Connected with God


Connected to God. If you separate yourself from God, it closes for complete source of productivity and lose the right to the blessings He wants to give you.
One of the biggest challenges we face every day is to remain united, connected to the source of power, wealth, love and forgiveness glory. That is to stay connected to the creator. Many people remain or are attached to an organization or religious denomination and because of that they are satisfied with their "religion" or fidelity that have kept their religious circle for a period of several years, however this does not guarantee that really are connected and maintain a vital link with God, and therefore have all the necessary resources to live an abundant life.
The book of Colossians describes Jesus as Colossians 1: 13-18) "13 He has delivered us from the domain [m] of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son [n], 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn [or] of all creation. 16 For in him were created all things, both in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible; whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before [p] all things, and in Him all things hold [q]. 18 He is also head of the body, the church ... "

Everything is sustained and kept alive through his powerful word. God's power is unleashed in your life when you stay alive in his word.
When He created the plants called them to leave the land and decreed that they should receive their nutrients from the soil. If a plant violates this law, dies. While this is subject to the law that was given by God during creation, this live, grow and flourish. However if the plant decides to ignore that law, it inevitably die. Hebrews 1: 3 says "(The son) is the brightness of his glory, the very image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power"
This truth applies to all creation and us. Extra creating us himself, God decreed that our lives should be maintained by Him. As we obey his commands, his power is released within us, and we have abundant life. Why the author of Hebrews says that Christ holds the universe with the power of his word. There is power in the word of God if we deliver. Jesus through his obedience unto death released the power of the word and gave us eternal life.

This principle is viewed from a different perspective in chapter (John 15: 4) "as the branch can not bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in my" Jesus is described as the same as the vine and his followers as the branches. Use the image of the vine because this is the only plant that has no life of its own in its branches. Any other species has separate branch of the vine you are wilted and died. If we separate ourselves from God our potential dies. Our need for God is not an option or an alternative, like plants and animals that can not live without land or fish without water, we can not flourish and bear fruit if we are separated from God.


If you continue in his word, it takes root in your heart and is established, its power is released while staying alive in his word, but if you separate God closes complete source of productivity and the right to the blessings he He wants to give you. That's where we are at the mercy of only our limited resources.
