S2 · E06 | I Never Knew You! The Sobering Truth About Intimacy with God
from Legacy Shift With Trena Ratto · host trenan
In Matthew 7:21–23, Jesus speaks sobering words: “Many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord…’ and I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you.’” This episode confronts the difference between spiritual activity and true intimacy with God. Jesus did not deny the works—He denied the relationship. Power, gifting, and public fruit are not proof of intimacy. A person can preach, prophesy, cast out demons, and still be unknown to Christ. This message is not about condemnation, but an invitation back to the secret place, where real knowing is formed. In this episode, we explore what it means to be known by God—a knowing born from surrender, communion, and a life yielded to His presence. 🙌 If this episode encouraged you: Like 👍 • Share 🤍 • Subscribe 🔔 • Give me a review📝 Follow along for more encouragement: FB: Life Builder Network IG: @lifebuildernetwork YT: Life Builder Network Your support helps extend this message of hope, freedom, and lasting impact. ▶️ Prefer video?
