Why does mankind want religion instead of a relationship?

People start and build church buildings but leave out the One who's is building the true and everlasting Body of Christ His Church!

The root word of Christmas is of course Christ, without Christ there is no Christmas! Jesus came to purchase us with His Blood, to demonstrate and reveal God’s love for us. Truly, the very purpose of the birth of Jesus is to leave no doubt that God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) loves this world!
Hold up a planter with a little pine tree in one hand and a pine board in the other and ask the people what's the difference between these two?
One is alive the other is dead for it has no root! Is Jesus your root this Christmas morning 2022?
*Matthew 15:13 KJVS
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Close your eyes and agree with me in prayer. Father God in Jesus's name open our spiritual eyes and let us see every rock of the flesh and the world that is squeezing out the ROOT of Jesus. The  rocks of pride and passion, of self and sin and the like I repent of and replace with the ROOT of Jesus now.
With that being said open your Bibles to:

*Text:*Colossians 2:6-7 KJVS
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: [7] Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Isaiah 11:1-5 KJVS
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: [2] And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord ; [3] And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord : and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: [4] But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. [5] And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Verse 3
Are you worried or worshipping?
Are you blessed or bored?

Verse4
Don't  let the devil turn my opportunities  into obstacles!
You can't  have comfort  without corrections!

*Isaiah 53:1-6 KJVS
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? [2] For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. [4] Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Let the Holy Spirit take the rocks out of your life  and the ROOT of Jesus  come in....

*Romans 15:12-13 KJVS
And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. [13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Will you release the power or the problem?
