We have fellowship with the Father. We have fellowship with the Son. We have<br />

fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We have fellowship with the Word. And we also have<br />

fellowship with each other.<br />

The most vital, and the one that means the most <strong>to</strong> us, is our fellowship with the Word.<br />

We have this Revelation from the heart of the Father <strong>to</strong> feed upon.<br />

Matt. 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of<br />

the mouth of God." Daily, we feed and meditate upon the Word until men and<br />

women feel the presence and power of the Unseen One in our lives. We face life's<br />

problems fearlessly. Rev. 12:11, "And they overcame him because of the blood of<br />

the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony." The Word here is "Logos". It is<br />

Jesus. They overcame him by the Word that was in their lips.<br />

Broken Fellowship<br />

He tells us in 1 John 1:6, "If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the<br />

darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we<br />

have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all<br />

sin." The thing that makes the church the most beautiful place in the world is not the<br />

building. It is the people who are in fellowship with one another and with the Lord Jesus.<br />

The moment we sin against our brother, we break fellowship with Him. When we break<br />

fellowship with Him we go in<strong>to</strong> darkness and there is no getting out of that darkness<br />

until we confess our sins. I John 1 :9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous<br />

<strong>to</strong> forgive us our sins, and <strong>to</strong> cleanse us from all unrighteousness."<br />

When we confess our sin <strong>to</strong> the Father, He is faithful and righteous <strong>to</strong> forgive us. If a<br />

man should say, "I have no fellowship with the Father -somehow or other I have lost it<br />

and yet I have not committed sin", the man is ignorant or else he is lying because the<br />

Father does not withdraw His fellowship unless we have sinned. "If we say we have not<br />

sinned, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." This has reference <strong>to</strong> broken<br />

fellowship. No man needs <strong>to</strong> stay in broken fellowship. Acting on 1 John 1:9 res<strong>to</strong>res<br />

righteousness <strong>to</strong> him.<br />

No human religion, no philosophy, no works that natural man can do will ever give him<br />

fellowship with the Father or <strong>Righteousness</strong> which makes it possible for him <strong>to</strong> stand in<br />

the Father's presence without Sin Consciousness. In other words, no man can have<br />

fellowship with the Father and be free from Sin Consciousness until he is a New<br />

Creation, until he becomes the <strong>Righteousness</strong> of God in Christ. But the instant a man is<br />

Born Again, he becomes the <strong>Righteousness</strong> of God in Christ. Then he has fellowship<br />

with the Father. He can stand in the Father's presence as though he had never sinned.<br />

The Church His Body Possessing <strong>Righteousness</strong><br />

Eph. 1:4, "Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we<br />

should be holy and without blemish before him: in love having marked us out for the<br />

position of sons." (Literal Translation). This is God's declaration that, in this present life,<br />

He planned we should be holy and without blemish before Him. This is not after we die,
