(1 John 1:3)
One of the greatest privileges of being saved is fellowship with the Creator of the universe and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no greater joy than being in the presence of the Father and Son.
You are only able to fellowship with the Father because of Jesus’ suffering for your sins. He was the sacrifice for the sins of mankind. (1 John. 2:2.) There is no sin that the blood of Jesus does not cover.
Strong faith is a product of close fellowship with the Father. Revelation knowledge flows out of intimate communion. As you come to know Him more personally, you will come to better know your victory in Him.
Walking in victory is not achieved simply by following a formula. It is a result of walking in fellowship with your Father and Jesus.
I encourage you to seek after Him. Many people miss it by seeking after success. They don’t realize that if you seek after the things of God, you will experience blessings and prosperity. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:33).
The Father desires that we fellowship with Him. You do this by reading and meditating on the Word of God and through prayer, which is simply talking to God and listening to what He says back to you. Because of Jesus, we boldly go before the throne of God to fellowship with our Father. (Heb. 4:16.)
