Life Is About Relationships

Christianity is primarily not a religion of doctrine; it is a religion of relationships!

Religion is the relationship between humans and what they consider to be Sacred, Holy, Spiritual, or Divine.

Relationship is what The Holy Spirit is emphasizing by every means possible.  You can be totally right in all your doctrines and totally wrong in all your relationships.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 3:

8 Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate Love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly Love one another.

9 Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you.

10 For the Scriptures tell us: Whoever wants to embrace true Life and find beauty in each day

11 must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say. Always turn from what is wrong and cultivate what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it your prize.

12 For the Eyes of the Lord YAHWEH rest upon the Godly, and His Heart responds to their prayers. But He turns His Back on those who practice evil.

The above passage reiterated what was conveyed by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 34:

12 Do you want to live a long, good life, enjoying the beauty that fills each day? Then never speak a lie or allow wicked words to come from your mouth.

14 Keep turning your back on every sin, and make “peace” your life motto. Practice being at peace with everyone.

15 The Lord sees all we do; He watches over His friends day and night. His Godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to Him.

16 But the Lord has made up His Mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth.

A symphony requires a conductor (The Holy Spirit), a musical score (The Word of GOD) and a group of musicians who are playing in one accord and in harmony with each other (believers).  The result is a pleasant and desirable result.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 2:

1 Most of all, I’m writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to God. Pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion.

2 And pray for every political leader and representative, so that we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.

3 It is pleasing to our Savior-God to pray for them.

4 He longs for everyone to embrace His Life and return to the full knowledge of the Truth.

Who are we to pray for as a high priority?  Political leaders and representatives!  What is the expected result?  That we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.

We should include this priority in our daily prayer time.  The new administration coming to power of January 20th, 2025, has its highest priority, to promote peace, lawfulness, honesty, and prosperity.  This is the definition of good government.

Those who oppose these mandates will be dealt with in the appropriate fashion.  Warmongers, the lawless, and those who have compromised the health of the nation for money, will be removed from their positions of power. 

We need to take Paul’s encouragement seriously!  Prayer in the spiritual realm will impact the physical realm.
