Intimacy with God

[Episkopos]

Are you interested in deeper life issues, spiritual truth and reality, ultimate purpose, community and authenticity? In this episode we explore the prerequisites along with the motivation needed for a close walk with God in an eternal divine relationship by the Spirit. Watch without wavering: seek without faltering: pray without ceasing.

 

[Episkopos]

Is it a wonder that so few are interested in knowing God for Himself. No. Most only think of God in self-interest. Yet, the greatest commandment is to know and love the One who created all things, including those who are not interested in any kind of deeper knowing of Him. Surely these honour God with their lips but their hearts are far from Him.

 

[Wynona]

I used to beg God to visit me in prayer. This video makes me feel justified in that endeavor. I still want a closer walk with Him. I just perhaps need to be more patient in seeking.

 

[Wynona]

Lord, help me to love You with my whole heart.

This one stings a little, because I recognize this shortcoming in myself.

 

[MatthewG]

This one stings a little, because I recognize this shortcoming in myself.

Thankfully Yeshua, brings us in right standing with Yahavah even in our shortcomings.

I don't even do nothing for God personally, but when Yeshua comes through it most certainly is from the Spirit of Christ. When abiding in Yeshua.

I feel as though I waste more life than I actually give it but hey, who is anyone to ever judge me personally.


But should I let my feelings control what I understand already in my heart in faith?

Romans 5:

Peace and Hope​

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Matthew, did you ever want to really know YaHaVaH face-to-face?

For a long time, I did not; I was taught to be afraid of God ("no man sees my face and lives"). It's still there, but I recognize that now as a deficiency in my own faithfulness, trust, love, and reverence.

 

[MatthewG]

Matthew, did you ever want to really know YaHaVaH face-to-face?

Looking at Yahavahs Son, I’ve seen his Heart.
Yeshua being the very Word of God, expresses the heart of the Father fully! Especially towards the people whom he had chose during that time when Yeshua was preaching and sharing the good news which involved all the Old Testament itself. I believe people can see Yahavahs heart through his son…

But the Lord said unto Samuel, “Look not on his countenance or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him; for the Lord seeth not as man seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lordlooketh on the heart.”

His face I never did consider about seeing cause he gonna also be looking at my heart.

For a long time, I did not; I was taught to be afraid of God ("no man sees my face and lives"). It's still there, but I recognize that now as a deficiency in my own faithfulness, trust, love, and reverence.

I’m glad the heart of Yahavah through Yeshua has helped you be able to get closer to Yahavah, in general…

God is apart of everyone, and that’s how near he is especially to those whom are broken hearted and looking in faith.

Hope this answer was efficient enough for you? And may you continue to be faithful.






The writer of Hebrews expresses not coming to the mountain which their ancestors did but something else.

“You have not come to a physical mountain, to a place of flaming fire, darkness, gloom, and whirlwind, as the Israelites did at Mount Sinai. For they heard an awesome trumpet blast and a voice so terrible that they begged God to stop speaking. They staggered back under God’s command: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he said, “I am terrified and trembling.” No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect. You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬-‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

[LoveYeshua]

Lord, help me to love You with my whole heart.

john 14:21 NKJV
21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [a]manifest Myself to him.”

 

[Wynona]

Its tough finding time for the secret place. But it's so worth it.

 

[Wynona]

I see now that the "balance" I was looking for in my busy home life can only come from seeking God alone in the secret place.

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and it's righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. "

I agree.

Knowing Him, and learning directly from Him, is worth more than having the "right doctrine."
