Jes:Us

I wanted to talk about who is evolved in this relationship and that is you and God. No one can have a relationship with God for you or on your behalf it has to come from you. You having fellowship with Other Christians doesn't constitute a relationship with God.  you knowing a pastor and go to church does not constitute a relationship with God. You Going to a small group doesn't mean you have a relationship with God. You reading your Bible doesn't mean you have a relationship with God. Anything you can think of holy doesn't mean you have a relationship with God. If you do not do this one thing and that one thing is major in any relationship and it is one that most Christians do not do at all and that is to listen to the other and that is God. We not only speak and do but we need to listen and do. We talk then God talks, we act then God acts, and we do whatever then God does His part. To be clear here it may be nothing that God does, or God does not say anything. That is still a response that sometimes has a greater impact than an actual response meaning verbal or action. So to bring this point home I will let the Bible speak for itself on this subject.

For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:12

For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:20

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13

Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees. Psalm 119:67-68

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

For God does speak — now one way, now another — though no one perceives it. Job 33:14

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Romans 12:6-8

Do you want to accept the relationship God wants to have with you?
