Your Relationship with God

Christianity is not a religion; it is a relationship with a living God. I can not stress enough the importance of your daily relationship with God. Are you hearing the voice of God? Does He tell you how much He loves you? If not, ask the Holy Spirit to open those lines of communication and God will speak to you. All relationships are based upon communication. Your communication with God is vital to your spiritual growth.

I get so excited when I read 1 Cor. 2:9-10, “Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, neither has entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him. God has revealed them unto us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God.”

Note; your communication with God is done in the spirit. This is why it is so important that we develop an understanding of how the Holy Spirit works.

It is just as important to learn how to worship God in the spirit. As God’s Children we all need to worship God to maintain a healthy relationship with Him. It is critical that you express your gratitude, adoration, and love for Him. This is done in a time of worship, be it alone or when we gather together.

Singing in the spirit, speaking in tongues, interpretation, and prophecy are all a part of worshiping in the spirit, chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians. If you have not yet experienced this type of worship then asked God to introduce them into your relationship. It is through worship that we find strength, revelation, comfort, and the joy of celebration. During worship we are reminded of who we are and our relationship with God.
