God did it...........

Two weeks ago on Friday the 13th I went to a local Hospital for a stress test. During the test, I was running on the treadmill and was tested for problems by ultrasound. The technician and Doctor noticed that my heart was enlarged on the right side and showed me the image of my heart on the screen. This was a huge concern to my Doctor and he sent me back again to the Hospital to have a 2D Electrocardiogram on my heart. Last Sunday I told the Church about my diagnosis and my church family began to pray for God to heal me.

On Monday February 20th I arrived at the Hospital and was tested. To the surprise of the tech she saw that my heart was tested as normal. She looked at me while I layed there and said "Who told you that your heart was enlarged?" I replied to her after a moment and said "you did". She was in shock and said that my heart appears to be completly normal. I left the Hospital and my wife Maria and I proclaimed that God did it and we also praise God for this miracle in my life. Yes, God did it!!!

The Joy of Fellowship

I love to fellowship with the Saints of God. It brings strength and joy when we gather together.

“When two or more are gathered in my name, I am there also.” The Lord’s gives us the word. It’s a good word, the comfort of knowing that if we seek God’s word and seek him, we will find Him . Fellowship is an important aspect of the life of a believer.

The real benefits of Fellowship are obvious. We share time together and share God’s word with fellow believers. We receive ongoing affirmation about our walk with God. We have awesome interaction with others. I enjoy Teaching Bible Studies and Preaching God's word. It enriches my life.

God is life. God is love. Those who love him must possess His quality of life. We are to have true fellowship with Him and with each other.

In the Bible we read in 1 John 1:5-7 “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have Fellowship with Him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light we have Fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.”

The power of believers gathering in prayer and thanksgiving is a powerful force that will be heard. When in fellowship, we are of one mind. When we are of one mind, we are within God’s will as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 13:11: “Farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort. Be of one mind, live in peace; and the love of God and peace will be with you.”

Fellowship s an important part of a Christians life. It provides accountability, It provides a loving ear, a shoulder to lean on. Remember that two are better than one, unless, of course, the one is Jesus !
