Activity Verses Relationship

For over 2000 years Christians have been doing a lot of things in the name of Jesus and some maybe most of it had nothing to do with Jesus. Our priorities and activities may need to be re-evaluated from time to time. Most of us have been told somewhere in our journey to eat from the wrong tree (this is good/this is bad) We have been told that it is all about doing instead of being. If I try to be a better person and always do the right thing, God would be pleased. Now there is nothing wrong with trying to be a better person, however it must be in the right order. I got the cart before the horse. A relationship with the Lord must come first, to obtain the proper outcome.

Mat 6:33

“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

Seek first his kingdom or his realm, which is within. The spiritual realm is beyond the natural. We are not seeking a natural kingdom out there somewhere; we are seeking a spiritual realm where the father dwells and that realm is inside of us. What is this spiritual realm?

It’s a higher realm of consciousness built in accordance with the Christ mind or Christ consciousness. The realm of Spirit is wherever God is working to express Himself. When man becomes the perfect image and likeness of God, no other realm will appear to have been.
There is a huge difference between dead works and God works and James is referring to God works. Many times, we are told to do this and that in order to please God. We must discern between what man says and what God says. Sometimes it is the same but sometimes it is not the same. That is where relationship must enter in. If we are in relation with someone, we know that person very well. We know their likes and dislikes. The Bible is a great guide; however it can be misinterpreted. When we know God’s voice there is no chance to misinterpret that beautiful small still voice of the Father.
