Hello everyone! This post is about having a relationship with God. First of all, everyone knows that as a start of having a relationship with God you have to believe in him for who he is. To believe in him means to trust in, rely on, and adhere to. When you believe in something you trust that everything is going to work out. When you rely on something you are depending on it to workout. When you adhere to something you are listening for it clinging to it wanting to be in the presence of it. It works the same way with God, believing in him is trusting that he is going to do what he do and take care of whatever needs to be taken care of; you trust that he is not going to let you down or ever leave your side; you trust that he hears you when you pray. Believing in him is depending on God for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING, letting him take control of your life because you believe that it is already mapped out. The things that God wants for you you want them to. Believing in him is seeking him first before going to anyone else because you know he is trust worthy and that he is faithful. Believing in God is believing everything about him everything that he does and everything that he says and just going with. Believing in him is having faith in him knowing that even when it doesnt look like anything you hold on to it. Thats the first step. The next step is believing that he had a solution to the worlds problem. What was that solution? He decided to put himself in the form of a man and make himself known to everyone. That making himself known that everyone would believe on him and follow him…believe on the only name that has authority and the only named in which we are saved under: JESUS Once you believe that and confess with your mouth you are saved. There you go…you have started your relationship. Third thing, now its time to give your life over to him and start pressing toward that mark…the goal…the mandate. What is the mandate for all believers? Matthew 6:33 “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and these things shall be added unto you” When your seeking him first and always first along with his kingdom you dont have to worry about those other things in life….they will come along…the question is how do you know that your seeking his kingdom and his righteousness….start with getting born again of water and spirit. Whaaaaat? What does that mean? Heres your answer: John 3:5 “Jesus answered, Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” What does being born of water mean? Being baptized. When you believe that Jesus died for your sins and already paid that price….its time to die with him. Being baptized into Christ is an important part of this life…How are you baptized into Christ? Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” When you go down in that water you die with him, and every single sin youve ever had, have and will have have been washed away. When you raise up out that water you are a new creature and everything becomes new. Why be baptized in the name of Jesus?? Acts 4:12 “Neither is their salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Now what is the Holy Ghost? The Holy Ghost is your comforter who was sent when Jesus went away…the spirit of adoption…Having that spirit lets you know for sure that you are his! How do you know? Romans 8:8-9 “So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Also everyone who is born again..of water and the Spirit have a heavenly language that they pray to talk to God…thats really personall…Being baptized with the Holy Ghost you will speak in tongues (a language that is NOT english and not natural). How do you know? Acts 2:4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” What that means is that they began to speak in another lanugage and the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression in each tongue and appropriate words. Also look at this Acts 2:6 AMP “And when the sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them(the apostles) speaking in his own particular dialect” So you can clearly see there that thas a start of what to do…After all that is done just make sure love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. Thats the first and GREATEST command…and the next one is to love your neighbor as yourself. Continue to go about your life….everyday continuing to seek God, praying in the natural and in the Spirit daily, meditating and reading his Word….striving to be like him, go out tell people about Jesus winning souls for the kingdom…praying for others and healing them…casting out the things that appear evil….Make sure you are renewing your mind daily…because the times are evil…Renew your mind daily and do not love the things of this world..or conform to it Romans 12:2...You are not your own anymore…You belong to God….Produce the fruits of the Spirit…people will know you by your fruits…this life aint easy….but when its all said and done…the important thing is to maintain that relationship with God…when its all said and done all the believers want to hear God say “well done”
