+It is a deep and intense fellowship, which Christians are offered. The fellowship of the spirit.

+The power of the spirit of God is first the power of peace and love and reconciliation of the
+relationship with him. It is about you and God. Nothing more, nothing less. It is about you and
+the king.
+We can explain this in many images and stories. You are given the opportunity to get into a
+cleared relationship with the king. You trust the king, and he trusts you. You discover his
+fantastic way, and he takes you into his plans. He tells you about his plans. He even gives
+you part in his agenda, an agenda of a new creation.
+The fellowship of the spirit is quite fascinating. The bible characterizes it by many keywords.
+It is about truth. It is about freedom. It is about love. It is about grace. It is about
+justice. It is about companionship and friendship.
+We are moving towards pentacost, the celebration of the coming of the holy spirit. It came to the
+young church in a special way. But we need to remember that the spirit has always come to people,
+who believed in the eternal Lord. Also the Old Testament is full of stories about the spirit of the
+Lord. But now, with the justice which Jesus created at the cross, there is no limit any more for
+this special fellowship, for the spirit to be with you, for his grace and love and truth to give a peace
+and hope of unbelievable beauty and intensity.
