The memories we form with those who are fellow warriors in the faith are often the most memorable ones.
The associations, friendships and partnerships formed in the heat of battle while facing spiritual warfare, bonds of trust made in the deep trenches of intercession amidst constant onslaughts and attacks from the enemy, are powerful and precious.
When such bonds of spiritual friendship and reliable fellowship are cultivated and honored, then prayers for each other do not have to be forced, patronizing or the result of compulsion, pressure, routine, or obligation. Like everything else in a healthy Kingdom relationship, they flow naturally from a place of genuine concern, love, well meaning affection, empathy, kindness, trust and compassion.
Faith filled friendships, Holy Spirit led fellowships and Kingdom partnerships empower believers to grow, thrive and spiritually mature — while flowing in unity, joy, victory and harmony.
May we be those who learn to demonstrate Kingdom culture and walk in the love of Jesus Christ in our associations, partnerships, friendship and covenant relationships.
Never forget the ones who prayed for you, who fasted for you, who stood with you in the bad times, who counseled and encouraged you through your hard times. Be there for them when they need you: through prayer and in fasting, offering encouragement and support in their tough times. This is pleasing and honorable in GOD's eyes and a sign of spiritual maturity.
GOD is faithful to finish what He started in us—through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. When He returns, it will all be worth it.
Hold the line. Trust GOD. Keep advancing. With GOD, you can and you will make it in Jesus Name.
“Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to GOD. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming GOD’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the GOD who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.”
—Philippians 1
