1. BOLD Ministry
Joanne Highley
BOLD Ministry
Keys to maintaining a deep fellowship with the Lord:
 Change your schedule and you will change your life.
 Schedule an appointment with God with a specific time and place.
 Pray for God's help to keep your appointment with Him.
 Don't be discouraged! No one starts a discipline at 100%.
 Aim at an overall pattern so your devotional times become consistent.
 Remind yourself that the Lord Jesus is with you and His Spirit really lives in you as
your new nature.
The Lord desires your fellowship even more than you do His and He rewards those who seek
Him.
