Intimate moments with God are times when you worship God and praise His Name. You call upon His Name and He answers you...you tell Him you remember all the things He's ever done on earth, from His creation to when He carried the cross for you. You tell Him that you remember every thing He's done for you and your family...from protection to food and shelter. You tell Him every morning you wake up that His creations cause you to burst into praise...everything outside your window glorifies God, from the birds chirping on the fence, to the grass wet with the morning's dew...then in that very moment you pause for a second and then you ask Him how He divided the red sea into two, and then you chuckle gently to youself and tell Him He's the only one that can do something like that. In intimate moments you tell your lover He's the greatest...so you tell God that He's the King of all kings, and the Lord of all Lords...El Eyon the Most High God. There is no other God that can EVER compare with Him. You laugh out loud as you remember how the gods of Dagon fell when they were placed beside the Lover of your soul. You then repeat after the psalmist that, "once has God spoken, and twice have you heard, that POWER belongs to God,"(psalm 62:11).
I read this on wikipedia, "The meaning of intimacy varies from relationship to relationship, and within a given relationship. Intimacy has more to do with shared moments than sexual interactions. Intimacy is linked with feelings of closeness, safety, trust and transparency among partners in a collaborative relationship. For intimacy to be sustainable and nourishing it also requires trust, transparency and rituals of connection. Intimacy is both the ability and the choice to be close, loving and vulnerable. Intimacy requires identity development. You have to know yourself and your innards in order to share your self with another. Knowing yourself makes it possible to stand for yourself in an intimate relationship without taking over the other or losing yourself to the other."
i got stuck on paragraph four Jaycee. that paragraph alone filled me up too overflowing...thank you for ministering.
Curvy...listen to the second song as well, guess what it says (and I pray this for you no matter what you've been going thru)...it says, "I will BE STILL and know You are God!!!"
You write with a very easy hand that does not come across as too preachy. It evokes so much tranquilty and peace in the reader.
I really look forward to that level of intimacy. The problem is that we (I) live such "busy" lives that I wonder how possible that will be. It would definitely involve some sacrifice on my part and I can guess that it would neither be easy nor automatic at first.
I'm with Atutupoyoyo on this one.
He does desire that intimacy with us and ongs that we loves Him deeple.
Even the mere thoughts of intimacy with God can be overwhelming...u may just resign to the fact that "it can't be possible," "who really DOES that?" But then again...as far as people have experienced it before, in all boldness I say that you (Uzo, kafo, bgh, atutupoyoyo, and feather) that YOU can definitely experience it from this point henceforth.
