Fellowship : Prayer and Pray-Reading

The joy of fellowship in not in the act of fellowshipping in an outward way, but the flow of the divine life from the throne and out of the Lamb into us and among us and through us. I have, perhaps, been in many fellowships. But the recent experiences the Lord graced me with the brothers I am coordinating with in the church's service and also in the service arrangement were very refreshing.

As we came together, we prayed and prayed and released our burdens through the release of the spirit. The Spirit's flow was so sweet and strong, and we enjoyed praying together in one accord. Every item we had the burden to fellowshipped about were all prayed for and the burdens were already released. By the time we finished prayer, we all knew, the Lord had answered our prayers and that all the burdens have been released. It was a spiritual and practical fellowship. Mingled with this was a pray-reading of the word of God that added oil to the burning flame. The word of God solidified all the uttered prayers. Besides, it was so soothing and supplementing.

Similar case happened today again in my literature fellowship. Prayer and pray-reading, I found, was the best way to fellowship. In prayer, we released the burden for fellowship, and in pray-reading we documented the released burdens. O what a blessing to recover this way of prayer and pray-reading fellowship. By the time we finished our prayer and pray-reading all we were all very clear what the we should do related to what we we intended to fellowship upon. Prayer and the word made it all crystal clear.

I have just cited the above two incidents, but there were many such cases in the past too. This is one of the precious items the Lord has recovered for His children. Prayer in one accord, the Spirit mingled with our spirits and the rhema word of the Lord as spirit and life are the inevitable ingredients for sweet fellowship. Apart from these, fellowship is just mere discussion of a secular-official board meeting with resolutions democratically or diplomatically passed for many dead agendas. Fellowship is the flow of life from the Head to the members through all the members of the Body. The most effective and enjoyable way is by prayer and pray-reading the word.

Lord, fill all my fellowship with prayer and pray-reading.
