Our Spiritual relationship will only work if it is with our Lord, not our Pastor, or the Church. We must create a relationship with God through His Word, prayer, worship, and praise. Some Christians feel more gratitude, generosity, and love towards the men that deliver the Word than the man that is the Word. The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous people may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers us from them all."Psalm 34:17-19. God is who we should serve, but instead we worship the man that cannot save us or help us with our problems. Do we trust the man because we can see him and not our Lord which is unseen? 2 Corinthians 4:18 tells us "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Maybe this is why so many Christians are losing faith because they do not believe in what they cannot see, so they turn to man, which they can see. But what good is it to see something that is useless to us. If we are truly saved, we cannot see God, but we can surely feel Him. God is a Spirit, and everything about Him works through our Spirit.
John 3:6-8 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
Lord, thank You for opening my mind so I could understand the Scriptures. The Word says the Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of our sins will be preached in His name to all Nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Father, I am a witness to these things, and I am grateful for the Holy Spirit that guides, protect, and provide for me, in Jesus name. Jesus did what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, so our Father sent His Son in the likeness of man to save us. Thank You, Lord, for condemning my flesh so that I may live through Your Spirit, I pray in Your name Amen
