God is the God of relationships. With that in mind, we would like to thank Tom Reedy for three years of wonderful ministry through Fullness Magazine Online. His wisdom and ability to summarize articles into an editorial column along with his insightful articles have been a blessing. Thank you, Tom!
God instituted the principle of strong, positive relationships when He created Adam and Eve. His desire was to walk in covenant relationship with them and us, but rebellion reared its head. His desire to be in relationship with us is so strong that He provides a way for that broken relationship to be restored and even enhanced. That avenue to restoration is through Jesus and His Spirit that indwells us, fills us, teaches us, and imparts the power to live life to the fullest.
Follow this issue of Fullness Magazine Online as several writers explore and explain what it means to walk in covenant relationship and how to do that. God’s Word has so much to say about walking in covenant relationships. Enjoy hearing the heart of our beloved Bev Robinson, her heir Robin Bohlin in their columns. Our featured authors Joshua and April Bohlin tell their story along with excellent insight from Jennifer Peikert, Dale Simmons and Anderick Biddle.

Joshua Bohlin, grandson of Ras and Bev Robinson and son of Jonas and Robin Bohlin, and his wife, April, have an amazing relationship. They have written our feature article, Generational Covenant Relationships. Why is their relationship amazing? Because they have patterned it according to the Word of God. They are great communicators and are committed to each other for life! What a joy to see commitment to each other recognized and practiced through generations!
Dale Simmons, who ministered with Ras in the early days of Fulness, in his article entitled Together Again, shares a heart-warming story of the lives of two beautiful friends in relationship without regard to time or distance. About this wonderful story, Dale says, “This is a story of what relationship is all about, relationship as God planned it from the beginning, relationship with Him and with each other. Stay tuned to the end. God never disappoints.”
A repeat writer and best-selling author, Anderick Biddle…wow…writes an article entitled The Power of Covenant Relationships: A Call to Covenant People. It is a must read as he describes the importance of being in relationship with others. We can do so much more together. He also relates to readers how important it is to be in “covenant” relationships with others that are built on Biblical principles, not worldly values.
Jennifer Peikert, a prophetic writer, in her article Relationship with Daddy God: Be Still and Know, shares wonderful understanding of what it means to “BE STILL and know that I am God.” She points out that, “So many times, we want things to happen more quickly than we are seeing them, so we try to ‘help’ God. When the truth is many times, we need to move out of His way.” She shares a powerful testimony of what happens when we trust God and let Him bring His blessing and abundance into our lives.
In a reprint column from 1989, A Woman’s Perspective, an account of a miraculous healing, Beverly Robinson describes the strength and power of a community gathering together, without orchestration, in relationship to pray for a man that was near death. Bev was a woman who strongly believed in the power of covenant relationships.
Lastly and perhaps my favorite writer in this issue, Robin Bohlin, (I bet you can’t figure out why she is my favorite) writes a column about relationships in the Church and hearing God. In it, she references the trying times in our world today and the importance of walking in relationship, authority, and power as the Body of Christ. She encourages the Church with “I believe that it means that we are all connected, and we should remain connected during good times and bad times.”
