Series: …but by My Spirit Pt. 9
Message – Fellowship with God II
Fellowship with God…by My Spirit says the Lord
1Cor. 2:12, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit Who is from God, THAT WE MIGHT KNOW the things that have been freely given to us by God.”
Communion or Fellowship with God is one of the things that has been freely given to us by God.
Last week we examined the terms associated with “communion” with the Holy Spirit. This week we took these definitions into groups of two or three and discussed them. Everyone was asked to make notes about how they described their relationship and interactions with the Holy Spirit or those they wished they had with Him.
Upon returning we discussed our conclusions as a group.
Defining Fellowship
I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING WORDS AND APPLY THEM TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT…
-
Partnership (co-participation with). Acts 15:28
-
Fellowship (Companionship or company) – Acts 10:19-20
-
Communion (Close mutual association – the sharing of something held in common) – Acts 8:26-35/1 Jn. 5:8 (Also Luke 24:46-49/Acts 1:4)
-
Sharing together (social intercourse) – Rom. 9:1; Job 11:7/1Cor. 2:10
-
Intimacy – Jn. 14:15-20 The word “know” in all these verses means to have personal or intimate fellowship with.
Next week, we will begin to look at our Oneness or Union with the Father through the Spirit….Blessings!
