Food, Faith, Fellowship & Prayer.

Ok, so I'm sittin' here this morning, getting ready to head for bed and I get hit with this feeling on food,faith,fellowship & prayer.

 A christian comedian that I heard a long time ago once mentioned this in his act and it has stuck with me for a long time, although at times I forget it. Here's what it boils down to. You can believe in GOD and go to church or you can still believe in GOD and NOT go to church. Either way, you need F,F,F,&P in order to grow and not backslide.

 1. FOOD = The word of GOD and the bible is the word. You need to feed your spirit with the word because it is food for the brain. Without this food for your brain you can not grow in your knowledge of GOD and JESUS.

 2. Faith = Trust. Faith is believing or trusting in some thing that you can not see. When you go to work you believe that your car is in the parking lot even if you can't see it from where you are. Faith in GOD is the same, you believe he is there even if you can't see him from where you are.

 3. Fellowship = Hangin' out. When you fellowship with other believers, you help each other to stay on track with the LORD. You will be less tempted to slip back into your old ways of things and distance yourself from where GOD wants you to be.

 4. Prayer = Talking to GOD. I believe that GOD knows what you want and what you need before you even ask it but he wants you to talk to him. Some give up on prayer because they feel that GOD is not listening to them, but he is. He is our father in heaven and, just like our earthly parents, he wants you to talk to him. Our parents here on earth didn't give us every thing we wanted because they knew that some of what we wanted was not good for us and GOD is the same.

 Some times following F,F,F,&P is hard to do because of work,school,family plans or what ever. But if you can follow it and stay with it...it sure does help you to be a better follower of Christ. Or at least helps you to not backslide.

   Peace.
