Welcome back to another episode of Followers of the Way. I am your host, Jeremiah. And in today's episode, we're going to talk about relationships. We're going to talk about what ends a relationship, the real reason behind each and every relationship that ends. Stay tuned because the answer will shock you. We are called followers of the way simply because Yahushua said he is the way, therefore making us followers of the way. Everything you hear on this channel come by way of revelation simply because Yahuwah is that revelation. Heavenly Father, give us eyes to see, give us ears to hear, a heart to understand what your spirit is saying about relationship. Let us get into today's episode. But I want to give you a guarantee. I guarantee you this by the end of this episode, you will have a clear understanding why all relationships end. Some of you, it will be enlightened to find out the reason behind. And some of you, it will be shocking when you discover the real reason why relationships end. All right. What is the difference between a foundation and growth? The two work hand in hand, absolutely, but they're different. You see, a plant grows when you plant it, water it, and give it sunlight. So a foundation, once it's laid, it must be built upon. So what is a relationship, a healthy relationship built upon? Again, no wrong answers. Every relationship is different. So let's talk about a few things that a healthy relationship should be built upon. I believe a relationship, a healthy one, should be built upon alignment, truth, respect, honor, trust, commitment, compromise. Those are a few things that a healthy relationship should be built upon. All right. Now, the question is: how do the relationship grow? We see what the relationship is built upon, but how do we grow the relationship? How do we take a relationship from day one to being together for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years? That's growth. Two components is needed. We need water and sunlight for a plant. In relationships, we need mercy and we need forgiveness. You see, mercy and forgiveness in a relationship is what gives growth and water to the relationship. Mercy and forgiveness allow the relationship to endure. It allow the relationship to mature. It allows the relationship to heal over time. Without mercy and forgiveness, that relationship would not grow. Now, we establish the foundation and what is needed for a healthy relationship to grow. Now, let me ask you another question. What ends a relationship then? Notice what I asked you. I didn't ask you what made the relationship difficult. I didn't ask you what makes this relationship hard. I didn't ask you what makes this relationship not work. I asked you why relationships end. Now, a relationship, believe it or not, can survive. Some, in fact, can survive betrayal, adultery, and dishonesty if two people are willing to make it work. Now, those things within itself make any relationship difficult to maintain, to grow, to endure when there's dope, when there's adultery, dishonesty, and betrayal. Believe it or not, when I tell you this, that is not the reason why relationships end. Say what? Yes. A relationship never ends because of dishonesty or betrayal or adultery. No. Now, can there can those be reasons that led to the relationship that end? Absolutely. But no relationship can end because of dishonesty alone, betrayal alone, adultery alone. It can't be, it doesn't end that way. So go back to the question then. What then ends a relationship? And while you're thinking about what ends a relationship, I want you to think about a four-letter word. Love. Do you believe that love is critical in a healthy relationship? Do you believe that the father loves us? Do you think love is needed when you are having children or having a family? If you believe love is critical, if you believe love is important in a relationship, then I am in agreement with you because love has everything to do with a relationship. Love is the very foundation of every healthy relationship. And I don't say that loosely. A healthy relationship is built upon love because everything that is needed in order for that relationship to function and to grow is already comes with love. This is how important love is to a relationship. Within love, these things come with love. Truth, mercy, forgiveness, patience, kindness, compassion, correction, boundaries, and even discipline. All comes with love. Now, all those things are needed in a healthy relationship. And if you said, and if you are in agreement that love is critical, that love is important in a relationship. If love is the reason why relationships last, if love is the reason why relationships grow, if love is the very foundation that a relationship is built upon, can love be the reason as to why a relationship could end? I know you just stumbled. Say it with me. If love is the core essence to a healthy relationship, can love be the reason why a relationship ends? That's challenging, isn't it? Like I said, this episode is going to enlighten you, and it's episode will shock you at the same time. How can love, Jeremiah, ends a relationship that doesn't make sense? Let me tell you why it doesn't make sense. If you say it, it doesn't make sense. Because we've been conditioned by repetition to think and to perceive love differently. So the best answer I can give you, we must go back to the law. The law of reproducing. You see, from the very