How to move from religion to relationship


Listen Later

In todays episode we explore how to cultivate a genuine personal relationship with God by abandoning the boundaries of religion.  I'll take you through a few things you may be doing that are keeping you within religion and away from relationship, as well as a few steps to take to ignite an intimate relationship with the Lord. Thanks for listening - stay till the end to get saved! 

Show notes: 

Religion = anything that feels like a requirement to know God or to be “Christian”

Whats wrong with being religious? (Is your relationship performative?) 

Cant have rules AND relationship

Compare the relationships you have in your life now - is it based in rules?

God had 8 billion children - each one of those relationships is going to look different - God knows how to get to you

Asses the “spiritual” things you do and ask yourself why you do them, if you stopped do you think you’d be doing something wrong?

Ex: reading the Bible/attending church weekly/certain politcal views/listening to worship music/small groups/not cursing/not watching certain shows/movies or listening to certain music/abstaining from sex/being modest

Could you stop doing any of the above and still have God? if your relationship is predicated on the continuation of any of those things you may have religion and not relationship

What now?

some things I changed to get closer  to God and away from religion

Beautiful part: She knows what you need allow Her to manifest as She knows is best for you

Like to get saved? Recite the prayer below or with me at the end of the podcast!

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus name I pray and believe, amen.”

Congratulations! You just made the best decision of your life! I am more than happy for you! Remember the prayer above is there for guidance if you don’t know what to say. The best prayer you can pray is the most honest prayer you can pray. You can pray wherever however, eyes open or closed - just be open. Tell God anything! He/She/They is excited to hear from you! She loves you dearly, you are His beloved. They have a plan for your life and are happy to hear from you!

Here are a few steps to follow from this point:

  1. Tell someone! Community is vital!
  2. Pray! As often as you’d like, daily would be best. Doesn’t matter how long just pour out your heart to God. Listen to the Spirit speak back to you.
  3. Buy a Bible or get the app. There are plenty of Bible plans out there - find one that interests you.
  4. Find a church near you or online. (Ask God to show you one that would work best for you!)
  5. Grow your relationship with God! This comes through drawing close to God and allowing He/She/They to guide you. If you’re having a hard time SAY THAT! God already knows what you’re thinking - She loves you and wants to help you!
  6. "What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

    Thank you for listening! God bless!
