Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above  every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is the basis of fellowship with God. Coming into God’s presence requires our unveiling before him in total humility, laying aside any kind of pretense that we know anything, or have anything to offer, except the life he gave us. We acknowledge Jesus as Lord. We thank God that his breath is still in us, so we give him praise. We acknowledge that he is the God of all creation, that he is immortal and invisible, that he was before time began – the Ancient of Days for so he reveals himself in Daniel, chapter 7: 9-10.

We recognize him as Holy, the Lord God Almighty, whose right to rule cannot be challenged with success. Whatever he has said he is able to accomplish: “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” (Numbers 23:19) So we affirm that because Jesus has said he will come again, we say: Amen.  Come, Lord Jesus.

In the meantime, let your heart overflow with praise for your salvation, for God’s goodness, and most of all for his presence with you. His Holy Spirit in you will energize you, give clarity for what he wants to accomplish in your life – not always what you thought your next step should be. Just willingly accept his leading. This is how the weak becomes strong, and the poor become rich, in God. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” (2 Corinthians 1: 3-4). His inflow becomes your outflow. That is the result of fellowship.