beginning, Yahuwah established everything on earth to reproduce, but not only reproduce, but to reproduce in a very specific way, to reproduce after its own kind. If you turn to the book of Genesis, chapter one, verse 12, it says, and the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself after his kind. What do that mean? Everything that Yahuwah created on earth, fruits, plants, animals, even humanity, everything, say it with me, everything reproduces according to what it is. What does that have to do with love? Everything. You see, that's the same way a relationship functions. A relationship reproduces after the life-giving source within the relationship. Because everything that Yahuwah made, he made out of love. He made with love. So everything that we see, you and I, all has a beginning. And it all began with love. If you look at first John chapter four, verse 19, it says, We love him, Yahuwah, because he first loved us. And his desire is that our lives continue in the same love. So what does that mean, Jeremiah? Okay. The way you begin is the way you end. Let us go back. Let me challenge your conditioning of repetition of love. We've been taught that love comes later in a relationship. We've been taught that love takes time. It doesn't. Not true love. You see, let me challenge that for a second. If you're in a relationship now and you say, I love you, great. Let me ask you a question. When you first met that person that you have a vision of love, okay. How can something begin with the unknown but ends in love? How can a banana begin but end as an orange? How can a baby how can a male child begin as a baby boy but end as an elephant? It never can happen. Why? We gotta go back to the law. Everything in life, fruits, animals, plant, humanity, got life-given seed already within itself. So if you began as a human, you will end as a human. If you began in confusion, you will end. You ever seen a debate? Have you ever seen a debate began in confusion, and in the end of that debate, they it ended in understanding? I have never seen that before in my life. So you have a debate based on misunderstanding, it will end in misunderstanding. So the way it begins by the law of Yahuwah is the way it ends. Now let us go back to the question. If love is the foundation of the relationship and it begins with love, can love be the reason why the relationship ended? How can a relationship, Jeremiah, end in love? Okay, let me help you understand. Because love comes with forgiveness, mercy, truth, compassion. It comes with patience, understanding, boundaries, and firewalls. But love also comes with vision. And when there is vision in a relationship, there must be an agreement. Okay. A guy asks a lady out for coffee. The lady says no. The guy had vision. The guy's vision was coffee with the young lady, but the lady declined the invitation. Did they end up having coffee? No. Why? There was no agreement to the vision. But if the same guy asks a young lady out for coffee, and the young lady says, Yes, I would love to have coffee with you, it began with what vision? A vision of coffee. And how did it end? With coffee. Okay. When we say vision and love, we gotta go back to the purpose of why the Father formed us. In Genesis chapter 1, verse 26, it says, Let us make man in our image. That's the vision after our likeness. That's the vision. That was the purpose behind the creation of man. Right? He says, Whom he foreknew, he already predestined to be conformed into the image of his son. So the vision of the father was us to be conformed into the image of his son. If we are not in agreement with the Father, can you and I be conformed into that image? No. Why? Because we're not in agreement. What happened to the love? I thought we began, Jeremiah, in love. We did. We did begin in love, but that love had a vision. And because we did not agree in the vision, that same love said goodbye. Why are you saying bye to me, Father? I thought you loved me. I do. But if you want to walk with me, you must be in agreement with me. I'm not, I can't force you. But my goal is to conform you into the image of my son. And I will complete that goal. But what it takes in order for that goal to be completed is for you to be in agreement with me. I'm going to love you regardless if you walk with me, and I'm going to love you regardless if you walk with me. But what I can't do is compromise who I am. So therefore, we can't walk together because I can't compromise who I am. So love ends the relationship. Shocking, isn't it? That's shocking. What is vision, right, if two people don't agree? What is vision if two people don't walk together? What is that called? It's called a misalignment. Now, a misalignment is critical in any relationship because a misalignment is the very cancer of each and every relationship. Say that with me. Misalignment in a relationship is critical. Why? Because misalignment is the reason behind each and every relationship that ends. The Bible says in Galatians 5:9, a little levent leaven the whole lump. And that's misalignment. When misalignment goes unnoticed, misalignment begins to compromise the very foundation. Misalignment begins to compromise the very vision. Misalignment begins to compromise love. And those are the things that are vital to a healthy relationship. That's why misalignment is dangerous. Now, is compromise needed in a relationship? Absolutely. A relationship must have compromise. But here's the