"Awakened To Gather"

Have you ever heard the saying, “There is safety in numbers”? There are many elements of truth to this saying. Many women in the body of Christ are going through some difficult times. They have been hurt, betrayed, feel lonely, fearful, depressed, and some may even have suicidal thoughts. The last thing on earth they want to do is be with people. They avoid social functions, church attendance drops, and they make excuses when friends call extending invitations.

The Bible warns of how unwise and dangerous it is to isolate ourselves. Isolation will cut us off from those who will encourage, support, pray for, help, and love you. Isolation will also stop you from being who God called you to be in the body. God needs every finger, toe, heart, mouth, and knee to function together. One is not more important than the other!

Proverbs 18:1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.

God does not want us to stay in an isolated state. His intent and desire is to free us of hurts, fears, and everything else that hinders us so we can take our place in the body of Christ and become the women God created us to be!

Dear Sister, I encourage you to gather with those who have found freedom in Jesus Christ! Seek out God honoring churches, prayer meetings, Bible studies, and fellowships. As you gather with others and take your place in the body, you will be well on your way to your destiny in Him!

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
