Fellowship, Confession, Consecration, and Prayer

 

During one of the meetings at the conference, Brother Ricky wrote four letters on the board: F.C.C.P. These letters stand for Fellowship, Confession, Consecration, and Prayer. These things are vital tools of fulfilling God’s economy. We must allow these items to become our genuine experiences as well as life to us.
There are two types of fellowship. One type is between the Lord and us and the other is with all the saints. We first need to be able to have a genuine and enjoyable fellowship with the Lord. This will lead us to a sweet fellowship with the saints.
The next item is confession. In order to have a proper fellowship with the Lord we need to have a clean conscience. The only way to have a clean conscience is to confess our sins because sin blocks our fellowship with the Lord. We need to constantly come to the Lord and take His cleansing blood. This clears all hindrances and allows us to enjoy the Lord’s presence.
Consecration is to give our selves to the Lord anew. Whenever we consecrate ourselves to Him, it is like having a new and fresh start with Him. When we consecrate ourselves to Him, we are set apart from the world and reserved for God. In order to consecrate ourselves to Him we must drop everything and let Him fill us.
Prayer is a means for us to directly contact God. We often have the false concept that prayer is simply for us to tell God what we want and He will give it to us. Actually, our prayer needs to be according to the Lord’s leading so that through our prayer He can accomplish His will as well as bless us.
We need all four points in our daily lives in order to fulfill God’s economy and to be in constant contact with God. When we apply these four points to our lives in a genuine way, the Lord fills us and is able to use us for His purpose.