thing: compromise has a limit. You cannot compromise your truth, your identity, your respect, your vision. If you compromise your identity, your respect, your vision, then you no longer have a healthy relationship. You have what looks to be a healthy relationship. So what do that mean? You look good on social media. You look good when you're outside holding hands. You look good when you guys go out. But deep down inside, when you get home, you're both unhappy. Yeah. Because you're not in alignment. You both are looking at the problems of this relationship because you're not in alignment. How did we get there, Jeremiah? Because you compromise your identity. You compromise your vision. Because you compromise your righteousness. You compromise your love. And now you're settling for something called a relationship. Built on what? Misalignment. Because once you begin to compromise the foundation, you're no longer preserving the relationship. See, a relationship is built to last, is built to bend, is built to stretch, is built to endure hardship. But when you bend a relationship or compromise a relationship, that the foundation and the vision of your relationship no longer exists. The relationship is no longer built on love, it's built on compromise. So the relationship ends. How? Now let me help you understand that. How does love end a relationship? I want you to turn to the book of John, chapter 15, verse 13. In order for you to understand how love ends a relationship, we now got to understand what is love. And once we understand what is love, then we can understand that same love that loved us is the reason why the relationship must end. John chapter 15, verse 13 says, Yahusha says, Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. But that same love that Yahushua said cannot compromise itself to keep us. You see, Yahusha cannot compromise his truth. He cannot compromise his righteousness. He cannot compromise his vision for you and I. And because he cannot compromise his self, then what must he do to maintain his vision, his identity, his righteousness, his love? He got to let us go. What I thought he said he would never leave me nor forsake me. He didn't leave you. He did not forsake you. He did not stop loving you because you and I refuse to be in alignment with him, then he says, I cannot walk with you because what you're doing compromise my vision. I can't walk with you because what you're doing compromise my love. And if I compromise my vision, and if I compromise my love, then what is our relationship built upon? Nothing. I love you. But if that's what you choose to do, then I gotta let you go. Why? Because we're not in agreement, we're misaligned. Yahuwah said in 2 Peter 3 and 9, Yahuwah is not willing that any should perish, that all should come unto repentance. So love never stops loving you. He doesn't want you to perish. He wants you to come unto repentance. What is repentance? Repentance is Turn back to alignment. Turn back to love. Change your mind and come back into agreement with the Father. He still loves you. That's why he gave us repentance. Yahusha says in Matthew 16, 18, and I say unto thee, upon this rock I will build my assembly. Stop. Notice what he said. Upon this rock he will build his assembly. Upon the revelation of who he is, he's going to build relationship with you. Upon his identity, he's going to build relationship with you. Upon his truth, his purpose, his vision, he's going to build relationship with us. So how do each and every relationship with the Father begin upon this rock, upon the love, upon the identity, upon the name of Yahusha, each and every one of us that believe this is the beginning of the relationship. Now, he said he's gone to prepare a place for you and I. So where he is, we may be also. So if we begin with Yahusha, if we begin in the love of Yahusha, where do we end? If we continue in that love, we end up with Yahusha. So how can we not end with Yahusha? Misalignment. The Bible says, those that believe in Yahusha should never see death nor taste death. Notice it says, those who believe in Yahusha. What is belief? I believe in you, therefore I follow you. And if I'm following you, then I'm in alignment with you. And if I'm in an alignment with you, I should never see death nor taste death. How? Because I'm aligned with truth. I'm aligned with love. But the day I stop believing is the day I'm out of alignment. And that day the Father did not stop loving me. He just can't compromise his vision, his love for me. So the love that he has for me is still there. But he loved me so much, he respects my decision to let me go. He's not letting me go. I'm walking away. But he loves me so much, he's gonna say, if that's what you want to do, respect. But I still love you. It began with love and it will end with love if we do not align with the father. So what does that mean? Does that mean that the father Jeremiah doesn't love us? He does love us with an everlasting love. But in order for us to benefit with that love, we must agree to the vision. In the book of Amos, chapter 3, verse 3, it says, can two walk together except they both agree? So what ends a relationship, Jeremiah? You said this will be enlightened, you said this would be eye-opening, misalignment, not adultery, not dishonesty, misalignment, not betrayal, misalignment. Now, think about your relationships, the ones that ended. Yeah, I know those can be problematic for you, right? But