We have to come to a place where we really know God and have a very close relationship with Him.

       Religious ideas that come from a misunderstanding of the Bible blocks us from entering into a close relationship with Him.

               Many people are really afraid to come to God because they have been taught or have gotten the impression that He is going strike them with something [like sickness, disease, poverty, disasters,  or death etc]; but that's not the relationship God desires or that His Word teaches.
