Meeting together with fellow believers is vital to your spiritual health. Even Adam – a man who was exactly who God intended him to be – needed companionship. It was not good for him to be alone. As Pastor Danny warns in today’s message, once you give up meeting with fellow believers, you make yourself more vulnerable to attacks of the enemy. As much as it is possible, spend time in fellowship and actively seeking God with other believers – it’s critical to your growth as a follower.

Prayer can feel intimidating at times. You may feel like you have to put together your words just right in order to get the response you want from God - as if there’s something supernatural to the words themselves. As Pastor Danny will explain in today’s message, the words you use don’t matter nearly as much as the posture of your heart. There will be times you have no idea what to say, but God knows your heart better than even you do, and He will respond according to His perfect love and wisdom.

Staying physically fit requires a disciplined routine of exercise. As Pastor Danny will point out in today’s message, your spiritual health requires discipline just the same. It’s not just going to happen naturally. Sure, when you first get saved, it may be hard to get your nose out of the Bible and your prayers are fervent and constant, but, that generally wanes over time. If you want to remain in an intimate relationship with God, you’re going to have to be purposeful about spending time seeking Him.

Everyone you know is a sinner in need of a Savior. Even a devout follower of Satan – someone you would never imagine coming to faith in Christ – is loved by God and He desires to transform them and bring them into His fold. That’s an extreme example, but as Pastor Danny leads us through today’s passage, you’ll be reminded that your mission as a Jesus follower is to bring others to Him. You have to be careful not to fall into a trap of the enemy, but you’ll have to take some risks to reach the lost.
