We either relate to God based on faith or religion (formulas and ceremonies). Faith is relational, trusting in God, and believing we are created in His likeness and image and have authority on Planet Earth. Formulas are like incantations used to bring about results in a magical manner. For example, tacking the name of Jesus at the end of prayer should force God to do what we asked Him to do. We create a world in harmony with our image. Decide with God in prayer that you will only accept God's testimony of Himself.
