The strength of fellowship

Hi,

I recently read this article – the author, John Piper, states so succinctly a very powerful truth – the strength of fellowship.

John

Something stronger than Fate has chosen you. Evil will hunt you. And so a Fellowship must protect you.

Honestly, though he is a very brave and true Hobbit, Frodo hasn’t a chance without Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. He will need his friends. And you will need yours. You must cling to those you have, you must search wide and far for those you do not yet have. You must not go aloneFrom the beginning, right there in Eden, the Enemy’s strategy has relied upon a simple aim: Divide and conquer. Get them isolated and take them out.

You see this sort of thing at the center of every great story. Dorothy takes her journey with the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Lion, and of course, Toto. Maximus rallies his little band and triumphs over the greatest empire on earth. When Captain John Miller is sent deep behind enemy lines to save Private Ryan, he goes in with a squad of men. And, of course, Jesus had the Twelve. This is written so deeply on our hearts: You must not go alone. The Scriptures are full of such warnings, but until we see our desperate situation, we hear it as an optional religious assembly for an hour on Sunday mornings.

Imagine you are surrounded by a small company of friends who know you well (characters, to be sure, but they love you, and you have come to love them). They understand that we are all at war, know that the purposes of God are to bring a man or woman fully alive, and are living by sheer necessity and joy in the Four Streams. They fight for you, and you for them. Imagine you could have a little fellowship of the heart.

Don’t forget that the majority is not always right.   And, if God is with a person and so the will of God is being done, then there is nothing to fear or worry about.  A believer should not have to worry.  And, remember not to fear the person who can destroy the body, but do fear or respect the God who can destroy the soul and human spirit.   This is why we gain the Holy Spirit at justification by God, so we have eternal life.

For additional details, questions or to schedule a complimentary discussion on how you can leverage the power of Fellowship to maximize potential and transform for a balanced, happier and impactful life, please email me at coach@maximizeu.life. Live, work and lead with greater freedom, power and peace of mind. Thank you.
