This Page is all about Fellowship with The Lord in Prayer AND Fellowship with Each-Other
(Real Fellowship, not facing each-other’s backs like strangers) and it’s ALL Scriptures!
How Nice is that?
“Jesus Ever Listens To Your Prayers!”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-19

Philippians 4:8
New Living Translation
Dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure,
and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Christian Standard Bible
Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable
— if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy —
dwell on these things.
Amplified Bible
Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word,
whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute;
if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things
[center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].
Weymouth New Testament
Finally, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute
— if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise — cherish the thought of these things.
Hebrews 10:24,25
New Living Translation
Let us hold tightly Without Wavering to the Hope we affirm, for God can be Trusted to Keep His Promise. Let us think of Ways to Motivate One Another to Acts of Love and Good Works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but Encourage One Another, especially now that the Day of His Return is Drawing Near.
As you can See, Paul is referring to Fellowship more Personal than Local Church Services here!
Philippians 2:1-4
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore if you have any Encouragement in Christ, if any Comfort from His Love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any Affection and Compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the Same Love, being United in Spirit and Purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in Humility Consider Others more important than yourselves. Each of you should Look Not Only
to your Own Interests, but Also to the Interests of Others.
Again, here is Interaction you don’t find in Local Church Services
1 Thessalonians 5:11 says to Encourage one another and Help One Another, just as you are now doing.
Do you See the Signature Purpose of Fellowship here? All three Verses speak about Encouraging Each-Other.
A totally different Type of Fellowship. Acts 3 and Romans 16 are speaking about House Churches
(Home Fellowship in Each-Other’s Homes) Definitely More Personal and Interactive.
Philippians 4:4-7
Berean Standard Bible
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
New Living Translation
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
