EP #282 - Manifesting Christ: Principles vs. Relationship | Are We Truly Operating in Love?

Catherine Toon

The spiritual laws of the kingdom are available to all—but are we operating in true relationship with Christ or just working spiritual principles for our own gain? While following God’s ways leads to life and abundance, we see these principles can be operated outside of relationship. We see this with: * Unrighteous people who seem to prosper outside of loving God and others * New Age seekers who tap into spiritual laws without Christ * Believers who mix truth/ministry with manipulation, compromise, and personal agendas Operating out of intimate relationship with Christ causes us to not only experience life and abundance as He defines them, but do the one eternal thing that ultimately matters: love as He loves. The sobering reality? Any of us can fall into the trap of valuing things above relationship with Him That’s why Jesus warns: Matthew 7:21-23 (TPT) “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into heaven’s kingdom... I will say to them, ‘Go away from me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’” God only relates to who we truly are: not the false deceitful manipulative and fallen ways of beings and false identities - they will not last the fires of His Love. In this powerful and eye-opening message, we’ll explore: * Why relationship with Christ matters more than spiritual principles * How to examine our hearts and remove hidden motives * Why seeking God’s kingdom first leads to true abundance (Matthew 6:33) * How to recognize false prophets and avoid deception (Matthew 7:14-25) * The difference between operating in power vs. operating in love Let’s shift from simply working spiritual laws to walking in true, life-giving relationship with Jesus!
