BLESSED BY FELLOWSHIP

My Dear Precious Child, John, the Divine, the disciple who discerned the love of Jesus Christ to a higher degree than any of the other disciples when He walked and talked with them in a human body, John's profession was that his fellowship and the fellowship of his fellow believers was with "the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ." He wrote after the new covenant of the Holy Spirit was implemented in the earth that what he and his other ministers had declared to the churches was that their fellowship must be with Me and with Jesus Christ. (I John 1:3) His reasoning was that he and the other disciples had had the privilege of knowing Jesus face to face by being with him from the beginning of His ministry, seeing Him with their human eyes, having looked upon Him, and they had touched Him, the man who was the Word of Life. John wrote that the disciples had had My Life revealed to His disciples and that the Person who had previously existed with the Father had been revealed to His followers. He wrote that he was speaking about this Jesus Christ so that they might realize and enjoy that same fellowship and become partakers also in enjoying the fellowship that the disciples had enjoyed when Jesus was in the earth, which was to fellowship with Him and with Me. (I John 1:1-3) He wrote that he was writing about the possibility of the believers also having fellowship with Me and with the Father so that their joy would be complete. (verse 4) John went on to teach the people to whom he wrote his letter that the message that he wanted them to know was that the message and the promise that they heard from Me through Jesus when He walked and talked in human flesh with them was that I am Light and there is no darkness at all in Him. Then he reiterated that truth that there is no darkness at all in Him by writing again, "No, not any darkness at all," as if to convince them of a truth. (verse 5) He went deeper into the truth of their having fellowship with Jesus and Me when He wrote that anyone who says that they have fellowship with Me and with the Father but move around in darkness, then that person speaks falsely and does not practice the Truth of the Gospel. Then John clarified his earlier statement about fellowship by writing that if we say we are walking in the Light, as Jesus himself is in the Light, then he has fellowship one with another -- meaning fellowship with Jesus and Me and Our fellowship with them, and then the blood of Jesus Christ, My Son, cleanses you from sin in all of its forms and manifestations, all of that grace that comes from being in one on one fellowship with Me. (verses 6&7) John went further in the discussion by saying that if you say that you have not sinned, then you have deluded yourself and the Truth does not live in you. However, if you admit that you have sinned, then Jesus Christ is faithful and just to forgive you. If you say that you have never sinned, then you contradict My word which ways that all have sinned and come short of My glory, so if you say you have never sinned, then you make Jesus Christ out to be a liar and the Truth of the Gospel is not in your heart. (verses 8-10) John wrote the first part of his letter to clarify the Truth that your fellowship must be with Me and with the Risen Jesus Christ, who died for your sins. It is your fellowship with Me and Jesus Christ that is able to identify any sin that is not clearly apparent so that He can cleanse your mind and heart of any hidden sins. Many people have misunderstood the first chapter to John's letter to say that if they fellowship with humans in the church, with each other, that the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse them of sins. That would be impossible because just by fellowshiping with each other, sins of jealousy, envy, pride, or other sins will often minister to the minds of people. It is only in fellowshiping with Me and My Son that He can enlighten you to hidden sins and you can allow Him to cleanse your mind of those sins. To clarify the Truth in John's words in the first chapter of I John, you must read the entire chapter and see that the theme of the entire chapter relates to your having fellowship with Jesus Christ and with Me. His instructions in the third verse means that, just like the disciples' fellowship with Me, you must also fellowship with Me because it is only in being in unity with Me that My blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse you of all sin. Many people have been led astray by interpreting the chapter to mean that your having fellowship with each other causes the blood of Jesus to cleanse you. That would be impossible. It is only in your being in unity with Jesus Christ, Himself, that there be will be a blood transfusion and His blood will cleanse your body of evil. It is only through your having spiritual intercourse with Me that your body can be cleansed of evil, just like when a person has kidney dialysis and the dialysis takes out the impurities in his blood. Merely talking to another human being does not accomplish that feat. There has to be a spiritual exchange of blood, which can only happen in fellowship with Me and with Jesus Christ.
