Intimacy - Ps James Hensley - 29 September 2019

 INTIMACY These is nothing like the presence of God. Nothing compares to the feeling of being connected to Father. When you are in His presence, in the Secret Place, it is just you and Him. The SECRET PLACE In the Secret Place my ANXIETIES are overcome with His PEACE In the Secret Place my FEARS and worries FADE INTO NOTHING In the Secret Place my INSECURITIES are grounded in SONSHIP In the Secret Place my LONLINESS and REJECTION are overcome with BELONGING In the Secret Place my APPROVAL is NOT BASED on performance and results My TIREDNESS and my heavy heart find REST In the Secret Place I have Fathers UNDIVIDED ATTENTION We ARE created for presence. We are created for intimacy with our Father. My greatest calling, my greatest mandate is FATHER. It’s connecting with Him and knowing Him. Father spent 5 days making creation, yet creation was still incomplete. Genesis 1:26 “Let US make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” Genesis 2:7 “and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” We are created different from all other creation. He BREATHES His life into us. RUACH means breath. It means Spirit and Life. Father is BREATHED into Adam. We were created BY Father and FOR Father for no other reason than He wants us. He desires us and wants to have relationship with us. He wants to connect with us in a deep and personal way.
