Why? How? Listen up.
The relationship is what is required to grow, to receive all that the soul needs spiritually and physically, keep in mind that spiritual is the mental. The relationship with Elohim is Him making us whole. But, we must give up self—the sinful nature, the carnal mind. The relationship with Elohim is all about Him, He is all about us, restoring us, creating us a new creature. He does it. He is all about us if He sees His Son’s righteousness in us, Love, His character. There is no selfishness, no pride in the relationship. There is no our way because of oneself; no “me, myself, and I”.
Anyone, even an unbeliever, or an atheist can have a relationship with Elohim.
A relationship is based upon the individual, their own thought process, their emotions, their own perceptions: self, satisfying, all self—No self sacrificing love of Elohim.
The relationship Elohim requires of His people is based on His Love, His will, His truths, His righteousness—all pertaining to what is best for His created beings; what will give us life, health, etcetera. We don’t see His character, Love because self is not dead—the sinful flesh has not died and self does not crucify the sinful flesh daily (moment by moment each and every day).
The relationship Elohim requires is total submission of mind and body—The whole soul to Him moment by moment throughout each and every day; total dependence upon Him, trusting Him, loving Him unto obedience: The just shall live by faith: Faith brings about works; the works reveals faith—they cannot be separated, and obedience reveals Love.
The relationship Elohim requires is complete cooperation with Him in our daily life choices, by our faith—we exercise the measure of faith He has given us; He increases our faith unto giving us the faith of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—total dependence upon our Holy Father in Heaven.
The relationship Elohim requires is not different with each soul who is His, in whom He puts His Holy Spirit (we ask for the Holy Spirit, He gives the Holy Spirit to us). We each are laborers in His harvest. He may have to speak to us differently; but, the relationship He requires of each soul does not differ. He requires complete surrender of self-will to His will; He requires complete and total obedience. He requires our all—He gave His only begotten Son; and His Son laid down His life and picked it up! HalleluYah!!! All that we may be saved, delivered from sin. HalleluYah!!!
Elohim is light and in Him is no darkness at all. His people whose eye is light, darkness does not dwell within, darkness is not given a place within. Elohim’s Holy Spirit will not dwell in the soul given to devils, submitting to Satan in yielding to his temptations. He does not share us with darkness. He requires our total commitment to Him, not partial.
Satan, his ways has no place in Elohim. Elohim is in they who are filled with the Holy Spirit He put in them when each soul crucifies the sinful flesh moment by moment every day; and they take up their cross and follow Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
The soul in the relationship Elohim requires lives in a state of repentance, doing the works of repentance. It is He who keeps our mind stayed upon Him in perfect peace. He restores us unto image and after His likeness. There is no sin there. We turn away from sin. We depart from evil. It is Christ righteousness in us that we live. Period. Therefore, He keeps us from falling. Period.
Jesus Christ is in the Holiest place of His Sanctuary. Are we living there? Are we abiding in Him there and He abiding in us? Know if so, our fruit reflects Him, His Light, Life, Love, all truth, obedience, the faith of Jesus Christ—righteousness by faith.
Study out, meditate upon the Word led of the Holy Ghost Matthew 22:1-14.
