The way of life that Jesus calls us to as disciples simply cannot be lived alone. Today, we call them friends or “someone we go to church with,” but Jesus literally described fellow believers as family and He meant it that way. God Himself is in community called the Trinity, and as people made in His image, we are hardwired for relationships.

In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others. God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts and ministries that are uniquely ours. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, you must activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy. – Romans 12:4-5 TPT
