The Revival Fellowship

Part 2. The concept of fellowship relates to coming together for Godly service... we cannot have one without the other. Gathering together is a strong bible principle... and had its beginning in the Old Testament as the peace offering. This offering was not only the most common offering, but included a feast, also symbolising fellowship and oneness with God as well as each other.

The kingdom of God doesn't have a flashing neon sign over the entrance gate, nor does it have clearly lit street signs leading to it. The way of God is hidden from all men, because it is not discerned through the natural senses. The natural senses of sight, hearing, touch, etc, reveal nothing. The way of God is a spiritually discerned path and can only be found through the instructions given by God's people. The right instructions bring the right results.

Jesus told Pilate that his servants would not fight because his Kingdom is not of this world. Christians are engaged in a spiritual warfare, a spiritual military campaign to hold fast to the teachings of the Word of God. Christians have access to "mighty" power from God to assist them in their battle.

We live in a world where opinion continually outweighs provable facts and reality like no other time in history. Not surprisingly there are numerous times in history where the facts and realities have not suited the rulers of the day and have been denied. It was quite common to jail or murder those who dared reveal unpleasant realities. That is why God offers signs and wonders... it gives the honest heart something to build confidence upon, without having to rely on the opinion of others.

There would be few people in the world who have never heard of the concept of Armageddon or the return of Jesus Christ. These stories have one thing in common. Jesus Christ is returning to save the world from a fiery, self-destructing end. At which time he will rule for a thousand years and judge all peoples both past and present. Many of the Bible prophecies relating to this time are clear, and currently unfolding. Despite this, the vast majority of people are totally unprepared for what is ahead of them; nor do they care... at the moment.

It should not be surprising that the creator of the universe wants to reveal himself to his creation. If we pray for God to open people's eyes, we have a further tool for self development; to build up people in the church and to open the hearts of the unbelievers. However, we need to make sure our eyes are open before we can open the eyes of others.

The apostle Paul was raised in a strict Jewish sect, however he understood that, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, salvation was open to all men, jew and gentile alike. Paul explains that he seeks to be "all things to all men, that he might save some".

In our modern world, there is a destructive trend called 'identity politics': where people are encouraged to bypass rational thought, make unscientific choices about who or what they think they are. This is foolish and has extended into gender, sport, business, law and order, etc. Much of our social order is breaking down, allowing confusion and crime to escalate rapidly. People may feel free to make their choices on the earth... but there are spiritual consequences. Lets have a look at God's view on all these modern points of debate.
