Day 7
Day Seven: Being Part of a Church Family
“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 NLT
There are individuals who love God who believe they can have a meaningful relationship with Him without being part of a church family. But as you can see from the verses above, this is not what God prefers.
We were created to be interdependent. We were created for family.
And when we chose to do life the way God intended, His blessings have the proper channel through which to flow into our lives.
God chooses to work through His church making some apostles, some prophets, some pastors, some evangelists, and others teachers (Ephesians 4:11), all moving in different gifts of the Spirit.
When believers come together with the Presence of God upon their lives and allow the gifts of the Spirit to have liberty to work, the atmosphere is electrifying!
As you fast, make yourself available to join with other believers as often as possible so you can not only be encouraged by a spiritual family, but also for you to experience a greater atmosphere of God’s presence.
