-14 anyone? …. Are you developing kingdom relationships?

3 Essential Basics for Every Believer Per Holy Scripture

1. Daily Bible study (Job 23:12; Jer 15:16; 1 Pet 2:2)
2. Daily life of prayer (1 Thess 5:17)
3. Daily fellowship with other true believers (Acts 2:42-47; Heb 3:13; 10:25)

IF you are not on fire with Christ, you are lukewarm and will be spued! A major biblical component of abiding in Christ is fellowship with His people.

Friend, if you are not building kingdom relationships, it seems apparent that you are not in His kingdom (John 13:35; Acts 2:42-47; Heb 3:13; 10:24-25; 1 John 3:14-15; 5:1, etc.).

Fellowship: Simply read Scripture together, taking turns reading out loud. Acts 2:42

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16

What happens when a bunch of coals are burning white hot and one of those coals is then separated from the other, burning, on-fire coals?

Exhibit 1 – Notice how all the coals are burning, white hot: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25

Exhibit 2 (below) – Notice what happens when 1 of those flourishing coals is then removed from the others. This is what happens to the person who gets saved and then neglects fellowship with God’s people to nourish his relationship with Christ. “They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.” (Luke 8:13)

Exhibit 3 (below) Note how this now separated coal is growing cold and has no hope of because on fire, white hot but rather fizzles out.

True New Testament Fellowship

3 Essential Basics for Every Believer
1. Daily Bible study
2. Daily life of prayer
3. Daily fellowship with other true believers

Saints, it’s the hour to return to BEING Christ’s church, His holy (set apart) PEOPLE and to cease patronizing the wolves who are our LORD’s enemies!

Concerning true New Testament fellowship, as God has ordained, one sister writes:

“The “assembling of yourselves together” is true believers who love the Lord fervently and who come together to each break off a little piece of THE bread of heaven. They look forward for these times together, because they know they are meeting with the love of their lives, the God of their salvation. They love one another fervently. Their place of gathering is a haven from the wicked world. Its a place to share encouragement, admonishment and burdens. Its a place of equipping for the next steps of their journey. It is a place where sincere love and truth fills the atmosphere, because it is a place filled with the sweet HOLY Spirit. Hearts are convicted and lives are changed and brought closer to the Father. For THAT is the work of the Holy Ghost. ?

When the unbelieving enter, they are overwhelmed by the sweet, yet deeply convicting presence of the Holy Ghost, for the disciples are filled with Him. Therefore, the results should be repentance. Sadly, this setting is not found in very many places today, due to a lack of commitment and devotion in the lives of professing Christians. Its time to enter again into the closets and plead for God to restore His church before the period of Grace comes to an end.”

The fellowship of His true remnant saints is of the utmost importance to the LORD (John 13:35; 17:1-26; Psalms 133; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4).

It seems apparent that the greatest potential of truly experiencing Testament Fellowship as far as a gathering of saints is in a home meeting – such as the earliest disciples of Jesus did (Acts 2:42-47). Yet, that’s not always the case. There are very special things God wants to do when His people assemble (Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 14,etc.). Physical buildings are not evil. They can involve much waste and yet, are made of inanimate objects. Yet we must discern according to the Word because as we’ve been warned, “MANY false prophets” have arisen and infiltrated (Matthew 7:15; 24:11, etc.).

The Killing Power of the Holy Ghost with Judge Travis Bryan III [podcast]

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” Romans 8:13

“The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.” Samuel Rutherford

Momentum in the power of the Holy Spirit comes from a continual perpetual downward dying motion, being then raised up reciprocally in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ.

“The flesh loses its power over you when it is crucified. Christ’s power begins to reign. The worries and stress of this life leave. And you begin to have the peace that passes all understanding. Philippines 4:7 Amen! A crucified life! Hallelujah all praise to Jesus.” Karen Cochran

God’s plan for your life….here it is:

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

The ministry has put together 3 volumes sure to deepen your life in Christ, in the crucified life. 3 volumes to boost your life in Christ, in the cross He commanded us to take up – and by which He raises us upward in His glorious power and grace (Luke 9:23-24).

The Cross is a Surrender Not a Struggle [podcast]

The Cross is a Surrender not a Struggle Seems apparent that the struggle comes with living in the flesh, from resisting the surrender. In contrast, “the peace of God which passeth all understanding” comes from walking in the Spirit with Christ (Psalms 119:165; Galatians 5:22-23; Philippians 4:7). On the cross…. “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” Luke 27:46 Then what happened? “He is not here: for HE IS RISEN, as he said. Come, see the place where the […]

The Life of Jesus Manifested in Our Lives [podcast]

The posture of the true disciple is never to hide behind the […]

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have […]

The Divine Hope and Prescription for Holiness “And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:” Romans 1:4 HAVE YOU ever struggled with sin? If so, you are not alone. It is through the “communion of the Holy Ghost” in relationship with our LORD, that the sinful nature is put under so that the life of Jesus is manifested in our lives (2 Cor. 4:10-11; 13:14, etc.). Please beware of the diabolical, cheap substitutes such as various forms of perfection by way of self – the flesh. These are deadly […]

The LORD Lift Up His Countenance Upon Thee, and Give Thee Peace [podcast]

“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:3-7

“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. ” Numbers 6:24-26

The Riches of His Grace

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:7 It’s been said that “God bankrupted Heaven to buy us back to Himself!” “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” 2 Corinthians 9:15 Jesus judged sin on the cross so we don’t have to be judged for our sin and so we can experience “the exceeding riches of his gracE” both now and forever (John 12:31-32; Ephesians 1:7; 2:7). The claims of the Father’s justification to redeem mankind could only and exclusively have been satisfied in the perfect […]

The cross reveals your sin, and God’s love, not how wonderful you are! Repent! FACT: NO ONE, not one person on this earth needs Jesus more than this fool, this pauper who is nothing without Christ! (Romans 7:18; Ephesians 3:8; 1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus died, was buried, and raised again from the dead to forgive, regenerate, redeem, and grant complete victory in this life to every one of His people. Yet, we must do things God’s way and no other way. JESUS JUDGED SIN ON THE CROSS SO WE DON’T HAVE TO BE JUDGED FOR OUR SIN AND SO WE […]

GOD ISN'T ANSWERING EVERYONE'S PRAYERS-GET OVER IT! [podcast]

In its most basic definition, prayer is communion with the LORD and not just a place for us to selfishly ask Him, out of our uncircumcised heart to do things for us or to give us more stuff. Does God answer all prayer? While His people were in rebellion, the LORD made promises to bless them but only if they complied with His just requirements. We see this throughout Holy Writ. Here’s but one of a myriad of examples. “Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; […]
