“RELATIONSHIP, A WILLINGLY RECEIVED!” With church folks today it’s common to hear, I have a relationship with the Lord. The problem with most of these relationships is, the Lord is waiting for you, but yet your concerns is elsewhere. Galatians 5:7; Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? John 14:6; Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Ephesians 4:22; That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; v23; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; v24; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (A willingly received. Amos 3:3; Can two walk together, except they be agreed?) “RELATIONSHIP, A WILLINGLY RECEIVED!” John 6:16; And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, v17; And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. (Here is a common occurrence with church folks in the absence of being in church, being with the Lord. You’ll go fleshly being in the world. Galatians 3:3; Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Philippians 2:12; Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.) “RELATIONSHIP, A WILLINGLY RECEIVED!” John 6:18; And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. (This is a prime reacting of the flesh. 1 Corinthians 9:27; But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.) John 6:19; So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. (When you keep yourself it will show your relationship. 2 Timothy 1:7; For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.) John 6:20; But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. “RELATIONSHIP, A WILLINGLY RECEIVED!” John 6:21; Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 1 Peter 3:15; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. (A willingly received. Isaiah 1:19; If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.) “RELATIONSHIP, A WILLINGLY RECEIVED!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle
