Relationship vs. religion 

The R’s of Religion

Rules, Restrictions, Regulations, and Rituals Glorify Man 

Religion redirects people away from God and towards Religious Leaders. This is wrong. Jesus Christ died so that we could enter into a personal relationship with God. Religion motivates people by fear of punishment/rejection, to walk in a circle, as they comply with the Rules, Restrictions, Regulations, and Rituals of the church over and over and over again to receive the praise of Religious Leaders as your actions bring them glory.

Faith is placed in the mindless actions requested by the church, rather than in Jesus Christ Himself. Actions are done mindlessly in prevention of punishment/rejection, rather than, done in love for Jesus Christ. There is no Power (Energy) imputed by God in this scenario. Nor does God provide Confirmations of Faith to religious folk, because their actions are motivated by Fear. Fear is the opposite of Faith.

Religion drains. Relationship empowers. 

God wants to confirm His Existence to you! SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries applies a 5-Step Program to Spiritually Feel God 

Step 1: Faith with Loving Surrender

Faith

Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). If we want to receive the inheritance from God that Jesus Christ died to give us, we must believe in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Faith that manifests the Power of God believes the entire Bible.  SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries provides:

  • Selah Believe Moments that show fulfillment of prophecy, expressions of how Science and Nature verify the Bible as accurate, and testimonies of the Saints to increase our faith in God.
  • Rhema Word interpretation of Scripture. Rhema Word is Divinely Inspired Word from God as expressed through Saints that are currently living and is biblically rooted. We will provide the scripture references to biblically rooted Rhema Word.

Loving Surrender

Not only must we believe in our hearts and confess out loud that “Jesus is Lord”, we must also surrender our lives to God and trust Him in full realization of His Infinite Love for us. God is not like man that He should lie. God does not speak and then not fulfill (Numbers 23:19). SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries provides:

  • Selah Love Moments that communicate the immense love that God has for all of Creation along with God’s Loving Attributes to increase our trust in Him.
  • Selah Joy Moments that share the Promises of God in His Word for us! 

When we pause to calmly think about a Selah Believe Moment, our faith will increase. When we read a Selah Love Moment or a Selah Joy Moment with that faith active, God will send SoulMotions of Love and of Joy into our spirits to be dispersed out to the components of our souls to empower us to do the Will of God for our lives. 

One of the biggest misconceptions about the Will of God is that it is the same for every person. It is not. God’s Precepts (Commandments and Ways of Living) are the same for everyone; however, God’s Will includes our individual Divine Destiny in Christ, which is different for everyone. The more we mold into the image of Jesus Christ, the more original our lives become.

God made us unique to emphasize that we are predestined for unique lives. SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries offers Bible Studies that enable our readers to craft their very own unique Steps of Real Faith that lead to their unique Divine Destiny.

God made you. He knows what makes you tick and what your likes and dislikes are. Why keep living a dry and dead copycat life? Start taking steps that lead to the unique Divine Destiny you were made for with SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries today!

Step 2: Right Motives

God desires that we serve Him in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23). Meaning, that we serve God with godly motives because we truly love Him. To receive Power from God, we must seek His Face and not His Hand. If we ask God for something when we lack faith and/or with selfish motives, we fail to activate the Power of God to propel us onto the right path to receive the blessings we prayed for. We can only serve God in Spirit when the Power of God is active in our lives. 

Step 3: Baptism of the Spirit

The Baptism of The Holy Spirit occurs when Jesus Christ baptizes us into the Power of God. It is symbolic of crossing the veil into the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle, where the Ark of the Covenant lay in Old Testament days. The High Priest could only cross the veil to where the Ark of the Covenant lay once a year. On the Day of Atonement.

Today, we are allowed to constantly dwell in the Most Holy Place through our faith in Jesus Christ. Our firm unwavering belief that Jesus Christ took the place of our punishment for sin, filters out the Wrath from God’s Power through the Blood of Christ so that it can manifest into our lives.  

Before we can receive the Baptism of the Spirit, we must go to Jesus Christ in Repentance of our sins. To repent means to ask for forgiveness and pledge to strive to turn away from each individual sin (Insert as a definition using plugin). After Repentance, we ask Jesus Christ for Baptism into Power:

  1. Motive 1: To know Him through Revelation of His Word.
  2. Motive 2: To connect with Him for Divine Comfort, Guidance, Direction, Knowledge, Understanding, and/or Intervention within our everyday lives.
  3. Motive 3: To receive our Spiritual Gifts (1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12) and instruction on how to use them for the Glory of God.
  4. Motive 4: To strengthen us for our journeys into our unique individual Divine Destinies in Christ.

At least one of those 4 motives above must be true in our hearts. SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries provides Steps of Real Faith to set your heart on doing to testify of proper motive to God for the release of the Baptism of the Spirit to empower your life. Our content is structured to activate the Power of God in your life simply by following our program.

A Manifestation of The Holy Spirit is Power from God for a specific action. Whereas, the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, places you into the Power of God 24/7/365, as long as you continue to fight the good fight of faith. To exercise the spiritual gifts you were predestined to receive, you must be baptized into the Power of God (Grace).

The Spirit will testify to the Father and the Son that our heart’s request mirrors what is in the Mind of the Spirit (Romans 8:27). The Mind of the Spirit is the Word of God (John 1:1). Therefore, renewing our minds with the Word of God is essential to praying in the Will of God for your life (Romans 12:2).

Prayers go unanswered because of wrong motive, lack of faith, lack of Power from God, and/or lack of knowledge of the Word of God. Many of which are interconnected. Our Program will correct all of these issues that are hindering your prayer life. 

Step 4: Steps of Real Faith

Once empowered through the Baptism of the Spirit, we must take Steps of Real Faith to demonstrate we love God and trust His Guidance over our lives. SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries offers powerfully simple steps our readers can take in a variety of problems and when experiencing various negative emotions to gain a surpassing victory over our spiritual enemy. SoulMotion of Joy! Ministries provides:

Selah Believe Moments (Step 1) that prompt you to pause to check that your faith is active.

Selah Love Moments (Step 2) that prompt you to pause to verify your motive is love. Your motive naturally forms your attitude.

Selah Peace Moments (Steps 3 and 4) that breakdown practical steps to take in thoughts, words, and motive. These Selah Peace Moments will prompt you to pause to reflect on the SoulMotions each step will transfer into your spirit by God. SoulMotions enable us to truly feel God through His Infinite Love, Peace, and Joy.

Selah Joy Moments (Step 5 to God) prompt you to reflect on the Promises of God your Steps of Real Faith are progressing you forward to receive. 

Step 5: Confirmation

When our Steps of Faith are infused with godly motives motivated by love, they transform into Steps of Real Faith. God will give us confirmation of our faith being active that confirms we are a Child of God and that what we are believing God for is in His Will for our lives. When what we are believing God for is in His Will, we already have what we ask God for (1 John 5:14-15)! But we must walk it out by faith to see it manifest in the physical realm.

God’s Confirmation is Divine Motivation to keep fighting the good fight of faith and to persevere under trial and testing. God’s Confirmation comes in many forms: 

  • Prophetic Word
  • Prophetic Vision
  • Revelation of Scripture
  • Prophetic Dream
  • Mini Victories/Partial Successes 
  • Knowledge and the Righteous Integration of it to yield the proper understanding
  • SoulMotions of Love, Peace, and Joy

Through God’s Confirmations, you will Spiritually Feel God as He transfers SoulMotions of Love, Peace, and Joy into your spirit. SoulMotions feel like their emotional counterparts, only they are stronger because they aren’t compromised by the sin that contaminates our souls from the seed of Adam.

GOD!

The Israelites in the wilderness following their Exodus from Egypt did NOT enter the Rest of God for lack of faith: 

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (Hebrews 4:2 KJV)

For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe). (Hebrews 4:2 AMP)

When we have faith in the right things, God gives us confirmation of our faith: 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1 KJV)

Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. (Hebrews 11:1 AMP)

Upon receiving Confirmation from God of our faith, we will enter into the Rest of God, where we receive God’s Love, Peace, and Joy for simply continuing to take Steps of Real Faith motivated by our love for God; as we know that in due time, we will receive the blessings that we are faithfully believing God for:

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (Hebrews 4:9-11 KJV)

So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the [true] people of God;

10 For he who has once entered [God’s] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own.

11 Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience [into which those in the wilderness fell]. (Hebrews 4:9-11 AMP)

Because, when God confirms what you are believing in Him for, you already have what you are asking God for as He has confirmed it to be in His Will for your life: 

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. (1 John 5:14-15 KJV)

14And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.

15And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him. (1 John 5:14-15 AMP)

Hallelujah! Our Program will increase your sensitivity to God’s Confirmations to motivate you to fight the good fight of faith to manifest the Promises of God in your life!
