The question is, do people really know what fellowship is all about?
Let's look at some verses about fellowship. But Discipleship and fellowship are spiritual twins, different but yet alike.
Fellowship is bringing together the assembly of believers in Yahusha Hamashia who are born again that wish to worship, live, work, practice and study together. Discipleship is the next step but, having been baptized in Spirit and in Spiritual Fire, who are willing to take upon him or her the name of Yahusha Hamashia and follow Him Put simply, coming together in Yahusha Hamashia, in Truth and Light, and following Him together in fellowship. Here is John 17.
13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
When is the last time somebody from the church go to you to help you understand the happiness in Yahusha Hamashia? They would probably call Him Jesus Christ.
14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
This verse is more interesting than it appears. It's Yahuah Elohiym's Word that gives the believers a spiritual quantum entanglement. We are in the world but not of it's darkness. Yahusha Hamashia was born into flesh but never was apart of the world. He preceded His birth by being part of the Multidimensional Elohiym. The Word was made flesh about September 11, 0003 BCE. Yahusha Hamashia is Yahuah of Hosts. How is it that some religions are loved by the world? The world only loves their own.
One interesting thought is that there was the Ark of the Covenant in Jerusalem and there is an Ark in Heaven. Quantum entanglement is the Covenant between the two Arks.
"And the Temple of Elohiym was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in His Temple the Ark of His Testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." Revelation 11:19
15-16 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Here Yahusha Hamashia explained it once more. We are not called to segregate ourselves from the world. We are called to stay away from the world's evil. Part of the reason why the world killed Yahusha Hamashia is because He was not corrupted or could be corrupted like the world is. So it goes without saying that we need to know about Spiritual Armor. When was the last time the church told you how to defend yourself from demonic people? They are flesh that spiritually mixed themselves with Demons. When was the last time you were told on how to hold a spiritual sword and when and where to use it? It's like the church has a sign on the door, spiritual swords not allowed. The assembly is not allowed to speak the Word of Elohiym, only the hiring committee and their appointed people.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
We are to be made pure in Truth. Our words should also be truthful. When was the last time the church explained tithing? How is it that the Old Testament Law is seen as outdated except for 10% to the Priests? How is it an Edomite King of Judah rebuilt the Temple when the old one was just fine? We cannot enter Heaven adorned with Pride. We must humble ourselves at the salvation point.
18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Yahuah Elohiym sent Yahusha Hamashia into the world. Yahusha Hamashia sent disciples into the world. How is it that the church has not prepared everyone in the church to go out into the world taking the Gospel with them? Perhaps the church doesn't have a clue about discipleship and fellowship. The assembly sets and listens to shallow words watered down from an unclean well. Unholy music is heard. Not the great hymns that overflow with Yahuah's Word.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
We are to follow the ways of Yahusha Hamashia. It's not us that can sanctify people, it's the Truth that does. So why is it that the church hasn't been totally truthful about things like deleting books and chapters of the Bible like Acts chapter 29? Is it because the Apostle Paul took the Gospel to London England? Or is it because it identified Druids as Levites? Or is it because of Pontius Pilate's death in France? Why is the New Testament limited to Turkey and Rome, the two legs of the Roman Empire. The British influence is never mentioned on the Roman Empire.
One other thing that is not truthful. It is the genealogy of the Bible. It was the Jews that erased 650 years off the old testament timeline for the purpose of the deception that Yahusha Hamashia cannot be High Priest. The Egyptian timeline is also false for the purpose of casting the Bible in a false light. Shem is not Melchizedek. Shem died hundreds of years before Abraham was born. Seeing videos of the walls of the Temple Mount, I believe the lowest part of the wall with the large stone blocks are much older than Abraham. Perhaps they are older than the Pyramids. Why say all this? It's because people will not fellowship with false information. But they will fellowship with believable deception.
20-21 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Did you catch the Multidimensional in this verse. A Tesseract is a cube within a cube. It's the shadow of the fourth dimension. Yahusha is within Yahuah and Yahuah is within Yahusha. He is a multidimensional Deity. We have the promise of being in Yahusha Hamashia and Yahusha Hamashia being within us. So why does the church elders want us to be in church and the church not willing to be within us? Why is it that a man called father by the church is allowed to speak for everyone and everyone cannot speak for themselves spiritually or for the church? If I speak to a stranger about Yahusha Hamashia, I speak to him or her as truthfully as I can. If a woman speaks truth, we should listen to her. If she speaks like a priest, we should only see her as a spiritual sister or a spiritual prostitute.
And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called 'masters,' for you have one master, the Hamashia” (Matt. 23:8–10).
This verse is not my word but it backs up what I just said. We are not to call no man father or Master. Not a man or a woman. What is interesting is that in the Greek the name man is not written. It's more like, do not call your father on earth, for your father is in heaven.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yahusha Hamashia His Son cleansed us from all sin. 1John 1:7
By Yahuah of Hosts becoming flesh, the Holy Spirit must be upon Him and stay in the Light. Satan would not have tempted Him if it wasn't possible for Yahusha Hamashia to become wicked. Satan thought he had a win win situation. Yahusha becomes sinful or He is dead. But Yahusha Hamashia defeated Death not just in the flesh, but defeated Death in dimensions we cannot see. By being in Yahuah Elohiym's Light and cleansed from sin, fellowship is possible. With fellowship, discipleship is possible.
Some may say that they can have the same thing at a Bar. First of all fellowship is an outdated word in this world. There is no word to replace it. Religion has replaced the word fellowship with a counterfeit word like church.
Quote; "Church is derived from Old English “cirice,” which in turn came from the German “kirika,” which likely came from the Greek “kuriake,” which means “of the Lord.” KIRKE an Anglo-Saxon name (Circe) was a goddess of sorcery (pharmakeia) who was skilled in the magic of transmutation, illusion, and necromancy. A goddess can be seen as a Lord. Church could have the same root word as Circus. Both having a circle during their assemblies.
Fellowship in the Hebrew is Habar. It has three letters. Each letter has a meaning. Heth Bet Resh is to say separation house of the chief. This is a picture of Yahusha Hamashia our High Priest with us in His Father's house. It really comes down to this. You fellowship with those in the house of Satan or in the House of Yahuah Elohiym.
Melchizedek is to say King of righteousness. He gave bread and wine to Abraham. It was Yahusha Hamashia that gave bread and wine to the disciples. Pontius Pilate saw Yahusha as King of righteousness.
