Fellowship is crucial in a Christian’s life as it proves that Jesus is an omnipotent spirit who can live in everyone. However, ‘fellowship’ is not necessarily good as it is essentially just ‘co operation’. The most evident manifestation of fellowship is the internet, a worldwide web of virtual connections. The web is facilitating world evangelization but it is also being used to forment all manner of perversions, alongside the worship of fellowshiping itself. If you feel good just because of hanging out with your friends, you are bowing down to the act of companionship. Such idolatry is the crucible of forming cults; infact, anti God ideologies are being concoted on the basis of their mass acceptance. For instance, the blasphemy that has become mainstream — evolutionary — science, is based on a consensus among scientists that God never created the earth.
A Christian should therefore be wary of any ideology that emphasizes church or communal connections more than the exaltation of who Jesus is. In addition to the godlessness displayed by scientists, gangsters even gang up or fellowship with each other with even more intimacy than Christians do. The Mafia and many criminal militias even exchange vows of dying for each other, yet they can rape, murder and torture anyone else who dares challenge their power. Furthermore, corrupt economists, bankers and politicians forget their ‘divisions’ when it comes to the matter of passing laws, regulations and policies that will give them undeserved fortunes.
Therefore, only the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is the epitome of humility and selflessness: no flesh can glory in the presence of Immanuel because he resists the proud whilst giving grace to the humble. Before the Spirit of the Lord in you connects you to other people, you must pass the test of only looking at him. Christ proves this. In the desert, he was alone before being joined with his disciples. On the cross, everybody abandoned him, even God, yet he never hated anyone; thit is why he now owns all power in heaven and earth.
If you pray in your closet — without minding anyone else — God will blatantly approve of your spiritual devotion. What you do in your secret place, only to please your maker, will be openly rewarded. Furthermore, nobody is ever alone. Demons which used to opress or posess a person continuosly return to the person, wanting to reclaim their home. You might surround yourself with Christian people to help you overcome addictions, but as soon as you are alone, all demonic addictions will swiftly attack you. This is why a Christian should be most sensitive to the company of Angels and the Holy Spirit who are also always around to help us ‘resist the devils so that they will flee from us’.
Therefore, the biggest mistake by Christians of this generation is their mistaking of church friendships and connections with the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. The emptiness of unholy church togetherness will in fact be revealed during the rapture of the Bride of Christ. Most churches will be left behind whilst, as Jesus points out, two very friendly Christians would be working or walking or sleeping together but only one among the two will be caught to heaven. It is therefore crucial to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling and not lie to each other about our holiness.
Even a new believer must resolve to discern the spiritual world so that he or she can freely and willingly fight the good fight of faith. Most frivolous conversions to Christ seem to enlist a sinner into a church community, whereby the salvation prayer is simply a ritual to be accepted by the Church. If a Christian does not become passionate about God on her own free will, she will eventually feel as if her freedom has been violated by religious rules. Eventually, the ‘disciple’ will search for freedom somewhere else. This is why there are very many people who have been ‘saved’ at some point in their past but — because they equated the state of being born again to feeling at home among Christians — these converts are now backsliders.
Apostates, being created by Christianity that is based on church instead of Christ, are the worst of people. These former converts merely modified their behaviour instead of rebirthing their spirits. A pig may be washed and perfumed but it will eventually go back to its muck because it is still a pig. This pig will then lie to the other pigs who are still in the muck that there is no hope of them to ever be salvaged from their state of being garbage eaters which are only fit for slaughter. Apostates, resultant from lukewarm convictions to follow Christ, convincingly mislead sinners from Christ by claiming they have tasted Jesus and have found him bitter, tasteless or poisonous.
