"I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ."
~Philemon 1:6
A couple days ago I was praying in the spirit and kept hearing a distinct word: koinonia. I thought it sounded familiar, and soon enough, the Holy Spirit began bringing me teachings and explanations of the term. That was enough to make me realize that I'd already been living out the concept of koinonia recently in my own life. Cool!
God wants us to live by this faith and with this word written on our hearts:
"On earth as it is in Heaven".
He wants us to experience Him and talk to Him, and then attract others into this blissful realm. When Yahshua was transfigured on the Mount and talked with Moses and Elijah, He pulled others right into the Heavenly realms with Him. Peter and John and James were included in this glory, even though it was almost too much for them.
Heaven has to get out somehow - why not through you? Once you're there, and only once you're there, can you freely give. Only then can we talk to others within the confines of Yah's Heavenly Kingdom. Others can learn from us, and we can learn from others! Contentment is key to pure communication. If we rely on the contentment of God, than we can be content to flow out to others. There's an attraction to God within somebody. This is a fruit that can't help but be fruitful: the fruit of love. Here's what Francois du Toit has to say about it:
"The Koinonia (communication) of our faith is ignited by the acknowledging of every good thing that is in us in Christ!"
Heavenly Father, let the cry of our hearts be for us to experience more of Your Love, and for us to love You back in turn. Increase the hunger of our spirits within us and the calling out of our souls. Let Your presence in us draw us to the right people in the right places at just the right time. Let us always be a magnification of Your Love, and stretch us and mold us to conform to Your glory. Draw us to friends who can stretch us and teach us new things, and let us live and talk and think in the light of Your Presence. Make us like you, Lord, and teach us something new today.