don't focus on the problems, focus on the last conversation you had with that person. What did you say? I can no longer be in this relationship because you don't respect me. I can no longer be in this relationship because you don't listen to me. I can no longer be in this relationship because so you walk away, why? Because you two are no longer in agreement. Now we've been conditioned to believe the relationship ended because that person treated me poorly. There's truth behind that. And that could be what broke the camel's back. That could be what led to the breakup, but that's not the core reason behind why you two are no longer together. Okay. Sin does not cause us to be separated from the Father first. Really? No. Yahuwah said in the book of Exodus, he said, He swear by his own wrath they will not enter his wrath because of their unbelief. Yahusha says, if we don't believe that he is the great I am, we would die in our sins. So what separate us from the love of the Father? Unbelief. And what is unbelief? Misalignment. And what is misalignment? A cancer to a relationship. You see, the father made provision for our sin, so he cannot hold us accountable for our sin. He cannot judge us based on sin because he came to lay down his life to make provision for our sin. So our sin does not separate us from the father. When we believe our sins are forgiven, but because we don't believe the father cannot forgive our sins. So our sins are not forgiven because of misalignment. Unbelief in the Father causes us to be separated from the Father. Separation comes from unbelief. Now let's go back to your relationship. You two are no longer together because you told the person the vision of us being together. But that person didn't want the vision because the way they treated you, the way they talked to you, the way they mishandled you. That's problematic. You made the decision to say, you know what, this ain't gonna work. Why? Because we're not in alignment. The disrespect is there, the betrayal is there. Yeah. But you walked away because you two cannot walk together because you're not in agreement. This is the core reason behind each and every relationship that ends on earth and in heaven. Why did Lucifer get kicked out? Misalignment. Why did Adam and Eve get kicked out of the garden? Misalignment. That's why the relationship with the garden ended. That's why Lucifer got kicked out. Misalignment. So your relationship ended because you two can no longer walk together in agreement. That's why it is critical, the Bible says, it is the will of the Father that none should perish, that all should come to repentance. In other words, what he's saying is, I don't want you to perish. Come into alignment with me. Because if you don't come into alignment with me, I love you, but I can't compromise my vision. I can't compromise my truth. I can't compromise my love. Because upon this rock, I'm building my relationship. Upon this love, I'm building my relationship. And the way this relationship is built upon, Yahushua says, my truth, my identity, my purpose, my righteousness, it must end there as well. And the only way it won't end there if you choose to not believe. So what all you're getting, get understanding. And that's why it's so critical to get the book, Who Do You Say I Am? to come in an alignment with the Father and the other book, Eternal Salvation, The Hellproof Doctrine. How can you share in what the Father gave us if you've been conditioned by repetition to believe love comes later? Love takes time. And if you believe that, then ask yourself, what are you building your relationship off of? The relationship is already compromised from the beginning. That's why Yahusha says, upon this rock, that the relationship with Yahusha starts first with identity, purpose, love, and his name. And it will end that way if we stay in alignment. Shocking, isn't it? It's shocking, isn't it? It's enlightened, isn't it? When you thought your relationships did not work because of disrespect. I'm not saying it add to it, but now you got a clear understanding why you're no longer at that job. You got a clear understanding why you're no longer in that relationship. You got a clear understanding why you and your besties are no longer friends. Yes, it's problematic, but the truth is we're no longer friends because we don't see eye to eye. We don't agree. Now, there is repentance where two people can come back together in reconciliation, but there is no reconciliation without alignment. So how can you be reconciled with the Father? How can you be reconciled with yourself? How can you be reconciled with your significant other if there's no alignment? If there's no alignment, then what is it? Compromise. And what are you compromising? Your vision, your identity, your purpose. And when that relationship is over, you feel lost, don't you? You feel confused, don't you? You don't know what to do, do you? Why? Because you compromise your identity and you compromise your vision. You compromise who you are to the point you lost yourself. And that's what the father cannot do. The father cannot lose himself simply because we do not want to be in agreement with him. He will simply let us go and do what we please. But leave the door open for us to return with repentance. Repentance is alignment. With all you're getting, definitely get the books. And with all you're getting, definitely get understanding. Because here we keep Yahushua as king.
