Prayer Tool of Fellowship with the Saints 

and Positive People - Ratchet

Saints are not just the prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New Testament. Anyone who is a disciplined follower of Jesus

Christ and makes a conscious choice to develop in Christ consciousness is a saint. The time that saints spend together is called fellowship. Formal fellowship takes place when you regularly gather with others weekly for services and studies. Informal fellowship provides an opportunity for saints to do fun things together, such as going to the movies, sporting events, or playing games. Both formal and informal fellowships strengthen and encourage you to continue in your love journey and path towards wholeness. The original disciples were so effective in their kingdom work because “they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers (Acts 2:42).” For your holistic growth and development, you must do the same.

The idea of fellowship is not limited to saints but is inclusive of positive people. Spend time with like-minded people who are doing things you desire to try or that you enjoy. Fellowshipping, in this way, leads to connections that can enhance your health, harmonious relationships, and your wealth. You can also mentor people who have a hunger for success in an area that you may specialize in that is not directly related to spirituality. Building genuine rapport and establishing authentic relationships with other positive people who may not be aware of their spiritual identity leads them to a deeper connection with the Divine.

A ratchet is a mechanical device with a toothed wheel and pawl that permits it to move together in one direction to tighten a bolt or screw. When you Fellowship with the Saints and Positive People, you move in one direction together to strengthen and manifest mutual good in your lives. Although you may experience challenges in fellowship, rest assured that it is working together for your good. “All things work together for the good to them that love God to them who are the called according to God’s purpose (Romans 8:28).

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
