Wow! Wow! Wow!
This even ministered to me Jillian and I'm not in that type of situation. Thank you for taking the time to share your testimony and being a vocal of the Lord to bring encouragement and exhortation.
I belong to a church of 3500 members but there is something about your own fellowship with Christ in reading of His Word, in prayer, in fasting that is more powerful and sustaining then an actual church building or program and if He blesses you with spirit-filled friends/mentors than even better. I've been going through a whole montage of things just being a part of a church and I've learned some tough lessons- only God is to be worshipped not man; only God is to be exalted not a church; if your too busy doing works then you're doing it without Him; I am the church; I'm accountable for what I do with what He teaches me; we stand in judgement alone; so whether I'm part of a church or not; it's what I do with the revelations He gives me and how I serve Him alone and do His will that truly matters....when our eyes are on Him, our hearts devoted to Him, our lives surrendered to Him then He can use us for His glory...it's all about being fishers of men...and you can do that right in your backyard, at work, etc.....when you live what you believe it has the greatest of impact on peoples lives (plus it honors and glorifies Him)...only Christ can save us...not a church building or pastor...they are just tools..but if those tools are not available then you have the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Linfayr- I pray the Lord will continue to build you up and if you desire fellowship with other true believers, then may He show them to you just so you can have that accountability. Thanks for posting your query...it blessed me.
