IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Elijah #8

Daniel had a faithful, devoted and disciplined life (Dan 9:1-19); his prayers were based on the word of God. Daniel confessed the sins of Israel as if he was complicit. Prayer demands separation and isolation (1Ki 18:41-46, Mat 6:6). Prayer in faith expects answers. Prayer in power perseveres; Elijah prayed 7 times (1Th 5:17, Luk 18:1). Prayer is the exercise that develops spiritual muscle in the Christian life (Mat 26:41, Isa 40:31). Prevailing prayer includes suitable action; Elijah "girds up" and we need to as well (1Pe 1:13, Eph 6:14, Heb 12:1). Prevailing prayer empowers one spiritually (1Ki 18:46). Prayer appropriates Gods power for whatever is required (Act 4:29-31). Prayer is a Grace provision and gift. Through prayer we have access to the throne room of the Omnipotence of God (Rom 5:1-2).

Elijah's life shows us the keys to spiritual power: the power of God's Word faith prayer revival and failure.
