Intimacy With God!

The most intimate time with God and man took place when He breathed into Adam the breath of life. He walked and talked with God in the cool of the day. I heard it preached that it meant Adam communed with the breath of God. The very essence of God. I like that. But can we handle all that God is!!! I want to know God in all His fullness. How about you?

Pray often and pray intensely. And then just sit in His presence. Think of yourself as a dry sponge and the Holy Spirit being rain. Let Him saturate you. Then go out and be a blessing to the world.; ▶ Reply to This

We can always tell when we are in a dry spot. I've been there before, so I know the signs. It's not a good place to be. The Bible tells to to 'draw nigh to God'. When we begin to let other things dwindle the time we spend in His presence, your spirit man begins to starve. You can read your Word, you can say your prayers. But, if your heart is not right, you will starve and stray.; ▶ Reply to This

"Father God, I confess that I have violated Your holiness. Please cleanse me from all known and unknown sin. Thank You, Father for being holy enough to be angry at my sin, but loving enough to forgive me and to reconcile me to Yourself". There are times when we have all violated God's holiness. Prayerlessness is a major sin. Don't let other things steal your time and devotion to God. Repent and step into His holy presence; ▶ Reply to This

You alone are my strength and shield. To you alone my spirit yields. My soul thirsts for you in a dry and weary land.; ▶ Reply to This

Problem is that when you slow down in one area, here comes something else trying to take your focus. We have to be diligent and it's an ongoing process isn't it?

Lord, we are desperate for you. We long for your touch. As the deer pants for the water, we pant for you. We thirst for you. Nothing else will quench that thirst.; ▶ Reply to This
