Intimacy

In these days … you have to listen (for yourself)!

exodus 20 moses listen

In the days of the wilderness wanderings, the children of Israel trembled in the sight of God … and said to Moses, “You go and speak to God for us; and we will listen to you”. However, in these days, we can’t be like the children of Israel and say to someone else … “Go and speak to God for me, and tell me what the Lord is saying!” And though we don’t ignore prophetic voices, (we test them), if we are born again and have His Holy Spirit, we can receive communication direct… from the Lord, Himself. With troubles and dangers on the rise, we each need to cultivate a sensitivity to His Spirit, the ability to hear His inner voice. No, I’m not talking (necessarily) about an audible voice, but a spiritual sensitivity that will navigate us around the landmines which surround us.

When we pray, we have direct access to God, our Father, not on our own merit, since our own righteousness is but filthy rags [Isaiah 64:6], but on the merit and perfection of His only Son.

Who do you know?

My wife and I are celebrating our 20-year wedding anniversary tomorrow and it would seem that I know her pretty well. But every once in a while, she says or does something that surprises me — and I think to myself “Wow, I guess I didn’t know her as well as I thought!” The more time I spend with her, the more I get to know her — her heart, her character — the more we become intimate.
